If they’re going to reduce the welfare bill the Royal Family must be shitting themselves.

Interviews are such a big problem. I’m autistic, mid-30s, I’ve been working full time since I was 17, but I’ve almost never succeeded at a job interview. I’ve always gotten new jobs by either knowing someone or starting as an agency temp and then getting made full time, with the one exception being an interview where I’m pretty confident that the hiring manager was also autistic.

Sir Stephen Timms cited a reluctance among employers to introduce adjustments as a reason behind the low employment rate.

It’s this that will help reduce those “negative experiences”. And improving the whole recruitment process too. They’ve made progress with gender and race on this front, they need to do better.

Getting employers to do so will probably require improved labour laws and investment, which doesn’t look forthcoming yet.

Instead I fear we will end up with some more unbinding guidelines employers will ignore, and then those who still cannot find work will have the rug pulled from them with the cuts.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
