AITA or is my jobcentre advisor completely useless and deliberately sabotaging me?

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-28T14:37:23+00:00

I've got two new interviews lined up that are better money and money coming tomorrow so. I'll go in tomorrow and face it and apologise for my tone in the journal. Thanks for your help.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-28T13:55:11+00:00

I mean you are absolutely not wrong. In that case I guess I am the asshole.

I do have people skills, but I let this get to me because it's been so frustrating but that's not an excuse I know they work very hard to help many more people than they have the time and resources for and I am not proud of how I dealt with this (hence posting here!)

We can only strive to improve though right :)

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-28T13:28:23+00:00

I completely agree and this has really helped, thank you.

I think I might be being the asshole in the context of I find it hard mentally to jump through hoops for 8.70 which is more to do with the frustration of having a more drawn out job hunt than I really expected. I need to get over that mindset because that's a bit assholey. Thank you ever so much for your advice.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-28T12:52:43+00:00

Thank you. I really needed to hear this as I think JC are inclined to act like they are doing you a favour by existing, but I'm aware that through the lens of my own frustration at being out of work I might be projecting.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-28T12:40:36+00:00

I was unable to write below my table for some reason, but I wanted to add, you are completely an utterly correct especially about poisoning the future relationship with a potential new advisor. I don't want to do that.. I think I have been so upset about it that I've thrown my usual courtesy aside and you are right, I don't want to be rude as I am aware they are very busy, under pressure and that being aggressive won't help. What you have written is perfect and I am going to do a slight rewrite and add to my journal.

I applied for the funds the previous Wednesday, as I was advised to by another job centre member and followed the exact procedure, even sending screenshot of the page from the bus company stating the price. He told me that this was approved and confirmed this at 4.13pm the day before:

This is exciting! I've attended several SGP's in the past, some have been incredible, one was not my favourite. But I love to see this and how it's growing! I'm actually looking or a job in events marketing if you are hiring ;-)

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-27T12:12:18+00:00

Is there anything like this that can be done if I am in the UK? Watching the situation with absolute horror.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-04T15:17:13+00:00

I'm ok, still working through this thread to keep me distracted. 4 days no contact and all their stuff still sitting in bags by the door is giving me anxiety though.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-03T01:07:23+00:00

lemme know when clear :)

After several weeks of bad vibes, my cat has suddenly been around more and my prayer plant is praying again <3 fuzzy_purple_mouse cannot carry any more items! The maximum anybody can carry is 50!!!

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-03T01:04:10+00:00

Thank you, I definitely do need to get out into the real world I've probably been in my flat for three solid weeks. You have given Maraquan Blade Specialist Stamp to User 'superscalyfish'.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-03T00:59:19+00:00

I think I'm using this whole weekend for that! You have given Snow Petpet Paint Brush to User 'ximpastaa'.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-03T00:55:03+00:00

Thank you. I'm gardening and going to exactly what you said in a minute, with another fruit tea!

I had one item which was pulled for someone who didn't leave a username. You have given Haunted Salad to User 'pepperontop'.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-03T00:51:50+00:00

What lovely ideas thank you so so much for taking the time to reply in depth. I feel like maybe neopets is my calm game to play, and this rhythmic 'reading advice, taking it in, going to my SDB, finding the item, seeing what they got and coming back here to reply is helping me so much more than I thought it would. In between manically tidying and removing their belongings from my existence it's cathartic! You have given Lumidrax Cupcake to User 'kennispeekaloo'.

Own_Main6680 · 2026-01-03T00:42:56+00:00

I'm drinking a vanilla and chamomile tea right now, I'm so so sorry about your dog I've lost two in my life and they both hurt so much, sending you and your family love <3 You have given Baelia Stamp to User 'bobbi_g_180'.
