If you've had any dealings with The Dole Office (aka JobCentre
Plus), then we'd love to hear what you think of them. Here's a few to
start you off. If you'd like to submit your own story, then click on
the Submit button on the left and we'll post it on the site.
If it's good or bad, we'll make sure that we post a wide variety of
compliments and complaints on this site. Although, it's not our fault
if it turns out to be more of the latter.

How did you
find this site?: Search Engine
Do you hate
the JobCentre?: Yes - with a
great passion.
Why do you
hate them?: They have broken
my spirit and left me in a
state of paranoid paralysis. They have taught me the true meaning of
'hate', a meaning I was not very well acquainted with prior to my dole
years.
Not only do you have to live with
the depressing fact that you can't
find work, but the dole expect you to live in a perpetual state of
misery. If they catch you smiling you will soon receive extra forms to
fill out as to what exactly in your life merits a smile - financial
ones maybe? or maybe you have a social life, which is definitely
prohibited under the 'Get yourself a fucking job and stop
having a
life' Dole Act (1975).
I hate them so much that I got a
part-time job of 13 hours and
signed off completely - just to get them out of my life - even though I
now get €100 less per week. I could write a book on my utter hatred of
them. This will do for now, I'll be back!

How did you
find this site?: Search Engine
Do you hate
the JobCentre?: Yes!
Why do you
hate them?: For reasons best
known to themselves, they've
suddenly decided to dock my allowance by £10 a fortnight, for no reason
whatsoever. I've decided to challenge them, as I've done absolutely
nothing wrong. I shall return to let you know how I get on!
