Forums Serious Talk Work related rant

So right now I am working through a employment agency. But I am not to happy with them. They already complained I worked one hour longer then they wanted this week. When I just started a cleaning job over at a community center. And the person I'm replacing showed me all things I needed to do. Because of that the first day took longer. They also asked me if I had told her I only had 4 hours (she has 5 hours a day) and if I asked her to show me what to do. Well they asked me to work there next week as well. I told them I could not work on monday. I have a dental appointment. They did not seem to happy (me doesn't care). So they asked me if I could work the other days and I said yes. They told me they would send me an email about next weeks work but they still haven't done so. I get they still have a day but I wonder if they even listened to me not being able work monday. I would not be suprised if they still planned me all week.

In the beginning I also told them if they have cleaning work that starts before 8AM I wouldn't take that job. YET they called me about 4 times for differnt cleaning jobs that started before that. I kept on telling them I wouldn't do them before 8AM.

Ah employment agencies... they think they own your soul just for saying “hey, I need a job, got something?”

I worked for them during college, mostly on weekends. 1 semester, I told them that I couldn’t work on Thursdays and Fridays (because I had class from 8 am till 5 pm and had 1.5 hour traveling time).
Every week they would call to ask if I could work on Thursday and Friday. >.>

Some also pay for travelling costs if you travel more than 10 km to work.
If you have to travel 9.95 km, it sucks for you because they won’t pay.

I also had 1 (tempo team) who I told that I would do a lot, but not with too much meat.
So they wanted to give me a 7-4 job in a meat factory. >.>

Maybe start applying to supermarkets. Stores like Aldi are always hiring.
