Fuck, I just lost $50 to a fucking employment agency that I will never get back.

Current position, still no job and $50 down.

Any ideas how to get these pieces of shit back? >

I was going to throw a brick at their window at night but that seems too hardcore...

I have their phone number and adress but no clue how to counter attack these bastards.

Right now thinking about posting their number everywhere on the internet and over the city.

It might be smart to describe how you lost the money?

And it's different between countries what is allowed and what not. Good luck though!

If they did properly screw you over then you should definitely do this. It's what I'd do at least, just be ready to run fast ^^

Basically, I had to pay 50 bucks and they garantee a job I like, and refund the $50 deposit if I don't like it.
They gave me a shit job where I have to do heavy lifting (factory work) and stuff for only minimum wage. I called them and they are basically making up random excuses and shit and how I am not getting my deposit back. Need to get these fuckers back.

Call up and sue them?

Throwing a brick through their window AND putting flyers allover the city warning about how they will scam people would be the best.

Isn't there some kind of government related thing you can go to?

In holland if it was like that and you had it in your contract you could first write them a letter and after that if they don't respond you could maybe go to court with it.

That will cost more than my original $50 in Canada.

And that's why they will ussualy give you the money before it turns out like that.

You need to have some evidence to back your claims up though otherwise you'll just lose.

do you have the skills to do the job that you would like?
If not, then I don't think you can expect them to work miracles. However, if they did say you can get your money back, I would just call them and ask for it back since you werent satisfied with their performance.

Yes, they are completely serious. Because they are fucked just like you, if/when you get caught. We are all in this together.

I don't know where you live, but I had success with Adecco. They found me overnight work in a factory, which was hard work but paid really well. They didn't charge a fee. When the factory went on shutdown for 2 weeks, they found me temporary work in other places during that time.

You have only 2 real options here:
1) Call your employment agency and tell them (calmly and humbly) that if you're going to be doing factory work you would expect better pay. You'd like them to continue looking for a better job for you.
2) Let it go and find a better employment agency. In the end it's only $50.

We haven't really touched on the fact that working in factory for minimum wage isn't really all that bad before you have a degree...

Trying to find new work isn't #1 on my list right now, #1 priority is getting them back somehow. So apparently I should go with the brick? Any less violent ideas?
The reason I am mad is not because they couldn't find me a better job, it is that they promised my deposit back if I don't want to work in whatever they found for me.

That is quite true indeed. How old are you actually mr OP?

And your best bet is to just call them and keep your calm.

There is nothing you can do that isn't illegal. I guess you could inconvenience them by phoning and yelling at them or putting up flyers? We're entering a real cost/benefit dilemma here though...

Yes, you could take them to small claims court for revenge. That would tie up their time and they may just surrender the $50 to you when they get the summons notice. But that's a really stupid idea.

I did, and they hang up everytime I ask for my money. I'm just mad at the stuff they promised me earlier about the deposit, not mad at all at not having a job right now . Kind of my fault too, shouldn't have handed over the cash so fast.

Small claims would cost $100+ just to get my $50 back, that's just stupid.

Let's put it this way, if your girlfriend took all your savings and broke up with you, how would you get her back?

Got a lawyer friend/friend's dad that's a lawyer? Call in a favor and talk to them about it, if they're sympathetic they'll go with you in person to the agency and lawyers usually scare people enough to get $50.

i would suggest shitting in a plastic bag, and putting it in an air vent in their office somewhere that is really hard to get out, or better yet, totally hidden so they can't see it.

thing about shit is that it's really really stinky if left out for a while, and it stinks from a very long distance.

if you can hid it somewhere in the office that nobody knows where it is cause they can't see it, then they have to breath that for a while. HAHAHAHA fuckers.

And indeed your best bet is to just call them and keep your calm.

GL and don't do stupid stuff.


I did, and they hang up everytime I ask for my money. I'm just mad at the stuff they promised me earlier about the deposit, not mad at all at not having a job right now . Kind of my fault too, shouldn't have handed over the cash so fast.

Small claims would cost $100+ just to get my $50 back, that's just stupid.

Let's put it this way, if your girlfriend took all your savings and broke up with you, how would you get her back?


I'd gladly pay 100$ to get my savings because it's alot more then that

And i'd also go with the go in person. Maybe get an older person to accompany you? And remember, if you have to pay $100+ don't they need to do that either? And it would save them more time / money to give you your $50?

Edit: Didn't understand to GF part completely

I would try to just move on, nothing hurts more then someone who says he doesn't care. So i'd just take it to court. Get my money and never speak to her again.

The best thing to do before performing a crime is plan it on an internet forum where your IP and email are logged.

Just stop, you're obviously not going to throw a fucking brick through their window.

If your priority is on revenge rather than getting the job which is what you originally asked them for help with then you don't deserve the 50 dollars back. Eat it and learn from this mistake... this crap happens to all of us.

Basically you walked yourself into this bad situation and now you're trying to blame someone else for something thats your fault. You are also trying to go badass mode by saying your'e gonna be all hardcore sneaking in at night and vandalising them, when in fact you're actually a pussy and probably won't do anything.

Face it dude, you lost 50 bucks, now go get a job and make the money back

Take it as a learning experience. Recruiters that ask for money are useless. Recruiters generally get payed from the employers not employees.

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUU

You had no job.

You couldn't find a job on your own, so you enlisted their help.

They got you a job.

They got you a fucking job.

You had no job, then you had a job, and the job was hard work.


......

"I'm going to throw a brick through their window" No you're not, and you're basically being lame as piss.

And now you say #1 priority isn't to get a new job, it's to get them back... Your super powers are about as useful as aquaman.

They pretty much screwed you over but there are a lot of job opportunities where you don't have to pay money to get a job. Just look around in the newspaper or what not and be proactive instead of worrying about some assholes that tricked you into giving them money.

SERIOUS ADVICE:
it depends on what your end goal is.

if you want a legit way to get back at them and probably get your 50 back, find a competent (free) human rights lawyer. you dont really want to grind the case through, you just want to intimidate them enough to know that they cant just bump you off. they will eventually damage control and pay you back, and with a sharp lawyer, you might even get 4x your $50. you just have to be sure abt your contract and the premises of your nature of employment in the first place. you should know that these mofos thrive on deception.

OR, if you just wnt maximum damage all-in hell be damned revenge, as i gather you do, i suggest:
1. go guerilla, post super negative flyers about them, complete with address, number, url, managers and people you know who work there.
2. DONT do the brick thing, high risk, low reward, certainty of punishment
3. DONT, as a matter of fact, do anything involving you being physically within the vicinity
4. spam their system - while your on down time, why dont you spam their phone lines. ring them all day everyday.
5. gather as much info about people working there as possible. does anybody have a child, credit problems, etc, and use it against them. for example, say the cashier (or someone who had direct responsibility to what happened to you) has an 8 year old kid, call up and pretend to be one of the parents in his/her skul and report a major accident or something. be creative. the idea is to shake them to their core and expose their vulnerabilities.
6. call in utilities and reg flag them: fire alert to fire department, drug report to police, violent incident, emergency, etc. expose them, get to their nerves.
7. know their business partners or suppliers and negative press them, for example order 50 reams of paper on their behalf, COD. or water, ink, whatever.

thats it for now.
let us know about your little adventure, ok. good luck

Big mac combos? you still get those? Dolla drink days + value menu = awesomeness.

I still would feel bad for losing 50 bucks though... I would go the acting route, say that you have a kid, start crying. Yes, try to pull their heartstrings, and have it recorded. If they say no, TO THE INTERNETS (again), but with ammunition.

big mac combo is like 7 bucks after tax
dollar drink + 2 double cheese burgers + smaller fries is like a little over 6?
I would actually pay 1 buck for bigger fries and the big mac suauce on the burgers

what the fuck! I though you lost the 50 bucks because they were network marketeers but when I read the heavy lifting part I was life ROFLSTOMP laughing!

How the hell do you get a job buy paying 50 bucks? I mean well at least at network marketing you get a simple business model and you can refund that shit if it's not working but 50 dollars for heavy lifting stuff? thats really terrible imo!

Exactly.

I've lost hundreds of dollars to a sleazy company and I couldn't do a damn thing about it. Everyone has gone through bullshit like this at some point or another. You've just gotta move on and remember the positives:

1. At least this mistake cost you only $50. People (e.g. myself) often get screwed for a lot more.

2. Now you've learned not to trust what random people or companies say. That's very useful. In the future, you can make sure anything you're promised is promised in clear, non-vague writing. You can also try asking your friends about a company or try Googling them before trusting them: it's not a guarantee that you won't get screwed, but it is a LOT easier than trying to decipher a legal document.

3. You can warn other people about this shady business, like you've done with this topic. Others can learn from your experience, too. People in your area can stay away from that company, and people in general can be more careful with employment companies in general.

If you're unemployed, and uneducated (which I am assuming because of your initial unemployment, method of looking for a job, and the only job they could find for you) then suck it up and work as a laborer in the factory, maybe try and save whatever money you can. Something is better than nothing.

so basically u thought u could get a great job from a temp job agency. did it ever occur to u that if every desperate unemployed person that couldnt get a job through skillz and resume could just pay $50 for a great job, there would be 0 employment agencies and 0 unemployed ppl. a temp job agency finds u temp jobs that other ppl usually don't want like menial labor. what did u expect for them to find u a job as a doctor or lawyer something lol?

also, its $50 wtf? $50 is nothing when ur looking for a job. every morning u sit at ur computer without a job u waste $50. u probably wasted hundreds of $ in value trying writing this blog and trying 2 get back at them.

That's much higher than minimum wage down in the U.S.

Stop complaining and go to work. The agency found you a job. Work five hours and pay it off.

I think when you're in university you have this air of "I'm a ____ student, I should be doing ______ work." I did. Even though my parents told me I'm worthless to anyone and I need to work labour, I didn't believe them in first year. By second and third year I realized I can't really provide any value to anyone, so I just worked factory / bad office temp jobs. Working in a factory for $10.25 seems good to me. I found an $18.50 factory job working overnight through a temp agency, but I don't think that's normal.

I don't know, I guess I feel a little old fashioned, but everyone these days really is in a rush to prove they're the best they can be NOW. They need a new car now, a high-paying job now. I don't think there's anything wrong with working fast food or labour throughout university

Chill has it right. A lot of those successful people (who didn't inheret their money) were at some point burger flippers or cashiers etc.

lol
it is 5 days a week, 8 hours
I'm pretty sure McDonalds and cashiers earn minimum wage (10.25) too but no heavy lifting factory work involved.
The only reason I was super pissed a few hours ago was because they didn't go back on their promise that if I would get my deposit back if I didn't go and hanging up in my face when I mention it. Also the whole time I was polite and apologetic that I wasted their time but since the day I went to their office, they always give you that "we are helping you, I am better than you" attitude.

i think by applying to this type of job agency ur already below mcdonalds workers. because u actually have to go and apply and interview at mcdonalds. with this agency ur just a warm body needed to lift shit, any1 can do that. at mcdonalds u have to speak to customers, do math occasionally, etc. its much harder and more complex. mcdonalds jobs r harder to find than just for $50, i dunno what u were expecting.

OK my bad for expecting better, I had friends who went to agencies before who got jobs as waitresses and stuff. No need to criticize me. I'm not even mad anymore.

Meet them up in person and be a complete bitch to them about, though stay balanced and make sure you don't threaten them physically or anything. But be loud about it and try to make sure other people around them will hear, and keep at it until they give you your damn money back! ^_^

if u find a waiter job from a temp agency, it probably pays less than the factory and is a pretty horrible job anyway. have u ever worked in food service? there r so many horror stories.

Lawl. Minimum wage is $7.50 in New York and you're complaining about $10.25? You know how many people would love to have ANY job? That's like 5 hours of work to get back your 50 bucks...They said they'd get you a job, they got you one. If you decide you don't want it they can't just go out and find you another job and keep going until you're satisfied, You do realize there's paper work and I'm sure tons of other stuff that temp agencies probably have to do before they can get you a job right? 50 dollars was probably used there, they didn't scam you -_-.

Basically, I had to pay 50 bucks and they garantee a job I like, and refund the $50 deposit if I don't like it.
They gave me a shit job where I have to do heavy lifting (factory work) and stuff for only minimum wage. I called them and they are basically making up random excuses and shit and how I am not getting my deposit back. Need to get these fuckers back.


Isn't there some kind of government related thing you can go to?

In holland if it was like that and you had it in your contract you could first write them a letter and after that if they don't respond you could maybe go to court with it.


I don't know, small court claims?
That will cost more than my original $50 in Canada.


I thought you lived in North Korea.

You should update your location to actually be accurate, so people are less confused.

Wouldn't it be better off to just to forget? I mean there are employment agencies that don't even require an up-front fee. (Usually run by the province/city etc. something or the other)

Edit: If your in a University they usually have an employment service, and you can find way better jobs, and careers that are open to students undergrad or w/e. So take a look in that.

Btw, isn't posting flyers, phone numbers etc. like against the law if it deems to get them loss of revenue or something or the other?

I have to second what Manni said. Seriously they got you a job and you didn't man up. Sounds like the real problem here lies between the keyboard and chair....

$10.25 is minimum wage? $7.25 in GA, and any job that offered $10 an hour sounds like a great job to me. If you seriously quit it because the pay wasn't good enough, you sound spoiled to me. Good luck getting another job in the meantime, not that you will if you spend all your time trying to get revenge instead.

Jobs are pretty hard to get, especially in a place where the minimum wage is high relative to other places.

I love how you are bitching about the fact that 10.25 is minimum wage at a factory. The minimum wage here is 7.25. Remember that there are always people out there worse than you.

He made the mistake, he should live with it. The fact of the matter is, he's a low count poster dishing out anger to members because he can't handle the fact he let some of his bad traits go public here. And not being able to handle your mistakes and learn from them is a quality I think employers dislike.
