these people consider contractors to be SHIT.Mostly likely because you're occupying a position that could be filled by an in-house employee, and doing so at a lower salary. If the job you have was outsourced (to you), then what's keeping the company from outsourcing theirs?
It seems your problem with low pay goes back to your employer, not ***. The *** employees' problems go back to ***'s willingness to outsource, not you. Everyone is pointing the finger in the wrong direction, and management (on both sides) is laughing at you for taking the heat off of them.
I ran into this at my job years ago. The glaring difference is that I'm an onsite consultant for the product line that the customer uses. I've put it to the complainers very bluntly- they don't have the knowledge level to have my job. Luckily, I've been able to prove this to them on several occasions, and we all have a quite amicable relationship now.
