I mean, they did remove "don't be evil" from their company principles, so at least they're not hypocrites.
Still, it sounds like google is walking a line with contractors; some roles/work make sense to have contracted out - but ones where they're working FT along regular hires, or managing a team? That's alarming.
I think more light can be shed on contractors in the major tech shops. Obviously google isn't alone in this practice.

Why is this bad? Your comment seems to assume that, and I really wonder why. I'm assuming there is some concerns with firing, but I'm not sure what the big deal is?
