And do you think as advisors we are unaware of this, we know they have been introduced to p**s people off so that they sign off. But as I said before we cannot change what the government decide we have to enforce what the government of the day decides

can i ask how does the new thing apply to those who do voluntary work?

I'm assuming it will be sligtly different at each office, but it will be for 3 months.

We have around 15 signing staff at ours but i guess we must be a much larger office than the one you attend.

just for 3 months? so what is lined up after that?

CSMW is obviously and advisor that knows/understands the system - yet s/he gets accused of being a troll etc., when the advice is actually correct!

not everything they say is correct and when people point that out they get called workshy. this then leads to an impression they are trying to provoke a reaction. this is why on occasion a poster may suggest they could be trolling.

I cant see daily signing happening unless jc staff want to work later than 5pm and saturdays.

actually from reading the thread the supposedly correct jobcentre advisers are effectively attacking anyone who dares ask for help etc on forums as work shy or not interested in jobs and you'd also get the impression that the jobcentre could do no wrong and is just there to help and that sanctions are a last resort as opposed to something they used to threaten anyone who is unemployed

Justcsaying in response to daily signing how can it be feasible. Unless the jc is open longer i cant see it happening.

Your just a low level public servant and if it wasnt for the unemployed you would probably be signing on yourself. If your getting that bitter and twisted towards the unemployed then you should give your job up and get something elce where your more suited.

Given their their high success rate on referrals for those not actively seeking employment it would appear they're very well suited to the post.

I work as an advisor in a contact center and put up with people being !!!!!! on a daily basis, It's not made me a !!!!!! advisor.

Do you tell the people being !!!!!! what they want to hear or give the correct advice even if it's not what they want to hear?
