Large corporations like to hire people as temps or independent contractors so they can give them all the responsibility of an actual employee but none of the benefits
Amazon upped it here by hiring courier companies, even helping to found them, with really bad contract deals, rather than hiring individual contractors like companies had before this.

Looking at you, Google
RIP employment agencies.
fuck employment agencies tho, they’re unnecessary middlemen the same way for-profit health insurers are.
Just a way to get out of those pesky workers rights like insurance, paid sick days/vacation days, OSHA, and child labor laws
And both the company and employment agency have incentives to keep the “temp” as a temp for as long as humanly possible…
