The Job Centre

I'm angry because the job centre hasn't paid me for six whole weeks and I'm running out of cash and can't afford groceries, I'm actually LOOKING for work but they seem to be a bunch of morons who honestly don't care about that, just that they tick a few boxes and say the right words and EVERY TIME I go there they spend 20 minutes wondering aloud to each other why my file won't appear so finally I walk up and start telling them and they tell me to 'please sit down and wait miss'!

At last the ONLY one of them who has half a brain cell comes up to me and says 'so, why can't we find your file' and I explain the WHOLE messy situation and how the answer is simply to call my previous job centre who are so INCOMPETENT that they haven't deleted me off their system and the guy says 'ok, i have to write it down on this 50 page list of things we have to do so that someone else can do it' And I say 'look, they did that the last three times too' and he says 'ok well you should try ringing this helpful hotline'.

Why can't they just deal with my request themselves instead of making me ring a call centre 300 hundred miles away?? Every single person there just wants to pass on anything more complicated than ticking a piece of paper to the next idiot, so nothing ever gets dealt with!

I rang the call centre. The first time, the call centre person said 'i'll send an email, you'll hear within 3 days' NO I DIDN'T!! The second time 'ok I'll get onto the manager, you should hear tomorrow' - NOPE!!!! I tried to ring again yesterday, it was 5 past 4 'i'm sorry we are closed' so today i try ringing at 5 past 3 'i'm sorry, we are closed' Apparently, Saturdays they close early......WHY?? Every other workplace stays open til 5, 5:30.......they're incompetent AND lazy!

I've been blinking persistent, and polite but direct, I've waited patiently while they try and engage me in conversation, I've endured the air of despair and deprivation in the waiting room, and most importantly I'VE ACTUALLY LOOKED FOR A JOB......

In fact, THAT makes me angry too, because I get £49 a week, barely enough to live on, and they can't even give me that. And I KNOW I will get a job soon because I'm putting in the legwork and trying so damn hard, and I know that some other kids could be doing that too, but aren't, are just writing down made-up 'steps' they have taken to find work, and when you FINALLY get down to the crunch of talking to the advisers, I expected some questions, maybe a little advice (they are after all, called 'advisers') , OR at least a brief chat about how the job search is going - but each time for me it has literally just 'sign your name, see you in two weeks'.

THEY DON'T give a damn, they don't think like intelligent human beings, they are lazy and stupid.

That's why I am angry at the Job Centre. Anyone else???


A NYS County Office 2

I am so damn angry because apparently I'm not screwed up enough to get help from the government. I lose my job, and I can't find another one--I'm falling behind on rent and bills and can't afford food or gas or anything. No one will hire me, so I decide to apply for unemployment and some temporary assistance. NOPE! Guess not. I guess if you're not a pregnant druggie 15 year old slut with an STD and 3 kids then the system just isn't for you. I've paid my goddamn taxes, my family and friends have, and when someone respectable and honest needs help, OOPS, GUESS NOT. FUCK YOU, NYS GOVERNMENT.


Welfare Case Workers 3

Dude, are you fucking serious? I'm on welfare. Not by choice; hell, the only way I'm even on the internet is public wi-fi. I just got a job and, as per my state's guidelines, I need to notify Welfare right away. Well, I TRIED to do it. But my fucking case worker doesn't take my calls. Actually, she's my second case worker. My first case worker never answered my calls either so I called her supervisor (my current case worker). SHE NEVER FUCKING ANSWERS EITHER. And the few times I DO get the bitch, she DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH! For Christ sake, man! Why would the government hire someone who CLEARLY has NO grasp of the English language?! THIS IS AMERICA, MAN. I mean, I'm not racist but C'MON. I don't speak Spanish! Her english is so terrible and her accent is so thick that any english she tries to speak is warbled and incoherent. Sorry if I "broke the rules" but how am I supposed to comply if YOU MAKE IT FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE?! Get the fuck out of here. Seriously.

*Note from Anger Central
First, Welcome back to the world of useful people paying taxes. We wish you the best of luck and a good future.
Second, Government workers are generally useless which is why we need to shut down 90% of the government. If you want to make things better, vote out anyone who calls for more government, more regulation and more taxes.
