To be honest? I had to wade through some really worthless workers!
I always found the good ones and did all I could to keep them on my jobs.
The rest? I'd just tell the Company I used to NOT send them back and why.
Several I offered full time employment.
The good ones I'd even slide them extra cash from my pocket knowing the temp companies are really not paying them that well.
And more then once I'd pay them to come in 'off the books' so they got the money. Not the temp company.

I have seen a number of workers left go because " they didn't fit in. " I had objected to their firings but usually, to no avail. The workers " didn't fit in " because they had families and didn't want to go drinking after work and do drugs with the other people already there. I had said their private after work hours are theirs and their families alone. The new hires were labeled anti social.
It was worse if the new worker(s) had a college education as the people already there were afraid of the new people getting ahead of them even if they themselves had a college degree. They consistently undermined the new people coming and lied on them till the new people quit or were fired and then the people who had been there and undermined the new hires complained when they had to put in overtime every weekend.
Throw in the fact that people coming in have a cell phone addiction. They can't go two minutes without playing with their phones. We have policies regarding their phones which they were made aware of when they were hired. I told the new ones, consider that your one and only warning. I told them they were grown ups now and I expected them to act like it and do the work they were hired and being paid to do. When they were caught using their phones and it wasn't a medical emergency, they were out the door and gone.
