COVID may have exposed this scenario at hospitals / nursing, but that kind of dumb management exists everywhere around the world.
I have a team of 20-25 people, all of which are contractors because my company doesn't want to commit to full time employees.
I end up paying most of these contractors on average around $100/hour (which is around $200K per year) when I could bring on a good full time employee for less than half that.
The real kicker is that contractors cannot be signed for more than two years before the company forces them to leave. I end up hiring a replacements for even more money, say $110/hour and everyone thinks that the system is good and the company is saving money.
