Cynical and sin-stained
Is there such a thing as being too efficient?
For three days now, I've had virtually no work. I've had several people come up to me and tell me what an excellent job I've been doing, which isn't exactly difficult, seeing as how I have nothing to do.

I know they only hired me on as a temp clerk, but I'm a bit worried that I was too efficient in the beginning, cleared out all the backlog they expected to take four months, and now I'm ********. I've been here exactly one month...

    It's kinda scary isn't it. I did temp work for a while, and I couldn't get past the fact that in order to keep the job you actually have to take your time. Who wants to do that? It's okay if you work for an agency because you earn a name as someone to put in for these rush jobs... but when you find temp work on your own it can mean less lenghy employment. But, when you wow 'em like that, they often decide to keep you on. I hope they see your value and decide to let you stay as long as you'd like.

    Erf, yeah, what Anathema Device said. One apparently gets penalized for being really good at the job. Hopefully, yeah, your efficiency will have been noticed by influential people in the mood to reward your effort accordingly.

    You are never to effiecient. smile Also, take any form of promotion you get, even if it does not have a pay raise.

    Hmm... good luck with that. I would imagine, though, that it is more positive than negative in outcomes.

    I'm starting to re-think the "temp to hire only" option I chose. Nothing is panning out over here in Indy. crying
