What planet are the Job Centre Advisers on?

I suggest that all of those whining about how bad and incompetent the advisors at the jobcentre are apply for a work experience placement at the jobcentre. Then maybe you will see what really goes on and have a better understanding.

Why, what is this suddenly going to show ?

Is this going to show JC advisors in good light or bad light, show how good they are or how bad they are ?

I was going to do that and was advised not to, it was explained to me that it would be wiser to sign on to keep topping up the N.I. contributions already generated.

I understand that approach, I just felt more comfortable not taking benefits.

I could not in good conscience claim that I'd take any job offered, so preferred not to accept state money.

People aren't whining and why should people need a better understanding? experiencing it is enough

As I'm sure most others would on here if the luxury of choice was afforded them.

I doubt that.

Why do you assume that people less fortunate than yourself will have fewer morals ?

I don't, and I don't think that most people on here are any less fortunate than me (finishing comprehensive in a working class family in a mining village in the 80s is hardly being lucky), I think that mainly they have made different choices to me, and that it is these choices, in most cases, which have lead our paths to diverge.

You do seem determined, by the way, to try to look down on me, and to sneer. It maybe makes you feel superior, but please, don't then try to take the moral high ground.

It's not really clever not to have your 'stamp' (National Insurance cont) paid when not in work, if nothing else, take it some don't think this destined to being likely 'pension poor' in the end matters..... JSA is probably the most serious benefit of them all

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

When I said more fortunate I meant that you had the choice to not take benefits, others on here don't have that choice and that to my mind makes you fortunate.

I applaud you for reaching a position where you have the option of choices, fortune doesn't come easy for most and I take it you worked hard to achieve it.

Now. If you don't think those less fortunate have less morals than yourself why doubt that they would do different than you.

I'm not trying to look down on you at all. You have achieved far more monetarily than I have.
