I don't know what to do about my temporary job?

I'm on the 3rd day of a 6 week temp secretary booking and I hate it! I share the office with 4 others, who talk amongst themselves all day long in their own language and being English, I obviously don't understand. Also, I have to keep asking them to borrow their I.D. swipe badges to enable access to the toilet and kitchen, until my badge "gets sorted out". I don't want to stay here, but worry the agency may turn nasty. What do I do?

Ring the agency up and tell them that you are suited to working their, and that you want somewhere else.

I am sure they will have somewhere else for you, as they have tons of placements there agencys do. I been doing temp jobs for two years now, I have been put in some right dumps!! So I rang the agency up and told them that I am used to working in a nicer environment than the current one.

They sorted me out in no time, if you are a good worker, they should do the same!

Life is too short to be sad.
Good luck!

GET ON WITH THE JOB BUT TELL YOUR AGENCY CASE MANAGER TO KEEP ON LOOKING FOR YOU BECAUSE IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA鈾モ櫏鈾?

i work for an agency and have just gone through exactly the same thing last week. the joy of agency work is.....you tell them youre not happy, they move you. they cant get nasty with you. if the company didnt like you they would soon ring your agency and get rid of you. ring them today. tell them youre unhappy and want them to find you something else asap. good luck

it'l get easier - temp jobs are always tough.
As for them speaking in their own language - maybe have a word with the HR officer about this.

Bring your lunch and some snacks, you won't need in the kitchen.
Bring a porta potty and you won't need in the toilet..
Shoot the other 4.

Hi!

Yeah, life IS too short.

Get on to the Agency right away and get them to move you TODAY!!

Best of luck!

if you're not happy there, you are more to welcome to give the agency a call and to make the switch. However, there is a warning. If it is your first job from that agency, they might not send you on another job. So, I hope it isn't your first job from that agency. I am a temp myself and I couldn't complain about my very first job from Spherion staffing. They sent me to a wherehouse environment (which I wasn't happy there), but I finished the job anyway because money is tight. If I did call my contact person from Spherion staffing, she probably thought of me as a compaliner because she never sent me on any assignment yet. I am still waiting. So, it is best to tough it out and hoping that it is a short term contract. It will be over before you know it.
