They're all the same imo

promises promises, liars, etc

Nice to you when you're working for them cos they're earning nearly the same an hour too, and agressive to you when you're not working for them, as that hourly rate stops

The promises thing is the most infuriating aspect, especially if you get sent on 2 week jobs outside your preferred positions, only to find after two weeks that they want you to stay there another week, then another, then another

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
