    I think in general you are right. But for this particular $32k contract that can’t last longer than a month or two, it wouldn’t take a new person longer than a month or two to catch up or start from scratch. Even if you had to redo the work from scratch every year it’s still significantly cheaper than hiring a permanent staff member.

    I guess what I’m saying is that consultants and contractors are so overused and so regularly a poor choice that it surprises me that they are picking on one of the few situations it makes sense. I can’t believe there isn’t a better example to complain about.
