or up the anti on public transport, make it easier, snapper card for trains, increase parking at train stations, make sure there is plenty of lighting, cameras for safety. Loos at stations would be a good idea!
spot on. you are brave, from a mother of an adult child who has had multiple diagnoses since he was 3 years old and has never been eligible for any support or assistance. people start telling you stories everywhere you can. be overheard in cafes, spell it out on facebook make submissions to the inquiry, speak up!
i always feel ripped off. the retail price plus the massively reduced price makes me feel like a) they think Im an idiot for believing that they can reduce the price by around 50% and not have me understand that their profit in the first has to be over 50% and b) that there is at least one other person besides me in the supply chain that is being seriously ripped off. the sad part is its mostly at the cost of overseas workers in sweatshops.
i really cant get my head around what happens when there is no desk for you? you dont work.. get fired for not working? or perhaps you sit at a table in their kitchen hunched over a laptop ruining your neck and shoulders?
good move, bonuses are a short term reward for short term results. next step stop with the 3 year contracts, 3 year contracts = 3 year results. this is no appropriate for core government (health, education, police).
i find this fascinating. i know these people are there to make a profit, however the really interesting part is when you compare some of these numbers to the $70 WINZ says it costs to feed 1 adult for a week. just interesting.
poor mental health or illness is NOT a criminal issue. it is a health issue. stop treating unwell people as criminals and locking them up. Start helping!
just read that article. when it was suggested the employer groups were partly to blame for reduced business confidence i believe it was called victim blaming... seeing the same thing here
meanwhile, on Shortland St, chris warner gets his very young PA preggers, curtis is a policeman after like a stint in prison and about 2 weeks of training, and something else and something else !!!
i like your note about recruiting the right positions. perhaps we will see the end of entire functions being run by huge consulting companies at enormous expense to the tax payer as well.
its a bit worse than that. if you run down a business in this way in the private sector it would be called asset stripping. this then is painted as a public service that is failing, an then, you get to outsource! of course to their cronies!
i would really like to know this as well. i suspect the answer would be extremely complex as it appears the claims that have been settled arent putting the issues to bed. i suspect the answer doesnt lay with money at all, lets think prison population, mental illness stats, homelessness ethnicity pay gap and in all honesty the list could go on forever. the reality is, i suspect, more to do with the way we continue to treat each other.
unemployment us at 30% for the 30 year and under demographic. the solution to this is not simple as the cause is to do with jobs available nothing to do with our youth. the more people shove their heads in the sand about this the harder it will be to fix it. the number is jobs available is decreasing for a number of reasons none of which are bad. stop regurgitating old solutions, address the problem of work.
this is it in a nutshell. and if they get into the gig mentality then they can start paying $5 for a logo. good luck to them and i feel sorry for the people who get sucked into it.
all those experienced candidates were made redundant and immediately jumped on the contractor band wagon. as soon as agencies stop hiring contractors they will all be on the job market again .
and by giving the dudes at the top huge increases which then inflated the percieved increase to the public sector. the folk working at the coal face are not paid better than private sector.
sounds like a sensible solution to a difficult problem, most importantly treats your regular and trustworthy customers with respect and not like a thief.
well i have to say a shallow 7+ earthquake... how do we even know there would be a hospital, at all or in its entirety. i dont see how any of this would be effective. whos to say staff would be able to get there at all? seems their emergency plan assumes integrity of building, having staff available...
and i could easily put forward the argument that dropping the price if cigs would reduce cig related crime.. this is nonsense. if you can sell cigs for half price with no outlay, then you are well on your way to feeding the kids, buying a decent heater, and paying your power bill.
its nothing to do with money all to do with political mileage. discussions about pay with teachers can now be approached with a holier than thou attitude.
hold on wait!!! sticky note???? are they referring to post its that are the coolest things ever invented or are they referring to one note, the sticky note app that is part of office 365 - the latest and greatest from microsoft?IT systems dont ever fix stupidity, incompetence or even simple overwork!
how can anyone working in the public arena ever think spending 1mil on a tv could ever be a good idea? perhaps they could blame the TV for getting it wrong.
great response which will create a LOT of free marketing. at the end of the day if it looks like it will cost them they just agree no to use hello, there are plenty of acceptable kiwi alternatives!
and there you hit the issue on the head. Im betting that if you were to scrutinise the increases over the last few years all those increases have gone to the top 2 tiers of the organisations. the very people who the rest of the organisation has lost faith in.
well there arent to many local courthouses left, now people are conferencing in while on remand or are having to travel to the nearest courthouse. when the people in the tower loose sight of the fact that the courthouse, if nothing else, needs to be accessible to those who use it. totally agree the people in the system need to be allowed to fix it. the towers have no clue.
