Decided I couldn't wait for a real job because my unemployment was getting ready to run out and accepted a position through a staffing agency. When I applied I thought it was a job at the staffing agency, silly me. Anyway anyone who has worked through an agency knows you pretty much get nothing, no holiday pay, no sick or vacation time....nothing. And this lasts for 6 months if the business even decides to actually hire you. So now my doctor wants me to have surgery which will require a month to heal. And I have to say can't do it. No income because I can't collect unemployment and I have no benefits from the staffing agency. I know the agency makes a pretty penny from renting out my skills. Other than they only think of you as just another warm body there's no reason they couldn't offer their contract workers SOMETHING. So now I get to remain in pain every day because I can't afford to be off. /rant

Find another staffing agency. I was shorted twice in a row on my pay check and even when I told them about it I still never got the correct pay adjusted for the hours that were missing from the amount I actually worked
