TerryL, there was a time when I went from temp job to temp job. Sometimes I got let go because it’s the nature of temp work sometimes it was because I didn’t show up because I don’t want to pack dollar store items into boxes all day.
I felt a bit like those probationary periods, which were no longer than 3 months back then, were used in order to maintain the temperariness and keep the pay at minimum wage with no benefits.
So there is a very good chance that you didn’t do anything to deserve getting let go from your last temp job.
Both the temp job companies and those who use temp workers profit, and the worker kinda gets shafted :/
I wish you luck on this job, and like HLA said, just do your best, and try to keep scenarios rattling around in your head that have positive outcomes. You will make it past probation, you will get full time employment etc. these are also viable possibilities! But sometimes we focus on the ones that our fears are attached to, our stupid brain is obsessed with negatives :/
Do your best and leave room for optimism
That’s not so much advice as general words of encouragment, you probably have enough people telling you what to do at work
Thanks for this!
TerryL
