What suggestions do you have for management?

"A lot of people (FTEs) do not have enough work and are perhaps not very serious about their work just because they are FTEs. Nike spends a lot of money on them and they just come to the office, read and send a few emails, chit chat, go for running, and go home. Whereas they expect the contractor to be 100% PERFECT. Many of the FTEs are not competent to the ETWs, but nothing can be done, I guess. Change is what all of us are looking for. JUST DO IT."
