I'm a contractor, I work for one of the largest telecom companies in the world. Anyone who has worked for this company knows how well known it is for endless bureaucracy, which is fine, because they pay me even if I cant actually do any work. I make around to slightly above market rates. I have no benefits. I pay for health insurance. I have no paid vacation. I don't get catered lunches. I don't get a foosball table either. Even though I'm a field service engineer, I don't even have a company vehicle. I'm a mid-career telecom engineer, I've been doing telecom support and IT Service for 10 years, I would love to find a permanent position, every perm role I have made it into, I've been either downsized or outsourced out of. So I contract. So when I see someone like this bemoaning their very good situation, I can't help but roll my eyes a little.
