  Just another one of the growing list of “non-employee contractors” who just so happen to only work for one company under its complete control. It’s as if the legal definition of employee is completely useless.

  These companies do this to escape providing the bare minimum of employee benefits. They push employer tax liabilities, accounting, insurance, etc. onto these workers, who likely aren’t even making a living wage. Meanwhile raking in profits.

  It’s pathetic. And sociopathic.

  This is what fedex and ups have been doing as well. Slowly moving in that direction.

    Eventually it’ll be third parties all the way down.
