I was supposed to start a new job this morning.
A temporary job delivering utility bills while the post office is going through their labour disruptions.
I know I would be a scab but the money seemed OK & all the walking would be good for me.
Anyway I showed up for at the Horizon building on John St. this morning at 8:15 (15 minutes earlier than requested), signed in with security & waited around with 2 other guys.
After awhile one of the other guys talked to one of the security guards (really big mean looking guys by the way - does Horizon have that kind of security issues ??). He was informed that the appropriate person had been informed of our presence & "he would wander down whenever he wanders down".
At 9:10 I left.
Maybe I have the wrong attitude for this type of employment but I figure when an employer starts out with no respect for their employees, things are only going to go downhill from there.

Absolutely. I would have left too.
Couldn't agree more.
Their loss!
WWMN
I think employers think that people who do these types of temp jobs are a dime a dozen & unfortunalely some employers treat them that way.
All it would have taken to keep me there was one quick call to security to let us know he was tied up.
You should send them a link to this post. :) Seriously!
