This is because the laws make it so hard to get rid of deadbeats. If an employer says your fired then he can expect lawsuits. If he just calls up the temp agency and says don't send that person anymore then the problem is solved. The law is now written to protect the deadbeats and users of society. It does not protect the honest and decent people. The same thing goes for rental property. The landlord has no rights against even the most vile and delinquent tenants.

i would agree with everything you said. i once was a rental property owner (gulp!) however, in addition, companies are now exclusively hiring temps as replacements for permanent workers. i believe we will shortly be a nation of permatemps with no benefits etc. which is actually better than having the jobs go overseas.

having said that, IF the company is really going to hire you temp to perm and you do an outstanding job in a period of say 6-18 mos, then i think hiring you permanently at that point would be good. usually though, companies have no intention of hiring you permanently, kinda like a "fiancee" that has no intention of marrying you. they just say you could be hired permanently to string you along and get the best performance out of you for as long as possible.

Yeah! Employers shouldn't have to put up with workers who expect any loyality. And workers shouldn't get health insurance; that's just a drain on profits! And take away that extra lump of coal; those lazy good-for-nothing cogs don't need it!
sarcasm off.
