im not even going to give him the satisfaction of a reply to that, he knows exactly what i mean,
just ignore him
nothing more than a trouble maker, that thrives of arguments and comments to make himself feel superior0 -

I can't link the threads as it would take me forever to go through them but I'm pretty sure that there are some threads wxmlad has advised on the Benefits Board.
I think that there is a difference between using your position to push an argument (although myself, i would class this as a discussion) and trying to justify how hard the staff work with fairly limited resources. The more people (including staff) highlight the problems within Jobcentreplus (allbeit these should be highlighted to the Jobcentre management) there more that people can be persuaded to try and act in regards to contacting management.
I think all wxmlad was trying to do was to say to the OP that he is sorry that the OP felt that the JC staff were unhelpful but that in the 5 minutes signing on time set by the government to it their targets, the staff have to ask these menial questions as unfortunately they don't get in-depth discussion time with the staff apart from a 40 min interview every 3 months.
I think that this could be part of the problem where things are seemimgly going wrong, and wxmlad was only stating out how frustrating it is for both jobseekers and staff. I'm sure wxmlad will correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm sure you're right, unfortunately he cannot constrain himself to this, and has to try to pull me apart for daring to question his experience and clouded views.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
