What I do mine is LIES and being told the WP can help you! The JC are a bunch or morons!
So I should lie? Tell them they are helping me and then have them still wonder why I DO NOT HAVE A JOB? Hey after all isnt the WP meant to help you get a job? Hmmmm0 -
Er why wouldn't I?donnajunkie wrote: »obviously once you have decided to tell them the truth then you stand your ground as much as you can.
Hence the email to the WP asking them for tha list of stuff they have asked me to do and what they can do to help me GET A JOB
It's not a hard question you know!0 -
in my case they usually say how's the work programme going? i responds by saying ok. you dont need to go into detail and say they are wonderful. basically do whatever is best for you and if that means fibbing then fib.What I do mine is LIES and being told the WP can help you!

And if you aren't you are a coward and I am not!donnajunkie wrote: »it isnt a case of whether they can face the truth. its a case of are you happy to put up with the consequences.
I will put up with ever they give me and if they give me ANY course to do I will act like an idiot and say I do not understand or can not use the PC
If they treat me like an idiot I will for sure act like one
They can not have me on the WP for ONE YEAR with only 4 appointments and then when I ask for what they have done for me turn the tables
I will get the MP involved and mine is one who is very well known for being agaisnt the WP and has been on the TV talking about it plus I will then get in touch with the guy from CH4 who messaged me here and tell them all about it
IF they couldnt do the work don't BID FOR IT!0 -

So you aren't doing anthing that is pointless now?donnajunkie wrote: »avoiding setting myself up to do a load of pointless crap is not cowardice, its smart.0 -
look if you would rather be sat in your providers office than doing whatever else you would normally do then fine. telling the truth may feel good but it wont have any positive impact and if it results in you being sat in their office for a few hours listening to a bloke telling you to work in mcdonalds then fair enough if thats what you want to be doing.So you aren't doing anthing that is pointless now?0 -

And no I will not work for McDonalds as I am a non meat eater and never go in there let alone would work for them with their dead animals on offer.
You can just not accept they do not like being told the WP is no good (the jc that is). It is my right to tell them that.0
