Not the OP - but I expect (sm)

to be treated as a small business as I am in independent contractor. There is a slow down due to COVID-19. I have applied to other places and they said they are on a hiring freeze right now.

Yes, I agree, MT is a gig. You just never know when the work will run out due to over hiring or the contractor (MTSO) losing the account to another MTSO or being sent overseas.

Yes, we are forgotten. We have been misclassified for a very long time. We are expected to work for what they pay, we cannot name our price. We are also expected to work during certain hours, and we are also expected to use their equipment (platform) on a continual basis. They get away with not paying taxes or benefits and also not providing work.
