I'm assuming that if you said that you would prefer to remain there on a temporary basis, they'd let you go, right? If I might ask, what do you do? How many agencies are you contracted with at the moment?

Thanks- I appreciate your 2 cents. I think you are right. I know one other co-worker mentioned a crappy raise...now if I just had someplace to go to on Monday I'd tell them to shove it! But I just can't go a day without pay. *Hannah Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* wrote: Here's my two cents: If they take you for granted now, they will never be responsive to your needs. They are going to raise premiums, give stingy raises, and no doubt shitty bonuses if any. Without knowing the PTO (paid time off situation) I wouldn't be surprised of that were stingy as well. When you're hanging out lower on the economic ladder, cash is (generally) the most effective means of showing value to your employees. Arguing differently is a sign of people who fundamentally do not get your concerns and are not interested in them. Don't go for it, t'ain't worth it.
