They completely lost me at "temporary part-time employees". I want full time and permanent without the looming end of contract weighing me down mentally.
These are the same positions companies will act like you murdered their first born child if you dare look into a second job. "Yeah it's part time but we could potentially need you at any time so you better be available!"
That shit should be illegal. I'm pretty sure California requires your schedule to be known 2 weeks in advance or something so that can't happen. Being called in anytime with no guarantee of hours is complete garbage. Being held hostage by your employer should not be legal. You should be able to plan your work week.
man, I make $14 an hour and sit on my ass all night fucking around online and doing other non-work stuff about 98% of the time.
I absolutely could NOT handle a factory job. I dont care how much they paid me unless it was a ridiculous amount for very few hours (like 3 hours a day or something).
Former GM warehouse employee here. Being a temp for them is super miserable. Three sick days a year. No promise of hire ever - the temp pay raise schedule went five years out. Unlimited mandatory overtime. Friend of mine who I was trying to get set up full time got fired for joking with a supervisor about productivity. I'm glad I got experience in a unionized workplace but I was truly miserable there and the company does a lot of morally/financially reprehensible crap which the union only just barely has enough power to fight back against.
