Precisely the predicament in which I find myself. I had to take a test in knowledge of MS Office to get this job yet I train people who don't have a clue how to use Windows... and get paid the same as me. When someones spreadsheet gets corrupted, they come to me to re-write it. When my co-workers, who are permanent employees, have projects, I get my work and their work, too. And they're paid three times as much as me.
