I’m a welder and I started working for a company through a temp agency. The deal was after 90 days I would be hired on and given benefits. Of course 90 days has passed and I continually had to remind hr and my supervisors to begin the hiring process.

Pretty much title. I’ve done this in the past when I didn’t have access to a computer at home and taken a major step forward. I will warn, that unsupervised access to a computer at an hourly wage job is getting rarer. Make sure you’re 100% okay with losing your current job if you start doing this.

Called my boss before my first shift to clarify my wage. Turns out I was going to earn half what I was supposed to. So I quit and listened to him throw a fit over the phone.
