Not what it's cracked up to be

Yep..not what it's cracked up to be..that's for sure.

Let me lay out some things I learned or heard via the grapevine today at the pits of hell job. First, know this..I'm on a 'temp' standing with the possibility of permanent hire after 90 days.
(key word there..possibility)
Two days ago, I spoke with another temp..she's been there well over 4 months and has not been offered a permanent position yet, she asks her supervisor, the supervisor says go to HR ....HR says go to the supervisor...and back and forth she goes..so she's getting the run around on hire and is still only making 7.50 an hour.

I learned today that they have not hired a 'temp' as a permanent hire for over a year. Not because there aren't any, but they haven't offered them a permanent position. If the temps stays...great, they only make 7.50 an hour or they get 'released' from their temp duty.
I learned today that one temp who came on a year ago finally got hired after she was there 4 months, because someone else quit and she let me know, that's what it takes to get 'on' at this place. This is not a good thing, because everyone I've ever talked to has been there for years and years..and I mean ..years.

(like 12, 17 and 20..I know..I've asked!)

I learned today the team I'm on, doesn't have an openings or positions available. I spoke with the last temp hired..(over a year ago) and she is on that team. They have nine on their team, that's all they have room for. Even if I did 'cut the mustard at this job, there is no position for me.
I learned today that if I get 'hired' on, I'd probably switch teams because the current top paying team doesn't need anyone, so I would not make 'top pay'...my max would probably be about 8.50 an hour.
One supervisor even told me .."Don't ever expect 9.99$ an hour..it'll never happen"...this was not good news for me.
Nor was any of the rest of it for that matter. I didn't like what I was hearing..at all.
I also learned that no one in the plant likes the temps, supposedly, they loose money when they bring in temps. Don't ask me how..I have no idea.
Needless to say, this job is not at all what they made it appear. Lies have been told to me, from the front office and elsewhere. I am not appreciative of this at all.  To top it all off, my supervisor today called me a liar. She did have to come back and apologies, but the fact that she did it made me look at my car with escape in mind during the lunch break. I seriously thought about it..for sure.

Suffice it to say, on Friday I have to meet Dementor at H&R block to do our taxes. Right after that, I'll be heading to job services. ASAP. Oh yeah..ASAP.

On a more pissed off note. I'm so tired of Dementor thinking he knows what's best for me and my stuff. I walked outside tonight in the cold, nearly naked to get something from my car. I get there to discover my car was locked. Did I lock it? No..Did Dementor? well who else? This is two nights in a row that I've had to go to my car for something only to find myself outside nearly naked yanking on the door handle to no avail..having to come back inside to get keys to unlock MY car, that I left UNLOCKED when I got home...GRRRRRRRRRR!

Today..was not a good day.
