|
 |
Since I graduated I work via a temp agency somewhere, a good deal below my capabilities but I don't mind. Since 2.5 months now I'm forced to work 32 hours, it was 40 hours before that. Pay was OK and the people were great, so I thought it was fine. I added 4 hours a week from my vacation hours to get 36 hours. Work's been dying down this last month however, so I looked for a new job. My manager, with whom I have a great relationship, showed me a mail from the temp agency telling him they're hiring new people (I got a raise a while back). Apparently, he wasn't supposed to show me (he said fuck it and did it anyway).
I got a call today from somehwre else, I can start in a week (I have to work a week here first before I can leave). So I go to the temp agency (inhouse), tell the woman I'm leaving. She goes  . "Why would you go, isn't it good here?" I tell her it's great here, but me going below 32 hours is just too much. Then she tells me it's super busy (?), there's a shitload to do (?) and that she can easily give me 40 hours work (???). So I ask her why I'm sitting at home for a day then. She goes "The fuck!? We have enough work!!!" I stand there with a  face. I almost asked "you're the one planning me in bitch. How the fuck can you not know?". I didn't though. So she tells me to think about it in teh weekend (no promises about full work weeks though).
Apparently while I was going back she called my manager (I walked in while he was talking). She told him what the hell he was thinking letting me go. My manager is a great guy, but a very strange one. He actually told her to go fuck herself  Asked her why I wasn't working 40 hours if there's that much work (which there isn't). So a lot of blabla.
I'm now  My manager told me to go, since the temp agency can hardly promise me 40 hours while the workload is this low. I just hope the new place has such great managers.

We should call them what they are. Leaches & Slave traders. I am sorry that you couldn't find anything in your own profession and hope that you'll find something rather soon and that those fucks at the temps go broke.

You are bitching about not working enough hours, pay being good and your coworkers being nice?
F.O

Yeah temp agencies are crap. How many times they called me they had a job for me while I was doing a job for them...
Or other agencies, never heard a peep from them for 2 years and then they suddenly call: We have a job for you! Eventho you've been working more than a year on permanent basis somewhere and then they have the audacity to bitch that you are still in their system

So many people from africa / north africa drowning in the Mediterranean  We humans are greedy fucks.
I guess we are all hypocrites, maybe some more than others, but it doesn't change that much...
