That's the way it works, unfortunately. An employer would never pay you the rate he charges the client. You will need to tell them that you can not do that legally and to speak to the vendor if they wish to extend the contract. If you are serious and a great consultant, go self employed and get the bigger pot, but beware the lawyers.

viking817408yWow - that picture 😂
But on your subject, it's not really your problem, you can't and shouldn't do anything about it.
Let them negotiate, most likely they will agree to a slightly higher rate, not double. Benefits you too, though? Don't you get a percentage of it?
And you can always threaten to resign in spite, if they basically force you out -
Tell the vendor you want more money. Since they do not want to lose on making their easy money, it is likely they would take a lesser cut.

biscuit19098yI'm serious, we'll charge the client 10% less than the other vendor and I'll take a 10% commission.
You make way more, I get a cut for making you way more... -
kunashe19688y@niquepa - dude you're really lucky to find out with only 2 weeks to go.
I would never resign at the same rate with a non-compete clause. Either they get rid of the non-compete or they pay you extra to sign their little bit of paper.
The future you will not forgive you for leaving his balls in the park.

I have been working 9 months as consultant for a company thru a vendor. The contract will finish in two weeks, the company want to continue working with me, I can't be hired directly, should be thru a vendor. The problem is that today I confirmed that this vendor bill the company the double and want me to sign again with them for the same rate, I can't switch to another vendor because there is a non-compete clause. What would you do in my case? I feel like that squirrel
