    I never comment on here, joined the forum a couple of years ago when I was buying my house, got some good info. Had a browse, seen a lot of nonsense like this back then and quit. I can't believe people still feed him.

    This is the same person saying the same things in a different guise, he also had a yarn on another board about finding a girlfriend back then, probably still at that as well.

    If like you say, you don't need to claim JSA, or need to work, why should anyone try an convince you otherwise! We don't know you, not a single person on here cares what you do. For that matter they don't care what I or anyone else here does. I just don't understand these threads.

    If you ever decide to work, (entirely your choice, again, I.DONT.CARE) you'll do well to look for employment in a sector requiring patience, because you obviously have bags of that creating all these usernames!

    And now I'm annoyed with myself for feeding you!

    1. By then they were all like you, unable to take me seriously.

    2. But it's finding long-term, meaningful work which now seems to be impossible.

    3. But the real question is finding a place that won't boot me out after 6 months due to redundancy/incompetency/bullying/greed/or 'company shakeups'

    4. And the second is that I have very little to offer in terms of 'real job' skills or experience, so I am disposable in the workplace. There's no incentive for a company to keep me long term, especially as long-term employees gain greater entitlements.

    Unfortunately, No. 4 probably impacts on No. 2.

    No. 3, few can predict what will happen in 6 months time unless the financial pages are screaming "Possibility of Nasty Big Co. taking over Youremployer"

    As for No. 1, agree it's an insurmountable problem and I think you're now stuck in a vicious circle.

  • Join a temp agency, use the money to put yourself through some basic qualifications. You sound technical enough, why not something like PRINCE2 training, and then look for a junior project manager role? It's something.

    Or go self employed.

    But getting the !!! when people tell you what they think, after asking for completely open advice, perhaps shows why you've lost so many jobs...As does blaming "incompetence" and "bullying" on the part of the employer. Why do you think you've been bullied? Why do you seem to think you're permanently the victim?

    What are you going to do about it?
