"I've worked for workchain plus a…"

I've worked for workchain plus a million & 1 other agencies in over 30 years of 'working the agencies' starting with Diane at Mayday (Burton) back in 1989! So I think that I am the voice of experience ... Before you slag off an agency, just consider a few things.
(1) agencies must secure staff so they can get the work. The more often that an agency can supply a temp, at very short notice, the more often they will get work offered in advance (holidays, long term sick, increased demand). But every vacancy is subjected to each party over ordering. Its easier to cancel than be honest & risk no cover.
So. You ... the worker .. will tell several agencies you are available. X agency will book you and the client will book the agency to supply ...You. Great. Let's now assume that you are booked from 0500 on Monday .. all week. (Secretly tho', the client wants you from 0630.. for just 1 day)
(2) At 0230, the last trunk rolls in at our clients warehouse and its virtually empty. The client realises he no longer needs you..rings the agency, and cancels you at 0300. Does/Should the agency call you or not?
(3) At 0430, the phone rings again at the agency and its another job ... the agency THEN ring you and apologising profusely tell you there's been a big mistake, could you please go to client B instead? Thank you ..everybody 😊 💓 unwittingly happy.
That's just 1 scenario that's subject to '000s of variables that you never know about ...until it all goes terribly wrong and You lose out.

It's the territory that we as agency workers must accept. You are effectively running your own business and You are the product. Live with that, accept it, and believe me - You WILL get the work.

The reason behind this post?

Workchains reaction to a post in September 2020 where a temp had to have their dog put to sleep? I was so impressed with how Workchain reacted I thought it was worth a mention.

Compassion & Professionalism.

Well done ..... BC of Derby

"Terrible agency"

Terrible agency. They dont pay you what was advertised for the job and they dont communicate with the companys, which means you can turn up to site one day to be told there is no work. Rather than workchain call the day before if they knew what was going on, which they rarely know whats going on

"Workchain Walsall"

Workchain Walsall, avoid, always conveniently on another line when you ring, only communicate by text and WhatsApp, go back on promises, do not want to get you any work if you have odd days free, worst agency to work for, expect you to work overtime for flat rate.
