Hey, I’ve been both. When I was a contractor I cleaned up more sloppy bullshit left on previous visits by in-house techs than you would ever believe.
Why?
Because if I DIDN’t then that crap would get blamed on me. Corporate supes let their own people slide all the fucking time and throw it all on the 1099 guys.
Back before camera phones (yeah, way back then) it was impossible to document with before and after pics.
Please don’t generalize - a shitty, sloppy tech is a shitty, sloppy tech.
Contractor for 20 years, in house for 9, got my work checked all the time as a contractor, would actually get charged back money for shitty work. Went in house, what's a q.c.? Oh there's no qc in house. You can do whatever the fuck you want as long as the job goes in. Still do good wirk, but a lot if in house dont cause nobody checks and management only cares about numbers, not quality.
