With all due respect to janitors, by your logic, janitors are the most essential workers at said company.

In earnest, whom did you actually envision to be "essential" then?

What will probably happen is the company will want to lower the workers salary based on the local market that the IC is operating in. If you aren't trying to wage arb, then you could keep your job, and potentially be happy.

Im not OP. How do you measure level of essential-ness? How soon someone complains about that work not being done? Janitor would be pretty high up there.
