Work doesn't pay these days so there's not much point in breaking one's back to do it. Also not all available jobs are suitable for everyone

Let's look at the job searching situation. For a lot of people, job hunting is a job in itself. Spending countless hours filling out long applications for hundreds of jobs only to get rejected anyway.

That doesn't send a message that work pays. It sends the message that you are disposable and replaceable in this economy, irrespective of your potential.

lol I have a friend like this who uses the most pathetic of excuses to try to justify never doing anything at all

"Refused" can mean a lot of things, according to the DWP.

Wheelchair bound and won't take a job on the second floor in a building with no lift? "Refused".

Dealing with crippling social anxiety and unable to access mental health care? "Refused".

Single parent and only offered minimum wage jobs that will leave you worse off after child care? "Refused".

Caring for a disabled relative and unable to leave them to destroy your mind and body at the Amazon warehouse? "Refused".

And so on.

Lists like this one are fun to read because you notice where they start to run out of reasons. Yeah I get 'crippling social anxiety' too in a new job. It's intimidating to begin with but you get over it. Oh, and most of those points are nonsense anyway, for example https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance if you're full time looking after someone.

I think many young and jobless probably are seeking jobs, but are just unable to get anything long term (see the UKjobs subreddit where young people are constantly asking why companies won't hire them).

People are just lazy and don't want to do shit. I NEETed for years and so I know how it goes. They should ask ex-NEETs about it instead of all the r-slurred excuses that NEETs come up with.

Its generally speaking trivially easy to not get hired for a job if you don't want it though. Write a garbage CV and blow any possible interview by appearing like a work shy moron.

Employers don't want to hire people who don't want to work anyway, and its not hard to get that message across in a way were you are still fulfilling your obligation to look for and accept any work.

And if you against all odds get hired anyway, just do a bad job and get fired for it.

Shit even with a shit cv you get jobs. I remember sending a unfinished cv with more than half missing and just few titles they still called me for work

Then do the job poorly and you'll get fired all the same. When I was just out of high school I'd do this with telemarketing jobs. Because frick those, scamming the elderly is being more of a burden on society than being unemployed.

Write a garbage CV

:#marseyclueless: It's so easy you don't even have to try. Apply to any entry or junior position with under 2 years of experience.

That list of DWP refusals is absolute bullshit. The DWP is obscenely gameable and everyone I know who works as a case manager says it's just rubberstamping eternal dole if someone manages to bullshit their way through a PIP assessment.

Growing up in a council estate near a major DWP office filled me with burning insatiable hatred for workshy wasters.

I did exactly that for about 2 years until they started making me go to some kind of training sessions which consisted of some guy telling us obvious stuff all day like don't submit job applications with the email bigdickdave@s*x.com. Which in retrospect is a great idea, if someone's not going to work, at least waste as much of their time as a job would.

:marseyagree: diagnosed with fibromyalgia and not afforded the liberty of a healthy work-life balance? "Refused".
