Did I make a mistake staying through the staffing crisis? A few coworkers left, came back months later as contractors, and are now clearing almost double my pay for the same shifts. I’m proud that I stuck it out, but financially it feels like I played the wrong hand.

They might be making more than you, but they also had to have lost benefits by going from W2 employee to contractor. If that is true, you can't evaluate the decision on pay alone. 401k match, insurance, etc. all factor into it.

It would be a good idea to look at the totality of the situation. It's possible the people who returned as contractors aren't getting benefits, and they could also be let go quickly. Generally speaking it's better to be a full employee.

contractors dont get the benefits for time off and health benefits so I think you still win there

It depends how you see it. They don't have job security and I don't think they get the benefits you are entitled too.

That’s crazy! Sounds like you should have left
too, but since they are contractors are they getting the same benefits as you are getting? That may be the difference.
