Thanks! Do contractors usually get wage-employee benefits, PTO etc?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is what I am wondering....

The CEO did mention the jobs being like Uber, which worries me...

It sounds like he wants to use contractors that can quickly be terminated once AI picks up the pace....

Among other things. If it's like Uber that means there will be lulls too. And would these jobs be localized or globalized? This is just sketchy all around, but FT always carries water for their target audience, as do most publications, I suppose.
