Do Job agencies undermine democracy?

[greenfoam]

There all bullshit, they told me I was "unemployable" so since I'm not on benifits I just don't have to listen to that. Probably they don't get any money to help me either so I imagine that can be a problem

$33 bucks an hour, man I'd kill to earn anywhere near that.

The thing that shits me about dole bludgers is just that, in Bendigo thats all they do is f*%king bludge

they sit around the mall all day thinking thier **** don't stink, while I'm at work, working my injured (work related) arse off to support my family AND pay for thier welfare.

The ones that don't want to work aren't worth the ground they stand on.

Its the same over here in south perth mate.These people are bring the country down from the inside.

yeah it figures..

The Jobsearch website is bloody off tap too, you cannot even contact the employer and 99% of the time you have to apply online which is absolute bullshit because each agencie looks after its own clients first (the ones registered with them).

Dan

yes they look after there own because once they put a person into employment they then claim money off the government.if the person remains in employment for a certain amount of time (i think it used to be around the 3 month mark),they then claim more money from the government.if they pay to put a person through a course or buy them work clothes they claim it back off the government.can anyone see a picture here?

As an employer I avoid the agencies like the plague. For the short term they aren't bad but their hourly rate they charge me is very high. I presume they give the employee something at the lower end of the scale but wouldn't know.

Take whatever "****" job they offer, and just keep looking for "better" jobs.

If you're unemployed you're not "better" than any legitimate job you're offered. If you think you are, you need a couple of servings of humble pie.

yes dont get me wrong, I take what i can get. (see. car wash post)
I never said I knocked back a job.
I don't want to argue that point.

I am really hoping I find a way out of this crap and do not have to even go to the job agencies.

thing is these ****s want a resume full of car wash experience and referees..lol
I dont have car wash experience there fore in the eyes of job agencies and brainwashed employers I am incabable of washing a car.
Its a joke.

I dont think it is me that needs humble pie its the employers that think the job agencies are there to make them rich.

Whenever i apply for jobs online i steer clear of jobs that look like they are obviously advertised by agencies. To them i am just a name and nothing more. I find more often than not i won't score a job through them but if i go and find a job whereby i am able to deal with the employer i have a better chance of getting the job. They're parasites as far as i am concerned, just like life insurance companies. Doesn't anyone else see they are a scam. Unless you can successfully off yourself without it looking like suicide. And even then the monies no good to you unless you have an accomplice. Hang on i'm getting an idea.

Agencies suck! Most of the people they have on their books are lazy, don't show up when they're meant to or go out for lunch never to return! In the past 2 weeks I've had 2 no shows from agencies, one left at lunch time without telling anybody and hasn't been heard of since and I've given one guy the bullet for being outside smoking when he was meant to be working. So many lazy people out there.....
