This is true for contract workers, but I believe we’re talking about W2 employees, who rarely have a contract if they’re not part of a union.

My perspective might be skewed because I always have a contract, even when I am an internal FTE. But my circumstance is not necessarily ‘normal’ since I live in Canada but work in the US/EU far more often than at home.

The laws are pretty different for contract workers vs W2 employees. W2 employees can have contracts, but it’s really rare outside of unions. Conditions of employment can in most cases be changed at the employers discretion.
I feel a little bit like I’m defending Amazon here, but I’m really trying to highlight that our worker protections are crap in the US. Unions are really the way to go if employees want security. Tech industry has way too few unions.
