Just been listening to a sad tale,
A bloke in his 60's not far from retirement, been suspended from job seekers, the reason?
Hasn't logged into his account with the super duper job seekers online system.
The guy is hardly able to put pen to paper, so managing a keyboard less than no chance.
Leading up to his suspension, when they introduced this sparkling new system he was asked if he had a computer & an email address, because he answered no, they arranged a 10 day course, despite being unable to understand what was being discussed, he got a pass for the course, then was given a list of places he could go to log on free.
He tried, he failed, but was then suspended for not fulfilling his obligation to the agreement he'd signed about job searching.
Now come on, some folk will never, ever be able to use a computer, it isn't something they want or need, but to leave a confused guy with no money just because he doesn't and probably never will understand a new system.
How can this be right?
Before some smart arse asks no, I'm not talking about me.
