Job Security-I Hope

[tinroofrusted]

You are, in truth, saying it like it is. But you don't know how to advise people. The way you do it is not diplomatic, and doesn't encourage them to take your advice. You come off as judgemental and mean-spirited.
I don't think you really intend to sound the way you come off.
But this is how it is perceived.
I still haven't figured out what your deal is, anyway. You obviously have the world by the tail and don't have any financial problems, so what brought you here?
Are you here just to "slum" and "gloat" and throw your knoweledgable "weight" around?
Because for the life of me I can't figure you out.

Totally great post PinkTiger. I agree wholeheartedly.


Stacy- take this opportunity, and follow the rainbow to the end! I sincerely wish you the best of luck!

OKAY FOLKS - BE NICE!!!!

Lightening - Yes, I agree on the savings things - you never know what the future holds..
You need a nest egg (six months worth) for emergencies, and a next egg for retirement, and a nest egg for vacations... That way you don't use available savings funds up for other things.....

Stacy - Good luck on going permanent on the job. Jobs do feel "more secure" when they are permanent with benefits...

Email today from my boss:

"Staci,

I want to THANK YOU so much for all of your hard work. I really, really appreciate you. "

I'll take this as a good sign.

I sure hope it is, for your sake.........
Be terrible to "work so hard" - then have someone tell you - sorry, temp postion, its time to let you go....

Hope you stay permanent.

Me too-I have no reason to think I won't. (The logical part of me says it makes more sense to keep me than to bring in someone and start all over.) Its nice when people do those little things to let you know that you're appreciated.

Glad to hear the positive news in your job and your savings practice.

StaciMM,

Give us an update on the job position.......let us know how it turns out.... Hope it is in your best interest...

Minny

[StaciMM]

No update yet. They treat me like I'm perm but I'm still doing a temp time sheet...

[Minnymouth]

Maybe your just on probation and just don't know it yet.....

Lets hope so.

Good Luck,

Minny

I have to be here 13 weeks as a temp before they can hire me (otherwise they'll pay a big fee) and today is the end of my 10th week. So technically, I'm not eligible yet-but they have to offer me the job & discuss pay, do paperwork, etc. so I think they should say something soon! I imagine there is pre-hire paperwork, drug test, etc. that needs to be done. (Not that its an issue, but it takes time-right?)

Each week when the manager signs my time sheet, she signs 'continue assignment' at least, LOL. Sometimes we have to be content with what we have even though we want more...

Edited to add: I've been assigned 2 more properties!
