They're literally contractors for that reason, why are you surprised?
why wouldn't they just hire contractors who don't expect to ever be hired?
Lol that's what you get for using contractors
Sounds like you got seriously taken advantage of by the contractors you've been using.
Nothing, but the company they contracted with that's screwing up is probably getting a good paycheck
I would guess outsourcing to contractors is involved in this mess somewhere.
Contractors are treated pretty poorly at those companies
Or just nobody did care. Contractor's main expense are kickbacks and actual product is made by cheapest subcontractor.
As a contractor your very disposable if it doesn't work out.
The lesson is probably that you're not good at hiring and working with contractors yet. If you think the solution is better legal agreements you're in for a very rough ride.
