From what it says here they'll still use contract work for short term things, but most of these contractors who have functionally already been working full-time will now officially be full-time employees. That's really cool imo.
They treated contractors as second class citizens, being physically segregated, sketchy overtime arrangements, verbal abuse...
And this was, 3? 4? years ago now so it'd be too late for a lot of people who suffered.
And it's not like Epic just got the funds to do this either. So sounds like they might be bleeding the people they treated like undesirables.

Of course this is the internet and someone will likely reply this is false and Epic is actually wonderful.
And I won't say they're lying, but this was from first party retellings of conditions immediately after leaving the place so...
I don't really feel like giving a giant corporation making piles of cash a cookie for being slightly less shitty.
