Re: Should we get rid of or reduce Temp Agencies?
Sorry, been an employer almost all my life. I know when an employee has a bad attitude the only thing that will cure that is the door.
You brought a bad attitude to each job and expected, as evidenced by your post here, that the boss somehow owes you something, he doesn't.
If, in your first example, your boss didn't think it was time to offer you a permanent position at that time, that was his right. Maybe he thought you grew a lot as an employee during that next 2 months and felt more secure offering you the job, who knows, but it was not your schedule that was important, but rather his, it was his company.
I hope you have better luck with your employees than your bosses had with you.
By the way, respect is earned, in case you did not know that.
I know???? Imagine not being grateful Massa finally gots around to mees...
what you and the other one seemed to miss was that all of those anecdotes had the underlying theme of respect.
In the first one, I was loved. Continuously praised for my work and demeanor. The front office actually called me asking me back, telling me all is forgiven. I knew I had another FT job lined up already and said thanks but no thanks.
The one where I threatened life and limb and was throwing projectiles were my fault for letting my anger get the better of me. I should have just walked off, but you know, I'm not, nor should anyone else allow employers to behave in that manner.
And the final one, I know, what a crappy attitude I had working 7 days a week pulling doubles happily for over 4 months and not accepting the blatant disrespect of a company who wiped their ass with my hard work but rewarded a Lead's daughter (who didn't put in the time or effort I did) in a most disgustingly blatant display of nepotism.
Sounds to me like you and the other one had one too many run-ins with the paddyrollers and now know your place.
