They were both very shady companies. Suddenly when the work became slow, the temp agency started firing everyone for cause. Even if they had to go back through months of calls to find a mistake. They would look for "any" reason. <br /><br />Also, the temp agency used an "Unemployment Mill" called Barnette Associates out of New York to deny claims. This company had been the subject of numerous lawsuits by different states because they only get paid when they deny a claim so they became known in the legal community for denying ALL claims and hoping the person would lose interest on the appeal. <br /><br />AT&T and Pinnacle Technical Resources owned by Nina Vaca looked the other way during these employment abuses. <br /><br />You can't trust any of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-51929792332687962302009-05-11T12:15:00.000-04:002009-05-11T12:15:00.000-04:00Unemployment is always a topic for controversy, bu...Unemployment is always a topic for controversy, but I will say that it is unfortunate for those who have lost their jobs with no fault of their own and must live off of unreasonable income.

Some come to vent, some come for research, some come because they find it entertaining, perhaps being guilty of schadenfreude. A few come for reasoned discourse about some important economic issues facing our profession, but they likely soon leave when they see that the board is dominated by whiners who far too-often paint a rather unsympathetic picture of themselves, either by displaying a vast ignorance of fundamental economic principles and/or law, or by making racist rants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-45202375553890704522009-01-12T21:44:00.000-05:002009-01-12T21:44:00.000-05:00907A follow up: if you are in doubt about whether ...907<BR/><BR/>A follow up: if you are in doubt about whether this poster is lying, you should think about it this way- why would someone preparing for two permanent job interviews come to a site for temp attorneys?

Not sure why.

There are some jobs. But they want to pay under market rate even compared to a few months ago.
