work placement or work slavement ?

I had to do this for TWO weeks and I didn't get the job. I didn't even get a 'thanks for your time' or anything. I was really not happy about it. I didn't even get lunch breaks or anything, yet because I wasnt classed as an employee apparently nothing could be done. If I was you, I wouldn't take it.

She knew from day 1 what the "job" consisted of. If she didn't like it then why did she do it?

Seeing as the spelling is in the same style throughout the 8 pages of this thread then I hardly think tiredness can be used.

Take a chill pill.

You working Steve? It's your tax paying her benefits.

Yes I am working. I'm also looking for another job as mine is being moved 60 miles away. Looking on Direct.gov.uk jobsite there are loads of jobs available.

Cindy is not on benefits. She worked for no pay nor any benefits.
If you bothered to read her post you would have seen that she is not claiming benefits. She lives with her partner who is working and is not eligible for JSA.
Hope that clarifies things.

Although if she said the following to the employer or the Job Centre:

Then it's no surprise she didn't get offered the job.

so its tescos who are slave labour....fancy making people work for nothing
maybe if they got paid -steve 1980 you would not have to pay her benifits...
its funny how people accept this?

There are loads of jobs in London, pick the phone up and call supermarkets rather than waiting for something to come up in the Job Centre
