alt Hacker NewsEveryone always seems to assume everyone else is a corporate bot and they are the only true mercenary just working for the money.
I’ve seen so many contractors who think they’re so smart for being contractors and not loyal to any kind of company… turns out they do the same shit an employee does just gets paid 5x less, and when they’re booted no one really gives gives a shit about them. Okay…

I was a contractor for 14 years, and I kept running into people like you that didn't realize I got paid a lot MORE to come in and fix the problems that the full timers couldn't.
Reminds me of the folks I tell I work in "IT", and they think I fix printers all day.
I get paid 3x more, also employees also get booted and no one cares after about 2 hours.
