      And both the company and employment agency have incentives to keep the “temp” as a temp for as long as humanly possible…

      Amazon upped it here by hiring courier companies, even helping to found them, with really bad contract deals, rather than hiring individual contractors like companies had before this.

        fuck employment agencies tho, they’re unnecessary middlemen the same way for-profit health insurers are.
