So you, with a straight face, are claiming that companies always write down and distribute policy to govern their intentional unethical behavior?
You are ignorant about this. I happened to work for a company that changed their practices as a result of this lawsuit (or maybe a later one? if so, further proves the point which you’re jumping over). That company let about 8 contractors go that I know of, and replaced them with about 3-4 permanent hires. Kind of shows you how much money they were saving by hiring people as “temps” which they intended to renew indefinitely until it was no longer convenient for them. They, like MS, required contractors to report in person during specific hours for work. Something you legally cannot do with contractors. They got scared of a lawsuit so they stopped. They admitted that was the reason to me and referenced MS by name.
Believe what you want, this isn’t actually debatable though…
Right, when an entire industry shifted after they got into trouble for doing that, it was just my anecdote…
Yeah the conversation went off the rails because you took it there. You’re wrong about most things but instead of conceding or going away, you just keep moving goalposts. Bye.
Took me 15 seconds on DDG to find it btw

Wow you really are a corporate simp. The lawsuit would never have been necessary if MS hadn’t been trying to stiff their workers.
