You can go around the proverbial houses all day long but it won't change the fact that JC workers do what they do because they choose to do so.
It's the same for any other employee in the UK. The "I'm just doing my job, guv" line is pure baloney.
There is a differences between being JC adviser and a guardsman at Auschwitz, you know that right?
End of the day, if you follow the rules you won't ever get sanctioned.0 -
I don't get the point of the Auschwitz remarks. I'm assuming you thought they were of some relevance.
I've read scores of complaints made by JSA claimants that they were sanctioned because they failed to receive mail that informed them they must attend appointments which they didn't because they had no knowledge of them. All of those could have lied, but if just one were truthful then it's perfectly possible to be sanctioned for doing no wrong. What say you?0
