Kelly Services?

former sub My personal story. Started working as a sub for Kelly services. I was already a certified teacher who need extra money.

Anyway, I go out to do a sub job, no problems kids are great, etc. A week later I can not get on the automated system to sign up for jobs. I call Kelly and they tell me they dont need me anymore. I ask them why and the lady says she needs to talk to the manager. I talk to the manager and she tells me that they fired me, because I put the tv on during one of my classes.

First, this never happened. Second, they (Kelly) never told me this, I had to find this out on my own.

So not only was Kelly not professional in telling me any of this, but they simply took what a bunch of kids in a class said to their teacher as gospel, never gave me a chance to respond, etc. I had subbed for them for a while in many different schools and never had a problem to that point.

Bottom line...Kelly sucks for subbing.
