Here we go again
It seems that the Temping company may think that i'm a little too much to handle!
I guess I am upset about it, I see myself as a bloody hard worker, my co worker phoned me last night to say that she was called in yesterday but there was no word for me.
My meeting with said boss that time must had completly rubbed her up the wrong way, yes I demanded a pay rise other people doing less work than me for a different temping company on the same project were getting $2 more. Her excuse was at least I had a job! Come one be honest, you would be bloody annoyed if you were being paid $2 less thats $80 extra in your back pocket a week!
Well I am still glad I stood my ground and had it out with her that day, I have no regrets at all. I took all that crap from the spa because I didn't open my mouth and this time I did but I may have got just a litte carried away, but bugger it.
There is an e-mail asking me to call the temping company and this is the goodbye and good luck one I know and I think she is dreading having to speak with me. I'm sorry guys but I still have to go out with a bang, I'm going to still give her a talking to. I can't believe she is portrying me as an unemployable for just sticking up for myself.
As an expat I have learn't that I have to stand on my own two feet and get a thicker skin I've said this over and over but it's bloody hard work living here. At the moment I'm thinking it may be the end of the road for this expat life, I feel that at each and every Canadian job no one stands up for what is right. What the hell is wrong with people nowadays!
My list of things to tell this woman are:
I was nothing but hardworking and you shouldn't have employed me if you wanted it any other way, I can't believe that you are portraying me as unmanageable.
I never started the wage war ********** did and spread it around like wild fire, she was the instigator of most of the gossip and falling outs and spread endless amounts of information about people. Of course examples will be given to back up my claim.
Maybe I should have got on with what I was surposed to do and ignore everything that was going on/wrong. The reason I complained was the fact that it was affecting my targets, is that fair? Someone else was stopping me from doing a god job at my own tasks!
I'm not sure if this so called boss is going to listen to me, probably not lets be honest.
I've applied for three other temp companies lets see what happens, i'm just not sure what lies ahead but i'm homesick and miss our British working culture of hard working people. I miss straight talking people, who don't arse about and tell you like it is. It's nothing but endless riddles here, no one wants to know the truth they are too busy with their heads in the clouds or stuck up their own fat arses to even care. I'm sick of the whole networking crap in order to get a job, here. It really is that bad, everywhere not just the office jobs but every single scummy job out here. There is no real interviewing process it's WHO YOU KNOW.
There is something to be said about our beautiful country and culture, we should be proud of it and I now feel that I turned my back on it. Our families miss us dearly, and I feel I've been one big fat selfish bitch for coming here, at what cost emotionally not just myself but everyone. I feel the experience has given me strength to believe that we did do it, we should be proud at what we have achieved. I now beileve that you can do whatever you want in life, the world really is your oyster.
Will I ever stop telling people who have bad principles in working life or personal what I think of them, hell no, no way ........ why? because that's Cassie. She will tell you how it is because that's who I am. If you don't want to know the truth then sorry it bloody sucks, but I strive to be honest to myself and others each and every day. I live my life trying not to have any regrets and this means general conversations where I think damn I wish I would have said that to major decisions in life.
No COUNTRY or PERSON will ever change who I am and who I am meant to be.
