Not uncommon to be honest. Seen it loads of times....
Some client managers (not you're manager) like to have a bit of power it seems and make it look like the contractors aren't getting away with it. Current client is really pushing WFH because of lack of space. BUT team I work in the manager has decided that contractors don't get that "perk". Its annoying especially when I do them favours like do on call for TOIL instead of payment because they didnt have enough people. BUT, I guess some of them see you're rate and it annoys them.
Personally, and I know some will disagree, a lot of us work in teams with permies. Same job, same everything except how we're paid. Treating people differently because they are contractors is silly in this case.
Worse one I had was where client had a "contractor" area. Crap end of the office. Not allowed to sit with permies in same team. Bit childish this was.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

but reality given the state of the market now, people would take any contract that comes their way and not be picky about it. Its easy to say if client/pimp don't agree then you don't take the gig but that gig might be your only shot of work for a long timeComment
