>    Nearly half of Google workers worldwide are contractors,
>    temps, and vendors (TVCs) and just slightly more than half are
>    full-time employees (FTEs). An internal source, speaking
>    anonymously to The Guardian, just revealed that of about
>    170,000 people who work at Google, 49.95%, are TVCs and 50.05%
>    are FTEs. As The Guardian reported on Dec. 12, a nascent labor
>    movement within the company led to the leak of a rather
>    awkward document, entitled "The ABCs of TVCs," which reveals
>    just how seriously Google takes the employment distinctions.
