I think Lauren is confusing "independence" as it applies
to 1099 contractors (the ability to choose projects, work
methods, place of work) with "independent judgement"
as it applies to professional employees (analyzing
situations, comparing and evaluating possible courses
of action and implementing them within the scope of
assigned projects with minimal or no direction or
supervision).
