my brother worked for a fairly well known company (not gonna say who but yourd know em trust me) as a temp, hes been there for 3 months and gets on well with the guy that runs the whole fiasco.
at no point had theye ever showed any sign of unhappyness then they train someone else up (without elling him) and tell him today he wont be there tomrrow and without giving any further information the guy goes home!  he does not even know who, how, what where or why and the ordasity of the bloke he then makes him stay to time!
i mean come on any one else got stories like this?

Was he temping for an agency? If so, the agencies have been known to charge a hefty "introduction fee" for any company that takes on one of their temps. I don't know what it is now, but when I was temping (about 10 years ago) Brook Street charged 18% of the first year's salary.
I temped @ British Rail, and was told I would have been given the job if I weren't a temp, because of this reason.
I was actually given notice that I would be kicked out, but only because I had been asked to train my replacement...
