When I first moved back to Alabama, I took a job running 6 different 5 axis CNC machines for a Korean company. They had a policy that forced every new hire to go through a temp hire process and work for at least 3 months before being hired on with the company and receiving benefits and decent pay. There was no way I was going to allow myself to do the same work for less pay and no benefits for 3 entire months or more. So after my first week I told the materials engineer that I would need to leave early on a Friday because I had a job interview. I told him that at 9:30am and by 1pm he offered me a full time position. I was the only person who had ever skirted around the temp hire process and it upset quite a few people. But I knew what I was worth.
