You've been in the strange government contract world for so long, simplest things outside it confuse you. Are you a full-time employee, with an indefinite job contract and paid vacations? Then the answer is yes, and the question is borderline absurd, particularly to someone at Google, where they give away two hot meals a day and assign $5k office chairs. Are you a contractor and get paid 2-3x times more per hour, at the expense of benefits and job 'security'? Then probably no.


Full time employee of the company? Yes, W2 not 1099 (sorry for the confusion)

Job contract? The company hold the contract with the government. Every contract has varying lengths comprised of yearly renewable options.

$5K chairs, right. Citation needed.
