The
Advantages of Being a Temp
- You're only
lending your soul, not selling it.
- You won't be
there when the fruits of your labor turn
rotten.
- Trying on a
different personality at each new job site.
- You don't have
to continually fork over part of your
paycheck for co-workers' weddings, babies,
birthdays and anniversaries, or children's
school, scouts, athletic, and band fund-raising
efforts.
- No one gives
you clothes emblazoned with the company logo
and then expects you to wear them.
- You can avoid
the internal "war." I once temped
at an office so divided and filled with hate,
one half wouldn't even speak with the other...
it was my job to convey messages between the
enemy camps.
- Your true
Pointy-Haired Boss is usually miles away...and
the "customer" PHB can (often) be
ignored.
- Overtime at
time and a half! Woo-Hoo!
- Eight Words:
"It was like that when I got here."
- You get to hear
the words, "Good job" and, 'Please
stay" frequently.
- When the
company goes out backwards your resume says
you worked for an agency.
- You don't give
a rat's hoohaa what the stock is doing.
- I know my end
date. The directs don't.
- It's like being
the only lemming in the group with a
parachute...
