                It's sometimes difficult to deal with the opposites - being both a business and being part of a 'team' or community in the workplace. We logically know that it's a B2B relationship, that we have a daily rate, if we don't think we're getting enough for what we have to put up with, we moveon.
                We know this logically, but it still smarts when we're put into situations that a permie would find more support in getting it resolved. I think psychologists, or specifically those who deal with transactional analysis, call this 'cognitive dissonance' - where two opposing views fight to be reconciled in your own mind (I want to be treated as a business / I wanted to be treated as a human being). Simply acknowledging this to yourself reduces the stressor. Anyone who says 'suck it up buttercup' has probably already worked out how to do this, for the rest of us, it's something we have to learn*.
