TVSG-- not trying to be rude, but you have a myopic view of employment situations like this. I get from your previous posts that your salary is sub-50k and in a larger city you are looking at a higher cost of living.
There are many jobs out there with folks who make significantly more and who are not paycheck to paycheck--- they can afford to set aside large savings, pay for private healthcare, etc.
Not a slight to you, but the jobs you would possibly (per my reading between the lines of your posts) are probably lower paid temp wages where the person barely has a chance of making ends meet, etc.
Considering his long battle with unemployment and the narrow range of experience he has to offer, he should be grateful for the opportunities available. Instead, nothing is good enough and everything is the employers fault... If he doesn't approve of the compensation, I'm sure someone else will gladly take the job.

This is a temporary position (appox. 6months) working 40 hours a week.
You didn't post the ad. Where is the ad? The company is being up front with the job description. Not all jobs full time jobs offer benefits nor are they all permanent.
Its all about how you look at it. I actually applied to a job for a 1 year contract with no benefits. It paid well though and I wanted the experience. Since there were no benefits, and it was a contract, I figured that eliminated a lot of the competition and I had a better chance of getting the job. When it gets close to the end of the contract, I can use my experience and look for a better job. Or just continue looking for a better job while employed with them and quit.
I saw a job posting today that had this listed at the bottom of the job ad
"THIS A TEMPORARY POSITION WHICH LAST FOR 6 MONTHS AND YOU 40 HOURS A WEEK"
This is beyond slimy because they want to use someone for 6 months and not pay any benefits and once the six months is up then say GOODBYE and then post another ad like that in a couple of months. But this employer knows they can get away with it because so many people are looking for work and is willing to take anything. No company should be advertising a job like this since they can just go through a agency.
Well that means they should deal with a employment agency
Actually it would be better if companies cut out the middle man parasite/pimp agency and hire the temp directly
But yes temp abuse has exploded over the past few years especially with big corporations who like to keep headcount off their balance sheets and not pay market rates, benefits, raises etc. They can label the temps as a simple business expense and get rid of them with one phone call.
I read the first post and thought "What kind of person complains about something soo stupid"....then I looked at the poster. It all made sense.
They trying to get over
