preamble:
I have been running my own company for coming onto 11 years, and work as a freelance software developer, and also as a recruiter in my niche area.
I have been interacting with this site for a few months.
question:
I have noticed there have been a few threads about Job Seekers Allowance, and getting govt to pay stuff (the details escape me), and I wonder if this is a new phenomenon?
What I mean is, I thought we were freelancers, independent business owners, etc.
I don't understand what appears to be a tendency to fall on govt help the moment a gig ends.
I am sure there are individual circumstances, etc, but shouldn't govt help be a last resort?
What would be the trigger for you to seek additional govt help in your search for a gig?
