    anyone else found that things have calmed down? I think they have finally realised they don't have the resources to follow the initial plan of harassing every post Work Programme claimant all day every day
    i am getting some grief and being sent on daft courses. meanwhile i bumped into someone i know today who left the wp the same time as me and all they have had is one appointment and thats it.

    I'm lucky I think - my advisor has been quite reasonable - since I did a ridiculous "course" every day for 3 weeks in August he has been fair about sending me on stuff and this current thing is ok - I almost wish it was longer than 6 weeks because at least I know what's happening

    It's crazy how unstructured it is from area to area

    also open to so much abuse like some biatch deciding off the top of her air head that Leroy needs to sign on every day

    a clear programme would stop people like her

    having said that though the other side of it is that my reasonable advisor would also be made to get stricter

    The advisors decide how often they see you or what you do depending on your needs.

    no it depends on how much of a nasty person they are and how much they hate you.

    No this is what she told me as I asked should I not be coming in more often and she said she didn't need to see me and gave me the reasons for someone coming in more often.

    She had decided this after I saw her the 1st time hence only seeing her twice so not sure she can decide if shes likes me or hates me in such a short time.

    belive me its totaly dependant on the person you get, its up to the advisors and she said shes doing it to everyone and that she is as well, everyone who sees her anyway, youre very lucky if you get a nice friendly one, not a fake absolute jobsworth, the 2 i see, one is obese and the other has chin hair and is a women, you can tell they were bullied at school or something and they love this little bit of power they have

    The advisors have their own discretion. They don't have to see everyone all the time.

    what they say and what the truth is arent necessarily the same thing.

    wich is exactly what im saying, youve obviously got a nice one, where as some people like myself have gotten a rite couple of !!!!!es with problems who abuse there power for there own enjoyment, ive had a nice one before and it was nice talking to someone decent, it made me feel more positive ina way

    its suppose to be like this i think, if you are giving access to youre account and proving and doing way more than the minumum then you should not have to go in daily, thats what a nice one would do, but the idiot ones like mine, ignore what you do and use there powers to the fullest because they are that sad and enjoy it.

    in other words mate if you had just come back from the work programme and seen the advisors i see youd be coming in daily

    yes and whenever you question why you see them so often, if you see them often they say its the rules, they have to.....
