The job center is killing me

I am sure this is a joke now as I have asked lots of times as have others here what the sanction was for and we get random replies.
If you read the thread it is quite apparent what the sanction is for. Perhaps you have a problem with your comprehension skills.“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -

Full circle!
In amongst all of this are a few posts from people genuinely seeking to help.
The OP will be lapping all this up.
(I do realise, by the way, that my posts are also prolonging the thread which is clearly not genuine;))0 -

The OP obviously has a far bigger problem than comprehension that's why they have the sanction.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
I only know how to read English and you should have a look at the OP's posts where in the same post spells a word correctly and then a few sentences down spells the very same word wrongly.
The OP obviously has a far bigger problem than comprehension that's why they have the sanction.
I'm not interested in the OP's spelling skills. You have been extremely rude to him. You don't have to read this thread. Why not just move on and leave him well alone?“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -

He doesn't need to. We now know why he's been sent the letter. And we also know he will be receiving another one this week with an explanation of the sanction and information on how to appeal.“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -

Like I have said the OP needs to ask why he got the sanction, speak to the JC manager who will help them and if the OP is on the work the JC have really nothing to do with it. They need to write to the decision maker and get an appeal form to appeal this.
If I read rightly the WP got the OP a placement and they left therefore its a failure to comply and can be sanctioned but if you all think here that the OP cant then lets see what the advise is?We’ve had to remove your signature.

I'm sorry but this is a pile of crock. For the record, I don't know or care of the OP is for real, other than to say that if they aren't, they have wasting a lot of good peoples time. I think the work programme is a waste of space. And the job centre could be a more user friendly service at times.
But honestly, after watching this thread grow for a couple of days, the OP needs to get in the real world. They have an excuse for everything. They can't /won't go to a food bank even though they are starving. They can't /won't go to family. They can't /won't go to friends. They can't /won't learn to improve their language skills. They can't /won't find out why they have been sanctioned, and can't /won't tell us why not.
Well, for starters, the world depends on writing skills even if your employment doesn't, and if you want to stand on your own two feet then you need to be able to write. You are here asking a bunch of strangers for help IN WRITING, and we can barely make any sense of it because you can't write. What does that tell you? Is it not a heavy hint that you need to improve?
And as for your jobs don't require you to be able to write, how would you know - you haven't had one for four years. Either they now do, and you can't compete any more; or there aren't any of those jobs around, so you need to get your act together and learn to do what the jobs that are around need. If you have been seeking work that hard for four years, and are prepared to take whatever is out there to get back into work, then obviously something isn't working for you, and you need to fix it. !!!!!! the work programme won't get paid for you unless they get you a job, so why would they be putting you down as unemployable? Unless there is something seriously suggesting that?
And I'm sorry but there is something else you need telling. It's not right, but it's true, that a fair few employers willing to employ the unskilled and barely literate are also not great employers who care too much about the niceties of law or health and safety. Going around taking photos of breaches in front of management is going to get you sacked /sanctioned anywhere. You either need to suck it up for the sake of playing the game and getting /keeping a job, or you need to be a sight cleverer about how to report it. And who to.
There are no quick fixes for you, but you have had loads of great advice here and seem to rubbish all of it and give reasons why you can't take it. If you are for real you should be listening to people and getting your act in gear. Because otherwise you will spend the next four years doing this over and over again.0
