- SilasX 11y agoWell, the rhetorical device conveys the wrong thing, so it's not very good: - Being contracted is a way to be employed. - The contractor can still be an employee of the contracting agency - It can mean "employee vs out-of-work" [1] just as much as "employee vs contractor" To often, journalists fancy themselves novelists and sacrifice clarity for flourish. In this context, that's the wrong choice. [1] What I and the sibling thought.
