    yore also suggests kicking people off the dole who have no other source of income,either a very inhumane person or someone who doesnt live in the real world much.

    as for the jobbridge job blocking scam,i cannot understand how or why anybody would want to talk it up..

    doesnt make much sense.


    as sunflower said the sooner the more and more people wake up and open their eyes to the vicious scam that job bridge is the better and hopefully it will die a death soon enough.

    people who sign up to job bridge are contributing to unemployment,as the more popular these schemes get the more dangerous it is,as this scam will get more credence and leverage,which it certainly doesnt deserve..

    How ironic.

    Governments don't create jobs. So go on, blame the man, scrap full employment and return to jobsbridge so. Break up the collusion of people who won't demean themselves and work for free for X/Y whatever crazy reason you believe.

    At the same time you'll be moaning that people are not doing enough to find full employment. It's laughable.

    Hey, all my friends and close family are employed. The effects on them are secondary n the form of increased taxes to pay for the spongers. I don't live in Ireland or have to pay taxes there. It doesn't bother me too much.
    I left three years ago. Not because I couldn't get a job but because I had a far better opportunity overseas. I had no problem getting offers of jobs back home. That was in the height of the "crisis". If I was back there now I'd pick up some sort of a job fairly handy (in fact a recruitment agency I had gone to when I finished college, last year sent me a email to ask if I was coming back!). I wouldn't be giving a sh1te about internship schemes unless I was taking on an intern as a means for me to give something back to society.

    Sunflower previously posted that she was nearly finished a such a scheme. I asked why she was completing it then if it was so useless and she replied that she'd get a valuable reference that could help her get her next paid job.

    if she started it and believed she'd get absolutely nothing from it, she'd hardly have finished it. She just wants it scrapped now that she is finishing it.

    less than 400/7000 have been ''hired'' out of this free labour scam,i cringe to think what the second roll out will produce,more tears more hardship and more unemployment being perpetuated by these job blocking schemes..

    Yore "whatever" isn't conducive to our discussion.

    If you genuinely think working behind a deli counter whilst in receipt of social welfare and a 50 euro top up is not classed as working for the shop owner for free and causing a burden on the taxpayer then I despair for this nation if there's many more like you.

    The shop owner is getting them for free. Free in the sense that no money is changing hands however time/training and other expenses may be incurred.

    The intern gets about 250 quid. Hence not free. Unless they get zero money, it cannot be claimed they are working for free.

    In what capacity have they employed them are they part time temps etc?If they got the first taste of the money that can be saved on a free labour scam,there hardly going to want to turn around and employ them full rate..wake up

    Again how ironic.....I'm not sure there are any limits.

    My school teachers worked for free so. The idiots. The School was owned and ran by the Christian Brothers, but for some reason they didn't pay the staff directly. Hence they worked for free according to your logic.

    Fair enough. It must make it all the more galling for a genius like you to be doing (what you seem to think are) demeaning schemes when there are idiots like me doing jobs and earning wages that you can probably only dream about.

    Nope, I've never done one and never would. Simply because I wouldn't be sitting on me hole for the 6 months or whatever it takes to become eligible for one in the first place.

    Yore don't link to a dictionary for "free" If you want a discussion on metaphysics we can go elsewhere.

    You see Yore, by your logic the term free in this instance comes at a great cost. The "intern" gets 238 euro of free money, printed by the tax payer.

    If you genuinely think that it will cost the shop owner 11,000 euro to train his deli counter intern as jobsbridge would suggest then you have absolutely no concept of the value of work nor the ability to appraise work in monetary terms. Slavery is for you Yore, be a shmuck all your life then.

    So you think people are sitting on their backside unemployed for a measly 188 a week or whatever out of choice?

    Do you think people who have been laid off recently are sitting on their hole for 6 months or more out of choice?

    You are deluded..

    I'm a schmuck alright.

    I work hard, but I'm hardly what you'd call a slave. Suffice to say, I probably have a much better job than the majority of the people on this forum

    Easy to say in a jobs climate with not even half the amount of jobs advertised,on average in ireland,people applying for jobs at the moment have a 50-1 chance,thats fifty potential employees to one position advertised..

    Talking about choice?Think of the circumstances..

    Do you want to work in a Deli? There's nothing wrong with that. Believe in yourself and you can do it. Just put your mind to it and anything is possible baby!!!

    Is that why you're here then, lambasting strangers just to reassure yourself that your job is a good one and that you're better than some people on an internet forum...

    I've visited poor countries. Proper poor. Not "My iphone is nearly a year old" poor.

    No dole, feck all supports. The people survive and probably wouldn't see 188 Euro in 6 months. But they'll be out doing what they can to survive.
