    Sounds sneaky and some of these companies do report back to the JC.

    When I got my present job after being on the dole for 6 months I was offered a job in a chicken processing factory (horrible job and horrible place) and when I refused their job I was told that they would be straight on the phone to the JC then.

    My thoughts exactly, the entire thing is designed to trap people, very sneaky. You also won't find out about the hidden overtime clause until you refuse to do it.

    You haven't mentioned that before, at least not in this thread.

    You just don't like your employer. Can you think of one thing that they do right? Do they pay on time?

    They do so its not all bad, I was thinking yesterday about the best thing about my job. The number 1 for me is they are positioned beside a cell tower giving full H+ signal which allows me to search the job sites at lunch time.
