1. temp jobs are the fast track to being a nonentity in any corporate environment

i've done my time in temp hell.

fuck temp jobs.

[tjwmason]

2. If a person if forced to earn their living from one, then yes

But at a couple of points I've greatly enjoyed the mutual flexibility that they provide.

[applegrove]

4. I like the flexibility too. And the variety.

[graywarrior]

8. I like the idea of it.

But sitting in one place for 8 hours with an HOUR for lunch added on is torture.

[applegrove]

13. Depends what you are doing and who you are doing it with. I keep running into

the same people at temp jobs cause we all work for the same agency. Sometimes it makes for a great group of people and lots of fun.

14. I just started so it's l-o-n-e-l-y

[DS1]

20. anything less than an hour is insulting to me

[ThomCat]

3. I feel bad for anyone who has to work temp jobs.

:(

:hug:

[graywarrior]

5. The security manager at the place I worked today treated me like a was invisible.

Whatever. Fucking asshole.

6. I Feel Your Pain

Try working at a Temp labor place................when you have nothing else to fall back on....
rough.

:hi: :hi: :hi:

7. Oh man, I did that years ago.

Talk about feeling like a lowlife. Those people are ruthless and mean to their "employees".

[conscious evolution]

9. Yep.And permanent jobs are even worse.

Man I am so glad I started my own business.

[graywarrior]

10. Have 3 of my own businesses and I can't get them off the ground.

I'm ready to give the fuck up.

11. Two Words --

(cuss words don't count. do they?)

17. Like when the "real" employees talk around you.

Kinda like when the "cool kids" talk around you :rofl:

[TZ]

12. I agree..right now I am a temp...

but I think I will get hired permanently eventually (even though the contract was originally three months and TODAY was three months) however I am doing a good job so hopefully....but now its I can't do this cause I'm a temp or that cause I am a temp yet I have the same workload as everyone else. Sometimes it feels like temps are lower life forms.....:mad:

15. Like when the "real" employees talk around you.

16. If you feel that way, then I HIGHLY recommend this movie to you!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118866/

Brief plot summary: Four women working as temps in a shitty office with horrible inefficiences and crappy management. The women become friends. Some items start getting stolen in the office and the temps are suspects. The women eventually turn on each other as paranoia takes over.

Watch it, you'll love it. :)

24. Oh, that looks so good!

I'll have to see it, 'coz I've done my time in temp hell! :hi:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

18. yes they do.

I'm officially retired now. Couldn't get temp or permanent work.

Work that you hate sucks bigtime!

Oh and you can call me Doctor, while you're at it!!!!

[graywarrior]

19. Back at it for another 3 days

Kill me now.

[racaulk]

21. Hang in there, graywarrior.

Temping sucks. I've been there and done that and I feel your pain.

:pals:

[Le Taz Hot]

22. Oh, goddes, I've had to do that.

I SOO feel you're pain. But when its the only work you can find . . .

[Jimbo S]

23. Temping may be the last option for my wife.

Unemployment runs out next Wednesday. She doesn't want to do it and I don't want her to do it, but my salary alone won't cover the bills.

I had to go the temp route once as an engineer. Just as humiliating, especially after one has been accoustomed to a certain level of "expectancy".

I can see where they can be beneficial, like when someone just wants to work part time or be semi-retired. But I can't see an adult attempting to live on a temp job.

For some, their #1 issue is the war, or civil rights, or education. For me, it's the quality of work that's out there.
