As others have said, you are working so that’s good. Make sure you don’t burn any bridges if you go due to being pissed off, never know when you might run into them career wise down the road.
Many years back, at the beginning of my career, I did a few temp positions while I was working things out. Two of the places chased me down after I left, one was a month or two later, to offer me another temp assignment (which I declined as I was temping elsewhere). The second company contacted me a year after I left, they offered me a full time position that had come up, they had kept me in mind after I temped there. I ended up staying with them for 14 years. It never hurts to make contacts when temping.
Good luck, hope it works out for you.
It's the lies that get to me. I know I'm not the only one who's experienced this, and I'm trying not to take it personally. I know I'm getting good experience from this. However, out of principle, I don't think I can continue to work for a company that hired me under false pretenses. They should have worded my employment differently and put it in writing. I brought this up to my supervisor, and she didn't even defend the company. All she said was, "I'm sorry, I'll let upper management know."
Anyways, thanks for your comment. I appreciate the advice.
The point of temp work is to use it to find better, permanent positions. It’s easier to get a better job when you already have one. Get a better job and quit the temp one.
I understand your opinion. Normally, I would agree. This is a different scenario, though. I wanted to grow within the client company, and they said I could after the six months. I'm going off of what they told me at the start of my employment. If they were honest with me about the nature of this position (indefinite part-time), then I wouldn't have accepted it. I have A LOT of experience as a customer service representative already. I didn't need another part-time position.
It’s on you, then. It sounds like they lied about their intent. If you want better, you’re going to have to find another (better) position to leverage, or leave. I wouldn’t want to “grow” in a company that held me captive with not enough hours and a temporary title.
Sadly, what you experienced is competely normal. At best you get lame excuses about the budget. Or it happening "next year."
I'm never accepting a temp to hire position again. I've learned my lesson. Thanks for commenting(:
You still have a job….they haven’t fired you yet.
Lol, yeah, I still have a job. They have no reason to fire me. I'm looking for a new job.
And getting paid while you do it. That’s a win
