temp protocal question - so, assuming i'm still here in two weeks (no evidence that i won't be)... and i need to take Aug 12 and 13 off...

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) Jul 27 '10, 07:56

originally i was told 2 to 4 weeks and Aug 12th was after the 4 weeks, so, no problem. now it's not looking that way, and until my industry starts hiring again, i can chill here and pay the rent.

however, these two days are not negotiable. WHEN do i bring it up? And, should i mention it to temp agency first, or here first (i assume temp agency.) but i feel like i should tell the person here myself and not let the temp agency just do the 'official' thing.

is one week about right?

Responses:

tell both and at least a week I would think. -- nm - decline Jul 27, 07:59
I say the earlier, the better. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 07:59 9
- okay, but does that seem presumptuous? -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 08:00 8
  - no, not at all. they'll need to arrange for proper cookie coverage. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 08:07 4
    - i've been promoted, i now log and deposit all cheques (there are 55 separate corporations run from this office.) this takes ages! -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 08:25 2
      - then 2 weeks heads up should be more than okay and not presumptuous at all. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 08:31
      - The solution is obvious. - JaxSean Jul 27, 08:31
    - heh -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 08:07
  - no - znufrii Jul 27, 08:02
  - nah, seems professional. wasn't an issue before, potentially is now. plus they've brought up dates later than that already. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 08:02
  - that you'll still be there? I don't think so. I'd tell the temp agency, then tell them there to give them the heads-up. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 08:01
about a weeks notice I would think be fine... -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 07:58
I'd give two weeks heads up, and mention it to the temp agency first -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 07:57 1
- this -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 07:59
Tell the people you are temping for now. -- nm - lileve Jul 27, 07:57
I was told a few month and here I am three years later. -- nm - lileve Jul 27, 07:57 2
- I was originally here as a last minute cover for a maternity leave. - znufrii Jul 27, 07:58
- oh, that's not happening. i won't let it. -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 07:57
