Good on you for sticking up for yourself! If you are searching online for jobs, and submitting them to your MyGov/Jobactive online account and doing so in the required time-frame, then the job agency has no right to bring you into their office and interrogate you like that. Hope everything goes well for you in the future. :)
What an utterly ridiculous stituation they placed you in. Fingers crossed you get something soon.
thank you for sharing this story. it all helps for us to understand that this is not US!!! it's them. Some years ago I did some voluntary work for the BSL (yes, i should have known better) anyway after almost a year of regular unpaid labour with all sorts of OHS violations, valuables stolen (including my reading glasses), all sorts of spiteful mean things they brought on board a new manager. Obviously she needed to "flex some muscle and get these volunteers under control" so after a week, not knowing any of the goings on in that store, she confronts me one morning, on the floor (in front of customers and staff) and accuses me ...of things (no need for details). Anyway i think, their management will fix this surely, but no. Area manager threatens me with the police. I call police when i get home, they laugh but say, unfortunately, if the BSL puts in a report they will have to pick me up and bring me into the station and get a statement... my word against th e almighty, god fearing, kind and compassionate words of the Brotherhood of St Laurence. Yeh, right! BAtards! and Hypocrites!! By the way, in case you're wondering, i am almost too honest for my own good.
...which is probably why i could never get a paid job there.
