Question

Help answer this question below.

Temp agencies here hire people 90 days & then let them go & replace them so companies don't have to pay benefits. Would it not be cheaper rather than having to re train every 90 days to pay benefits & keep people who WANT to work?

    No, it's cheaper for them to keep someone hopeful that they will actually get a permanent job with some benefits until the time comes that the temp expects it and then they replace them with a new crew of hopefuls. Great moral practice, don't you think?! A$$holes! I know someone that's basically working for a temp agency now, it's like clockwork; she gets a job, they tell her she'll be permanent for 3 months, sometimes they tell her they can't just yet after the 3 months are up, but will in another 3 months. She stays another 3 months hoping they will and then, boom; they don't need her so the temp agency places her at another job where they do they same thing! It's cheaper for the company! It sucks and it's wrong. I don't know how they live with themselves using people that way!

    no, it's always cheaper to use people than it is to treat them properly.
