R.I.P UJM
Universal credit on its last legs.
IDS still hanging in there. Just, but for how much longer.0 -
To be fair I reported "issues" with it to my local MP in November 2012 (surprise surprise, the useless sod never got back to me!) along with Liam Byrne who sent an automated response. Truth is it's been unfit for purpose from day one, in the time since then I've had two jobs, neither of which came as a result of a UJM ad. I've had two interviews as a result, neither of which was for the job as advertised (and both struggled with massive unprofessionalism at the interview). I guess though, that's what happens when you subcontract something out rather than ensuring it's of government quality - so exactly down this government's alley.
It's just a shame it took the media 2 years to cotton on to the fact that the thing was riddled with more fake jobs than genuine ones.Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.0
