Comments:
The jobs that they sent me on over the years were okay. Many times I
could play on the internet. But, lately there's a BIG problem: The
company has merged with Suzanne Davis, moved to Third Avenue, and the
placement counselors that I've known for years no longer work there!!!
As a result, I am a stranger at the very agency that I've been working
at for years!!! For years the drill was this: I call and tell Cindy
or Joan that I'm available for work and then they give me work the
NEXT DAY!!! But now, I've not had work from them for OVER THREE
WEEKS!!! I keep calling, but this new guy doesn't know me. Maybe
he's giving special attention to his own clients and dissing the
clients of Joan and Cindy? I don't know. I just know that there's
been a lot of shakeups at the place and that I"m out of work. If they
don't get me work by Monday, I'm filing unemployement. I've
registered with another agency and sent my resume to three others as
well. I am very bitter about being treated like this.
