There's never been a better usage for Stop Posting than to quote your posts.

I should post the PMs he sent me about my post above.

The dude needs a ban worse than JLGatsby did.

You're kidding? This idiot PM'd you about this thread?

Send them to the mods if they are bad. He shouldn't be allowed to be abusive to members.

lol... comparing 3 days to 6 months. Smart.

I may be mistaken, but I think you had the first post in there that crapped the thread with your piss poor "let's make fun of everything that I don't post" attitude.

Well Mr. Know-It-All, Accipiter22 and I know each other and my post actually makes sense to him and his problem. If it doesn't to you, then just ignore it, stfu and just leave the thread or post something useful yourself, you know need to open your smartass mouth everytime you see a post by me just to be a hypocritical asshat

There isn't a thing you said in that first post that could be construed as making sense to him and his problem.

Don't be pissed just because someone is calling you on your trolling and e-thuggery.

Like I said before, you have no idea if Accipiter and I were having a private conversation and I posted what I did for comical relief on his part (only for him, aka none of your business, aka stay the ****** out)

Now your post on the other hand, was completly useless, a waste of bandwidth, unnecessary... a grade A thread crap/flamebait reply

If you're that fed-up with my posts, go download that Anti-Gatsby script and block me, see if I give a flying ******, asshole

I don't understand, you say you do contract work, and your job was for 5 months, but they don't have enough work for you? You get paid for 5 months work and only have to do 2 weeks worth, sounds good to me...

You still get paid, don't ya? Don't you have a set contract length?

nope, it was at-will basically....if it extended BEYOND the first few months I would've asked for that, but the first few were supposedly rock solid absolutely safe

Wait, so this wasn't *actually* contract work, you were just an OPS employee?

it was an at-will contract, the language was, that it could be terminated at any point by either party, I don't USUALLY do contracts like that, but they were adament about how much work they had for me, so I over-looked that part

 

[Biggerhammer]

What I meant was that they will soon enough realize that bambina can't do what you can, and no matter how much she wants to work for them, the job still needs to be done. I hope that they call you back then- because with their track record with you they should feel enough shame to give you better terms (and maybe a watertight contract).

 

[montanafan]

I agree with Biggerhammer. If you do a good job now and leave on good terms, you'll be the first person they'll think of when they realize they need some help. I don't know about asking for a 50% raise like someone else suggested, but I think you should be able to tell them that you'd like to come back then, but because of the way things happened before you'd need some specific guarantees in writing this time.

As for giving the owner's daughter a job, I don't see anything wrong with that, except for the way it's impacting the OP. Anyone who owned a business and had a son or daughter that needed a job would do the same thing. Doesn't make it the smartest business decision necessarily though.

That would seem like the logical path to follow.

 

[amdforever2]

What kind of water company is it?

Water as in public utility esque or water as in culligan type store?

 

[Al Neri]

business policy: always get a contract.

bring up nepotism to your employer and act serious (lawyer serious).

so I do contract work...usually things go smoothly..but this is awful:

I just started working 2 weeks ago for this water company. I should be there for about 5 months minimum. about 20% of my job is taking over for this girl on maternity leave, dealing with water metere maintenance...fairly easy stuff, just tedious. The other 80% is long-term projects with excel, and access, it's fairly technical stuff dealing with customer databases and the like. After they hired me, the owner's daughter decided that she wanted to work there this summer while she's on break from college, so they hired her too

The company now doesn't think there's enough work for both of us so today my supervisor says 'yeah, we're going to train her to do the water meter maintenance. We'll try to keep you here till the end of next week if we can'.

Now I understand wanting to give your daughter a job....buuuut: She doesn't know what Access or Excel are! The projects I was going to do, just simply won't get done now...she can do the 20% of my job that deals with the water meters...PLUS in 2 months, the girl I'm helphing to cover for will be out on maternity leave, the daughter of the owner will be back in college, and the only other front end person that's there will be deep into her own pregnancy! So literally all 4 of us could be gone by then. You'd think the owner would have the foresight to think 'well the work will be thin for a month or two, but everyone's leaving in a month, and this guy we just hired is the only person we have qualified to do any of the projects we want'


UUUUUUUUUUUUGH

This is NOT a company you want to work for. In fact, i bet you would wind up doingTHIS if you stayed.

 

[FoBoT]

then why is it called "contract"? did you have a contract? they can just get out anytime? why is it called contract?
