Ridiculous Offer

Q-Tee,

No offence taken in relation to the "ridiculous offer" comment. When I say that it is a ridiculous offer (contract 10 months) I am referring to the fact that these people have been told that after 10 months there is NO chance they will have a job. How can one justify offering someone this and saying but after 10 months you will have to leave?

I agree that if you dont like the conditions dont apply, but dont forget these people on the waitlist applied thinking it was permanent, there was NO talk of a 10 month contract. Contracts have become a large part of the workforce. In government service much of the work is contract work, however they advertise this and make it clear from application stage, not throw it on you at the end, and even worse give you a 1 week notice to start.

In summary I still think it is a ridiculous offer, however that's just my opinion, and respect peoples may differ!

Cheers
