Discussion Board

Part I: Introduce yourself to your classmates with your name, location, current employment, and future goals.

Part II: Briefly describe a time that you (if not you, then someone you know) were in a situation where you were not classified as an employee but as an independent contractor, temporary worker, or some other type of contingent worker. How was the relationship between the organization and the worker different from an employer-employee relationship? What were the pros and cons for you as a worker? Hypothesize your answer if you do not have first-hand knowledge of a scenario described.
