The problem with these “welfare to work” programs is that the people often lack basic job skills; they are a constant source of tension with real workers. For many, welfare was to be the career (and pregnancy in high school was a key factor in that); actual learning never fit in the plan.
Seeing them attempt to work is very disheartening; I could imagine what they feel like. The inferiority complex it produces inevitably leads to lashing out...
I have seen many of these people in the past. They not only don't have an inferiority complex they have a superiority complex. They think they should be treated like gold as if they were the store manager not a new hire at the bottom of the ladder.
They think being asked to mop their area is "disrespecting" them. They also think everyone who is successful has been lucky not realizing that the harder one works the "luckier" they tend to get.
