On Saturday around 2pm I had my work van broken into in the carpark of my local golf course. It's situated on a main road, the course was super busy and somehow no one saw a fucking thing. 9 grand worth of tools gone because some junkie needs their fix, and to make matters worse the Police are fucking useless. The writings been on the wall for awhile that everything is fucked, but this seems like a whole new low.

Thank fuck for insurance, a few of my tools were gifts or just random things I've accumulated over the years so chances are I won't get everything back but it won't be far off. Truly the only saving grace from this situation.

I love avoiding the news. But why? For me, due to the lack of quality of reporting, click bait, opinion articles and constant inaccuracy in every article. All adds to zero trust. Anyway - enough about me and my issues! This is an interesting bit of research (which was shared with me) and why people tend to avoid the news.

I'm reaching out to the community for support as one of the 6,000 former public servants affected by recent cuts. After eight months of searching and applying for numerous roles, I’ve found it challenging to even secure an interview. Despite confirming with multiple recruitment agencies that my CV and cover letters are well-targeted and reflective of my experience, the opportunities have not materialized.

I’ve been relying on my payout during this period, but it has now run out. As a result, I’ve had to apply for Job Seeker assistance—something I never imagined needing to do, but it’s a reality many of us face in these times.

My experience spans across a range of fields including Customer Service, Training, Operational Management, Service Design (UX and UI), Process Improvement, Project and Product Management, and Strategic Delivery. I also bring strong soft skills such as Communication, Relationship Management, Coaching and Mentoring, Stewardship, Conflict Management, and a genuine passion for customer care and team leadership.

If anyone has advice, connections, or knows of opportunities where I could contribute my skills, I would deeply appreciate your support.

I live in the Wairarapa/Wellington Thank you

I see a thousand people protested in Barcelona, public money spent on the rich arrogant pr1cks who are quite capable of funding their own big toy racing, was too much for the good people of Barcelona to tolerate.

We saw enough of their arrogance in Chch when the sail gp came to town. Lets be honest it only because NZ wins that anyone gives Two sh1ts about it. The whole thing is pretty abhorrent when you look at the vast sums spent on what is essentially billionaires playing with their toys.

Hopefully no more public money will be used on this, in this economic environment it is just an insult to tax payers.

I work at MBIE and although it's not my team, my colleagues just found out today that the Small Business Services unit is to be axed, and most jobs will be disestablished. My colleagues are gutted, to say the least.

Me, I just don't get it. 97% of New Zealand businesses are small business. And the reason our deficit is growing is because our income is being outstripped by our expenses. One of the groups within SBS is Digital Boost which has trained over 55,000 small businesses on how to get online / improve their online presence and how to digitally market themselves. Their next cab off the rank was going to be helping SMEs harness the power of AI to become more productive as business adoption of AI in NZ is lagging behind many other OECD countries. So that's now gone ... The business.govt.nz newsletter is also in jeopardy and that was a good disseminator of important business information.

Surely such investment in NZ's small business growth is important to help boost New Zealand's income to offset our increasing expenditure? It shouldn't all just be cuts to balance the books.

Also, didn't this coalition promise that only back-office jobs were going to be axed? I wouldn't class many of the upset and shocked people today as having back-office roles.

Edit: OK I probably shouldn’t have mentioned AI, it was just one of the many topics the DB team were going to provide training on (I thought it was cool, but I guess AI is still very divisive) … The gist of what I wanted to say is that for a government that claims to be so pro-business, not supporting the backbone of our economy (small business) with the types of initiatives that arguably help them grow seems very wrong to me.
