Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

I assume you accepted the temp role because you'd rather be there than be wherever you've been at up until now. Take the role you accepted, learn what you can while there, and as the end of your temp period approaches decide whether it's worth it to stay. I imagine with high turnover you'll probably want out eventually, though, so plan for that.

Is there other HR leadership there that you can learn from? Do you have any information about why the turnover is so bad? Are you giving up another role for the temp job?

If you’re not giving up another opportunity, since it’s a temp role it may be worth a try. I’d say not to stop looking for other opportunities, though - if you get there and love it the great, but if not you’ll have other options.

There’s a recruiting supervisor w/ HR experience so maybe. I have notice to my current job that I hate to go back to a team I love. HR turnover is due to impossible to deal with operations managers.

Having come from a dumpster fire....DON'T DO IT. Then again, it is only a temp role...so that gives you an easy exit? You could always test the waters and role into a long term position if the opportunity arose and it felt good? Tough one.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
