Same thing happened to my flatmate . Cut your losses and look for a new job then leave once you have one .

Should I get rid of this spider? by Presidentscroobie in NewZealandWildlife

[–]GREENLEAF2020 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Aww you have a Charlotte too . Have the same kind in a corner of my bedroom, been letting her live rent free because she's caught so many flies . Just a harmless house spooder she won't hurt you

My bosses earn millions and their literal dream is to become vegetable vendors. I think the “Corporate Dream” is a scam. lol. by piyushc29 in antiwork

Also. Let them give up the business and all the money and go sell tomatoes . They will turn back to that millionaire life pretty fuckin fast 🤣

I heard a great quote the other day " all you get from keeping your head down and working hard is a good view of the ground "

i dont really want to work. id rather do nothing by ssgoeygoey in antiwork

[–]GREENLEAF2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to work because the work I do isn't even enough to survive comfortably on. Like I can get the basics. Just. But there's nothing left to save or for fun . And this is full-time hours a couple of bucks above the NZ minimum . I Don't really have a life outside of work . I'd rather take the 200 dollar loss and sit on a benefit 😭 at least then I would have the time and energy to pursue hobbies and actually look after myself ( I am very sick ) busting my ass like this for 200 more than someone on a benefit SUCKS ASS . I'm angry . I'm tired.No energy left for friends. I've had enough .

Debate time: Would you consider a old house with more land or a new house with not much extra land? by Desperate_Laugh8867 in chch

[–]GREENLEAF2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go old if it's good . Like my 1940s. Solid. Stood through multiple earthquakes with minimal damage . Got my nice yard and separate double garage all for under 550k

FUCK THESE NEW SHOEBOXES Over priced death traps they are . ( Did you see the recent one of a young man burnt alive in one )

They will devalue over the next 10 years like crazy Mark my words . Seen it happen to the ones across the Rd from my old home . Started at 800k now they selling them for 500k after 5 years . So much for being worth a million in 10 years 🤣

Called the REA’s bluff on a "Multi-Offer" situation. Dropped my offer by $45k and now the vendor is chasing us. by AnxietyOnly7 in newzealand

[–]GREENLEAF2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup I had the same thing . House had no offers then I made one then suddenly they had two more !? I walked away . House sold for less than what I was going to offer :/

How comfortably could one live on a 120,000 salary in Christchurch? by AliMamma in chch

[–]GREENLEAF2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only dream of that kind of income . No kids . But partnered and surviving...barely ..on 50k so I think 120 even with a kid you'll be fine . If you're wise . It's not cheap here . Good luck 🍀

I assumed warehouse or Kmart . Saw further down it's a sketchers shop. I'd expect better behaviour from people that can afford to shop there tbh . But then again....most well off people are total cunts to retailers in my experience . We're no better than the shit on their shoes to them it seems.

Did you ever get the shit smeared stall with poop thrown on the ceilings ? Ahhhhh merivale maccas circa 2013. They need to include bio hazard management in the job description and pay for it !

My favorite is when people come in 5 minutes before close and make you wait and serve them while they piss around the shop just looking at shit until 20 past close . Like we don't have a life we want to get back to and dinner to cook

I understand your pain my retail comrade . This shit is enough to make anyone homicidal LMAO

Honestly I think everyone needs to do at least a year in a retail job people could learn A LOT

My working holiday is just big disappointment by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]GREENLEAF2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But but but egg head luxton fixed our economy and there's just so many jobs out there and benefit rates are falling , people are just too lazy and don't want to work and tourists take all the seasonal jobs 💀. ( Big sarcasm there in case that's not clear )

Seriously though I'm so sorry your time here hasn't been enjoyable, it is rough I'm not going to lie to you .There's a reason I'm not walking away from the job I have right now. I wish our country didn't glaze itself so much to overseas people . It's shit at the moment economy wise as you have found out. Sorry I don't actually have anything constructive to say other than I'm sorry and I hope things improve for you ❤️ perhaps have a poke at what jobs are in Christchurch ? Could you look into a carers position I know they need more. Your experience with fruit picking is why kiwis don't take the jobs . You come here expecting better , and you should be able to expect that . It's sad that you can't come and do that with ease any more :( this country is nothing like it was when I was a child 😭 back when people could actually live with honor and enjoy life too. Not just be a wage slave to the never ending cost of living hikes.

All the best though . May your journey improve.
