A lot of us don't like "how the broader workforce operates", and since Google is basically a monopolist/oligpolist, they make a fine target.

They're the wrong target, though. If you don't like it, fix the laws!

[miketery]

Fixing laws starts with awareness. This is it, were more aware and discussing as a result.

The article doesn't make you aware of the industry norms around Temps/Contractors, or reasons behind those norms. It just presents a bunch of factoids and insinuates ill intent.

Believe me, I'm not writing this because I like Google or the way IT hiring works right now. I'm writing this because I dislike bad journalism.

Many of the things the article complains about are entirely normal practices if you have contractors/temps. In fact, you can get legally punished if you don't do some of those things. The real question is why there are so many of CVTs (nearly half) at Google.

Obviously you got to be quite and not complain and then magically fix the laws. Quitely. Shhh.

Because obviously sending polite petitions to change.org is how class struggle works /s.
