“Unemployment drives me more than anything else.” This final observation is Serge*, forty and a career in the social field, which delivers it. “While I was going through a difficult period after a dismissal, at the Regional Placement Office (Orp), I found myself in front of a person who made me no proposal, who refused all my training requests,” he said, disappointed. The Genevan denounces interviews sent in fifteen or twenty minutes instead of the thirty planned, an advisor who constantly complains about her workload, and multiple hassles that he cannot be explained. “She refused for example that I apply in certain structures on the pretext that they were too large or too far away.”
Another illustration of the vexations he faces: when he obtains a foundation by his own initiative to undergo training two days a month in his field of activity, his advisor tells him that he has no right and that she will seize the legal service of Orp. “It was a whole pataquès so that I was not ultimately penalized and that I do not lose days of compensation,” he recalls. The message that comes out is that you have to do everything properly not to find work, but not to be sanctioned. ”
