    I will not comment on your reply to my "laugh or we will be ill "comment as I think it's getting a bit daft now, it was clear what I was saying.

    Have you a reference proving targets are in place for sanctions? I have heard this a few times now and seem to remember that the DWP have denied that was the case.
    not all job centres are imposing sanction targets.
    my son works in the JC in london and there are no sanction targets.
    my daughter works in a JC in sth yorks and they are having targets fored on them.
    the staff are involving the union, as how are they supposed to sanction people if there is no reason to sanction them?

    trust me, the JC staff concerned atre just as unhappy with these sanction targets as the ckaimants are!

    we should start a new thread, ways to subtly fail an interview :rotfl:

    asking about their sickness policy...in depth, would be a good one.

    Or, not so subtle....."I'm just killing time till I start college"

    "How many holidays do I get in a year"?

    "How long is the lunch break"?

    If you didn't laugh, you would cry! It was a relief to sign of last year to go to college, but, when I leave there, it will be back to the system again. Unless I'm brave enough to go self-employed, as I just cant deal with all the hoops you have to jump through and the endless threat off sanctions! I'm getting too old for all this crap!

    Ironic (and very sad) that the people who moan most about the Jobcentre are the ones that are clearly trying to pay the system.
