No need to quit until you found something else surely.
Do you have regular meetings with your boss? Can you ask for feedback? Do they have any misgivings about you? Might as well find out, though of course you risk not liking what you hear.
It is good for HR people to do a little menial work - gives them insight into how most of the workforce lives. Watch, listen, learn, move on if something better comes up.

Okay, well, see. The entire reason for the work, the entire job was for training. I literally get paid nothing (2.77 for 5 hours and 1.50 goes for bus passage) to be trained in RH. All I have done can't be put in my resume, can't help me to find a job nor gave me antyhing. I had to fight for the 2.77 because they wanted me to pay for myself because I was an intern.
Yes, I thought the same. A person in RH must know physical labor and I should hold on... but is not a job. I have literally wasted my time doing something that helped me nothing.
Sorry, sorry. It's my bad. It just read it as if I was being a quitter and hurt me.
So coming to the job I got, in a flowery note, that they truly wanted me in RH, that the boss-boss saw that my abilities were being wasted and RH needed a lot of help... but you see, they have this new archives and they need to find a person to work full time to do it. So they told me that I should stay in the post around a week or more until they can find a student or a person with unfinished college to get the post, but that they didn't want to pay the person, just like I'm doing it. They want a free intern or something, it sounded bizarre.
They took around 1 month to hire me. How long do you think they would take to get another person? We are at the end of the semester, no student is available and those who would not take this kind of job unless it was the very last choice. If I had done this thing for my social service I would have failed my class and I'm not exaggerating, I saw something similar happened to a classmate.
So I told them: With all due respect, I have shown that I'm a responsible, hardworking, diligent worker and the first deal was that I would be working one week; then you changed it to one month, then you are telling me that until further notice I would keep doing files until you could find a replacement for full time who would not take salary and I'm sorry, but no. I'm not moving from this point. I can maybe do 3 days in RH and 2 in archives but I must put a line.
My boss comisserated with me and that we would talk to the owner, but he was busy all day and I waited until 2:45, nearly an hour after my turn, but he was never not busy. So he will call me this night to see what he would say about my offer or that he only want me for files and if so, I will go.
I'm sorry if I look like a prepotent douche, but I truly put everything to get my training. I'm making nothing and I have done the work that, according to my coworkers, could have taken two people to do in 2 months and I can't even say I would get a recommendation letter. Nothing I have studied or wanted to work have been done this month and if they are going to keep chaning the deal over and over again.
How can I trust them?
