Will I get hired permanently? (SHORT/LONG SOB STORY)

[New Earth]

Poll question: Will I get hired permanently? (SHORT/LONG SOB STORY)

I mean come on now. I love this place. I love this job. Other than election fraud and VNV Nation, it's all i talk about or think about.

If you missed how it happened - i work for a temp agency and back in July i started working for this company Curtis-Young Corp/The Turbon Group ( http://turbongroup.com)

I loved it. I loved what they did, i loved my job, i loved the people that worked there - i loved it all. The dept. i worked in back then was Quality Control/Quality Process. I did data entry, helped with lab tests, and some other things....i learned all about the products, how to inspect them.....the names of the parts, etc. I was doing so well, learning so much, that this dept. wanted to keep me. They wanted to get rid of this old lady who's been there for years and try to gete me in her position (similar to what i was doing, plus updating records/documents/templates, etc.

Unfortunately for me, the CFO decided to cut some temps to save some money. I got cut. I cried, a lot - on my last day. I almost felt like i was losing a few family members at once. My last day was in the end of October, just when i would have been there long enough for them to hire me permanently through the temp agency :(

Anyway, as months went by, i worked a few more jobs for the temp agency - they were ok, but none of them compared to this company. Even one of them would have been perm, but it didn't work out b/c the owner ended up oweing all this money to state taxes that he couldn't afford to pay me as a full time/perm employee.

Since early January i was unemployed. The temp agency had nothing. I was literally going broke, doing what i could to survive, borrowing money just to get to election fraud/anti-bush protests, etc. I was getting so behind in my bills. I was literally going days without food.

Throughout these months, I always thought about this company that i loved working for, wishing they would call asking me to come back - or hoping my temp agency would call telling me the company needed someone. I used to literally have dreams about going back to this place.

Last week, last wednesday, i went to the diner down the road in desparation, thinking my only option was to go back to waitressing - which i did NOT want to do, but i felt i had no choice. i was literally hitting "rock bottom". I went in, filled out the app, had an interview, etc. The manager told me to call the next day to find out my schedule. So i did - but she asked me to call back later, they were busy - but she would prob. have me come in the next day for training,

After the call, i decided to go try on my old waitressing uniform. IT DIDN'T FIT! of course, cuz i've been sitting on my ass at home for so long - so I was like fuck this. i'm not going. i hate waitressing, i'm NOT doing it again.

That night, i went to bed thinking of Curtis Young Corp, thinking that the next day i would email the HR manager with my resume, and remind her how much i loved working there, and that if there were ANY positions open to please call me.

The next morning, i woke up and my temp agency called - before i could even get to my computer, telling me that Curits Young neeeded a temp. MY jaw literally droppped - and i just gasped and told her i would take ANY position they were looking for. So she sent them an email saying i would like to come back, and they accepted.

This past week was so awesome. I heard "welcome back" everywhere i went. everyone remembers me, and by NAME. it feels so good. i already knew their computer system and how their company worked so it was so easy for them to put me to work with barely any training.

I found on my first day back - that ANOTHER department had been trying to find me - to get a hold of me - to hire me to work in their department!!!! They would have to get approval from the big bosses and CFO, etc for that though.

So, this whole past week i was there - it felt great. when i am there, i think of nothing exccept for what i'm DOING. i heard some conversations - one of them being this one lady i work with talking on the phone, telling *someone* "She loves working for us. And we need her. She really loves working with us". Then later i heard the HR manager say to (possibly, i think) the Operations Director that she just "needs his blessing" for something that she though would only be for two weeks" but is different now. I was only supposed to be there for two weeks.

Are they talking about me? Do you think I will be hired permanently?

IF so , i will post these little guys every day forever :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

1. Permanent, no such animal, but

if you keep working hard, who knows what might happen. You may get to stay. If not, at least you have hope of getting another shot if it happened this time. Wish you all the best.

2. I've been following your story and...

yes, I think you will be hired full-time.

6. I hope to GOD that you are right

as much drama as there is at that place - and of course some of the big bosses can be assholes, the people there are awesome and i love what they do. even if they pay shitty, i am glad to be somewhere where i am happy.

one of the best things i love about that place is that is seems all the people there LOVE what they do. they might bitch once in a while, but they are all still there and a lot of them have been there for years. i love being around other people who ENJOY what the are doing and dont' bitch all day about their job.

3. Not trying to bust your bubble, but I've been there

There was always a reason why they couldn't hire me perm. I worked at the same company for OVER A YEAR as a temp. No sick days, the temp agency paid SOME holidays, but not all of them (not fair - if the company I work for takes a holiday and their employees get paid, then I should get paid too!), no insurance (the agency offered a medical discount plan...I signed up, only to discover that it was costing me more to cover the family than it was worth, so I dropped it.

They transferred me to another division of that company, where nearly the entire office was temp. Everyone was told that there was a hiring freeze, and when that was lifted, we'd be employed full time. Bullshit. The boss was a total bitch, and people were leaving like crazy. I called my agency and requested that they find me another assignment (something I've never done before, but things were really bad), and I was told that I was "no longer a cohesive member of the team" one day, and let go. Funny, I thought I was working 15-20 hours of overtime at month end close every month, busting my ass, and never seeing my kids, but I guess that's not cohesive enough.

4. The company that I was working for as a "temporary worker " ...

just hired me permanently ... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2621639 . I did not think I had gotten the job because 1) I did not report back 2) my interview was weeks ago 3) other people had been working there longer than I have as temporary workers and I thought they would get hired before I did .

So I wish you the greatest luck . But sadly I have to leave the company that I currently work for ( the assignment ends in October ) and these are the nicest people that I have ever met . So Good luck to you !

5. In the end...YES

It sounds like you made a good impression on the right people. Even if this current job "expires" leave your name and number with every manager in the place. If something opens up, you should be in the running.:thumbsup:
