I was offered a temp-to hire position in August 2010. Office Team told me what the salary was to work as a temp for this particular company and told me what the salary would be if the company hired me as a permanent employee. Well, after 8 months of hard work for little pay, I finally was made a permanent employee last week. I come to find out I was totally deceived and lied to. The job actually pays $5.00 an hour less than what I was told. I would have never taken the job if I hadn't been lied to. It seems as though they had a hard time filling this position in the past and just told me what I wanted to hear. They have done this to other employees who I work with as well.
Had I known that the job would continue to pay such low salary, I would have not wasted 8 months and continued to search for a better opportunity. It has been enormously difficult and stressful to keep up on all of my financial obligations, but I persisted and worked hard, believing that I would be rewarded at the end. Instead I am left feeling deceived and and very angry.
