  • Yes, exactly. They have a separate clause in their contract that makes it so you can’t be hired at the company you’re being contracted to until you’re most of the way through your contract (or the company has to pay the contracting agency a decent chunk of change if they really want to hire you on early).

    And the noncompete is an additional document to prevent you from just ending your contract early and applying for the real position at the company without that issue.

    Basically the contracting agency trying to get as much money as possible. Even while offering the most minimum of worker benefits they can legally manage.







  • Would this also apply to a contracting agency that has a noncompete document that had to be signed by their contractor employees?

    The noncompete is so that the contracting employee can’t end the contract early and then be hired directly by the company they were being contracted to. At least not for at least a year after ending the contract unless the length of the contract was completed in full.

    Edited for clarity






  • Generally true, yes. In most cases, the leftists using that sort of terminology are tankies, meaning they are explicitly pro-authoritarian. They just want the dictators to be communists (or claimed communists) rather than capitalists (despite said dictatorial communism usually being about seizing all the money for themselves anyways and often results in full on capitalism regardless, China is a great example).

    So you don’t even need the word replacement thought experiment. Tankies are openly authoritarian.
