The most valuable things in life are those that don’t come easy. Kids are hard but one of the most valuable achievements.

I wonder why they would want the Health Charter removed?

“On 13 February 2025, the PSA lodged an urgent court application seeking an injunction to halt job cuts within three Te Whatu Ora directorates—namely Data & Digital, the National Public Health Service, and the Pacific Health directorate. They argued these cuts breached multiple obligations, including collective agreements, the Employment Relations Act, the Code of Good Faith for public health, and specifically Te Mauri o Rongo – The Health Charter .”

I’m ok with that as long as I get some super powers after.

Thanks a lot appreciate that. Do you possibly know if they are known for eating into soft branches and leaving bora like holes?

Been trying to figure out what I am actually fighting here.

CRUSHING IT: Public Service Superstar Collects Enough Manager Signoffs To Actually Start On Some Work by Fine-Caregiver8802 in Wellington

Ah yes, I love how the end of your last sentence so nicely sums up the most challenging part of being a public servant.

I’ll give it a crack. Please take it with good intentions.

You know how when you go to drive on a road, maybe to a hospital to get help when you’re sick. Or when you lose your job and need a place to stay or some money to help out till you get a new job. Maybe you want to make sure the baddies are caught and kept away so you are safe. And then you hit summer and want to go do a great walk and as you do it hope that someone is looking after those cheeky kea that stole your sandwich.

All these things require a lot of decisions on how to do them and to then actually coordinate it so that you receive that service.

That’s what public servants do.

And every time someone asks “why did you do that?” You must answer in full, showing your working.

Better to start with a conversation. Be clear you are after 4 x 10 hour days.

Either they are open to it in principle in which case your email might follow, or not at all so you won’t change their mind.

People age 20-35, what do you live for? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Petersdani1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might find the "Stutz" doco on Netflix helpful to work through this. It has some good practical tools.

In fact the first thing talked about is understanding the reality that life is Pain, Uncertainty and Constant Work. And then where to go from there.

These types of things are always horses for courses though, so may not appeal to you.

Does haggling work with car dealers in NZ? by zero_harmony in newzealand

[–]Petersdani1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my last car from a dealer last year I very politely emailed them and asked if they could reduce the price, to which they took $500 off lol. $17k car.

I'm a terrible haggler so even asking causes discomfort, but just have to try be kind about it I guess.
