a4e work programme complaints

[dazzz]

I doubt I can thank you enough, the legal part always screws me up and yes, again THANK YOU I'll edit in what's needed and print it off tomorrow.

Only one suggestion

 

replace word minions with something more suitable, employees.

 

Saying what we all think in this case will undermine your position.

[dazzz]

Hi sabresheep,

 

Yes I thought I would keep it less personal no matter what my thoughts. I could use worse also but, would that get me back on track

[jasta11]

I'd have used 'henchmen' instead of 'minions'..makes the whole thing sound so much more sinister

[dazzz]

Idiots would be more appropriate

 

I was sent to the new course, I got there and greeted by the same guy who did the employability course I did two weeks prior. The course I was sent for by a4e, now Peopleplus, was supposed to be CV and Interview techniques. This turned out to be the same ten day course I was conned in to doing. i was lucky that the guy was one of the few who thought I did not even need it the first time around, there are still a few decent people left. Anyway I was allowed to go home and then due to this was able to sit the first part of four sections in my English exam, yes I would have missed part of my exams.

 

Going by what I was told, they don't have anymore plans for me at this moment in time and hopefully sit all parts of my exams in English on the 22nd. After realising they had made a cock up, I held off from complaining but will, once I have the safety net to back, which is my exam pass. Be sure i'm noting everything negative they do now

The situation is getting that silly that I even cancelled a dentists appointment.

 

 

Hi Daz,

 

You should of gone to your dentist appointment. if you have evidence for the appointment they cant stop you...i know as i used it myself when i was on the WP.

The secret is not to let them grind you down and only do the things that are mandatory...also dont be so accessible like give them your mobile phone number etc...so you dont get endless texts and phone calls...the only contact i had was through email and if my adviser wanted me to come in for a appointment they can write to you or give you the letter for the next appointment whilst your there...still dont understand why they drag you in for a 10 min pointless chat but now i think its because they have to see you weekly.

Good luck with all your going for.

Thanks LemonNews for the info, if all goes to plan I should be off there radar soon enough. My main purpose right now is get my English exam done and then get a decentish job and enrol on an evening class for level 2 maths, once I have that done, more options open for me. They seem to be trying to derail me but, I guess i'm stubborn and gives me more motivation.

 

I'm still trying to work out why they would try to stop someone who is on their way up, I can if it's someone who shows no interest.

 

AH well, the system works

[LemonNews]

 

They (WP) want to get you into any job so they get there money simple as and your another success story blah blah, they dont give a monkeys about whats best for the person.

good luck!.

[dazzz]

I understand this and to me, that kind of motivation warps the system

 

Thank you for the kind wishes

...also dont be so accessible like give them your mobile phone number etc...so you dont get endless texts and phone calls...the only contact i had was through email

 

I don't consider email to be an appropriate medium for official correspondence. If they [A4e] ever rang me, my response was: "In writing only. You can write can't you ?".

 

If nothing else, it forced them to spend money on stationary and stamps as well as getting some much needed exercise by walking to the nearest post box
