NOTHING any temp agency does would surprise me.

I think this particular article (the Feministe one) cropped up on ontd_political: someone who'd actually had dealings with this particular temp agency noted how much they sucked.

ive worked for manpower in the past. they suck BAD.

i have yet to work for a temp agency that DOESNT suck:
(snelling, staffpro USA, kelly team, HCS resources, adecco, aerotek, office team, weststaff & the KPM group -
who gave me the WORST of all the age-ist, racist, sexist,
sizeist bullshit ive ever had to deal with from ANY agency).

they simply dont give a shit about their employees as human beings
& whether they get paid on time (or ever) AND once an assignment
ends, reporting to UI that there is continuing work even when there
isnt so you get no unemployment benefits.

in the nearly 10 yrs ive been temping, i have only received UI TWICE.
& ive been off work for up to 3 months @ a time here & there.

im ranting, arent i?
temping SUCKS but is pretty much the only choice sometimes.

God I hate Adecco with a fiery passion. Accustaff was decent to me. I've never heard anything good about Manpower, but, this is beyond the pale.
