Sanction targets revealed

            Inferring, perhaps? And you can't infer a person. Impugning, maybe?
And yes, I do know about the poster to whom I was referring, as he posts quite a bit about himself. The picture he paints is of someone who ought to be sanctioned.
I do hope that it's just an act, as the persona that he projects on here is of someone who will probably never hold down a decent job. I can only judge the persona, not the person, of course.
shows how much you know about me im not a he?
I have done nothing to be sanctioned.:footie:0 - 
            Well, for one thing it points out to them that it is not acceptable to be late. Can you really not see that it's not on to be late for meetings or interviews?
I really have no sympathy if someone turns up late, is sanctioned, and so goes cold or hungry. People need to learn that actions have consequences, yet posters on here seem to want to just ignore the rules, and still get free money. It beggars belief, this bizarre sense of entitlement.
As I've pointed out before, my first job in banking required me to be there at 06:40, ready to work. In the six years I was there, I was never late by so much as a second, and was never, ever off sick. If I could do that, every time, why can someone on the dole not show some respect for the system, and get in on time?
i cant understand your interest in posting on this thread all your posts seem to be looking down on people and judging etc. Your not even unemployed.
Are you posting in your works time?:footie:0 - 
            Completely agree. Why on earth would people actually WANT other people to become actually destitute with no money for food, accommodation etc. How in Gods name does that help people get a job? Sounds more like a recipe for suicide to me (shakes head with disbelieve).
exactly as said whats their point of being on here. If everyone was destitute for food because of sanctions etc, they may mug the poster for his wallet, is that the kind of world he wants to live in.
Dosent even think that he isnt immune to losing his job nor are any of his family.:footie:0 - 
            I think scrootum and john1993 are the same person, just here to wind people up as I certainly would not like his/hers/their attitude in the workplace or in life in general.
I've just secured my first interview and is half an hour before my sign on so went into the JC and explained I might be late and they were fine about it.0 -

I run my own business in the bank now, so don't really have work's "time", I just have targets to meet.
That tends to mean that I work 60-70 hours here, even though my contract nominally states 35 hours, but I do what it takes to get the job done.
And no, I don;t want people to be destitute, but on the other hand I'm not going to feel bad if their own actions drive them there. There is only so much help that the state should give.0
