And So It Goes...

Yet another casualty at work. This time, however, it wasn't attendance or work habits. No, this time, he quit because they had been there about six months, and wasn't full time yet. You see, except for the core people who were basically headhunted to start at my work, everyone else (including me) came from temporary contract services. The idea was, if you're there for 6 months or 1,040 working hours (whichever you hit first), you would be eligible for a full-on hire. Since I started at the right time (during the Thanksgiving-Christmas holidays a few years ago), some of us were pulling in twelve hour work days.
Seven days a week.
For almost 4 months.
So, I hired in after only 5 months. But, some people didn't get in for over a full YEAR, so six months is nothing. But, things got heated and out of hand, and so he walked out. But, since he QUIT the job, and wasn't fired or laid-off, the service told him that they couldn't help him; he HAD a job, then left it. How'd *THAT* work out for you...? ___________
