Coma woman told to find work

Have you seen the film "Brazil"?

So are you Sam Lowry or Tuttle?

God knows why they can't do something like this with compassion & professionalism?

Well, while I agree with your sentiment, let me ask you this; what kind of people go and work for the DWP? Likewise, what kind of people would want to work as traffic wardens, customs officers, immigration officers, HMRC officials, the Met's riot policemen, etcetera?

Would it be compassionate, nice, highly educated people who do their best to understand all the nuances and complexities of the story they are told?

Or are those jobs more likely to attract the indifferent, the minimally educated, the unmotivated and unfortunately in a few cases, the downright bigoted?

Personally I'd say it's the second option, and I don't know what to do about it except that the government should perhaps shrink and employ less of these inspectors, controllers, wardens, busybodies and beater-uppers to whom everybody is subjected in some way or another. Some people need benefits, in many cases because they're too sick to work, but some cases because we'd be better off without them in the workforce.

convert it to online would be a good move, you can then create a sensible workflow. Letting the frontline staff make decisions is obviously not working.

It doesn't attract anyone. It's a job the only kind of job they can apply for. Except riot police - they want to be able to beat people up legally.

There's plenty of people round here in comas but manage to turn up for work everyday.

They work in HR
