My son

Thank your rosh he is starting to apply for more work.I told him sorry but he has to get on with it.It is a tough old world out there and he has to learn to toughen up.Shame really he is such a nice person.Don't turn evil just wise up.

suzzy3: Yes. I am also of the same opinion -- parents should support -- but we can't be going along with our children all along. they will have to carry their role. the children will have to learn to face negative experiences, people, world.

Young men have a hard time finding their way sometimes, mine did & something like this doesn't help at all. They are just a bunch of dirty rats.

Thanks for that Anti.He is getting on with it a bit wiser.People used to help you in the old days not anymore.He has picked himself up and started applying for more jobs such as they are.It has just made me cry for him.

I have sat and cried for him.He does not want to sit on the dole and take.Angry is not the word.I told him to stop he was getting ill.He was even going to hand his notice in properly and I told him not to bother you owe them nothing.A really hard lesson learn't for him.He is looking again and I am sure it will not be long before he fixes himself up with something else.He did say he was thinking of agency work ,stop looking for full time.To be honest when he signed on at the dole they only had one job to offer him so he has applied for it in an office.One job in all of Maidstone and chatham area how sad is that.

I am so sorry to hear it happened to you as well.It is a terrible thing to go through.They do say " what does not kill you will make you stronger" I do beleave that is true.Thank you for being honest about your fake job it shows you are moving on you deserve a good future.

The thing is the company are not breaking the law, just the moral law.He is getting over it and is job seeking again.What a wake up to world,poor kids of today My heart goes out to them all.

I agree with you the world is not what we think it should be. Growing up as a child you think the world will treat you right if you are a good person. Then you get a rude awakening when you realize the corruption of it all. At 55 years of age I have found that their is nothing but corruption throughout the world from Government to the smallest company. My heart goes out to the young and innocent who have no idea what type of world we live in. Its a very sad state of affairs in my opinion. I'm glad he is getting over it and I hope and pray he finds something soon. God Bless!

The trouble is like you say there are so many people out their searching for work chasing so few vacancies on in our area.Some employers are bs and take advantage of young people.I just hope this situation does not continue for too long.Take care and I wish you luck in your future.

Thank you for your reply.My son is like so many vunerable young people in the job market .So keen to get a job maybe he did not really listen as well as he should have.He was sold a dream.I am not saying you personally take these young people for a ride with stories of great riches ,I bet if someone had sat him down and told him he would only get one sale from a hundred and fifty pitches ,he would probably not earn anything for three days or that he was training and his manager would swoop in and take his sale after my son had done the pitch he probably would not have bothered.The way I see it the managers of these sales firms have brain washed so many young people into beleaving in the dream they actually beleave it themselves.Only a few people make money doing sales like this and they are the ones at the top and there are not so many of them.He turned out with polished shoes and smart clothing he walked in the blazing heat,he was dropped off miles from home and worked his socks off,he knocked on door when mothers were putting their kids to bed,he was given doors where people were rude to him,he did not give up till he realised he had worked 45 hours with no pay.I do sincerly hope you do not associate with companies that act in this way.He is educated to a high level,he has been raised not to suffer fools.I am extremely upset and maybe someone in your industry could set up a commission to weed these crooks out.He was vunerable and has learnt his lesson well.It broke out hearts to think that he was out there on his own trying to make his way .Not sit at home on the dole but try to make something of himself,He was taken for a ride and thats what has really upset me and my husband.Sorry to have vented so much.
