Orange Badge Culture At Microsoft

coolball writes "For those of us that have worked as a contractor (a-dash or orange badge or whatever), Seattle PI's 'Microsoft's 'orange badge' culture gets forum' article caught my eye this morning. He talks about OrangeBadges.com and Contractor's International Network, two forums that have sprung up as a meeting place (cyber & meat) for current/past/future contractors of the empire. If you have been a Microsoftee, then you would laugh out loud in recognition some of the tales he relates."

"but they complain about paying $30/month for a lifesaving drug!"

Uh you don't know what your talking about. Its not "geez why do I have to pay this $30 a month!"

Its "the drugs that will help you cost $350 a month and are not covered by your plan. You can either pay for the drugs or eat. Decide." You know all those people complaining about how much drugs costs these days? Well they're sure as heck not complaining about a mere $30 a month copay.
