How is being a contractor relevant here? A normal employee could say exactly the same things
And get fired without pay. Contractors have some problems of their own, but their contract usually guarantees a certain amount of pay and if they're any kind of smart, specific job duties.
I mean, only if you live a country that hates people and refuses to pass any laws about worker protection. If a dutch employer wants to fire you for "Not doing things that aren't in your contract", they're going to have to a hard time.
Even in the USA I don't think that companies can get away with that.
I have worked for US employers and they are generally aware that contracts are somewhat more enforced than worker rights.
That's what I said. Contracts protect their named contractors. It's the regular employees who would get fucked here.
Ah, I kinda meant that in places with proper employee protection, everyone has a contract.
If only everywhere were so fortunate.
