Is anyone as frustrated as I am with nearly almost all EA/Admin jobs only being contract or vaguely temp to perm when you have been one for 20+ Years?

Is anyone as frustrated as I am with nearly almost all EA/Admin jobs only being contract or vaguely temp to perm when you have been one for 20+ Years?

I am currently at an allegedly temp to perm job for the past two months with no benefits provided by the agency that placed me for one year and no paid major holidays at all even after a length of time.

So, because I don't know what is going to happen at the place I am at, I was contacted by a different agency that said they only place candidates for perm positions and they do not submit candidates for contract roles.

They set me up for an interview with a company I was interested in. I went, only to find out that the role was temp to perm.

I was shocked, because this was not my impression at all from the agency who sent me there. When I told them, they were shcocked as well and very apologetic because this was news to them. I said well, that is what the hiring managers I met with told me.

I said I am not a full time employee, so if I take an extra long lunch to interview and under the impression that it is full time, I do not get paid for those hours. I need a full time job, benefits, and salary.

The interview went very well, and I am not blaming the agency, but has this type of miscommunication happened with anyone else in the job seeking process?
