Is this what we can expect

How about starting on people who can work but just refuse to ?

That site is from a group/batch that shares scaremongering speculation.

Most sites that have "live" "record" "online" and areas Cornwall, Birmingham, London, Coventry etc should be avoided.

Thanks Nightcity, I weren’t aware that it was a scaremongering site

I'm unsure if it's intentional or not but they are all about alarmist titles and clicks. Sorry for any distress it may have caused, because these sites do.

hi @vikki66

Yes I meant people who refuse to accept jobs, even not attending the interview, I know of a person who has not worked for years, don’t even attend his work coach meetings, and just puts on his journal that he had a bad cold and was bed bound, or a family member had a fall so had to take them to hospital with no consequences

I reckon there's more to that story than we're getting here. Possibly LCW rather than job seeking. May be a carer. May have a vulnerable marker on the account. Something doesn't add up.

Not on LCW job seeker, not a carer lives on their own, not vulnerable, he does have the gift of the gab so can talk his way out of anything, he shows me his journal where they post jobs but ignores them, he does say when he goes to see his work coach she’s harsh hence why he don’t go to every appointment as she keeps telling him he needs to apply for jobs and add to his journal as part of his commitment

OverlyAnxious

Well that is a shame if it's all as it sounds, I don't think many people get away with it on UC. The work coach should be sanctioning him for missed appointments without a good reason.

Why not just email a list of vacancies with requirements for applicants, working conditions and proposed salary?
