Hi,

regarding this complaint, I have to explain what happened, at the Jobcentre, last Thursday.

I've been unemployed now, for two years here in the UK, and it has never happened anything similar, with me, earlier.

I went on the meeting, with Jenny there, and gave her a form, where I've written all the things I've done, to find work, since the last 'sign on'-meeting.

I also gave her two vacancy-files, from the Jobcentre-machine.

Then, Jenny pointet at the screen, and she said I had a sanction, so I wouldn't get money, on Tuesday, (last week).

I thought this was very unfair, because I don't think I've done anything wrong, to do with Sencia/Employment Zones.

(Which I'm going to write an appeal about, so I won't go into detail about this here).

But I was in a daze almost, since I was a bit tired, and since I've unemployed a long time, perhaps.

I got very angry, because I need those money, to pay my bills, and to pay for food.

I'm on a shoe-string budget, that I've set up, in co-operationg, with the CCCS.

So I depend on the Jobseekers Allowance, to have money, to pay for bills and food.

So when I was told, I wouldn't get the money, for two weeks, then I got very mad, and it was like my whole world fell apart.

Since I almost have no money.

And I have hard fought payment-plans, with creditors, that I know I can lose, (and get taken to court about), if I don't pay those bills.

So I thought this sanction was very disrespectful, and I don't think a thing like this, could ever have happened, in Norway, that people get punished like that, in a way, so that one risk running out of food.

This was very low-ly, I think.

So I got angy.

And on top of this, Jenny there, said I could write about my feelings, in an appeal.

But I thought that was just a provocation, to ridicule and harass me.

Because I would have wanted to write about facts, and write my thoughts and opinions.

But I wouldn't just write about my feelings.

That wouldn't have made any sense, to just write 'I want my money because I'm sad/angry'.

So I think I was very ridiculed, by Jenny there.

And each time I go to that Jobcentre, I have to write a new complaint, because they really mess with me there.

(Some mobsters or some mafia, or something).

Like I think you know, since I've sent you a large number of e-mails, about this, in the last months.

I thought I was so unfairly threated, so I lost my temper, (like the police said).

Or rather, I thought I had to protest, for being threated, in a way like this.

So while Jenny went to find the appeal-form.

I got up from my chair, and went further into the corner, of the Jobcentre there, on the First floor, and wondered how I could protest.

I thought, maybe I should throw Jennys computer out the window.

But I decided that that would have been a bit much.

So I decided not to do that.

But I was very angry.

(I don't think I've ever been this angry before.

Only if someone steal from me, then I sometimes get angry, if I'm tired etc.

But this isn't very often.

I'm 40 years old, and this has happened a couple of time only.

And the last time, was in the 90's, I think, when someone stole some orange-juice from me, in Oslo, and the house was full of people my sister had let in to our house, (Ungbo), then I got angry, and kicked a football, in the wall.

But, there wasn't a football at the Jobcentre, but I kicked a litter bin there.

Just to protest and get out my aggression.

It fell over and made a plump noise, and I saw that it had some documents inside it.

Then, I had got to protest and got my aggression out.

So then I was calm and quiet and fine.

But then, someone screamed at me.

A jobcentre-woman.

'Go out of this office now'.

Even if I was calm and quiet, I was just walking back to my chair.

Then I just tryed to get my files with me, from Jennys desk.

Before the screaming woman and a man, attacked me, I think I have to say.

They went so close behind me, (while they screamed at me, to get out), that when I tried to put my Attendance arrangement booklet, (that had been lying on Jennys desk), in my back-pocket, while I walked towards the exit-door, then my elbow thouched the blond job-centre woman, in her 40's, I think, 'tits', since she walked so close behind me.

And also a man walked this close to me.

So I think I have to say, that I was throuwn out of there, even if I was calm and quiet, and just wanted to protest.

They screamed at me several times, that they would call the Police, and that the Police would contact me, etc.

So I think this was a punishment, for my protest, that I was throwed out, and screamed at.

So I think I've already been punished, by the Jobcentre-staff for my protest there.

This was just to explain what happend, at the Jobcenter, on 26/8.

Now to my complaint.

Today I was at the Jobcentre, again, after receiving a letter, from the Jobcentre-manager, (for Williamson Sq. Jobcentre, Liverpool), telling me to come to the Jobcentre, today, at 9.30, for an extra meeting there.

I'll index the comlaints, since there are a lot.

I was thrown out of the Jobcentre, Williamson Sq., on 26/8, even if I was calm and quiet, and was no threat.

I just wanted to protest.

But after that, I was fine, calm and quiet.

Still I was thrown out, and screamed at, many times.

So I think I was a bit harassed then.

Just to also explain about this.

The Jobcentre-manager, tell me I distroyed a fan.

But I didn't see any fan.

And I think I would have heard it, if the litter-bin had fallen on a fan.

So I can't see, that the Jobcentre, has given evidence, that I distroyed the fan.

This Jobcentre, has messed with me a lot, I'd see, (see all my earlier complaints).

I suspect that this could have been a fabrication/plot, by someone at the Jobcentre.

And I'm not convinced, that I did this.

So therefore I don't think I've really distroyed anything there, and I think it's un-fair that I have to pay for repair-work, on a fan.

This was probably a fan, that didn't work from before, and therefore was put away in the corner, close to the litter-bin there.

So I think you should tell Mr. Winter, the Jobcentre-manager, that he has to give me evidence on, that I have distroyed a fan there, before I have to pay for any damage.

Because this with the fan, was a big surprise, for me, when I read the letter, from Mr. Winter, last week.

My senses are quite good.

So I think I would have seen or heard it, if a fan had been damaged, in connection with my protest there.

So I'm not convinced, that this was my fault, and I haven't got much money, and I don't want to pay £50, for a fan, that I'm not convinced that I've damaged.

Like I told the Police, I didn't see any fan.

And then the Police desribed it, as an 'accident'.

And then I'm not sure, if I should.

I'm not sure if it was an accident, I think it could have been a fabrication, just to cause me problems, by some 'mafia', since I've overheard, in 2003, that I'm being followed, by the 'mafia', (who ever which mafia they meant).

And I have relatives in Norway, in the Order of St. John, whom I suspect, that also mess with me, through that crusader-organisation.

I was harassed by Jenny there.

She told me to write my 'feelings', on a form.

(On the sign-on meeting there, on 26/8).

But that form, is ment to be written 'thoughts' on.

So to describe my thoughts, as only 'feelings', that I think is to ridicule me, and to harass me.

So this was the last drop, from that Jobcentre.

They are horrible there, I think.

That's why I protested.

I wanted to escalate this complaint, from the Jobcentre-manager, Mr. Winter, who said today, he wouldn't go on with that complaint, in the meeting today.

But I think I can't accept being threated as degrading, as that, so I wanted to please escalate, that complaint.

I have been informed, by the Jobcentre, (by Jenny and Mr. Rimmer, at the Jobcentre Birkenhead), that I wouldn't get my Jobseekers Allowance, on 31/8.

Yet, I got it anyway.

(I thought that maybe the Jobcentre had understood, that they had made a bad desition or mistake.

And therefore let me have the money, anyway).

And now, Mr. Winter tells me, that now I'll lose the next payment, on 14/9 in stead.

So now, I've lost even more control, on my economy, since the Jobcentre change the sanction-date, all the time.

I think you shouldn't sanction me now, since you have 'messed' with the sanction-date.

And then, a sanction, would be even more unfair, against me, since this now has messed my economy, more up.

How am I supposed to keep track on my economy, when you change dates like this, all the time, more or less.

I think this is just silly.

I think you should stop 'messing' with my Jobseekers Allowance, and don't have a sanction at all, since you've messed with the dates, and completely ruined, more or less, my last weeks.

I'm also on a shoe-string budget, in co-operation, with the CCCS.

And my budget can't take sanctions on my job-seekers allowance, for two weeks.

I don't think it's healty to e.g. only eat rice og purridge, for two weeks.

What if this makes me lose my phone or electricity etc.

I live in my own flat, so you distroy a lot for me.

I isn't like I'm a teenager, who lives with his parents.

Then I could perhaps have understood a sanction like that.

But this is just ridicules I think, and iresponsible, I think, by the Jobcenter, to distroy peoples lives and mess with their economy, in a way like this.

So I hope you can please stop this mentioned sanction.

And please don't this again.

I don't think this is like a funny practical joke, or something like this.

I think the Jobcentre, show a lack of understanding, regarding how adult people are dependant on their regular income/allowance, (that they rely on), to be able to have control of their lives.

How can you expect people to keep control, and get their lifes sorted, in a way, that makes them able/fit for contributing, to society, when you mess with them like this?

This is just cruel/evin/silly, by the Jobcentre, I think.

So this I wanted to please complain about.

The letter from Mr. Rimmer, (the Jobcentre, Birkenhead), was sent, on 27/8, informing me about the mentioned sanction.

Yet, I was told about this, on 26/8, by Jenny, at the Jobcentre, Williamsson Sq.

That's why I lost my temper, since she said this, like lightning from clear sky, (like we say in Norway).

Why wasn't the letter from Mr. Rimmer, sent to me, before the meeting with Jenny, on 27/8.

I think this was a bit stupid almost, I think I have to say.

Like I told Mr. Winter, in the meeting today.

If I'd got the letter from Mr. Rimmer, before the sign-on meeting, last Thursday.

Then I would have just maybe hit the wall, at home, in anger, after un-fairly, (I think I have to say), losing my Jobseekers Allowance.

Why do you tell people about sanction-desitions face-to-face, rathing than sending a letter.

Wouldn't it be better to send the letter about this, before the face-to-face sign-on meeting?

I think that would have been better, so I wanted to please complain about this, as well.

Mr. Winter, today had four meetings set up for me, at the Jobcentre, in a row.

First a security-meeting, (held by himself).

Then a police-meeting, (where Mr. Winter also was present).

Then a sign-on meeting, (by a young man in his 20's, I think. Mr Winter wasn't present in this meeting. This was a meeting to replace the meeting, on Thursday 26/8, which really finished then, since I had signed on and all, I just didn't get the appeal-leaflet).

And then a final summarisation-meeting, by Mr. winter.

I think this is to many meetings, on a row.

I didn't have time, to prepare, for the Police-meeting.

And in the sign-on meeting, I didn't get to exlain, that I had really signed on, last Thursday.

Because I was really over-run, (or what it's called), with all these meeting, I think.

I think I should only go to one Jobcentre-meeting, at a time.

And not on three or four, like Mr. Winter arranged for me, today.

Because then it's hard to stay on top, through all these meetings.

And then I can get tired, and forget to make points, that would have helped my side/case, etc.

So I wanted to please complain about.

Mr. Winter, didn't tell me, in advance, that the Police would meet with me, today, at the Jobcentre.

When I was thrown out, last Thursday, they screamed at me, that the Police would visit me, at my address.

Williamsson Sq. Jobcentre, isn't my address.

I didn't have the chance to prepare for this.

And Mr. Winter, was present in this meeting.

Which I think, was really between me, and the Police.

Why didn't the Police go to my address, if they wanted to speak with me?

I have an IPCC-case, against the Merseyside police, (to do with an employment-case, against Arvato, etc), and I thought I recognised Mr. O'Brian, from that complaint(?).

Why are the Police and the Jobcentre, having secret Police-meetings at the Williamsson Sq. Jobcentre.

I find it hard to trust Mr. Winter after this surprise.

Why didn't he prepare me for that the police would be there.

Mr. Winter told me, after the security-meeting, to prepare for a sign-on meeting.

And suddently, to Police-officers, in white shirts and black wests, shows up, to speak with me.

Then I have to go upstairs, with Mr. Winter in front, and the two Police-officers behind.

In front of all the people at the Jobcentre.

I thought this was embarrasing.

Just because I wanted to protest, doesn't make me a criminal.

Is there a secret police, in the UK, I'm wondering.

Shouldn't there be opennes, in society.

Why wasn't I told that the Police would be present, in today's meeting.

This I want to please complain about.

Mr.Winter said I had been using violence there.

But, I don't think one can call kicking a litter-bin over, (as a protest), for violence.

Violence, as far as I understand it, is if you kick og hit a person or an animal.

So I can't say I've done violence.

Just protest, I'd call it.

I don't think I was violent there, since a plastic wheelie litter-bin, doesn't get damaged by a kick like that.

So this was very unfair I think.

So this I wanted to please complain about.

10.

I remember that I signed on, (in the meeting with Jenny), on 26/8.

Why did I have to sign on, for the two weeks commencing 26/8 again today?

This makes no sense.

How could you lose that form, that I signed on, on 26/8.

This I wanted to please complain about.

11.

In the meeting today, I was writing down notes.

But the Police, (the officer in his 20's, I think, with brown eyes. (he ordered me to look in his eyes, that's why I remember)), ordered me, not to write notes.

Is this civil?

Are the Police at war?

This was very out of line I think.

What has this go to, with civilised behaviour, to order people not to write notes, in a meeting, with the Police.

What was it that the Police wanted to cover up.

Why do the Merseyside Police act like we are living in a police/fascist-state?

Is there a war I don't know about?

This I wanted to please complain about.

12.

The Police, (the officer in his 20's, I think, with brown eyes), in todays meeting, threatened my, that they would arrest me.

If I escalated the complaint, against Jenny there.

How can the Police mix cases like this?

This seems corrupt and dirty to me.

Are they allowed to make threats?

I don't think so.

So this I want to please complain about.

13.

The police accused me of 'Criminal damage' on a fan there, at the Jobcentre.

But, I haven't even touched a fan there.

He then changed it to 'accident'.

But I think something is wrong, how can he accuse me of this, when I haven't done it.

Someone must have lied there.

At worst it was an accident.

Then how could he get it to 'criminal damage'.

Someone must have lied at the Jobcentre, I reackon.

So this I please want to complain about.

14.

The Police didn't interduce themselves, to me, in today's meeting.

This I think, isn't good behaviour.

So this I wanted to please complain about.

15.

After the sign-on meeting, on 26/8, when I kicked the litter-bin, as a protest.

Then I sent two e-mails, to this e-mail address.

One with an explanation, and an update later, where I apologised.

Mr. Winter hadn't received the e-mail where I apologised, (he told me in the security-part of the meeting, today).

I also remember, from a meeting with the former Jobcentre Manager, Mrs. Hart, that she also didn't get e-mails sent to her, from you at the Contact-us department, I think it was.

So this I wanted to please complain about, that your system for giving your managers e-mails, doesn't seem to work, at the Jobcentre, Williamson Sq.

So this I wanted to please complain about.

16.

In the letter, from Mr. Brimmer, (from the Jobcentre, Birkenhead), from 27/8.

It says something that doesn't make any sense, really.

It first says, (to do with the mentioned sanction):

'We can't pay you Jobseekers Allowance from 27 August 2010'.

Adn then:

'We can't pay you Jobseekers Allowance from 10 September 2010'.

This I don't think makes any sense at all.

Why have you written two different dates?

This I please wanted to compain about, that looks confusing.

Why do you want to confuse your clients.

This I want to please complain about.

I send a copy of this e-mail, to the Norwegian Embassy, (since they are involved in the Arvato-case, which I've mentioned), to the UN, (since the IPCC and other British Government, don't answer my correspondance, and don't accept me as a refugee, after I've run to the UK, after I overheard, in Oslo that I was followed by "the mafia'n", and after I was attemped killed, in Kvelde, near Larvik, in 2005, and then went here to Liverpool, and has stayed here since), also I send a copy to the CCCS, since I have co-operated, and gotten a lot of advice, from them, with setting up a budget, that I can live with, while I'm unemployed.

So I guess you can't answer the complaints about the Police, at the Jobcentre.

So please just ignore the complaints about Police-officers.

Those are really for IPCC, but they don't reply to my correspondence, so those complaints are really to the UN.

I just write them here, since the Police was at the meeting at the Jobcentre.

So they fit in, in this complaint, I think, due to this.

To get the whole picture and better overview.

But please just ignore answering the compaints about the Police, that you at the Jobcentre, really can't answer, since you don't control the Police.

This I understand, I just thought those complaints, belonged in this complained, since the Police and the Jobcentre, where so closely 'knitted', at least from my point of view, in this case, to do with my protest at the Jobcentre.

Again, I apologise, that I kicked the litter-bin.

I'm not going to that again.

But I think that Jobcentre threat me in a horrible way, unfortunatly.

I hope you have the chance to look at this complaint.

And I hope you don't think I'm inpolite, since I complain so much.

I really hope I wouldn't have to write complaints like this.

So I'm sorry that I have to.

Hope this is alright!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Subject: Problems with the Employment-zone meeting/Fwd: New review-meeting?
To: CONTACT-US@dwp.gsi.gov.uk

Hi,

now I was at Sencia, in Pall Mall, for the Employment-zone meeting, at 1.30 pm.

The only problem was, that while I tried to get the calling to work, in that building, in Pall Mall 30-32, then someone told me, that they've moved, to Hanover St.

Then I called Sencia, on 0151 236 1204.

And they told me, that the inductions would start in 5 minuttes, and that it would probably take me 10-15 minuttes, to get to their new address.

So Sencia told me to contact the Jobcentre, and get a new appointment.

So that's why I'm sending this e-mail.

And to complain about that your Employment-zone information-pack litterature, should be up to date.

I remember telling Mrs. Smart, at Jobcentre, Williamsson Sq., that I chose Sencia, among other things, that they were close to my address, (in Leather Lane).

So I wasn't given the information about the new Sencia-address, by Mrs. Smart eighter.

So this is a new complaint in the long line of complaints, that I've had to send about Williamson Sq. Jobcentre.

Can you please explain how you can not have up to date litterature, in you information-packs, about Employment-zones, after you didn't give me the right information at first eighter, (like I've also complained about, to this e-mail address, on 20/5).

Regards,

Subject: New review-meeting?
To: CONTACT-US@dwp.gsi.gov.uk

Hi,

almost a year ago, I received my university-level degree in IT, from my 'home-university', Oslo University College.

And I've mentioned this, from time to time, in sign-on meetings, at the job-centre, (Williamson Sq.).

But, I was wondering.

Should one have a new review-meeting, if one get a new university-level degree, (and a new jobseekers-agreement).

Also, I was wondering.

I have the internet at home.

Do I still have to use the machines at the Jobcentre, for the job-search?

(I think it's better to do at home, because then there's less noise, etc.).

I haven't got a regular contact-person, at the Jobcentre, so I thought I could try to send an e-mail about this.

Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Yours Sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Nå var jeg på ‘sign on’-møte på the Jobcentre

Jeg tok opp det, som hun Clare hos the Jobcentre, prata om på det forrige ‘sign on’-møtet, for fjorten dager siden.

Om jeg ønsket å forrandre noe, på ‘the Jobseekers Agreement’.

Og det så jeg jo på hjemme, i forrige uke, som jeg skrev om i denne bloggposten:

https://johncons-blogg.net/2010/08/pa-jobcentre-i-england-sa-har-de-noe.html

Og resultatet ble bra, vil jeg si.

Det ble vel akkurat sånn som jeg ville ha det, (mer eller mindre).

(Jeg måtte forklare litt da, at jeg syntes det var litt dumt med ‘Call centre’.

Siden jeg er fra Norge og ikke prater helt perfekt engelsk.

Da er det kanskje dumt å ha en jobb, hvor man må sitte å prate engelsk hele dagen, tenkte jeg.

Sånne ting.

Men men.

Og hun Clare spurte også om jeg hadde jobbet med Web Design, og da forklarte jeg at jeg har mitt eget nettsted, (http://www.johncons.org/), som jeg har designet selv, fra scratch.

Så jeg fikk det som jeg ville, til slutt, ihvertfall.

Men men).

PS.

Her kan man se hvordan den nye Jobseekers Agreement ble:

PS 2.

Og her er en jobb jeg fant selv, før møtet, på en sånn maskin, som de har hos the Jobcentre:

PS 3.

Og her er en jobb, som hun Clare fant til meg, under møtet idag:

PS 4.

Hun Clare, hun sier også, at man må ha jobbet som IT Manager, fra før, for å få jobb som IT Manager.

Det sa hun på møtet idag.

Men det blir mer sånn da, at hva kom først, høna eller egget, synes jeg.

Man må jo få den første IT Manager-jobben et sted også.

Sånn som det er nå, (på møtet idag, og for to uker siden), så finner hun Clare, kun assisterende butikksjef-jobber til meg, når hun skal hjelpe, eller ‘hjelpe’.

Forrige gang, så var det assisterende butikksjef i gullsmed-butikk.

Og idag, så var det assisterende butikksjef, i skobutikk.

Men da synes jeg, at hun nesten ignorerer, at jeg har studert data, i fire år.

(Eller egentlig fire og et halvt år, hvis man tar med tiden jeg studerte ved the University of Sunderland.

Selv om det ikke var så vellykket, grunnet mye krøll med Lånekassa og HiO IU, som først nektet å godkjenne fagene mine, osv).

Men man kan jo se det, (i det første PS-et ovenfor, i the Jobseekers Agreement der), at hun Clare, hun klarer ikke å skrive ‘IT’ engang.

Hun skriver ‘It’.

Så jeg lurer på om hun er den riktige rådgiveren for meg.

Jeg skulle gjerne hatt en rådgiver, som kunne sett hvilke ferdigheter jeg har i data, og finne jobber til meg, på bakgrunn av det.

Men hun Clare, hun tenker visst bare på erfaring.

Men jeg mener, at man kan søke jobber, med bakgrunn i utdannelse også.

Så det skal jeg ta opp neste gang, at jeg synes det virker som at hun litt ignorerer utdannelsen min.

Og det er fire år på universitetsnivå.

Så at det skal sitte en Jobcentre-medarbeider, å ignorere de fire årene.

(Enda jeg har vist henne graden min, flere ganger).

Det synes jeg blir litt dumt nesten.

Men men.

Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

Mvh.

Erik Ribsskog

PS 5.

Og jeg nevnte også for hun Clare, at jeg hadde drevet med mye annet forskjellig.

Sånn at det ble litt dumt, med the Jobseekers Agreement.

På den måten, at jeg ikke fikk plass til alt jeg kunne søke jobber innen, på den avtalen.

Jeg begynte å nevne, at jeg har gått tre år, på handel og kontor, og derfor kunne ha jobbet som kontormedarbeider.

Og at jeg har jobbet, som butikksjef, hvor HR, var del av jobben, (såvidt jeg kan skjønne det ihvertfall, selv om vi ikke brukte utrykket HR, i Rimi).

Og derfor kan søke på jobber som HR Assistant, etc.

Og da avbrøt hun Clare meg.

Og sa at jeg kunne søke på mange forskjellige jobber.

Men det var bare plass til tre typer jobber, på the Jobseekers Agreement.

Så det er ikke så firkanta, at man bare kan søke på de jobbene, som står på the Jobseekers Agreement.

Så sånn er det.

Bare noe jeg kom på.

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

PS 6.

Jeg skrev til the University of Sunderland Alumni Association, om det her:

alumni@sunderland.ac.uk

Hi,

I'm sending an update, after a meeting I had on the Jobcentre, Williamsson Sq., in Liverpool, today.

Because I think that the Jobcentre ignores my IT-education.

(Four years at University-level in Norway, plus the months I studied at the University of Sunderland).

The Jobcentre says that I would have had to have work-experience as an IT Manager, to apply for jobs as an IT Manager.

But I think that's a bit strange.

Then it's like my years studying are wasted.

I studied in Sunderland, from September 2004 to February 2005, (I had to interrupt my studies, due to problems with my home university, Oslo University College, and Lånekassa, (the Study-loan bank in Norway), which made me lose focus, so I was very delayed with my studies, and found out, that the smartest thing would be to abort that study-year, especially since the university wanted to move me to another flat in the Forge as well, when some of the other students went back to their home-countries, then I would have more delayed jet, due to having to get to know new flat-mates etc. Since I was a lot delayed from before. So then I rather tried to find a job, before my money ran out).

So it's more than three years since I studied in Sunderland.

But I only graduated from my Home University, last year.

Do you think it's ok, if I ask the University for career-adivce then?

Since I think the Jobcentre lacks a bit competence in IT, to asses my skills, and help give me advice on what type of IT-jobs, to apply for.

(Because they don't even know how to write 'IT', they write 'It').

And they just want to have me working in a jewelers-shop, as an assisting manager, or in a shoe-shop, as an assisting manager.

And then I think, that my four and a half years of IT/Information Manager/Computing-studies are wasted.

And I've also been working ten years as a manager, in retail, in one of Norway's biggest companies, Rimi/ICA.

So I think that I also have valuable management/organisation and business-skills.

(I've also gone to business-school, at Upper Secondary-level, and have a National Diploma in Marketing, and also Information Management and Basis Commerce and Office work).

And the first University College I studied at in Norway, NHI, (now NITH); they also had a lot of business-modules, like Marketing, Economy and Management.

So I think could have a top-job, or director job even now.

But still the Jobcentre want's to put me in a shoe-shop, as a supervisor there.

But then I don't think I get to use my experience and qualifications.

But I'm not an expert on job-seeking and career-'stuff'.

So I'm trying to find someone who could help me with this.

Do you think it's ok for me, to contact the University's Career adivce-departement, even if it's a bit more than three years since I studied in Sunderland.

(But I was at Study Abroad, and graduated from my Home University, last year).

Sorry if I'm sending many e-mails!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

To: alumni@sunderland.ac.uk

Hi,

thank you very much for the membership-package, that I received in the post today!

I was a student, on the third year, bachelor, Computing, in 2004/05, on study abroad.

But I had some problems, with the study-loan bank, in Norway, but I got a foundation degree, from my home university, last year.

I also have an employement-case, against Bertelsmann Arvato's Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation, here in Liverpool:

http://www.scribd.com/groups/view/14830-arvato-services-ltd-s-microsoft-scandinavian-product-activation

I was wondering if you think you could please ask the Law-department, at the University, if they could please help me with my employment-case, as a pro bono-case, since I can't find any law firms, who can help me.

(I was very badly treated there, and they used illigal management methods, called reinforement there, and more, please see link).

Just something I thought about, when I received your membership-package today.

I'll also forward you a copy of my problems with the University and more, from 2005, which I've recently sent to the Students Union, at the university.

Hope this is alright, and thank you very much, for any help, in advance!

Best regards,

Hi again,

just thought of something here, if you at the Jobcentre want feedback.

That maybe the receipts, from the Jobcentre-machine, should have an own field, called 'Apply by date', or something like this, to avoid mix-ups, misunderstandings and/or plots like this, in the future.

Just a suggestion.

Since I'm going there anyway then, I mean.

I don't like to go to that Jobcentre more often than I have to, I'm sorry

That's why I hope you at the 'Contact-us'-departement could deal with

Hi,

I called Jobseeker Direct, on 0845 6060

234, and spoke with Darren there.

He told me, that the dead-line for

applying for this job, (Branch Manager, the Co-operative), with code

WSQ/130398, was 25/8.

Yet, yesterday, I was bullied/mobbed, I

think, by the Co-operative.

Because they

wrote:

Unfortunately that role has now been removed from the

vacancy list as a suitable candidate has been found

(In an e-mail

forwarded with this e-mail).

I suspect that's a lie, just to bully

me, (like I wrote to you yesterday, I used to work in a company owned by a

feared billionare, Stein Erik Hagen, in Norway, who knows George W. Bush,

etc).

And maybe Hagen didn't like it, that I quit working in his

Rimi food-shop chain, in Norway?

Something like this

perhaps?

The person, also told me to send my application to the

Co-operative food-shop e-mail address, even if I wrote the code, for the

job, from the Jobcentre, (WSQ/130398), on the subject line, in the

application e-mail.

And it said in the text for this vacancy,

that they wanted a person with retail-experience.

And then I, and

experienced retail-manager applies.

And then the person tells me,

that they only want mangers with experience from travel

agents.

(But they didn't write this, in the text in the vacancy,

from the machine at the Jobcentre).

So I think I'm being bullied by

the Co-operative here.

Have you got the power to investigate

employers?

Or have I got to bring that up with the employer

myself?

Thank you very much for your reply again!

Best

The Coop-representative, tells me, the

Hi,

I saw at the Jobcentre, that

you were searching for a Branch Manager.

I've been working as a Shop

Manager in Norway, (in three different Rimi food-shops), where I've

been managing up to 25 employees, in each shop.

I have a degree in

IT, at Higher National Diploma-level, and have also studied Information

Management with Business at university-level, in Norway.

I have

degrees on National Diploma level, from Norway, (from Upper Secondary

Business school), in Commerce and Office-work, Marketing and Information

Management.

I've also been working in the Norwegian Coop, at OBS

Triaden, (a big super/hyper-market, in the COOP-chain), in Lørenskog,

Norway, from 1990 to 1992.

I attach my CV, and hope to hear back from

you!

Yours sincerely,

6. august 2010

Mer om den jobben, som jeg ble trakassert av Coop, i forbindelse med at jeg søkte på

PS.

Jeg kan begynne med å fortelle litt om, hvordan det fungerer, på the Jobcentre.

Jeg har noe som heter ‘Jobseekers-agreement’.

Og der står det, at jeg må søke på jobber, på the Jobcentre, før mitt møte der, hver 14. dag.

Det har jeg lurt litt på.

For hos the Jobcentre, så er det ofte støy.

Så det hadde kanskje vært enklere, å søke hjemme.

For jeg har jo internett, så da får jeg opp de samme jobbene hjemme.

Men men.

Jeg la kan la det punktet hvile nå.

Men, mens jeg venter på å få snakke med en Jobcentre-medarbeider, på et av mine ‘sign-on’-møter.

(Som er annenhver torsdag).

Så står jeg og trykker på en maskin, hos the Jobcentre, og da kan jeg printe ut en sånn lapp, som den som jeg har tatt med, øverst i denne bloggposten.

Hvis jeg finner en jobb som jeg synes ser relevant ut, i det stresset og maset og kaoset som er på the Jobcentre.

Siden jeg er fra Norge, mener jeg, så er det ikke like enkelt for meg, å finne jobber som passer kjempebra, i full fart, på en sånn maskin, når det er 20-30 mennesker, (ihvertfall 10-20), inne i det lokalet, og jeg vet at jeg kommer til å bli ropt opp, når som helst, så jeg må kjappe meg å få printet ut en sånn lapp, ellers så kan jeg få kjeft, under selve sign-on møtet.

Men men.

Og da, så får jeg ofte en ny lapp i sign-on møtet.

Som hun Claire, (eller om det var Clare), som jeg hadde møte med, torsdag for en uke siden, på the Jobcentre, på Williamson Sq.

Hun Claire/Clare, hun sa det, at på de andre lappene, (som hun kan printe ut), så står det noen ganger mer informasjon, enn på de første lappene.

Så hun Clare, hun gikk og hentet to utskrifter til meg.

(Hun måtte gå to ganger, for den ene ble ikke skrevet ut, sa hun).

Men men.

(For hun fant også en annen jobb, for en gullsmed, på systemet sitt, for hun også ville søke litt etter jobber for meg, (av en eller annen grunn).

Men men).

Sånn her ser det arket som hun Clare printet ut, ut, (jeg har streket under ordet ‘retail’, dvs. varehandel på norsk):

PS 2.

Man kan se det, at det står noe med ‘retail’, på det arket, for den jobben ovenfor.

Og retail, det betyr varehandel.

Og jeg har jobbet ti år, som leder i varehandelen, (i mange Rimi-butikker i Oslo og omegn), i Norge.

Så jeg kan søke lederjobber innen retail, mener jeg.

Men når jeg sender søknad i dag, så blir jeg nærmest latterliggjort, siden jeg ikke har jobbet i reisebyrå.

Men det står det ikke noe om ovenfor, at jeg må ha jobbet i reisebyrå.

Så det var mobbing, mener jeg.

PS 3.

Dessuten, så gjorde jeg en jobbsøk-økt hjemme, på onsdag i forrige uke.

Så derfor tror jeg det, at jeg bare lette etter de dagsferske jobbene, forrige torsdag.

Så at denne stillingen, nå er for sen å søke på, det synes jeg høres merkelig ut.

Dette med denne stillingen var nok noe plott, fra noe mob, spesielt innrettet mot meg, mistenker jeg.

Siden jeg er en som illuminati, (er det f.eks. Stein Erik Hagen, som tuller? Likte han f.eks. ikke at jeg ville slutte i Rimi, og heller studere data, ved ingeniørhøyskolen? Jeg mener, Stein Erik Hagen, har jo vært gjest hos George W. Bush osv., har man kunnet se på nyhetene for et par år siden vel, og han er vel en av verdens rikeste personer osv., ihvertfall på topp 200 lista til Forbes vel? Johannes Hagen, (var det vel), som var direktør i Rimi, før han fikk sparken, for noen år siden, han sa jo det, (enda han er ganske kjent), at han var redd for Stein Erik Hagen, for han kunne tulle med livet hans, hvis han ville, siden Stein Erik Hagen hadde så mye makt og kontakter, osv. Er det denne makten og disse kontaktene som tuller med meg nå? Jeg bare lurer.), eller noe, gjerne vil ha ned da.

Og de kjenner vanene mine til punkt og prikke, og spionerer på meg, i møtene på the Jobcentre osv., og skriver ned når jeg gjør ditt og datt da.

I et forsøk på å få meg ned.

Noe sånt virker det ihvertfall som for meg, at foregår.

(Jeg viser til mine arbeidssaker i Norge og England, klagene til ICE, på the Jobcentre, nettopp i Williamson Sq., og generelt hele johncons-blogg, må jeg vel si).

PS 4.

Man kan også legge merke til det.

At i England, så har man ikke et felt, på ark for ledige jobber.

Hvor det står ‘søknadsfrist’.

Det hadde kanskje vært en ide.

Det vet jeg fra å ha sett stillingsannonser i aviser, og på Arvato og andre steder.

At det er vanlig å ha en kjent søknadsfrist, for jobber som utlyses.

Så det synes jeg er litt spesielt, at the Jobcentre i England, ikke opererer med en kjent søknadsfrist, for ledige jobber.

Så det var spesielt.

Men men.

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

Mvh.

Erik Ribsskog

PS 5.

Her er forresten den jobben, som hun Clare, fant om til meg, på sin datamaskin, forrige torsdag.

(Hun måtte gå to ganger, til printeren, pga. noe problem.

Så hun hentet bare et ark av gangen.

Og måtte gå to ganger.

Så det var kanskje litt merkelig.

Men men).

Her er mer om dette:

PS 6.

Jeg syntes det var litt rart, at hun ville at jeg skulle søke på den.

Jeg viste henne noe info, om graden min i IT, og at den var ‘level 5’.

Og at jeg ville søke IT leder jobber.

Så begynte hun å søke på dataen.

Også fant hun en gullsmed-jobb.

Så det passet jo ikke.

Så spurte hun om jeg hadde noe greie på det.

(Juveler osv).

Så svarte jeg, at det hadde jeg ikke.

Men jeg kunne sikkert lære.

Hun tok kopier av det om at graden min var ‘level 5’, men hun sa ikke hva hun skulle gjøre med det.

Men men.

Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

PS 7.

Her kan man se at jeg søkte den jobben da.

Siden jeg vel ellers kanskje hadde fått problemer med the Jobcentre igjen.

Jeg trenger jo de 65 pundene i uka.

Jeg har jo ikke noe formue, og jeg får jo ikke f.eks. arven min fra Norge, etter min mormor, som døde ifjor sommer.

Men men.

Hi,

now I've digested the meeting even more.

(Even if I'm still a bit down from it.

From being attacked again and again).

But, the meeting yesterday, was for me to explain, why the mix-up happened.

But, I had already explained about this, in the e-mail to you, from 1/7, which you sent to Jobcentre Willamson Sq.

So they shouldn't have had a 'crazy' meeting like this.

They should have just, simply, printed out my e-mail, with the explanation from 1/7, and sent to the Independant Examiner.

I don't understand why I had to explain about the same episode twice?

I don't think this makes any sense.

It's like Mr. Winther was ignorant, and ignored my inital e-mail about this.

I'm still a bit shaken from the meeting, I must admit, it was the most horrible meeting I've ever been at.

So that's why I'm sending you several e-mails.

Hope this is alright!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi again,

one of the reasons I think they should have prepared me more, for this meeting.

Is that sudently, they asked me, about something that happened on the first of July.

And I go to meetings at the Jobcentre every forthnight.

And some days, there are both meetings at Sencia and the Jobcentre.

So I don't remember exactly what happened on this and this date, in my head.

But they demanded an answer about a detail that happened on this and this date.

They didn't just accept my e-mail, where I explained what happened.

I sent an e-mail, where I explained in a normal way what happened, on the same day this insident happened.

It's like they didn't belive what I wrote in the e-mail then.

They also accused me of going to the meeting late.

They said I was supposed to go there at 9.30.

But that was the time, from before the Employement Zone meetings started.

I was told to go there at 11.15, a forthnight ago.

This with the time, seemed like they had constructed, to attack me, to make me feel uncertain, og paralysed, or something.

Because they attacked me time and again in the meeting, about different details.

When I had explained about this, in the e-mail I sent, a forthnight ago.

It wasn't like a civilised meeting, I think.

It was like in the army, if you were captured by the enemy.

And then interegated.

(Even if this hasn't happened to me, when I served my conscription service).

But from movies, I would think that's the only think I can think of, to compare it with.

It was almost like you wouldn't have been surprised, if a 'goon' had come there, with some electricity torture-machine.

Like one see in some movies, from Soviet-Russia etc.

I thought it was really horrible, so I wanted to complain about this, and sends this update to try to explain a bit more.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

today, (or yesteday, since it's after midnight), I was at an interregation, at the Jobcentre.

There was a mix-up, with the Sencia-meeting, a fourthnight ago, which I've explained about, what happened, in two e-mails, to this e-mail address.

I recieved a letter, from the new Jobcentre-manager, Mr. Winther, on Wednesday.

On Thursday, I was supposed to have an Employment Zone rewiev-meeting.

But, also Mr. Winther participated at the meeting, which took the form of an interregation, I would say.

I don't think it's right that they have a meeting with two people at the same time.

And the interregation wasn't scheduled eighter.

Since it was like a roasting, I think.

Or 'grilling', like we say in Norway.

I once had a meeting with the former Jobcentre-manger, Mrs. Hart, and she held that, in her office, at the 2. floor.

But Mr. Winther had like an interregation, in the Employment Zone review-meeting.

Also Mrs. Hart didn't have an assistant in her meeting.

But Mr. Winther had Gary there, to assist him.

So, I thought it was a bit unclear why there where two people there, in the meeting.

I think I should have received a letter about this special meeting, so that I could prepare for it.

It seems that every time I go to this Jobcentre, they do something wrong, like this.

I think it's like they have an agenda against me.

(And the same with ICE).

Also, Gary, in the meeting today, said that my Norwegian degree, which is comparable with a Higher National Diploma, is level 4.

But I checked on the DirectGow website, and it's really level 5.

So they are so in-competent there, I think.

And also, I think Mr. Winther, had a bit unfriendly character.

He spoke like an officer in the army, more than a business-person, I think.

I think he acts a bit to though.

Suddently, while I was standing, at the Jobseeker-machine, he almost attacked me, and told me he was the manager.

But I had no appointment to see the manager, so this surprised me a bit.

I think if the manager want's to have a meeting with a client at a Jobcentre, he should send a letter about this, in advance, so that the client can prepare for this.

Especially since he had an assistant there, Gary, and also since his mood was rather grim, I'd say, (if that's the right word).

So I wanted to complain about this, since it was like a surprise-attack, I think, regarding something I had really explained about earlier.

(In e-mails to this e-mail address).

I'm not sure if the attached those e-mails with my explanation, that they wanted in the meeting, for why I went to Sencia Pall Mall and not Sencia Hanover St.

But the problem was I hadn't been given a referal-letter, only a folder.

And I think the Jobcentre should put a ring, around the right address, in the folder.

Or use a marker-pen, like I know JET employabilitiy-team uses, to explain that my degree is comparable with a Higher National Diploma, etc.

So I wanted to complain about this horrible Jobcenter again, (I think I have to call it now).

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

thank you for your e-mail!

You write in your e-mail that I have been adviced that the meeting with Sencia was in Hanover St.

That isn't true.

I told Mrs. Smart, (like I wrote in my earlier e-mail), that I chose Sencia, since it was close to my home address.

In Leather Lane.

And then I refered to the Sencia Pall Mall address.

I haven't been notified about Hanover St., being the right address.

(Not as far as I can remember at least.

And like I've explained a couple of times:

I made a point of that the Pall Mall-address, is close to my home address.

I've noticed the Pall Mall-address, because my mother, Karen Ribsskog, (who died in 1999), she was an au-pair, in the UK, in the late 60's, and in the early 70's in Norway, she therefore smoked Pall Mall, and ate marmelade, and all-sorts etc, and drank tea etc).

I haven't recieved any Employment Zone referral letter, only the folder.

So here you are mis-informed, I am afraid.

I'll discuss this further in the Employment Zone meeting tomorrow.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Subject: Problems with the Employment-zone meeting/Fwd: New

review-meeting?

Hi,

now I was at Sencia, in Pall Mall, for the Employment-zone meeting, at

1.30 pm.

The only problem was, that while I tried to get the calling to work, in

that building, in Pall Mall 30-32, then someone told me, that they've

moved, to Hanover St.

Then I called Sencia, on 0151 236 1204.

And they told me, that the inductions would start in 5 minuttes, and

that it would probably take me 10-15 minuttes, to get to their new

address.

So Sencia told me to contact the Jobcentre, and get a new appointment.

So that's why I'm sending this e-mail.

And to complain about that your Employment-zone information-pack

litterature, should be up to date.

I remember telling Mrs. Smart, at Jobcentre, Williamsson Sq., that I

chose Sencia, among other things, that they were close to my address,

(in Leather Lane).

So I wasn't given the information about the new Sencia-address, by Mrs.

Smart eighter.

So this is a new complaint in the long line of complaints, that I've had

to send about Williamson Sq. Jobcentre.

Can you please explain how you can not have up to date litterature, in

you information-packs, about Employment-zones, after you didn't give me

the right information at first eighter, (like I've also complained

about, to this e-mail address, on 20/5).

Regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Subject: New review-meeting?

To: CONTACT-US@dwp.gsi.gov.uk

Hi,

almost a year ago, I received my university-level degree in IT, from my

'home-university', Oslo University College.

And I've mentioned this, from time to time, in sign-on meetings, at the

job-centre, (Williamson Sq.).

But, I was wondering.

Should one have a new review-meeting, if one get a new university-level

degree, (and a new jobseekers-agreement).

Also, I was wondering.

I have the internet at home.

Do I still have to use the machines at the Jobcentre, for the

job-search?

(I think it's better to do at home, because then there's less noise,

etc.).

I haven't got a regular contact-person, at the Jobcentre, so I thought I

could try to send an e-mail about this.

Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Yours Sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog
