    that was just an extreme example to show my logic. you could however not be perfect in a job. the last thing you would want is a bad adviser finding this out and refering you for a sanction saying you had a bad attitude because they think you didnt try hard enough. obviously it wont happen while still in the job but if the job ends it MAYBE something that could happen.
    the job will only end if you are sacked

    some do have negative attitudes towards people. there is a risk that they would be peeved if the job ended after 5 months and they needed you to last 6 months to get the bonus.


    so what if the role was made redundant? They can't be peeved then can they if that's not your fault. I was in a job once 3 mths and they made me redundant & if I had known the state the company was in before I took the job I would have never accpeted it.

    jobs end when they dont need you anymore. this could happen at anytime. sacked is only the right word to use if you lose the job due to bad behaviour or poor performance.

    if you are made redundant they shouldnt take any action against you and the majority wont. however if they are unscrupulous they may say they must have made you redundant because you werent performing well enough. they would then bring up the info given to them about you struggling with a certain part of the job. honestly a bad adviser would twist things to make you like bad because it suits their agenda.

    what even a year or two in?

    Who is going to give them this info? I think you are a bit paraniod. I know of no company that would ever talk to a 3rd party when they have nothing at all to do with the job!

    the work programme lasts for 2 years. if you get a job during that period they can contact you and your employer. if the job ends within the 2 years then you go straight back to the work programme. paranoid? well yeah a bit but thats because i have known an adviser who would twist things against people. i agree that decent companies would tell providers to get lost. alot wouldnt though.

    i am not at all, the wording i use is if the job ends. you could be weak in a part of a job but that does not mean when the job ends it is due to that weakness. it may just be that they dont need you anymore.

    most people usually tell them when they get the job. some people will have got the job through the work programme. even if you dont tell them it is possible the jobcentre would tell them. anyway when you get refered back they would help you modify your cv to show the recent job and they will find out who you worked for then. they could easily phone them up and ask what you were like.
