I've heard that this is a growing trend, and has been for a while, companies declaring that people who work for them are "independent contractors," instead of employees. Lets the companies drop a lot of perks and do a lot of other things that they otherwise wouldn't be able to do as easily if the people were direct employees. I understand that companies sometimes have to do creative things to stay afloat, but many times, I believe that's not the case as much as it is some semblance of corporate greed.
