Hello,

This has probably been covered before on this website but I have not really got the will or inclination to trawl through 20 odd pages, so I thought I would start a new thread and hope someone would be so kind as to try and answer my query.

Well, if you cannot be bothered to do a search to find information about your query, it is no wonder you do not have a job.

Speaking as someone who does have a job but doesn't ignore the fact that the job market is horrendous at the moment and even jobs that in the past were easy to get like bar work, supermarket work etc are very competitive ....I'd like to say to every poster who has posted a smug and nasty post that karma can be an absolute biatch !

I doesn't look like the posters in the main were having a go at the OP not having a job, it was more the tone of the post that people had an issue with from my reading.

Could have simply asked in the opening post. 'my normal signing on day is xmas day, do you think i will have to sign on, or when will i have to sign on instead?' instead of the rant they did post.

Exactly if searching for info is so taxing then looking for work is going to be like climbing Everest.

Speaking as some who understands that the job market is hard, and that it is difficult for lots of people, but also someone who thinks that some ( not all but some ) people take the wee wee out of our system and expect everything to be handed to them on a plate I think the whole situation is sad.


There will be people who will have to do 16 hours shifts, work nights, do all sorts of horrible things on Christmas Day to get by. So to compare someone moaning about having to get off their b/hind to potentially go to a job centre even though clearly it will not be open, and then liken the people who work there to Hitler and someone having to go to work is not really fair.


The people in the job centre are just doing their job and I bet they don't enjoy it all the time either. But that is life. Sometimes we all have to do things we do not want to. Just because one person has a job and the other does not doesn't mean that the unemployed person is free from having to put themselves out.

Spot on. No issue with people having to sign on, hey it could happen to any of us but the rant and moan!!!
