January 28, 201313 yr All front line job centre staff have a target of three people a week whose benefit payments have to be stopped. Fail the target and it's disciplinary action. Is that true?
January 28, 201313 yr A4E? Never heard of them before (until I read the link below)... Let's concentrate on the two feckless idiots with their £95 a week luxury lifestyle though. Fuck the ones raking in millions through unemployment.

January 28, 201313 yr Is that true? The info came from a job centre whistleblower. I don't see a reason to doubt it.
January 28, 201313 yr The info came from a job centre whistleblower. I don't see a reason to doubt it. I'm not doubting it as such, just wondering what the 'charge' would be.
January 28, 201313 yr A4E? Never heard of them before (until I read the link below)... Let's concentrate on the two feckless idiots with their £95 a week luxury lifestyle though. Fuck the ones raking in millions through unemployment. Read this article about the folk who are supposed to be helping solve the problem (at the taxpayers' expense): http://www.telegraph...e-tax-loss.html That's just one of them. Certain companies are making a mint out of unemployment at tax payers expense. The one in Bolton was TNG on Folds Road. It's shut now, so I presume they've lost the contract. They got around £100 a week for every claimant referred to them. Even job centres are in the private sector now. Serco have the contract for that. That's a company with a turnover of £4.5 billion, coming from government contracts. Capita, turnover £2.3 billion are another.
January 28, 201313 yr I'm not doubting it as such, just wondering what the 'charge' would be. Think of it like a productivity target. Every three months or so you have a meeting with your line manager at which your performance is reviewed. Fail to meet targets and you get a verbal, written or final warning based on how long that failure has been going on. Ultimately your contract could be terminated with notice.

Read this article about the folk who are supposed to be helping solve the problem (at the taxpayers' expense): http://www.telegraph...e-tax-loss.html Not read that link but I'm sure you can answer this easily enough... Are they raking in millions of profit, are they doing the job others used to do (not very well) and are they saving 'us' money by getting results?
January 28, 201313 yr They'd like another as well you know. and therein lies the real issue with me, sterilisation at birth should be the norm. Only folk who can support kids without state help should then be given the choice of having one or two at most.

Rewarded for failure - read the link, it's two minutes of a job. I read about the Posh and Becks of the DSS in The Sun.
January 28, 201313 yr Tbh, if somebody gave me the money i get from work for fuckall , i wouldn't work either. I'd have more time to go to the gym or cycling , or read books or do anything i want.

January 28, 201313 yr Rewarded for failure - read the link, it's two minutes of a job. I read about the Posh and Becks of the DSS in The Sun. Wasn't being facetious before, I was being an iphone wanker On the face of it it looks like a state sponsored scam. However, using recently established WWays logic, I am dismissing anything written in a newspaper as shite.
January 28, 201313 yr They sound shite these I-phones...What exactly can you do on them? All I see them being used for is by slightly retarded commuters playing a Tetris-like game involving bubbles.
January 28, 201313 yr A4e's Emma Harrison paid £1.5m dividend despite pre-tax loss Scandal-hit A4e paid its former chairman Emma Harrison a £1.5m dividend last year before she stepped down, with further payments to associated companies, despite the group falling to a £2.1m loss, accounts show. The former families adviser to David Cameron received the windfall before resigning as A4e chairman in February 2012, following a string of fraud allegations about the business. Accounts filed at Companies House also reveal A4e paid Miss Harrison’s associated business, Andromeda Park, a conference management company, £188,000, for “services” and her husband’s business, Thornbridge, £816,000 for lease of property, totalling just over £1m for the couple. This is despite A4e making a loss of £2.1m in 2012, following a pre-tax profit of £15.1m in 2011. Group sales declined from £234.3m in 2011 to £194.1m last year. In the UK, sales were significantly down, from £215.6m to £167.1m over the period. The highest paid director at A4e received £416,000, the accounts showed. This is £110,000 more than the highest paid director in 2011. Miss Harrison was criticised early last year for taking an £8.6m dividend from the taxpayer-backed company, and media focus on the back-to-work provider intensified after it emerged police arrested four former workers in an investigation into the company. When Miss Harrison left A4e as chairman, the company stopped paying dividends to all shareholders and will pay no dividends in the financial year to March 2013, the company’s accounts revealed. Miss Harrison stepped down from her post as chairman the day after she quit as Downing Street’s “families champion”, but she remained a majority shareholder of A4e with 86pc of the shares. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Miss Harrison. On top of allegations of fraud, A4e was also hit last year by claims of poor performance. A4e is the second biggest contractor to the Work Programme – the Government’s flagship back-to-work scheme – but early performance data last year showed it was below target; as well as the 17 other prime contractors on the scheme. In its accounts for the year ended March 2012, Sir Robin Young, chairman of A4e, said 2012 had been an “unexpectedly turbulent” year for the company, but the business had emerged “stronger”. He added that official Government audits identified no evidence of fraud – systemic, attempted or otherwise – and said no other welfare provider had gone through such a thorough and forensic review of its practices.The National Audit Office disclosed there had been 126 cases of potential fraud investigated by the Department for Work and Pensions since 2006, of which A4e was responsible for 11. Of those 11 cases, one resulted in prosecution of an individual member of A4e staff Edited January 28, 201313 yr by Youri McAnespie
January 28, 201313 yr Let's not bother with the likes of A4E though, let's continue to peck downward - what's the point of looking up? We can't reach them. Bollocks.
