And even better, contractors often cost VASTLY MORE than an employee because you've got a shit ton of middle man overhead to cover (their HR, their benefits, their managers, etc).
It's darkly funny how much of modern business management is really just knowing how to get the right numbers in front of the right people. I've worked at far too many places that have someone who ONLY looks at payroll and wants to make sure it doesn't go up too much. "Everything else" isn't their concern, so all those projects get bloated with consultants that just fall under project budgets.
