EntertainHR: Knives Out: The Mystery of the Independent Contractor 

Many of you are likely familiar with the popular whodunnit movie franchise, Knives Out. The latest film in the series, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, released on November 26, 2025. It is a spectacular mystery filled with action and laughs. It also made me ponder one of the ever-present “mysteries” in the modern workplace, independent contractors. 

The Knives Out franchise revolves around eccentric private investigator Benoit Blanc, portrayed by Daniel Craig, as he investigates seemingly impossible murders.
