So an update to endless problems with Seetec/Work Programme.
Last time I was trying to get help with attending an interview in London for a
promising administration job, £43 is a lot to magic out of the air when you
only get £71 a week. Seetec however were being incredibly obstinate and were
using a variety of reasons like the Enterprise oscillating their shield frequency
in an attempt to deny me help and indeed a chance at a job.
Their main go to is Seetec
don’t pay for jobs outside the local area (my local area is one of the most
deprived in the UK). Now I remember my induction and initial interviews with
Seetec when I forced onto this useless WPP with a history of bullying me and at
no point did they say, “hey we know times are tough and competition for jobs is
crazy but we only want you to look for jobs locally” because if that would have
happened I would have called bullshit and raised holy hell. Like with a lot of
things that Seetec say they tend to fall apart when they get examined.
Anyway the upside of the story is that they finally paid
back my travel expenses today which you might say yay but after arguing back
and forth about it for over a week during the preparation for a very
competitive job. This is what Seetec do to people working their hardest to find
a job they put obstacle after obstacle in front of them. I can only hope that
continually to fight them and to raise issues at the level of my MP and soon
with my local job centre might result in someone actually taking notice of this.
That is my hope it is more likely though that I will just be denounced as just
one of these ‘scroungers’ which the government has successfully fooled the
majority of the public into believing outnumber the honest hard working job
seekers slowly drowning in a sea of debt.
