I was a temp worker for a number of years. It wasn't about 'variety' I assure you, it was more about getting a foot in a door and find a permanent job.

I think all workers are held in such disdain. Upper Management looks to Middle Management with loathing. (Thisis the best we have?) and Middle Management, in turn, holds the rest of us peons in contempt.

Today's motivation in hiring seems to be the excessive amount of workers out there to fill any one vacancy. Hire Idiot #1 till he screws up, which he's bound to do, then hire Idiot #2....repeat.

I know when I was management in fast food, God, that was terrible, the idea was any idiot can fry a burger. Don't worry about keeping them happy or content, there are 30 more applicants on my desk from today alone.....
