Based on how he reacted it should have been
He would have to be told to sit in the chair and then you point at the chair you require him to sit in.

Re: Unpaid workschemes are illegal
My apologies - I misread "take a chair" for "take the chair" ("take the chair is a colloquialism for running a meeting (being the chairperson)).

Like Cait Reilly, I learned one thing from stacking shelves and packing boxes: jobs like these are only worth doing for money

On the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Iain Duncan Smith suggested that many "smart people" overlooked the importance of effective shelf-stacking.
|
Quote:
|
"The next time somebody goes in - those smart people who say there's something wrong with this - they go into their supermarket, ask themselves this simple question, when they can't find the food they want on the shelves, who is more important - them, the geologist, or the person who stacked the shelves?"

Mr Duncan Smith argued that "most young people love" their work experience placements.
|
Quote:
|
The scheme had been launched to help young people trapped in a vicious circle where they could not get a job because they did not have any experience on their CVs, he said.

That would get people like Anjem Choudary to stop sponging from us for a start.....
