Naturally, this is terrible for morale. It's hard to be that cheerful, deeply knowledgeable doorman or cleaner or super when you can't afford your own rent. For the end-users - HOAs, condo boards, tenants' associations - the natural play here would be to cut out the middleman. They could fire the agency and hire the workers direct.

Except they can't. It turns out that the staffing agencies negotiated secret #NoHireAgreements with the buildings.
