Re: Job Centre
Well i was right...It was a stitch up of sorts...I turned up in plenty of time ....was shown were the toilets where and put to work...my Job ...STANDING on a concrete floor at a bench ...cleaning phones with a duster ....putting them in a plastic bag then in a box...then starting again ...no one spoke..they all were going at it as if their lives depended on it.....after nearly 2hrs standing in one spot i had cramp in my legs and back and was bored stupid I even dropped two phones ...at 2 hours i was told that was it and i could go, (they said 3 hours on the phone) as they had someone else to try, to be honest i dont think i would have lasted the 3 hours ..they said i would be notified next week. It was not the job i envisaged when i applied it, the add was tarted up to make it look good ... it would suit someone with no work experience and no will or sense of achievement , but not me ..Well i know what the outcome will be Unfortunately it is a job i cant do physically or mentally and that was obvious ...but at least i tried .....

Steve matey, thats how they get the job done - line up a number of interviewees for a 'trial' and get them to do the work (without pay) for a number of hours and at the end of the 'trial' they are dispensed with and another set of 'trainees' are brought in. That way the company gets the work done without paying any or proper rates of pay. What a con!!!
