Minpunten
Contractors were frequently treated differently from full time employees. Company events, holiday celebrations, prizes, and morale activities were openly communicated throughout email and the building, while contractors were told they were excluded from participation. There were also situations where meetings regarding bonuses and employee incentives took place onsite while contractors were asked to leave the area entirely. The separation between contractors and employees created an uncomfortable and discouraging environment despite contractors contributing significantly to daily operations.
Training and communication could also be inconsistent, and long term growth opportunities for contractors lacked transparency mostly due to "budget".
