New Deal and Flexible New Deal Exposed

I work for the job centre and I wish I was on 20k a year salary. You can knock 5k a year off that figure. Also I only sanction persistent timewasters who miss appointment after appointment or blatantly are not actively seeking work.

I feel your pain.
Also why do they feel the need to use sessions like this. It means that pages (searches and jobs) can’t be saved in a browsers history or bookmarks and they can’t be emailed. Unless the recipient opens it before the session has timed out. And if that happens the recipient is logged in as the first user and can view any of the account details and change the password. Bit of a security hole I think.

I complained about the website and was told to “take a note of the vacancy reference number.” if I wanted to go back to it later.

Hi Wilted. You are not alone in getting exactly the same treatment. These are not places or placements designed to help. They are actually designed to move the goal posts to get people to sign off. They also use lots and lots of threats of sanctions.

They don’t really give a toss about the poor person they are seeing they see you and others like big cash signs. It is deplorable and getitng worse.

My Story

Visually impaired, suffering with depression, other stomache problems as well. I made a stink and got sent to a4e. A4E were useless so I got refered to beacon centre for the blind in wolverhampton. They were understanding at first. The have had their advantahgre west midlands funding withdrawn by the scrapping of these regional quangos and now they are chasing the money,

I told them about my deression and mood swings the general consensus from them was that I am putting up barriers to stop me getting into work. I told them no I wasn’t im depressed and suicidal. They said well you shouldn’t be signing on. your choice to be dole scorunging scum, nobody making you sign on. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT F-OFF. Threats of sanctions
