I have many years back.

All wireless companies are hell holes, but it's the best hell hole out of all of them.

What position?

Kind of funny that you ask that because I have a little bit of a problem.

See, last week I was offered a position at another Verizon Wireless store through a temp agency as a temporary full-time greeter. I am suppose to start tomorrow but tuesday I received a call from our local VZW store asking if I wanted to come in for a interview for a full-time Customer Sales Rep. So tomorrow, I am going to the interview for the Customer Sales Rep and immediately following that I am going to start my other Verizon job at the other store.

I rather take the Customer Sales Rep (even though I hate working in sales) just because it is actually with Verizon and not a temp agency where I may not be guaranteed a job after 3 months.

You need to be able to multitask and be able to deal with high level of stress. You need to have people skills and be able to deal with unhappy costumers at all times. Sometimes, job gets insanely busy and people have to wait for service like its a freaking doctors office... Be polite and apologize for the wait. You need to be able to work in teams and by your self. If manager is not happy with you, never talk back... even if your manager just hit puberty.

I never worked at Verizon Wireless but I did stay at Holiday Inn last night.

I hope you realize there could be problems if the Full-time position is offered to you by Verizon...

If you've gotten a job through a real "Temp Agency", and you've filled out their paperwork, then you are their employee working a "job" for Verizon . If you abruptly end your employment with the Temp Agency to work for Verizon, they have the right to demand your contract's wages from Verizon, and Verizon would have to find their own person for the job you were offered. It means Verizon will not have an employee for the temp-position, AND possibly owe the Temp Agency money, just to hire you full time. So add your full-time salary to that temp agency's contract, and that's what you are costing Verizon.

Now.. if this was a pure head-hunting agency, that's different... they get paid a fee for finding you. But if it is really a "Temp Agency" that's giving you a 3-month contract... you might have screwed the pooch here.

You should (if you haven't already) discuss this with the person you're interviewing with.

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
