I am currently working through a placement firm and they placed me in this "so called" job. I have basically told them I would like to be moved and so they have devised an exit plan for me to leave in three weeks. But I can tell the boss wants me gone.
Should I sit and wait and pussyfoot for the placement company to find me another job, or should I just leave this place and go find something on my own?
The company paid a fee for me to come here, but I did not sign anything that says I have to stay here for a period of time. They simply offer a 90 day guarantee to replace me if in fact I do leave.
I feel as though if I work out the three weeks, I am going to go into such a case of the "black ***" that I will take this to my next job. What do you think?
Thanks

I would deal with it through the placement company and tell them the whole story. If you cannot stay for the whole term, tell the placement company exactly when you must leave by. Remember if you intend on subscribing to the placement company's services again it would be wise to leave them in the loop. If you don't intend or their help ever again, jump ship. I have always at least left a possibility of returning to the placement company since you never know what the future is holding.

If you leave without waiting for the placement company to move you, then you risk the relationship with the placement co. Tehy may not ever place you again. If you want to go out on your own or try a different company that is ok, but the first may 'blackball' you. While they can't say anything derogatory about you legally, they have ways of getting their point across using HR language.
Just something to think about

You don't want to burn both bridges; nor do you want to be known as a runner.
No matter where you work, there's always going to be something.
So best to stick this out, have a peace of mind knowing that you are not at this job forever, and grateful that you still have something, and that no one has fired you.
Stick it out! Start whistling when you come in there, and put a whole new tune and attitude in your mind.... and that way you wont be taking any negativity with you, start being positive now!

I agree with your first answeree..you have a responsibility as an adult to give them the time to finish and then you can ask them for a good reference to add to your resume. On your own time, check out places of interest and update your info. Tell your trusted family members and friends what you are interested in and looking for and see if they can help with sites or ideas. It is always wiser for your peace of mind and your resume that you leave each job cleanly and no regrets. Good luck!

You can always search for another job on your own time, but in the meantime let the company do its work so you still have a paycheck coming in.
