He has no idea about man management, he's an arrogant arse but gets double the respect that his team gets.

Who in your life rubs you up the wrong way?

Omg, so many people. How much time do you have?

What even me love?

Humanity.

Some of my clients, mostly The lazy end of The bunch. But also one guy who tries but is just not strong enough to do what he'd doing correctly. In a way i admire his trying, but i'm still going to have to enlist him for local social economy, rather than The regular jobmarket. His employment has been such a bother, damn you wouldn't believe it.

So do you work for an employment agency?

I work as a social assistant, for the Public centre for Social Welfare, for the Flemish government. ('Openbaar centrum voor Maatschappelijk Welzijn', in Dutch.)
I have about 60 cliëntsystems (families), though I should have about 50.
It's diverse work. Making sure they are entitled to social welfare or not, through a social investigation, helping them through projects and administration to get their lives sorted and get activated (finding work most often), helping with financial problems such as debts and  shortages leading to a need for an exceptional aid, controlling their funds if necessary, helping them get other allowences, providing social assitance and guiding to social an societal integration.
About twelve of my cliënts are currently employed under 'Artikel 60' a full fledged employment through us as the employer, but on the workfloor of a social-economy organisation. It's for minimum wage, but allows them a chance at 'learning' to work for up to a year, a year-and-a-half or two years (depending on their age). The environment they start this employment in is more lax and forgiving than a company in the regular jobmarket would be. For instance I have a client who hasn't shown up for over a week, nor let anything be known about his reason or duration for absence, who isn't fired for this. (He isn't payed either, but he can continue.) And it's our job to then make him understand how important it is to be clear about these things and try to get him to learn from this for the future. The goal is to prep them for a 'real' job by the end of their run. But in some cases, social employment or sheltered workshops are about the highest our cliënts can hope for.
