I’m not sure what contract workers with an ending contract would have expected? I’m not fan of Google, but that’s not how contracts work. I’m sure that’s why they hire contractors to begin with.
The issue is, if you want a job in this sort of field, 90% of the time it is contract, with no option or ability to switch over to permanency. I have worked for several years in my current IT job, but I am technically a contractor, and every 6 months, I need to make peace with the fact that I might not have a job for no reason. I definitely do not rock the boat, because even though they’re “not allowed” to fire me if I join a union, they only have to wait till the end of the contract to find another worker bee.
Well, you want a job in IT. If you don’t like contract, use this employed time to find a non-contract IT job.
