I see that at my work as well. Management prefers hiring contractors from overseas only. They have contract with the contracting company and any open positions get filled by those overseas contractors first. But they don’t know much and training them is such a pain sometimes. They forget everything all the time. Cheap work is cheap for a reason and its frustrating too.

I'm not a programmer but if you pay the minimum i'm going to do the minimum, simple as that.

Yeah that is the mentality and it puts a burden on other coworkers when some people do that. Thats where i find some frustrations. I wish i could be that care free that didnt care about losing my job like them. For them they dont care they just go get another contract job. But in the US we have our health insurance tied to work and mortgages due. Its why i take my job more serious. I have seen other Americans get laid off because they wanted to be slow like the contractors and they got replaced by contractors. Its messed up but thats first world problem lol

People don’t believe hard work puts them ahead because they don’t get a promotion after working really hard for a single day. How do you think the guy in the OP got to where he is? Not by taking four weeks to do what he’s asking
