Oui.
Placement fee is 20% of starting salary.
If the job is not a good fit (I get fired or quit), they still want the manies.
Sometimes, the employer will reimburse you, but since it was not in the hiring contract that they would...I courteously declined.

Over here people also tend to pay to get jobs, but it's illegal. US is a bit weird..

I said **** no.
I've since taken a job through the temp agency.
I work for Mars (the candy people), at a plant that makes Wrigley's gum...all flavors.
It is low paying and tons of manual labor.
I work 3rd shift (10pm to 6:30 am).
It's killing me slowly.

Is this a joke? It has to be a joke. Everything about this post sounds like a joke.

Free gum. I don't chew gum. My young one is excited about free gum.

You're so magnanimous!
American treats made in other countries are not as good, imo.
Foreign candy can be delicious, but a foreign Reese cup or Crunch bar?
Nope.

I like the overnight shift.
Lots of freaks. Not all of them are the good kind, tho.
I don't care for manual labor.
Me working in a gum factory is like a Baptist working in a whiskey factory.

This overnight shift has me out of synch with the family.
They're ready for bed, and I should be awake overnight, or I'm gonna have a bad time tomorrow night.
What to do?
I slept from 10 this morning till 7 tonight.
And my body is screaming from all this manual labor.

I'm looking.
Thought it might be an introduction to another position. LOL...after "a couple years".
I was happily retired 2 weeks ago.

On the bright side, when I get off in a couple hours, I'm done until Monday night.
Ditto next week.

You should be out in a lil tinnie boat, holding a rod and throwing back a few coldies. Reminiscing about the time Kelly Taylor let you touch her boobies under the bleachers in middle school.
