A very obvious higher up came on this platform to attempt to draw a line between contractors and FTE’s at Sephora. They accused contractors on this platform of posing as FTE employees or being ‘fake’ profiles. It seemed like they were trying to say contractor opinions should not be valued on this platform because there is a separate ‘hiring bar’ for people who are hired FT. This person has now deleted the post, I assume, as another attempt to get rid of evidence and valid points that were raised by not only Sephora employees, but anyone who read the post. I want to reiterate in this new post that it’s absurd to suggest there is any difference between the two classifications (aside from the clear exclusion contractors experience - ie not being allowed to attend any events or getting any perks that FTE’s receive). I have watched people get hired into FTE roles who cannot do their jobs and create problems for everybody. The only reason a person gets hired directly into a FTE position off the street at Sephora is if they know the person who is doing the hiring. To suggest there is a different ‘bar’ for people who are hired directly is frankly ridiculous, incorrect, and insensitive to all of the people who have been contracting at Sephora for years illegally through a loophole. These are the people who undoubtedly work harder than FTE’s because they come into work every day knowing they could be cut at any moment. This post feels aggressive and jumbled to me now that I’ve written it out a second time. It doesn’t make as much sense without the context of the executive’s ridiculous comments. But I felt this was important information that needs to be released on this platform in a place where this higher up cannot delete it.
What the fuck is Sephora?
What do people do at Sephora? Do you create new makeup?
What do you do at Amazon, deliver products to peoples' homes?
@User098, more like we literally create the internet as you know it, since the majority of it (literally around 50%) is hosted on our infrastructure.
Higher ups can't delete posts on Blind, you moron. Also, there is no "hiring bar" for contractors IIRC -- a manager just asks a fucking contractor company for a resource, and then a resource is blindly dumped in their lap...
I thought sephora was a radio station?
This is why Square is so bad... Most people prefer Square Enix.
I think even squarespace is a more popular brand
What’s the message of this post in 1 sentence? What are you trying to prove and why?
It sounds like OP is pissed about how contractors are getting shafted at Sephora by office politics and the "old buddy" system
Yes.
Wow. #PettySerfs 😹
you sound butthurt. no one cares
Probably somebody cares!
Contractors are treated very poorly everywhere eventhough some of them can be better at their jobs than some FTEs; they always have more to prove. The whole thing is just a trick to keep headcount low, has nothing to do with actual merit. My advice, tolerate being a contractor for up to a year, if could not get converted to FTE, leave for another place. It's not worth it if you can't become an FTE, everyday is an insult, it's literally second class, and not allowing people to join events is proof of that.
Contractors are not the same as FTE in almost all companies
This. I don't think contractors even go through any kind of hiring process. Do they even have to do fucking leetcode?
“You don’t think” Sephora contractors go through extensive interviews with multiple people to get a job at Sephora. Like I said, Nobody gets in without contracting, seemingly, unless you know someone high up. Period. The end. I don’t care how it works at cap 1 or your other companies with contracting. I care that some Sephora higher up made an attempt to silence this issue and it’s the number one issue Sephora is facing as everyone leaves because they’re lied to and promised a spot once they’ve proven themselves, and then those spots go to people who’ve been there less than six months (friends) while others wait years and eventually just leave. Sephora loses good talent every day due to this issue.
