| Jun 28, 2017 at 13:23 | comment | added | Honinbo Shusaku | @TonyEnnis Why is that? As an intern at a very large telecommunications company last year, I noticed how everyone treated contractors as 2nd class citizens, and I couldn't understand why. Doing a web search on it made me understand that there are possible legal reasons for excluding them from team events, corporate outings, etc. but I don't understand why people don't seem to be friendly with them or consider them equals (if I assessed and observed the atmosphere correctly) | |

| Jun 27, 2017 at 10:01 | comment | added | Flater | +1 For the contractor route. That's what I did about 4 years ago, and I'm pretty much the same as OP in regards to the necessity of socializing. | |

| Jun 26, 2017 at 16:11 | comment | added | sirdank | +1 for mentioning contracting. This is exactly what contractors at my workplace do even if everyone else gets along and talks a lot. | |
| Jun 26, 2017 at 15:56 | comment | added | PeteCon | Generally good advice, as always - but a "junior dev" would not make a good contractor unless they have another super power in an associated role. | |
| Jun 26, 2017 at 13:36 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | Pure genius. Brilliant use, not just for glassdoor, but anything. People are more likely to complain, and looking for people complaining about things you like is a great filter! | |
| Jun 26, 2017 at 13:29 | comment | added | R. Que | Interesting way of using Glassdoor! | |
