[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 413817, member: 1514"] I know. However, just do it. I know many people who are subcontractors. Are you a 1099 worker or a W2? Since you get insurance I am assuming W2. I actually know someone, or knew someone because they died a few years ago, who worked for a company providing computer support services to the army. The army had contracted that particular issue out to a large corporation based out of VA. He lived in TX and the large corporation subcontracted the TX work out to a TX company for the army units in TX. Does this sound vaguely familiar? Well, eventually, the army decided to take bids on its contracts like the do so often which left the whole country in a panic because if the main contractor at risk, the subs were at risk. If the main one lost the contract, there was no sure thing that if a new large corporation would still keep the subs working. In fact they didnt. They decided they wanted to just come in and use their own people based out of wherever they were based out of and do it all. Now luckily for my friend, he interviewed with the new company and they hired him on...at a slightly reduced salary though but he had just bought a house where he lived and had a lot of kids to think about. It would not have been easy for him to jump ship and go looking elsewhere. I wonder if you are in a similar position. [/QUOTE]
