Don't see several temps lately again, lot call ins an in past, lot quits, walk outs common , with me I had new ones quit, been a temp for over 4years, at pt job, is that what like all over lot places , quit in less 2weeks ? I can think of a dz since last summer that work less half a day or maybe 2 days, that it, not sure what deal is, someone told me a big tax write off for create jobs an didn't care if quit ?

Most ( not all ) guys using temp agencies for employment are there because the have no work ethic and can't keep a permanent job .

Temp, as in temporary worker? Yeah I would assume they don't stay long.

temporary,
adjective

1. Lasting, used, serving, or enjoyed for a limited time.
2. Lasting for a time only; existing or continuing for a limited time; not permanent.

Some just need to work long enough for a couple 40 ouncers and a pack of cigs .

Was generally a common thing when I was a foreman at an old steel shop a few years ago to
see most temps only stay long enough to give them a stipend to not work steady over and over.

Usually not longer than a month or so !

Or they lost interest in the work or how hard the boss may make try to make them work.

Longest I ever had any one stay in the shop was a year, and he might have stayed longer
but the Owner never came through with what he promised the guy so he finally left.

He’s not going to like these responses!



Throwing down the definition of a temporary worker!

Turnover is high many places, no doubt about that. I don't know about write offs if somebody quits right away though. Thought you were moving on to greener pastures from your 2 PT jobs anyway. Have they gotten better?

No big tax write off! It actually costs a lot of time and money to hire someone, most employers want people to stay.

When they know they won’t have the proper caliber of worker, or if they know there will be turnover in a certain position. Those positions usually filled with low skilled workers. They use “temp” agency workers, knowing they will be there temporarily! Then they can call the agency and get another person, and they save money, rather than hiring a full time person and losing money.



Sorry!

I mean yeah, they want people to quit all the time, because they make more money in tax breaks that way, having the business is just a front so they can make money on tax breaks.

They have to know who there hire is going quit , they get charge $70 for time cards an other junk they give u if quit an not return , scam ? I don't get it , how could they afford live ? If I didn't need the money , long gone , at 62, if there, won't be long, dreaded hole in ground

Coonman is pushing the bell curve way over to the right in him as a temp in staying. He is an anomaly in temp workers in keep showing up. Have to give me credit for that!

It could be worse , your temp agency could send you out to the local cemetery to dig your own hole ...

Coonman, have you given any thought on getting a job that you may actually like or can tolerate better? You've got lots to choose from in your area.

I guess temporary is just that-temporary.

They are charging $70 for time cards if they quit and not return? Return what? To work, or the time card?

Sounds like a $70 insurance policy to get people to come to work.

Hope you get to retire and maybe find some happiness Dave.

Keep your head up and keep moving forward.

We have been hiring every reject in the area recently. They took the testing requirements out of the hiring process, and it definitely shows. The new hires just want to sit in a chair and they all come in 30 minutes late. Our newest 24 year old female employee keeps peeing herself. I mean she's leaving puddles in the chairs!

They only need some cash to start a street business coonman.
You know, the illegal kind.

Jiggamitch, What kind of job are you doing? Tester for adult diapers? How is management handling that?

Seriously what do you do and what's it pay?

I work at texas instruments in a clean room facility. I am responsible for the workers in my area. I have to call a hazmat team every time. Upper management won't do anything because it's a possible medical issue.

Where I work, it depends on the age of the employee. If they're under 30, most (not all) don't last a month. 30+ they tend to last a year or more. Quite a few have been there over 10 years.
