for years but for whatever reason people are just now coming forth to talk about IC status? Shades of Bill Cosby. This is nothing new and why people now have decided to discuss it is beyond me. As far as prices, I started with the company I work for about 10 years ago with the same price then as I have now. I think the prices have stayed about the same over the years. I would suggest, as I have before, if people are not satisfied, they are the one who can change their life. If I was so upset about my status, wages, etc. I would find another job.
