End "A-Dash" Contracts!
by John F. Bergin
I have informed my previous managers at Microsoft and area consulting agencies that I will no longer accept "A-Dash" contracts. After 4 years
and 4 layoffs, I've had enough!
Microsoft generally treats their contract workers poorly, but the most egregious condition is the 100-Day Break. Why do contract workers have
to suffer yearly layoffs? It makes "Work-Life Balance" a complete joke!
I am out approximately $100,000.00 in lost wages and un-recoupable expenses over the last 4 years due to this policy.
I would ask everyone to do as I am, and refuse to accept any more Microsoft A-Dash contracts. It's time Microsoft walk the walk, and extend
Work-Life Balance to all of it's workers!
