I saw an interview with Don Felder who mentioned Walsh and TBSchmit were hired as “employees” and not given partnership status that Felder had with the group.

It is correct that Schmit and Walsh were hired as employees rather than partners. Frey and Henley stopped paying Felder, an original member, as a partner also, which is why Felder quit the band. Felder had to sue them to get the money he was owed. (Frey was a major league as**ole and Henley isn't much better.) The Eagles sucked after Felder left. Walsh didn't come anywhere close to filling his shoes.

Agree 100%

Also, “Take it Easy” was written by Jackson Browne although Frey added the “Winslow” verse.
