An independent contractor IS employed. They’re employed by themselves. Self-employed. So if you’re doing work for them, you are employed as an independent contractor doing work for them.

I think it’s pretty clear what they mean. Could have just said “you’ll be paid as a contractor and receive the relevant tax forms for your country” tho

mjr@infosec.pub on 02 Dec 2025 12:21 collapse

Yeah, said that, or “you’ll work on this as a contractor” as contracting isn’t classed as being employed by the hirer in some countries. The confused language makes them look like they could give you tax and social security problems, which might deter some good people.

Yep, and this means increased taxes if they hire an American, because Americans have to pay both halves of the employment taxes if they’re self-employed and filing a 1099.

Does it work in other phones than pixel?

I’m loathe to give alphabet more money.

gravitywell@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 2025 17:21 collapse

Any phone that runs android gives alphabet money, just buy a used one.

A few Euros vs 600 is quite a difference.

gravitywell@sh.itjust.works on 04 Dec 2025 12:04 collapse

Used pixels go for under $300. I just got a 6a for $140.

Will it involve coming in contact with the owner of the social media accounts? Because that dude is way too agro.
