Nope, not even close to true in my experience. Almost all of the high performers I know have a huge social network they can tap into and you can't finger them as SWEs from a mile away.

Do these high performers also cast their colleagues with tasteful adjectives such as "abject"? Must be a bunch of very interesting people indeed.

This isn't just google, it's every company with contractors and employees. Microsoft learned the hard way to not treat contractors like employees. https://www.reuters.com/article/businesspropicks-us-findlaw-... Nobody else wants to learn that same lesson.

Every US company. European companies somehow have contractors without caste system. Obviously there are different policies for internals and contractors, but fruits and pizza are for everyone in the office.

European tech worker is compensated so measly everyone is equally poor I suppose.

Just like every commun... ehem... socialist system, it achieves equality at epsilon.
