I work as a contractor and am managing a small team. I easily do the work at least two people in my team, in addition to managing ("babysitting") the team. While my pay is not 5 times their pay, it is most certainly higher than theirs. But my most attractive trait is not that I work harder, it is that they can fire me at any point, without giving any reason or any notice. On top of it, they don't have to deal with any personnel issues - if I misbehave, they'd just fire me on the spot or complain to the agency and let me be their problem. No matter how hard I work, I rarely get a word of appreciation. They also don't have to do performance reviews, "rankings", pay discussions etc. Yes, it all comes at a higher cost, but it also removes all the pesky things that nobody wants to deal with. Think of it like hiring a plumber even though the plumbing issue is small enough for you to fix yourself. You just don't want to do it
