i work as a contractor for a large company. MY hiring/staffing agency has completely eliminated our:
-sick pay
-vacation pay
-401k match
-bonus pay
-holiday pay
and damn near every other benefit in just the past few months.
The only thing I get is my hourly rate and pretty much free health coverage, which Im thankful for. Its a good opportunity though and Im willing to take my lumps and ride this out.
They keep running all these stories about the furloughed state workers, boo hoo I say. They get more vacation, holiday and hangover (i meant sick) days, than I have ever used in my life.
