Tacit
support becomes vocal. Now, I didn't make an allegation of fraud
against Pertemps. I looked at an official document that showed a
discrepancy of 5500% in job outcomes, and another document that said it
was fraud for a contractor to a government department to claim payments
for services that weren't provided, which lead me to ask a logical
question about these discrepancies. If they are going to publish
information about fraud and the positive nature of whistleblowing, they
shouldn't be surprised when somebody reads it. What do you think? My
first thoughts are shock and awe that I have encountered someone at
Jobcentreplus with a spine, followed by curiosity about an official review document not being considered to be evidence and contradicting the numbers on this letter.
The original letter enquires about the basis on which the answer is
given. That, unfortunately, has been omitted in Phil's reply. Let me
explain to you about how Jobcentreplus operate. In order to fulfill the
contract
that I had with them, they weren't willing to accept just my word, I
had to complete a jobsearch log and timesheet weekly, the former being
daily when I was on full time jobsearch. Therefore, Phil completely
understands that your word is nothing without such supporting evidence.
Hang on, did I say I was on full time jobsearch? That is impossible
because it would mean that Pertemps weren't providing a suitable
placement tailored to me, in my chosen occupational area, which would
mean that they weren't meeting the terms of the contract, which is not
that case, as Phil makes very clear to us. So there you go, I imagined
it all or inhaled too much second hand smoke, that clouded my
judgement. All that was required was to send something like this with the letter, only not full of zeroes. Update:
When I originally wrote this, I made a poor job of reading the letter.
The actual words are "Jobcentreplus are satisfied that the contract is
being delivered to the required standards". That is of course, not the
same thing as "Yes, the terms of the contract are being met", but
merely an expression of satisfaction. Clever writing, stupidity by my
myself or a combination of both. Nevertheless, whatever it means it
lacks credibility without backup in the face of contradictory evidence.
