One of my relatives works for a large well known game developer; same employer for years. Because they decide to classify many of their devs as contract workers, they are denied rights afforded to 'full-time' employees - when she is laid off for months at a time (to prevent being called a full-time) she can't collect unemployment. No health care, no benefits whatsoever. And due to contracts, can't work for a rival either during this time. Its forced unemployment.
None of the employees are happy with this situation, but job scared that they'll simply be replaced by those who won't complain, and blacklisted.
