    that’s because they keep going at it from a timeline POV; I believe if they made required work time slots as a limitation against contract work (i.e if you are required to work between x-y daily) this issue would be resolved. There’s no real reason for many contract positions to be a static time slot, contractors are supposed to be fully flexible on their own time as long as the end product is correct and within SLA, thd only benefit to fixed scheduling is management level, so I think that would tip the scale onto employee instead of contractor

      That’s really only true for independent contractors, not W2 contract work to be fair. And every 1099 contract I’ve worked I’ve always clarified that stipulation in writing. In the interest of working together I do agree to be on daily or semi daily standups to allow progress.
