Yeah, those are the hoops companies jump through to call a large portion of 
their workforce "independent contractors" and not employees with benefits. I 
worked at a company that capped all ICs at 1 year employment.

Our IT techs were all outsourced from a company that provided IT services, 
not personnel, so they were free to take on the benefit cost or the 
liability of classifying full-time employees as contractors.

Independent, yet I need to be at the 8:30am stand-up meeting every tuesday 
and thursday?
