This story, recently featured in the media, surely earns the brain dead drone who imposed this piece of Nannyism an unchallengeable award of "Fuckwit of The Millennia".
Aside from all the other regulations imposed upon the hapless employer by Nanny, wrt employing people, another useless rule has been created (almost out of thin air).
Nicole Mamo, who runs a recruitment agency in Thetford Norfolk, was attempting to place an advert for hospital workers. She was mindful not to upset Nanny wrt offending people on the grounds of race, age or sexual orientation etc.
However, she made one fatal mistake.
Can you guess what that is loyal readers?
Yes, that's right, she asked for applicants to be "reliable and hardworking".
Under Nanny's iron fist, this sort of blatant discrimination against the idle and feckless will no longer be allowed.
A drone working in Nanny's job centre in Thetford told her that the phrase was forbidden, because it could be offensive to unreliable people.
The drone at the jobcentre went on to say that it was policy, because they could get sued for being discriminatory against unreliable people.
Seemingly, following the media furore, the jobcentre went on to deny that there is such a policy and claim the advert was placed without any fuss.
Well, they would say that wouldn't they?
Nanny and her minions make the rules up as they go along, because they know that they can get away with it!

Perhaps she should have put at the end of the advert something along these lines;
ReplyDelete"We welcome applications from unreliable workshy applicants and guarantee that, as long as you meet the qualifications criteria, we will give you an interview."
Within six months the business would be bust.
This could only happen in Britain.

When I get the sack from work for being the work-shy lazy git that I am, I now know I'll have them bang to rights on the inevitable tribunal that follows... thanks Nanny! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard anthing like it! What a load of BS! If I were Nicole Mamo, in future when I need to place a job advertisement, I would make a point of NOT placing it with Thetford Jobcentre! And how typical of the jobcentre, when they deservedly received adverse publicity over the matter, for them to try and squirm their way out of it, instead ofadmitting they were in the wrong!
ReplyDeleteThey dont need to add comments like that on the advert. It may well offend the workshy gits out there. You are not allowed to ask if folk are black or female or disabled. This is just the same thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat they should do to avoid discrimination is add it on their "equal opportinities monitoring questionaire".
EG:
1) are you: a) black b) asian c) hymalayan d) english
2) are you: a) Male b) female c) transgender
3) are you: a) hard working and reliable b) a workshy feckless cunt
Problem solved. No hurt feelings.
Bucko: assuming they used your questionnaire, you can bet there'd be people who ticked option 'b' when filling out the form...

ReplyDeleteBe alert. Britain needs lerts.
ReplyDeleteJob centres are obviously staffed by lerts.
Unbeliveable isn't it, you couldn't make it up.
ReplyDeleteAh yes Nanny's Jobcentre Plus (Plus what?). The people who require you to sign on the dole before they will help you out in one of their jobcentres. That's what I found anyway. Unlike most young people I
ReplyDelete1) Have two master's degrees
2) Do not wish to sign on the dole
I am still unemployed. Partly because the recession means there are practically no decent jobs in the field I want to work in, partly because all the employees want people with 2000 years previous experience so I am doing 2000 tons of voluntary work and partly because Jobcentres only seem to want people to work in warehouses (provided they've signed on the dole first of course).
I knew I should have put down 'black, gay, disabled, Scottish jew in receipt of 200 different benefits' on my application form.
Want to see how far this sort of thing could go?
ReplyDeleteRead 'Incompetence' by Rob Grant - it's a look into the Nanny-controlled future.
I'd recommend that fine book too. Sadly, it was written a few years back, and it now looks more like a history of Britain than a satire...
ReplyDeleteHah, this is nothing. Nanny's US equivalent just recently advertised for "up to 10 experienced attorneys for the position of Trial Attorney in the Voting Section in Washington, D.C.”
ReplyDeleteThe mentally retarded and mentally ill are especially encouraged to apply. Think I'm joking? Go here.
For the first time, I feel that I've gained some real insight into how the US Justice Department works.
