How hard is it to be honest
I have been working for temp companies for a while now, frankly I think I am sick of working for them. Often times employees get treated like subhuman workers, and frankly I am not sure they see us as being real people. This morning started off fairly bad, my first telephone call was from one of my supervisors. I don’t have a problem with my temp company, it not their fault their clients would rather lie then be honest and say ” We don’t have enough hours, or the hours she requested” Or lets try, “We do not have enough work for them, because they completed everything” Instead I get told we got feedback.
The feedback ends up being a personality conflict, Personality Conflict. Gee I never thought I had any problems with anyone, instead I thought I got a long great with everyone. I get I am not independent enough, kind of hard to be to independent when I don’t have a computer and don’t know where all there supplies are. I think I would have to ask questions to know where everything is, when they showed me I didn’t asked again. Yes I asked one of the ladies a couple times to print some stickers so that I could continue on working. What did they want me to kick one of them off their computer and find the file, and print them on my own. Give me a break I didn’t even have a computer. I asked to many question, Well they told me they wanted their blinky, thingy for bikes done a certain way. I think I had to ask questions. After what was needed was told to me, I got to it. The only question I asked, ” do you want me to put these back into to big boxes?” I didn’t want to just assume to do that when frankly it would have probably been seen as wrong.
I am not rude to people at work, I get along with just about everyone. When someone seems stressed out or like they need help I offer even if it means I end up staying later then I wanted. I don’t have a problem with staying later if needed. Yes Fridays, I would mind but if I was needed I would probably stay and help until the last possible second. Yes I did tell them I need at least 20 hours a week, and that when they wanted me there I would prefer to be there for atleast a half day. They tried getting me to come in for 1 or 2 hours. This is not good with gas, and frankly I feel going there just to turn a back around in a year would not be wise. Plus it not friendly to their environment which they want to protect so badly by having people take the bus, car pool, walk, or bike to work. You would think with there ideas they be happy to know I wanted to be careful with driving my car back and forth with only being there for like a hour or so. Maybe I am wrong for telling them I prefer a half day, but I also told them if I was needed for a hour or 2 I would do it anyways.
I am so sick of these companies who work with temp companies to fill their position but then turn around and treat their temp workers like crap, and lie about them. What are they gaining by lying about a person. What that person gets that they lied about is in troubles, a harder time getting assignments, and a bad reputation. The company who lies what they get to feel better because they look like they did nothing wrong. Well this company didn’t do anything wrong until they lied. I have no problem with the company, my biggest dislike was that where unorganized. I never called my temp company to complain, about it I just dealt with it.
When there are problems sometimes I do not feel any need to call my company, I just ignore it and work and do my best. This has happened so many times, it upsetting. I do know one thing, if I ever see they are hiring outside of a temp company, I wouldn’t apply there because I do not feel they have a very high integrity.
