I guess number two explains why I have heard of some companies keeping contractors around for a maximum of one year. My brother worked for Apple doing tech support as a contractor for awhile and he said that once you had worked for a year you were either fired by the employment agency or hired as an employee of Apple. Also, I'm working as a contractor this summer for a power company, and I've heard that it is policy that contractors can only stay for a year. One of my coworkers started as a contractor worked for a little over a year, and ended up getting fired for a few months until a full time position could open up and he could be hired as an employee.
