From my point of view, as I was saying, you are always the outsider. I particularly remember a situation when contractors and temps were excluded from all company functions, no holiday parties, no company get togethers, no company gifts and on and on. Also, there's always a definite divide between the temps and staffers. It may seem petty but after awhile it wears on you; being the outsider is not pleasant.

I can take it when I know I'll be working somewhere else in a few months but I could not take it for years.

Understood, thank you.
