Like Careers officers from schools giving you any old crap advice to tick boxes
So they’re going to spy on the sick, and try to force them into work to make their underemployment numbers look better.
It’s not just securing work, it’s keeping it. The same UK Government that claims to be helping has [cut Access to Work grants](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyl90ry2j7o) at the same time, a scheme which was very popular and effective.
They want to get disabled people into the workforce and off social security, but they seem fundamentally unwilling to make the kind of upfront investments that will allow people to actually transition. The strategy seems to me much more interested in the failed tactic of hiring “work coaches” to remind people they are unemployed, so the government can claim it has helped and it is the unemployed people who are failing.
That could be interesting. When I’m in my GP waiting room I’m on the edge of a catatonic, non-verbal panic attack requiring immediate use of beta-blockers to control.
You want to set me off with friendly chat and helpful advice? You aren’t trained for what happens next. The Dr can barely cope.
Ha. Yeah, who’s going to employ a 55 year old with multiple qualifications, who happens to use a stick, has hearing aids and is currently laid up with IBS, when there is a surplus of young healthy people out there who are still green enough to be fully exploited?
I mean, I know the cruelty is the point but the government won’t be happy until every quadriplegic is employed as a draught excluder. Or has an ‘assisted death’ because they are a useless eater… er… I mean ‘economically inactive’.
I agree with the idea behind this but I’ve seen in practice that those work coaches recruit clients to become work coaches in the same org which is a huge conflict of interest
If you are getting pip and other benefits, why would you work any job, lose some of these benefits for the same income?
there’s barely any jobs for people and the government want to take benefits? An evil world man, an evil world indeed…
