treecreeper 1,136 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) If you want a kid, you should be made to prove you can pay for it No one knows what's around the corner pal I had a steady fulltime job worked there for 5 years and had my 2 eldest while working there so I was in a postion to provide for them then the place went down hill and laid off ne on 30 people unluckily I was 1 so then I turned "scum" claiming the dole for 6 months. I then got a temp job after sending cv after application form after cv I was there 3 months, while I was there as I knew it was only sick cover I was still applying for a permanent job, I finished that on the tues and started another job on the wed and I was there 12 months, were me and my partner had our lad. they promised you everything until you hit the just short of 12 month mark then the under handed fcuks Fcuked me over. Little did I know this was a common trate with them and in 12 months they churned out 15 people while I was there. Since then I've done agency work but when you have a family to support then you can't be promised 3 - 6 months work and end up with 2 - 6 weeks then weeks with out so in cases you can see why some people stay on the dole as it is a safety net for them. To day I hope will change all this as I have an appointment with a business planer / helper to start my own business Aye you're right there mate prime example me at the start of this year, got myself a job gardening for a local garden centre, promised "as much work as you want, 12/14 days if you fancy" over the summer period. In reality because it was a 'zero hour contract' i did two shifts the first week, then wasn't called upon again for another 2 weeks where i did 2 and a 1/2 hours tidying the car park at Mecca Bingo it got to the point where i was better off on the dole! Seeking assurances that work would soon come my way i found my employer to be ignoring my texts and calls and wouldn't answer the door when i knocked (he lives on my estate). So i had to go back down the dole office to sign back on even though to this day i'm technically employed, i haven't heard a peep from the prick and had no P45. So i had no income for about a month, then the dole took another two weeks to come through all because this tosser had sold me down the river with promises of work. f*****g disgraceful. He's alright though in his BMW and 5 bed house eh Thing is to start the job i had nearly £150 worth of work clothing bought for me by the job centre to get me started, and i barely did three shifts in them! Anyway my adviser has been in contact with some other woman who deals with businesses direct and she's said the garden centre took on another two staff, one lass in the cafe and another as a PA in the office. The lass in the cafe has had one shift and nowt since, and the one in the office got asked to work for nothing!!! is he running a business or a circus?? Needless to say the job centre aren't keen to work with him again. Be nice to earn an honest wage without all the bull shit of zero hour contracts, false promises etc How old' fit are you ? Babcocks a cable instalation company in Hartlepool are taking on. Its around a tenner per hour basic rate monday to thurs. Friday 7-12 noon overtime then sometimes sats and sundays on time and a half and double time. 2-3 year contract building two new destroyers at Roshythe nr Edinburgh in Scotland. Van picks you up in Hartlepool and drops you off at end of week. you get dig money while your away. You have to graft but its good money. youll probably need a clean criminal record but thats a good dough especially if you havnt got a trade Edited May 21, 2013 by treecreeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zero surprise in that then??? "There were two boys filmed drinking down Farmers Lane and the crew bought them a crate of beer and a £20 bag of weed." Well now I know they are lying, theres no such thing as a £20 bag of weed. lol Ain't they lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ratreeper 441 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I feel no sympathy for the parents at all, sick of hearing people deserve benefits because they worked X amount of years. If everyone got back what they put in then what would pay to run the country? Or how she felt bad taking from a charity because it shouldn't be normal people who pay for it It must be a piss take, she has no idea what being skint really means and has more luxuries than I can afford and me and the mrs both work full time. The issue isn't about money, it's about being a shit parent which is what they were showing. You can be poor and turn out as good as anyone or rich and nob, but the odds are against you in life you if your role models are like that. I honestly think no-one should get child benefits at all, it isn't your right to make other people pay for you to breed, if you want kids then f***ing pay for them yourself why should I have to support your lifestyle choices? If you can't afford them and have them anyway you should be sterilised, end of. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
