"Welcome to the company new employee Team Member! Work your ass off with no health insurance or sick days. Next Monday is Martin Luther Terrorist day so you get the day off (with no pay)! If you do good you might get hired and be eligible for a 401K after a year of permanent employment."
It used to be illegal to have a temp (now called team member) for more than a year. So in my youth I would work for a year and get laid off, replaced with another temp. Then they changed the law and made it two years. Two fucking years as a temp.
Well, now they call you a "contractor" and you're on the permanent payroll of one of the thousands of Indian recruiting companies. You have no benefits or anything, and there's no chance you'll ever be hired by the company you're working with.
Honda does that, I've had contacts with temp agencies that crow about having people placed at the research center in Ohio for a decade.
Yeah so they just pushed the limit for how long you can temp to forever, really sad for the younger generation now.
Once I interviewed for a position and the job description didn't match at all! It went from hands on technical repairs to a Admin position! I actually yelled at the shitskin over the phone and still got the job, hilarious in retrospect since I still did the job and eventually moved to the tech position I was supposed to have to begin with. What a clusterfuck.
That sounds like Pajeet and Co. Out of the 500+ contacts I had last summer when i was laid off, 90% of them were Indians with jobs they knew nothing about.
I recently checked the email I use for job searching, it's just full of Indians with junk contract jobs. It has an auto-reply that states that what it is and they won't get any other reply - I still get damn pajeets replying to it like it's a real person.
I had one of those idiot insurance agencies reply also, telling me no problem and to just click the "decline" link in the email. What part of "This is an auto reply, you will receive no further response" do they not understand?
Most of the positions im looking at are actually pretty good about all that but you agree to "be flexible" w 10 hour shifts so 11-12 hours on a bullshit salary
It was a long time ago for me. These were BIG companies, so once it was over it at least looked good on a resume. But damn they were terrible and the permanents were so useless and it was so hard for them to get fired it was practically tenure. Well until the screwups piled up and a mass layoff happens.
After I got my head out of the sand I moved to small companies only. Better work environment, little to no BS or HR faggotry and permanent hire right away.
Sure precovid. Most of them are gone or at least moved outta the northeast
Even places like the post office are working ppl like crazy with no benefits then wonder why no one stays.
The local post office is hiring for carrier, which I always thought was kinda a cool job for a semi-retired guy so I checked it out.
Come to find out you have to use your own car now (they have multiple carriers but only one mailtruck). Stop and start and turn all day long so the kids' beaters don't last long and need new tires like every 5 months, what a shit deal.
That would be terrible. They would probably send you down gravel roads and all sorts of shit so all kinds of parts would need replacement. I think sorters etc still get $17 an hour or something but they will try to work you 60 hours a week with no benefits.
