Employment

  • World exclusive: Recruitment saboteur

    In a world exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a “Chief” in recruitment circles guilty of disrupting employment across London has been spotted.

    She’s accused of threatening staff, and invading workplaces to remove staff, according to her own personal dogmas, and illnesses.

  • Revealed: MI5 “Target” mistakes

    The inbuilt performance culture of every institution is open to abuse, from those who are too lazy but too powerful to the overworked and underrepresented. Those not usually calculated in are the staff who cover over their own performance.

    These are those who have a more evasive outlook on life. They overlook their own activity – and even offer to do the same for others – in order to keep up speed in the office. It results in career promotions and entitlements that aren’t deserved.

    The disgruntled feeling as other staff find out is palpable. The informant said her feelings were confused over it. She would do the same, but she figured not for that long or for that much. It was felt too much was being creamed off the top of their job.

    The perpetrator had manipulated her performance statistics to hide her oversights. An investigation showed thousands of mistakes in a few weeks, avoiding proper work and aiming to make life difficult for others. It was a case of live and let die.

  • Caught: MI5 agitator

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a career criminal with a history of attacking workplace managers and other staff has been spotted in the Mayfair area of central London.

    He’s alleged to have planned to infiltrate UK news outlets, in order to then disrupt MI5 operations in London, known as a “Lame Duck” operation, or “Subterfuge” against the state.

  • What is it with employment?

    The matter of employment comes up in political debates, but it’s not so clear what politicians mean when they say they’ve improved the job prospects of ordinary voters.

    According to statistics produced by the government, the employment rate has barely changed since the 1970’s. It shows a clear, almost steady line until the present day.

    The overpromising of party’s and a tendency to underdeliver may be explained by a potential to hit average, and find little to mark oneself out with if things are ok.

  • Update: Job centre calamity

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a suspect in a disturbance at a JobCentre in Reading, also involving two others, has been seen.

    The suspect had been questioned in connection with the incident, but had not been seen since, and was believed to have left the country.

  • Exposed: Job centre calamity

    It’s not easy looking for work, and helping someone to do it can be difficult too. The same problems appear to both, and expertise is not always a guarantee of getting a job or finding one to offer as a suggestion to begin with. The trials and tribulations are known to many by now.

    The innovation of government intervention to support job seekers is also not new, but reasons exist to believe it needs improvement or that extra help can prove a better way of doing it. It was the belief of two individuals who targeted a JobCentre in Reading, only to fail on their feet.

    They first invited themselves to “improve the system” of the workplace, not knowing such training upgrades and skills improvements were already under way. It appeared this pair were hijacking, as it were, the rollout of such measures to help Center staff as they continued to work.

    The ensuing calamity caused that lasted weeks did great harm to the wellbeing of service staff, and a few of those who used it too. It brought confusion, mostly, because the stated intent to help out an already fully functioning and sophisticated service went so badly wrong.

  • Grangemouth gets a boost

    In light of the news of the closure of Scotland’s only crude oil refinery in Grangemouth, an announcement made yesterday by Ed Miliband MP (Doncaster North/Labour), the Energy Secretary, regarding ongoing support for workers facing redundancy is likely to reassure.

    “We continue to stand with Grangemouth workers and we are putting money on the table to secure workers good onward employment. By working in partnership with the Scottish Government, we’ve unlocked an unprecedented joint investment plan to support workers and secure Grangemouth’s future, and I will continue to spare no effort to drive this work forward.”

    It suggests Labour hasn’t forgotten about issues which matter to its voters, namely job security. It was uncertain earlier this year if the reduction in available work might leave some out in the cold. Thanks to action, it looks unlikely now.

  • Labour loss at Grangemouth

    Ed Miliband MP (Doncaster North/Labour) sympathised with Grangemouth yesterday on X citing the closure of its oil refinery. It’s not a great look for a community to lose its largest employer.

    Brian Leishman MP (Alloa and Grangemouth/Labour) was elected on the back of a strongly socialist party manifesto, but Sir Keir Starmer’s election wish doesn’t look like it’s coming true any time soon.

    “Over the past few months, the campaign to keep Grangemouth working has spread the message of extending the life of the refinery, investing in the workforce and making sure there is no gap that would see workers lose their jobs. I have stood in solidarity with the refinery workers, and I will continue to do so.”

    In a Common’s speech, Leishman argued for a transition between a closure of the refinery and opening of alternatives. He said it would save jobs but it’s clear the government has an issue doing it.

    The difficulty is working out interim solutions to problems. It’s the same with a winter fuel allowance and it’s the case in a small town in Scotland. In spite of reassurances the future is uncertain.

  • Dodgy recruiters

    Looking for work isn’t easy, and from overseas it’s even harder.

    The questions revolve around trust because not all businesses or businesspeople are well known at all.

    In the case of Lindsay (not her real name) it was just as difficult.

    Her Polish nationality made it harder and her English was good but broken in parts. She tried, however, and eventually found out about an “employment expert” based in Reading.

    To her surprise she was sent a plane ticket and a promise of accommodation.

    It appeared her degree would pay off after all, having been told it might not get her far in the UK because the awarding institution is in Poland.

    Her trip over was full of nerves but also excitement.

    She wanted her parents to feel proud and she looked forward to a new life in England.

    Her arrival however was fraught with difficulty. She felt pushed and shoved by her contact, who her “employment expert” had sent to meet her at arrivals, she said in a text home.

    Thereafter the details are sketchy.

    A police investigation launched after her disappearance was exhaustive but inconclusive.

    Unfortunately her remains were found later in an abandoned flat in London. It proved albeit opportunities open up not every offer is safe.
