CommonSpace columnist Fraser Stewart recalls why he left the "best job" hed ever had in a UK job centre
I WORKED in the job centre, in a previous life. To this day I maintain it was the best job Ive ever had, as short-lived as it was. After just 18 months, I handed in my notice and left a workplace that had, until that point, felt like home.
I left for one reason and one reason alone – the coalition government taking office in 2010. In a matter of what seemed like seconds my role had changed from getting people into work, to cutting the welfare bill by any means: from merciful to mercenary; helping hand to hired gun.
