I worked 2 years on the client site. My old boss left and so this new one came in and is documenting the group's work processes to detect what redundancies are there plus, she can't hire anyone new. My old boss will tell me 1 month in advance if there's no permanent position but this one won't. I don't want to quite after I've worked there 2 years, plus, I want to be able to apply at the company without seeing that I quit before my temp assignment is over. What can I do in the meantime?

in larger companies , you could only work six to nine months maximum. then they would have to hire you or else discontinue your services. there is a risk that having a long term temporary contracter creates an employment obligation.

Why would you quit unless you've been given some indication that your assignment is about to be terminated? You're assuming that the new boss's potential reorganization will put you out of a job, but there's also a chance that they'll get rid of a higher paid person and keep you. Reorganizations and lay-offs are impossible to predict. Your best bet is to talk to the new boss and let her know that you're very interested in staying, however if she's going to end your assignment you'd appreciate as much notice as possible. Also, if your temping through an agency you might want to go ahead and give them a head's up just in case.
Good luck!

I'm a temp and we are only required to work 980 hrs before we would even be considered for a permanent position. My advice to you is to look at your temp agencies handbook. One more thing ALWAYS ALWAYS look for jobs while on a temp assignment. Get your resume out there just don't rely on the company you are working for to hire you permanent or else you maybe waiting for another 1 year.

I'd just bring it up directly with the boss and ask for total truth about the future duration.
Ah, the days of temping: I remember that, and how I'd get into the swing of a certain task and then, whammo, assignment over! Nice knowing you!

Why don't you just ask? Half of your question doesn't make sense. 2 years as a temp?? No benefits? I don't understand the loyalty to that.

You have every right to ask your supervisor and the HR department if you will ever be hired in permanently. If they say "no," move on.

go step up and ask him/her..."is there anything u want me to do?" tell him bluntly but with respect... it sure is hard and quite stressful doing nothing... tell him/her that u've finished doing ur work, if theres anything that he needs held of ask ur co-workers if they need assistance with their work...
