Today, I was dismissed from my job at an unemployment agency. In order to receive financial support from the government I need to be cooperating with a job service provider. They paired me up with the same place I was just fired from. FML

Surely you can be assigned to a different one if you tell them the situation.

Ooooh... Yikes. Kick some ass & take some names, & make them regret firing you, OP! Hope things get better.

I suppose I should know better than to give anyone the benefit of the doubt on the Internet. :P

Yes, I meant metaphorically. I'm sorry if my comment was misleading, haha, wow, that was a lot of negative feedback. I wasn't trying to imply assault. I apologize!

I know a lot of people who immediately go on to unemployment once they get fired. So benefits are not a mark of struggles, but the prevention of them in some cases.

Easier said than done sometimes. Centrelink seems to be there just to make life difficult! Good luck OP

At least you are all on a first name base. Silver lining?

Maybe you can ask to be assigned to a different place?

When I was first sent to one of these 45, I was sent to a branch far from my house. I ask to swap to a different one for convenience and the did it, so I'm sure in this case they'd be more than happy to. The transfer goes through the job provider itself not Centrelink so there shouldn't be annoying delays.
