While working for another company, I was looking for a way to improve my situation. When Insight called me, the FIRST question I asked was if the position were full-time and permanent. I was assured that yes, 40+ hours per week. Permanent. Had they indicated anything less, i would not have continued the interview. I was not going to leave a permanent (albeit awful) job for a temporary one under ANY circumstances. I was promised a competitive salary, and a bonus at the completion of my first project. They gave me a start date, I quit my old job, and then they put the job on hold for 2 months. The job was enjoyable enough, but the pay was 25% less than I'd been promised. They said it would be made up in the way of a bonus at the end of the project, along with a raise. The project ended, and so did my employment. No raise, no bonus, no permanent job. Just before Christmas, too. (I know the termination was NOT performance based, the head of the company which was the end customer called me and praised my work)
