I think temp agencies, in most instances, however, are a symptom of a sick economy. Most of the manufacturing facilities still standing in my area use (abuse) temp labor. They hire on a group of temps for a 6 month assignment. At the end of 6 months, they let them all go, and bring on another crew (no one goes perm.). At the end of 6 months, they bring back some of the previous crew. Basically they rotate temps every 6 months, so that they have to hire no one perm., give no one a raise, pay no one's healthcare. etc. I worked for a temp agency and several local manufacturers so Im not talking out of my arse here.
Greed is good, tho, right? |

How did you get the temp position, and what did you do to earn the permanent status?

I hired a dude from a temp agency to work as my assistant.
He's been doing a good job thus far. When I get back from my honeymoon I'm going to really be putting him to the test!

|  | Ampeeeeeeg \o/ | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Israel | | Nice! Where I work, most of the temporary works got fired this week. In my area, 9 out of 13 (!!) were fired. I'm in the Lucky-4. 
Now I just need to become a permanent like you to avoid the next firing-spree. heh.
