The $530 Million Wake-Up Call: How Tech’s Contractor Crisis Should Terrify Every CFO

Worker misclassification is no longer just an HR issue—it's a financial time bomb sitting inside your balance sheet. In this high-stakes episode, we explore how companies like Nike uncovered over half a billion dollars in potential misclassification liabilities—and why your organization could be next.
