The Work Programme New Thread

never be late you're playing into their hands if you are late. it may not work for you but one thing i have done in the past at places where i sign in is to always put that i was on time even if i was a bit late. for example start at 9am arrive at 9.04am but i would still write 9am. i often see people look at the clock when they sign in to put the exact right time. i think why bother. so long as you are signed in and the time you put doesnt get you into trouble then it doesnt matter if its exactly correct.

im not talking about the work programme bud, im talking about daily sighning at jobcentre. everyday they ask, how it goin then? such a stupid question, also it was 4 minutes lol, hardly late.

at the jobcentre they just tick next to youre name, i think they also let them know you are there, wich is why i think they are quick to go and see if you are there so they can put failure to attent, but if they know im there they keep me waiting, i think some of them get of on the power, like they think they are as important as doctors, keeping people waiting for them

well youll never guess the cheek of her today, i had an appointment at 9.20am my bus was late, they know i rely on buses, i was 4 minutes late got in and said said she wrote me down for failure to attend, the day before she kept me waiting 16 minutes. couldnt belive it, she still seen me but i really wanted to say something but didnt.

ive also noticed something else, when i go in and let the person at the front know im here, they like to keep me waiting but if i just go in dont let them check my name of, in other words just turn up and look at the jobpoints, they are usualy on time, they come up instantly to check with the front person to see if i sihgned in like they are desperate to put me down for failure to attend. im gonna test this out and not let them know im there at the front, because they have to come and check, then you go over and say yep im here now you have to see me now. ive got em a few times doing that. i never get there early as they allways keep me waiting and it !!!!es me of

Sounds like you've got a nasty cow looking for ways to trip you up.

I don't think you have given them access to your UJM account and they are obsessed with getting access as that's what they've been told to do.

Have you tried asking other WP returners at your office if they are being treated differently to you regarding daily signing.

Ok got a letter from the Job Centre today telling me that my time on the WP has ended and an appointment has been made for me to see an advisor for them to let me know what support is now available to me.

I can not believe they still use the word SUPPORT!!

What support is that? They can not get people interviews so they are going to be a big waste of time as they were before and as the WP has been all this time

At a guess my 'review' this week will be my last but no one at the WP has mentioned that at all

That should read:

"...what further sanctioning criteria is now applicable to me."

i think they expect me to go in all happy everyday, but there are some days im a bit down, the whole situation gets me down sometimes, i try to not let them see that though, but once youve heard, so hows jobsearch going, everyday for the past 3 weeks it gets old. they see any type of non positive attitude as must not be doing enough. its hard to stay positive. specaiyl when there no new jobs cuz youve applied for everyone of them. i also think they are annoyed over the not giving them access thing too.

Maybe you should tell them that, because it doesn't help you get a job dragging you in every day going through the motions and they haven't got any real help to offer.

They don't realise the stress & worry they put people under.

I would think they would get tired of it as well, if you've got nothing much to discuss, it becomes counterproductive & a waste of time.
