Why are you surprised?

Often at the start of a downturn, companies will let go temps and contractors over employees, so it can be a rough time to be a contractor, and in some cases, a consultant. Conversely, as recovery starts, often contract labor is brought back before full time hiring starts until the company is sure growth is back.

Is Google unemployment insurance now?

This is a shame, but it says right in the headline... Contractors and temporary workers.

You are always at higher risk if you’re in these categories.

A lot of companies are going to use this as an opportunity to trim fat.

Why is google being singled out? I really feel for the contractors but most public companies take care of their shareholders>leadership>non-leadership>contractors in that order so not surprised this happened? Our clients cut our projects first during downturns.

Um, I feel like my BF of almost 4yrs (1 living together) and I are on the brink of separating. I think COVID is putting it into perspective. We’ve gotten through the worst of the quarantine while supporting each other as best we could (very thankful for him). But his coping skills with stress (during covid) are lacking and as things progressed he’s just been taking it out on me more and more in the moment, then he feels awful for not treating me as well as I deserve (he treated me well before..)

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
