Gotta share this B.S. with somebody. Long story
So I'm working with a temp agency. They had a temp-to-hire position assignment at a company for a HR related position. Interviewed, got hired as a temp. Cool. Get there it's 3 other temps (all from the same agency). We start training and learn the position isn't exactly what was advertised, it was moreso of call center position, not happy..but not trippin either, it's a job.
So around the end of the 2nd week we ask the head manager, "Anne" about what the full extent of the training includes, how long it'll be etc, etc. She says "oh I'm not sure, I'll let you know on a week-to-week basis." Sounds like b.s., but yet again, not really trippin. So About 3 weeks into training, one of the other temps finds a document laying on a desk that says "training schedule for temps", reads through it and it details every week of training for the next 10 weeks, with the last 2 weeks being blocked off for a trip to middle of nowhere, Maine. He relays the info the us and we're like "WTH, you must've read this wrong, nobody said anything about going to Maine". We thought dude made a mistake and he didn't even seem to sure of what he read, so nobody really worries about it.
The next day we have a meeting with somebody from the company (let's call him John), the person who works below Anne, but deals more directly with the position we're being trained for. About 5 mins into the meeting he says "....... you'll have to go up to the main call center in Maine for 2-3 weeks at the end of October, for the last part of your training". Everybody goes
, now knowing that the training schedule was right. Then dude proceeds after looking at our faces "...oh..Anne didn't tell you that already!? Oops..well shoot, you didn't hear it from me."
Mind you NOTHING about the possibility of traveling has been mentioned to us by Anne during the interview process or the first 3 weeks of training.
So, 2 of the other temps ask the Anne later that week what would be our full training schedule. Basically, trying to ask her about this so called trip to middle of nowhere Maine, but w/o directly asking her because they weren't trying to snitch on John. Anne again plays the "I'm not sure about the training or how long it'll last, I'll let you know week to week"
Then two of the other full-time employees (without anybody asking) confrim they also had to go up to Maine for training. Yesterday the temp agency calls each of us (temps) to ask us how we felt about the job, and could we see ourselves in it for 2 years plus. I don't know what the other temps said, but I basically informed them there seems to be a lack of communication and transperancy and that doesn't give me a great feeling about everything.
At 7:30 we get off and one of the other employees randomly asks us for our keycards (we've had these keycards since day 1) saying "oh these our the keycards for the whole building, so you can't keep them tonight, but we'll be downstairs to let you in tomorrow morning". At 7:50 the temp agency leaves a message on my phone saying "Hey, (the company) has decided it'd be best if you and them part ways, they're looking for somebody who'll be there long term."
But wait...there's more....not only was I "let go"...I talked to the other 3 temps and ALL of us we're let go. Even the recruiter at the temp agency said "I don't know why they're relieving everybody at once".
So yeah, I'm back on team "We not workin", it's sad grown people who run/manage companies be on bullshh.. like that, but it's part of the game I guess.
