Im currently working as a temp, in order to get my foot in the door. Its difficult to find work as it is, and this is the only way I can pay my bills. I, for one, care about what I do. Its called a strong work ethic. And if you dont care about what you do, theres 50 more temps that are more than willing to take your place. Its just stupid not to try to do a good job. The place where im at only hires through a temp service anyway, and Im looking to get fulltime work.

The reason places hire temps is because its cheap. Say thier regular employees make 15 an hour. They give the temp service 12 an hour for a worker and that worker gets 9 an hour out of it. Its about cost cutting, and like I said before, the temps that fuck around and not do thier work, arent there for long. Theres people where I work now that view the temps as "worthless", and its the most annoying thing ever. I personally work harder than most of thier regular employees, and thats why they keep asking for me specifically whenever they need a worker.
