I worked here in Aug 2015 for 6 days. I was sent here for a contract position marketed as:
"entry-level system admin, no travel required".
The reality turned out to be:
"desktop support team member, mobile, travel required EVERY day".
I don't currently have an operational vehicle (besides my bike) - you can guess how all this ended. The employment situation was horribly misrepresented to me, and both the staffing agency and the district pointed fingers at the other one, to my face, in telling me "they're responsibie for not providing accurate information". So that wasn't fun to hear. To his credit, the IT director said he went to bat for me as my advocate to try and make things work, and I was paid for the entire day when I was let go before noon on my final day there, so there are good things about the organization. I was paid a decent wage the 6 days I was there, too [was told the position should have lasted a minimum of 2 months, perhaps further...]
I'm just glad I don't have 3+ hrs a day combined commute via bike, light rail, and bus - although I'd gladly do it if I were earning money. read more
