Cons
Well, I was hired as a student worker to assist another employee with their overflow of work. That employee left a few months later. In doing so, I took over their roles and responsibilities, but was still being paid as a student. There had been a mention of interviews being conducted to replace the former employee. In that case, I would still be doing what I was hired on to do—catch the overflow of work and aid in any way possible. In December of 2012, I was pulled into a colleague's cube where the transition of the replacement would be discussed. Then I was asked what day would be good as my last day because I was "only a temporary until they hired someone new." This was all false. I was never hired as a temp, nor was I told that I would no longer have a job. I even emailed the former employee, and she confirmed that I was not hired as a temporary.
