Episode 43 | Every Job Is a Temp Job

Question

Hey Work Wives. This is Marisa from Miami. I've been applying for jobs and I got an offer that's temporary for 90 days. Is that a red flag?

Summary

Temporary? Temp-to-perm? Probationary? If you’re considering a new job that’s described this way, you have questions to ask.

But it also behooves you to take a step back and remember that corporate America doesn’t care about you, your company will lay you off in an instant, and that you should always have an exit strategy.

So let corporate America do whatever the fuck it wants. If you're prepared to treat every job as a temp job, you're going to win.
