"yellow badges" are contractors at Google.
- TheCoelacanth 12y agoThey are contractors, but are they independent contractors? I think it's more likely that they are employees of a staffing firm that Google contracts out to for workers rather than independent contractors that Google contracts directly.
- hypatiadotca 12y agoBecause of the "permatemps" lawsuit against Microsoft back in the day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permatemp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permatemp), tech companies almost always hire contractors via staffing firms. I'm sure Google is no exception. I also don't think it's particularly important to this story, but ymmv.
