I am a new member I am a unemployed 60 year old on ESA have been with a company called Maxmus I am getting bullied by my adviser at Maximus they only have until January to get me a job if they don't won't get there money. I am being made to go on a course with 17 year olds which is no use to me adviser told me they will tell me how to cold call for work told her that most jobs you have to apply on the net yo which she told me that it's the way you talk on the phone which is rubbish as if it's company policy to apply on the net that what you have to do. She even lied to me saying if I worked 16 hours a week would be £96 better of a week which is rubbish. At the same time I heard another adviser tell another woman that if she worked 16 hours a week she would be worse of. This woman has lots of cards from people thanking her for getting them work but you can bet that she lied to them and once they start work and relise that she lied then it's to late as if they leave will not get any money. I'm so fed up should be able to retire but because of what the goverment have done can't retire until I'm 66 so am so fed up

Hi, welcome to DS.

It's shocking the way the unemployed & sick people are being treated nowadays. The Government are only out for themselves & their rich friends!

Greetings. I understand your predicament and find conflicting advice from one advisor to another is detrimental, I don't think this is government led, from what I have read the advisors are told to find the best route into work for seekers. It would be nigh on impossible to tutor them into how they do it, that rests with their management.

It is easy to blame the government but they are not on the frontline and I think it might be beneficial to look online and find real information which could help you gather better advice and hopefully lead you into the kind of work you would like to do. In this day and age surely your experience would be more appreciated by a company that needs more mature staff.

I wish you good hunting and hopefully hear very soon that you are settled into work you enjoy.
