I mean, when they keep moving support employees to the hardware team, only hire more support which they denied me from even making it to the second interview because they think I wouldn't be good enough for support despite doing some support work (especially very difficult tickets for devs), I get the feeling they really prefer to not pay me benefits and continue to exploit me. Not to mention the current employees have met the requirements for a promotion but have denied the opportunity for years now, in large part because our shitty manager refused to request more money for their team so they could have promoted their team members, which they could have done and leadership wouldn't have stopped them despite leadership being shitty, too. Another contractor had to work 4 years to get a position after almost quitting, and it seems I may likely break the record. This $200 billion dollar indie joke of a company continues to hire many positions for the other departments, but absolutely screws its IT department over for years and years, and its always been a struggle day one to fight for more IT workers.
This company hired me as a contractor to do some special PowerShell work, but actually just scammed me into doing a full-time role but refuse to hire me and pay me benefits. My workplace is scum.
Same workplace that hired a bunch of people during COVID and immediately fired them without losing its tax benefit.
Where I live, getting an IT job is extremely difficult, and I essentially have given up. I have been applying for years and have only made it really close to getting two good jobs but ultimately denied (now I think I am blacklisted by AI because every time I apply to the same company, even for entry-level positions that pay less than my current salary and I am way overqualified for, I am automatically rejected). Most places would probably be worse and pay much less than my workplace, too. My goal is to save, help my mother find a somewhat stable job or potentially go to college, and quit my job and go back to school for electrical engineering so that I can finally do my passion career and be a useful asset once we have a revolution in this cracker ass, third world nation.
Yeah they're getting a full time salary amount of work out of you for a contractors amount of work. Its just a matter of having a place to go to. In my experienve tech companies basically never give raises. The only way is to jump jobs. But your company is much bigger than any I've worked at.

I wouldn't take that as evidence of blacklisting. Places will absolutely overlook overqualified candidates. Most will assume you're faking your credentials. Others will assume you'll be difficult to work with. They want someone who is slightly under qualified and desperate and therefore both modable and malleable.
