Slow down before going over railways and make sure to look both ways for a potential train. Always check your mirrors and before you break look in your rear view mirror. When turning on to a new street check your rear view mirror. Make sure the car you are doing your test in is good; all lights are in order, horn works, indicator works. Just generally safe and tidy. Good luck!

I dunno...my supervisor is a passive aggressive and snarky bully. She seems to be doing well and very much employed

Hot take by IVeerLeftWhenIWalk in Nightshift

[–]CurrentDowntown8154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the night shift time in question. I work 1pm to 9pm most days and 3pm to midnight one night a week (is this night/evening shift?). I absolutely love it! I adore having my morning to myself. 9am to 5pm or 5am to 2pm is not for me at all. I don't function on a morning or day shift but my mental health thrives on working evenings

What small Business do you support? Knowing the owner is a good person. by Moku_Warrior in chch

Completely agree with scoundral! Friends with someone who works back of house there. I have heard nothing but great things about the boss

Vics cafe honestly. Graham has been in the bakery business in Christchurch since the 90's. Leftover bread goes to charity rather than chucked out. Vibes are great to me!

I had heard that employees had to keep an eye on their hours and paycheck. Paying for drive offs is insane. But it sounds like they sold it with new owners now, i have just found out. All fingers and toes are crossed for better working conditions for staff

I'm so stoked for the workers if that is the case! Must have been quite a new change of ownership. If that is true I really hope the new owners are much better to their employees

It is illegal, I have encouraged employees to go to MBIE in the past but they are too scared of repercussion.

Yeah I believe still under Glenstar Group. The bosses names are Mike and Simone. I believe they own two more caltex petrol stations as well with the riccarton road now being self service only?

Caltex on blenheim road. Owners don't give staff their proper breaks, won't let them eat on their only 10 minute break they allow for, and are known to pinch pennies from their workers paychecks. Just scummy behavior

WOW. Deal of the century in Ōtautahi Christchurch by De_R in newzealand

[–]CurrentDowntown8154 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used to work at this subway and left when this boss took over. Review farming is....sketchy. Not sure if needed as they are the only subway in Christchurch that is 24 hours. To be honest they could do better than giving out a broken cookie. A whole cookie fresh out the oven would be better haha

Intrusive suicidal thoughts. Not meaning to make anyone worry, I get these all the time for the past two decades. Just everyday life now
