OP we get it, you were rejected from the MBTA and are salty about it.
You do realize that IT positions are very competitive these days, and the T is a public agency with a low budget--and can only offer low salaries. And is currently managed by a governor that likes to privatize things for the sake of privatization.
Yes, a lot of their IT jobs should probably be Full-Time jobs and not endless contractor jobs. But guess what, until we have a Governor that isn't pro-privatizing everything, and a public that accepts that it now costs more every year to run service because transportation has increasingly required more technology, that's what it is.

If you are constantly bringing in new IT people (which will happen if you offer poor benefits), it isn't going to be a surprise that things don't work well.

its almost impossible for government agencies to keep up with the benefits and salary of private tech companies
even with the relative “safety” of working for a government entity, you can make far more in the private sector and government salaries are never going to be able to pay as much

I wasn't even rejected by the MBTA - I pulled out of it and thus rejected the MBTA.
