It's not just Apples fault though, our gov here are attrocious at doing everything in their powers to fluff numbers, currently our unemployment figures are at their lowest in years.... that said all that happens now if you are unemployed here is you get shoehorned into a course to teach you some skills to help you get a job, when I came out of work for a year in IT I was being pushed into a 6 month course on ECDL, just so that I would not be "unemployed" technically, these courses are of course paid for by the Gov and you get the same unemployment payment for their duration, but as long as you aren't technically unemployed the Gov are fulfilling their duties to keeping people in jobs.... it's pathetic here it really is.
For anyone who doesn't know btw, ECDL is the European Computer Driving Licence, it is basically a course to show you how to turn on a PC, open internet explorer and send an email. Course of that going on here for 6 months, that is from people who know I'm a certified IT support staff member, MS certified and CompTIA, literally being shown how to plug in a PC just so I'm not "unemployed" |
Could you not believe the useless propaganda fed to you please. It's just plain silly. If you don't like how it is being unemployed in Ireland, try another country, where you get nothing! You are literally whining about getting a free education and how you get unemployment for free and help too up skill. Also your "technical" unemployment statement is completely false and something that SF (the political IRA populist filth) would utter which is absolute nonsense. You were still being paid unemployment, a social welfare payment, so you were on the live register. 100% and I am sure of that.
Fyi, it took me 2 weeks at 3 hours per week to do ecdl. If you were unemployed, and getting free money, it's not really within your remit to be whining about being too good for the education provided. You need to take a deep breathe, step back and realise that you are deepening the Irish stereotype of wanting everything for free while whining about it. You have exaggerated beyond belief above and you have ranted your sweet hatred for your country. I on the other hand love my country, I think you should be happy to be handed free money when you were unemployed while in the USA you'd be homeless and handed nothing. And if you couldn't get a job, do whatever they say to keep your free money. And NO ecdl doesn't take 6 weeks. And if you didn't like it, stop taking the dole or get a job!! Either that or enroll in college, claim back to education allowance and get a free spring board scheme. Let me guess? You'll exaggerate about that too and claim some kind of nonsense. Makes me furious! The only thing wrong with your story above is that they gave you money for doing nothing and then offered a free education course to you, and you didn't appreciate it. You wanted to sit at home playing video games!!
