    Working With Constant Rotation of Contract Engineering Help

    Why won’t your company hire them back after a year under a new contract? I’ve been contracting for some time now and rarely stay at one job for less than 3 years. When my date comes due, paperwork is dropped off at my desk and I have a new badge the day before my old contract expires. Five years...

    I have to agree with the OP and FineThread.
