Contractors are 99% likely to be be let go, as opposed to 98% for non-contractors.

@R02HTfS-7isp, obviously you don't understand English, maybe you learned English in India, China, or maybe Japan? Diversity and a b---s--- racist bias, that somehow envisages a kind of default competence in those eastern countries, may open doors for you but it doesn't substitute for intelligence or competence in a competitive economy!

The fact that there was some issue how ever trivial is not good as a contractor or employee especially with lay-offs around the corner. It is even worse if you are not Indian. Good luck, as being a contractor you are better off elsewhere.

You are out of luck. If someone doesn’t like the way you look you are gone. They don’t like what you eat for lunch, you are gone. They don’t like your shoes, you are gone.

You have no protection. You have no rights. As a contractor you are beneath all employees.

if you were an 'at-will' employee you would have no recourse, what makes you think a contractor has any protection?

Were you let go DUE to the fact your English is not good?

Assuming you were placed by an agency/vendor - check with them on the terms of your contract.

No. That’s why they hire contractors.
