My recruiting agency has a job posting board on their website. One thing I have noticed is that they have continued to post temp to hire openings for the same government contractor company and same position I was at!!!!! I don't think budgeting is an issue at all.

They have posted during my 2nd and 4th week while I still had the job at the company. Which means while I was still there, my recruiting agency and the company were still looking for people to do my job even though the position was already filled in by me!!!!
This also explains why the two new people came in during my 5th week pretty much learning and doing the tasks I was already doing.

Before thanksgiving again the post for the same company and job I had there is posted. Either they have let go one of the two new people from my 5th week there or are looking for replacement after I was let go.

Starting to think budget was not a problem. My guess is that they evaluated my performance based on a SMALL work sample of only 1 MONTH and found me defective. Made mistakes during weeks 2+3. No mistakes in week 4,5,and 6. I was starting to "get it". In my opinion I should have been given a 2nd or 3rd month and be evaluated in a larger period work sample.

So apparently I should not have been making minor errors in per diem rates and then wasting time fixing them during my first few weeks there at all!?!?

For those who are reading, what do you think is going on? The continued postings for the same job and company when I was still there and after I was let go. Possibility of being evaluated based on just 1 month. I honestly don't believe budget was an issue.

I don't see how that proves that budget isn't the issue. It's much cheaper to constantly rotate temporary workers than to actually hire a full time worker who they'd actually have to give benefits too.

And by "budget", I don't necessarily mean the company is in debt or something, just that they make more profit. And profit > people.
Thanks for this!

Then in my 6th week I was let go, while the two new ones stayed. Why would they let go of me when I was starting to "click" and keep two new ones who were still asking questions and learning the tasks for the exact same job I was doing?

One of the new hires had a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Czech Republic in economics and financial banking. The other had bachelor’s in biology and was taking online classes for master’s in accounting. Both had done some form of budgeting& government contracting job experience.
It's possible the others were being paid less?

Nope not lower, same exact amount. $17 per hour.

During my time 2nd and 4th week there the recruiting agency that got me the job was still posting the same job and company location even though I had filled the job position already. The two new hires most likely applied to those two postings while I was still on the job.

Based on what I was told things were baked up and Project Manager felt we needed more help. The two new hires brought in to help.

Then 5th week I get call my assignment is over. It was suppose to be temp-hire. Recruiter told me I was in good standing my work performance was not an issue. Billing supervisor told me same thing when I asked her.

Before thanksgiving holiday recruiting agency post the same job and company again with $17 per hour.

Billing manager also told me I should try to understand a company’s role and business better so that way I am not trying to “force things to make things work/numbers work/match” and not” over think” too much when preparing spreadsheets. I think she was referring to my 2nd&3rd week struggles. However I had it addressed and fixed.

Perhaps they evaluated me after only 1 month there and the 2+3rd week struggle I had figuring out how they wanted me to do per diem rates was the cause.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
