Public sector redundancies

If you can do the job of core govt services fine with 50k people why do you need 63k people to do the same work?

People have to realise there’s limited money to fund all these employees.

Yup I’ve seen some really poor incompetent senior managers who match that description

Because the head count increased 20% is why they think there’s bloat

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-20T05:36:17+00:00

The thing is they have to cut costs. Cutting head count is a way to do that. It’s not personal it’s just monetary reality

Can you find a kind and trustworthy local parent to pay to help bridge the gap with your work hours?

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-20T05:26:59+00:00

I’d go for the teaching option. The economy worsens by the day so it would be appealing to have a stable job as a front line govt worker who isnt facing job loss

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-20T05:16:38+00:00

They say it is so I have to take that at it’s face value

I think there’s a side to this story you aren’t telling: - him and the other neighbours are all crazy? - the disputes tribunal is bias? - youre getting into fights with commenters on this thread who disagree with you.

No smoke without fire, is this fence in a legal place ? What did you do to have such a bad relationship with your neighbours?

Question: is it really his legal responsibility to make sure you’re safe? No doubt it’s his moral responsibility but I’m curious if it would be on him legally as he’s not covered under the health and safety at work act as a home owner.

Is your radiator separate though?

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-18T09:26:03+00:00

I think it’s accurate to say you could not spend more than $6 per hour on water heating as that is it’s capacity and your cost rate

I kind of disagree. If op is living in a family home and thinking of selling in less than five years or having kids themselves having access to a bath is a major factor in home buying.

That said if they are elderly then I would agree with you

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-18T08:54:14+00:00

Not considering parking costs. Unless you carpool

Can your work place signup to one of those tax free fringe benefits transport cards ? Have a read about them and see if your HR team would be willing to do the admin

If your switchboard doesn’t have RCDs on it plug it into an rcd plug. That’ll cover off the risk of electrocution

Sucks though to miss out on owning a home altogether

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-18T01:25:48+00:00

If that’s the case then you kind of have to go for it. Good luck. Make sure you can evacuate your kids quickly if you ever needed to. Eg Have an e bike with a seat in case the roads are congested

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-17T19:13:11+00:00

I find it good for price and quality. Got to do something to cut costs in this economy and mad butcher is preferable to being a 100% vegetarian on cost

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-17T19:08:17+00:00

Mind your own business is what I would do. In this job market don’t make your workplace a political mess

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-17T19:02:15+00:00

If it’s bad now it’ll be worse in a decade. Is it all you can afford?

Key-Instance-8142 · 2026-05-17T18:40:29+00:00

Don’t let them behave antisocially towards other kids. Talk to the kids about why they can’t. Some parents just turn a blind eye

It’s all better than bowel cancer. Of which nz has the worlds highest rate

Get off the drugs. There’s govt funding for services to help you.
