看到老貓的回帖，我覺得是我沒有說清楚。重新整理一下。用英文，要找律師的時候可以改一改給他們發過去，要不我可能說不清。
- A- a staffing company in Florida with a branch in Dallas. A has worked with BM office of B in the past.
- B- a small EPC (engineering procurement construction) with several branches in TX and LA. With C, B sends people working onsite and also works on some small projects to make money.
- C- a new L production facility in LA, first of this kind in America. It needs a lot of people at the earlier stage of the operation. It hires hundreds of contractors. C sends hiring information to many agencies, including B and D. After interviewing all the candidates, C will issue the purchase order to the corresponding agency with the candidate C selects.
- D-a staffing company which supplies most contractors to C
- Myself- a design engineer worked for major EPC companies in the past 10 years. I gained experience in designing the L Production Facility while working for two of the major EPC companies. I work directly with C without using any resources from either A or B. I also send some service requests to B and review their deliverables.
While I was working for a small EPC company near my home in April 2018, A found me through LinkedIn and sent me a job description with B at Office BM. At that time, my work was approaching to an end. I agreed with A to present my resume to C through B. B brought me to C for the interview and I got the offer. I signed a contract with A to provide service to B without C involved. Supposedly, I will be a direct-hire with B after 6 months.
After I started working at C site, somebody told me there are no permanent positions at S office with B. This is a temporary job. I will have to go home if C doesn't need me anymore. A and B each have been charging 35% markup on me. What B has been doing is transferring my timesheet to A after I got it signed from C and A will handle the payroll. Because the total budget for this position is fixed, what I got is a direct-hire pay for a temporary job. The other contractors with other staffing companies including one worked for B all got more than 50% more than a real direct-hire position. Furthermore, the guy worked for B gets vacations and 401K contributions from the very beginning. B could have paid A the fee upfront and negotiated a right salary for me as B did for other on-site contractors. Apparently, I have not been treated fairly by B.
I talked to C about the situation and C approved a proposal from D after C did a risk assessment. I guess there is no any agreement between C and B. Meanwhile, I got an offer from a major EPC company near my home. I thought if C didn’t approve the much higher hourly rate, I would rather go home working for the EPC company. Now I plan to stay because of the money and also, I can gain operating experience. There will be more similar facilities built in the near future, while there are not many people with experience in America.
Both A and B will have made sufficient money from me for a total of more than 7 months by the end of 2018. B still relies on C to make money in the future. My guess is A or B will not do anything. Even A wants to sue me, they may not win because of the wrong information A provided to me. The next step is to find an attorney to review the contract and assess the consequences.
最後感謝老貓花時間回帖。
