I may be over reacting and pfb about this so prepared to be told so.
DS 18 is at college, 13.5 hrs a week so needs a job as well.
After many many applications he got a job at a bakery, night shifts on £4 per hour which ended when he turned 18 and his nmw increased risk
Next he got an interview and two day training course to sell heating boilers.
No salary, all commission, no expenses, he needed a suit and it was doorstep selling..... exactly where people buy boilers
Then he started work at a nearby factory on the production line. A zero hour contract where he turns up at 6am to be either put to work or sent home. He hasn't had a shift for four weeks, he gets up at five and goes to wait at the gates and is also charged £3.50 per week admin, whether he works or not
Now on Wednesday he has an interview for a pot washing job, it's a care home staff bank and they told him he will need a DBS certification which he has to pay £65 for! To wash pots!
I'm older and luckily have had the same job forever so no clue but surely we are doing something wrong?
It's costing Him money to try and go to work.
I'm thoroughly pissed off.
AIBU?
