In my time at the DWP I saw them go from a single robot automation processing forms to over a thousand. I didn’t see any substantial pay rise, and in the end saw them doing mass job cuts this year at processing centres.
All the “it’ll free up our workers to skill up elsewhere” talk was just bs, and I left the civil service. It felt unethical to be part of automating jobs in a public sector role which then led to the public losing job opportunities.
Good luck to them.
About time DWP gets a bloody good sanctioning, what comes around goes around eh
Probably the one place where I’d not support the strikes, just from association with the name and how they constantly fuck people over regarding disability benefits etc.
So will people waiting for their PIP decisions have to suffer longer wait times, including having their mobility cars snatched off them because it’s taken too long for one of the penpushers to make a decision? I’ve no sympathy for DWP strikers given they make the lives of people a lot poorer than themselves fucking miserable
This might be the first set of workers that I don’t support. Not after the way they’ve been treating people seeking help.
