I still find it hard to believe that companies allow so called Temp agencies to find people for them when most of them only have a high school degree and don't understand anything about tech at all, even though they try to act like it. They also keep a database that is usually larger than most of these temp firms, since they are usually shills for larger organizations who control the job market. They decide who is hired and who isn't and they use methods that aren't empirical. They go on gossip and second stories about an employee. Most people aren't where they used to be because of some kind of problem, so one should be very wary of results that come from ex-employers. If they got along so great why aren't they still there? Also, with the resurgence of Institutional ageism among other things, companies conspire among management to make sure that an older worker or any other worker that is not wanted is shown to be deficient in performance or some other metric by manipulation of other aspects of the job. Or they just downright lie, as many of the contractors and their subcontractors that have taken over work for the government do by forming conspiracies to deny older workers or others their employment rights. Most of these workers are supplied by temp agencies and most of the temp companies also do sub-contracting work. Why should the taxpayer have to pay $50 an hour to a temp agency with mainly high school people doing the thinking and then pay an educated person with most likely at least an associate degree and usually more including certifications about $15 to $20 an hour to do the smart work. This is turning upside down efficiency in the marketplace. Why not hire pros to do the work and pay them a good wage as well as benefits instead of paying a bunch of bloodsuckers that don't have many scruples the majority of the wage? Don't even get me going about hiring people from foreign countries to do the work that we can do or the hiring of illegal aliens!
