I need some advice.
I have been at my current job since June. Its a small business and I like it here. The problem is that I am still a temp worker. I don't get benefits like health insurance, paid holidays or overtime. This week I am more frustrated than normal because I will be losing a day's pay tomorrow. I also worked a ton of hours last week but I won't be getting overtime pay for that, so its a big number when you total up what I am missing out on.
The owner has said he wants me hired but the CEO makes the calls. The owner bugged the CEO enough that the CEO called me into his office. I was all excited but the CEO said he just wanted to let me know that hiring me was "on his radar". That was a while ago and I haven't bugged anyone since.
But now I am taking on more and more duties. Last week I travelled to help set up some new stores we bought then right after, flew to Omaha to set up a new warehouse out there. Technically IT is not part of my job but since they know that I am capable they asked me to do it. Now this week we are shipping out a ton of inventory to get those new stores stocked so I have been helping out in the warehouse. We set a new record for units shipped yesterday and today I came in 1.5 hours early to help get the rest of the units out.
So what do I do? Do I just be pissed that I am missing out on benefits and money? Do I just accept that things take time? Do I bug people? What do I do?
I know my efforts are noticed since the GM, CEO and owner all personally texted me thanking me for all the work these past couple weeks. I can't cash those texts no matter how hard I try.
Help me fix my attitude please.
