I believe he doesn't have any disdain for me (except may be for my skills). He had a meeting with the company's security council, and told me the decision afterwards. I think he just heard this line regarding trust from the council meeting. Not sure why he chose to tell me that. I would like to think he was just saying that to convey the mindset of the council people.
Ah that makes sense. I didn't necessarily think he held personal disdain, just I've noticed beyond this situation the way some people seem to treat outsourced workers worse or in a disrespectful way.
