any one going to take on a muppet just to get the cash off the gov?

[CLEANCARE WC]

you only get 1/2 minimum wage for 6 months so you still have to pay 75% of min wage

[John F]

what the govt havent though through is that the work has to be there in the first place to make a job vacancy appear. if you can manage now alone then why would you set a person on? if you see what i mean. its a great idea for some big companies...................

[Rogue Trader]

the majority wont pass the toerag stage of the interview process

[StockClean]

Even though its not perfect, its something. I would be looking to employ soon and i think the government are on the right wavelength here.

Its all very well saying that they are muppets, but if you look for muppets your going to get muppets.

[Rogue Trader]

i think the rules are that they have to have been unemployed for 6 months or more .... hmmmm your welcome to em but ..........Im out

[G Griffin]

Some good attitudes, on here. And how we moan when others look down on window cleaners.
"Muppets"........"toerags".........eyes roll.

i live in cornwall, and most of them are muppets down here,  they moan that all the emits take the jobs,  but a lot of the cornish where i live are think as F  i stopped employing cornish after my 3 rd one who couldnt read or write and kept ballsing up jobs,   i know its sterostyping people  but   a lot of the employers i know wont touch the cornish

[Rogue Trader]

haha if you employ someone from the job center that has been 6 months unemployed then you gotta be real lucky not to get a muppet or a toerag ... any of you who doubt that then i challenge you to do it and come back on here and let us know your results ..... muppet and toerag city .... cant wait to find out the results

[G Griffin]

think as F

You mean thick? Oooh the.......

[Pope vader]

lol.  see what they are doing to me, making me thick

[StockClean]

Im confident that the job market is so tough out there, that if you look for the right people, you should have no problems finding someone worth employing.

The mindset is, that cos its a window cleaning job, all your able to put up with is a bunch if no hopers who cant read or write, have no decent communication skills, and are on drugs or in and out of prison.

I got some news for you, these are uneployable. why waste your time?

When i look for someone, its going to be a starting salary of 18k per year, company van, performance bonus, and a clear career path set to get to rounds manager in 5 years.

In return i want people who have at least 5 grades GCSE C and above, are physically fit, have a full uk driving licence, can demonstrate they are good communicators, and be polite, and well turned out.

Trust me, you will find them, they are out there, its beter than what b&q can offer and this is the minimum even they would accept.

I won't take up your challenge and I don't feel I have to, to prove that you could be wrong.
I wouldn't say it was down to luck, either. Not if you know what you are doing.

[G Griffin]

lol.  see what they are doing to me, making me thick

 
My parents are the same  .

[Pope vader]

they down in cornwall

[daniel worgan]

any one going to take on a muppet just to get the cash off the gov?

The kids dont really stand a chance in this country do they  

[Pope vader]

no, they dont,  but a lot dont help themselves,

[daniel worgan]

And a lot dont have the opportunities to help themselves..
And with attitudes towards youngsters as they are they probably feel rejected and defeated before they are even given a chance in life....

[StockClean]

Yeah its no wonder their were riots earlier on in the year.

[Paul Coleman]

The thread title is a bit disrespectful.
"Cash for Kermits" might have been a bit better.

Seriously, not everyone who has spent six months on the dole is an undeserving loser.  If I were in the market for employing, if someone had a good attitude, I would take them on regardless.
When I started window cleaning in 1991 I had been on the dole a few weeks at the time.  I managed to start up because I had an old banger of a hatchback car, a credit card to buy a few tools and an out of trade plumber friend who lent me his ladder.  Without that, I may well have spent six months or more on the dole.  Even if you start unemployment with a good attitude, it's easy for that to get eroded as bitterness takes over.
