I started to put this comment in the Coronovirus thread, then thought, hey, may be worthy of its own thread.
@BetteTheRed , @Lastpointe - not sure if you are interested
One advantage of contractors, is you didn't have to pay severance, so you could go up & down with the change in demand or skill sets based on the projects or needs of the organization.
Have a bunch of deaths and empty beds in a LTC home, reduce the number of contractors. Numbers go up, bring contractors on. Well, at least that is the theory.
I always prefer investing in employees for anything operational and retraining.
Employees, though, especially small ones, have found that they can end up with stagnate employees that do not retrain well, and the cost to release them and get someone with the rights skills is too high.
