It’s such a scam. My poor Mum was put into that system as she wasn’t quite retirement age. She had a nice concise CV which they said needed improving. The agency produced a 5 page CV, mostly waffle & full of spelling errors. Total grifters, toying with our most vulnerable.

Appalling & frankly terrifying, essentially extorting employees to pay their employer for their jobs. How the heck is that even legal? @sallymcmanus.bsky.social

Likewise I’m a big fan of renewables & I enjoy the benefits of our rooftop solar.
Just joining the dots… Building a new stadium requires a cash strapped State to cut other services & increase income where possible.
