My son who is 18 in September has been on a couple of training schemes since he left school as he doesn't just want to take any job he wants to train in something.
He's been with a firm for a few months now and has been getting up at 6 every morning and not getting back in till after 5 and not getting a penny for it, he gets £30 a week EMA.
They told him last month that there would be a job for him on 3 august, at last he thought all those unpaid months had paid off.
They have just announced this morning that everyone is getting laid off.
He's now back to square one.
I feel so sorry for him, he has dyspraxia so school wasn't easy for him and I was so pleased when he seemed settled on this scheme and the promise of a job.
There rant over, just had to share with someone.
 
Sorry to hear that.
It annoys me too when employers lead their staff up the garden path.
Had he been given anything in writing? (re 3rd August)
 
Life can be so crule at times.
I am sure he'll find something else to do and now he has the experience and he should get a good reference from them for any interviews he goes to.
Wish him luck from me.
