Maybe some people work away from home to get away from their family ? I reckon that is more common than you'd think.
Im a bit lost here mate. An office worker? Th This sounds like billys dream. 16 and mixed veg..... Did you do any work?
Scenario is that you can work 40 hours per week and be paid £8.50 per hour, £340 a week. Or you can sponge, manipulate and swindle your way to £300 a week. Person A) I want to earn a living, I want to show my children that you only progress in life and reach your dreams if you work hard, be a man and eventually your boss might think you're good enough for a pay rise, or a manager's job, or you could go on to own the ****ing company. Person B) What's £40 a week, **** it, where do I sign?
Yeah, I don't build things or carry heavy weights and my hands never get dirty. Office workers can never work hard, we have it easy.
There we ****ing have it. A lot that are capable to work are in a comfort zone. Sorry but that includes the majority of benefits That sounds wrong. Within each benefit group there is quite a few taking the piss.
Oh yeah! I've fortunately never had to claim disability benefits because of my bi-polar. The amount of lads who lived in my area that claimed they had bipolar just to get more money is ****ing ridiculous
I would make everyone on benefits work eg like cleaning up the streets, dont let them sit on arse and get paid to do nothing, there's some Polish near us who had no trouble finding a job, coming to this country
Ok mate. I am not even gonna claim i know anything about this. Only what i have read on here. Dont dig me out on this one. You have it along with others. What drives you to work where others take the easy benefit route? The girls probably? Which brings me back to the op. You would be apart from them to make the money for their happiness. Am i wrong?
You would make everybody on job seekers allowance do that, you mean? Making genuinely sick people and disabled people work... that's just the type of post that'll make this thread descend into chaos, that's my job or Comm's job, not yours.
I was made redundant at 62. Went to the Job Centre, looking for work I was never likely to get at that age. And the advisor tore me to bits! She ripped up all the forms I'd filled in, helped me do some others and suddenly I had officially taken 'early retirement'. When I objected, she told me (very sharply! ). "Listen, there are 25 year-olds here who have never worked since they left school. After six months, they run out of benefit and we find them a job. I can tell you the exact date when they'll be back. They'll go work on a 3 month trial, turn up half the time, laze about when they do turn up, and then get rejected as unsuitable. Then they'll be back in here for another six months' benefit. You've worked all your life. Now you bloody get it !" She wasn't allowed to swear at someone but by the time she'd finished with me, I was scared not to retire! The system isn't wrong in UK Commo. But if Cameron &co tighten up on the b**tards who think genuine working people who've fell on hard times owe them a living for freeloading, I'll support him. I hope they tighten so far the scrounging b**tards turn blue in the face. Bare-faced freeloading Britain is the problem, not the genuine ones who've paid their dues and earned a bit of help in return
I want to work but can't work, well, told I shouldn't work. ****ing sick to death though, once moved I'm getting a job, don't care if it all ends in tears. I've got to try something, not working isn't helping my mental health. I will be let go sooner or later if I get a job but **** it. It's all well and good my ****ing shrink saying I shouldn't work as mania makes me dangerous to myself and colleagues and depression effects my time keeping. But am I just going to sit here with my head battered forever? I need to pay back into the system and get back to building a pension otherwise I'm going to be up **** creak when I hit retirement age. For a pension I can live off I need to be working now. Hand's being forced.
Bri without being rude or personal. Do you have parametres that you have to/choose to when looking for a job.
Half of it's down to education IMHO. I have come across plenty of people who are semi-literate and have their chances curtailed as a result. Why are the schools letting them out like that? You can get by without many school qualifications, but reading, writing and basic maths are essential.
Oh yes lets blame the schools the teachers also for a nation of bone idle ****d coming through. Ffs sid
I'm not blaming them, comm, but I'm not sticking my head in the sand and saying it's not happening all the time out there either. My brother in law is a case in point. And if they're allowed to be bone idle in school, why the bloody hell do you assume they'll be any different when they get out?
Same families are on 2nd generation claiming benefits , knock out a load of kids and live on the benefit money,why they want to work if the rest of us pick up the bill
