Re all those who have been recruited and failed to turn up. Many of them will have been recruited from the ranks of the unemployed, and I hope G4S lets the dole office know so that their benefits can be stopped.
Everyone I met during this voyage into lunacy, who had been previously unemployed, had signed off
before attending training. (as the training days would be paid days.....but paid only when at least 5 shifts had been completed)
But if no one contacts you after your training or you are "Number 96 in the queue" on a call to the call centre that's costing you money by the minute
Yes it is sh*t for the guys dragged in off leave but there are 1000's out there who had put their lives on hold (and off the dole) since Feb/March waiting for non existant emails and phone calls. This debacle is entirely the fault of G4S management. But of course it will be the dick at the end of the stick that gets the blame.
