@GeirMunch @HCEkroll Norske diplomater hadde heller neppe tatt rutefly til Kabul i en slik sammenheng. Og da er jo argumentet om bruken av skattebetalernes penger rimelig tynt.

@AakreMoberg @siljet @edithpedit @unarv 1/2 Du har helt rett. Personer som f.eks er permittert fra en ikke 100%-stilling er for NAV å anse som reell arbeidssøker og må «være villig og i stand til å ta ethvert arbeid hvor som helst i Norge og til å delta i arbeidsmarkedstiltak».

@AakreMoberg @siljet @edithpedit @unarv 2/2 Et av disse tiltakene er at du som arbeidssøker skal søke på x-antall jobber i uken. Dette fører dessverre til et hav av helt meningsløse søknader fra søkere som hverken har interesse for, eller kompetanse til den aktuelle jobben.
