Blisenko,

Thanks for the article. I don't believe the spin on this at all. I work for Microsoft and have been involved in hiring for a number of years now. I know people in many groups around the company and in other countries as well. Microsoft treats its employees and contractors very well. I know of cases where employees have left the company and then come back as contractors voluntarily. I know of cases where employees have left and come back full time, and I know of cases where contractors have interviewed for and been hired into full time positions.

Many of the contractors I know are pretty upset about this issue and in agreement with Microsoft. It diminishes their salability. When someone decides to come on board as a contractor, they make a trade off between hourly pay scales (usually higher than salary for same level of work), getting a foot in the door, level of long term commitment, and benefits. They know ahead of time what they are agreeing to in their contract.

Thanks,
Mike
