Very quickly while I am on break, I am on a roll tonight (if there is a way to "do this right." Fine. Let's do that then.)
I think eljefino put it correctly, "My job loves me." They do. Honestly, they are struggling to keep the doors open two days of the week and they are NOT a publicly traded company.. so they get to do what they want with their $. 7 days after I started as a temp, they gave everyone a bonus I think it was about $3000-$4000 I don't know but I heard. I had to be the uneasy comedian and just state.. "Okay this is my 7th day so I already know I'm not getting that."
This job COULD maybe take me to Texas. I have to prove myself. We are in "Show me your worth" mode. But they DO like me.
Again. I was told.. a few small adjustments to my work (believe it or not, nothing to do with a cell phone. We are allowed to budget our time.. Okay moving on) and I WILL be hired.
This is very good news.
Now, one of the tricks in the Corporate Playbook is there is nothing stopping them from hiring you away from the temp agency and then laying you off.
But it seems like this company doesn't roll like that.
The weekend gig.. well we need to wait for them to interview me, that agency already did. The final decision rests with the client.
Company A already told me they could have let me go. Just call
up the agency and say they don't need a temp anymore. Done.
But, as mentioned. Yes they do like me.
I'm in the "Low skill, high ambition" on the square chart.
Low skill, low ambition = motivate to leave the company.
Low skill, high ambition = Work with, to teach skills.
High skill, low ambition= worse than the above.
High skill, high ambition = Me at previous work.
So it's more about what - if anything, really,- happens with the weekend.. and the two days of 12 hour shifts.
Sure is better than.. oh, discussing.. tows.
