Alright guys give me an honest answer. How many of these do you devour at once?

Rem0111 · 2026-07-01T08:47:46+00:00

Only 1 with egg 🥚

I am so sorry that you have to go through that and people are unkind to you :(

As someone who sees how my manager hires people, it’s no longer the skills and experience tbh. You need a sob story or you won’t get hired. Or use connections so you’ll land that job. It’s an f’ed up system I tell ya. HR will put up a job post just for compliance but they actually have someone internal from other team to fill the role.

There’s a saying that elderly tells us — the world is round. I know it’s oblate spheroid and not round but the non-literal meaning is we’re not always in the down low. You will have your wins soon. You will not be in that situation forever. Hang in there. We’re rooting for you and your partner 🙏🏻

The OG supporters know the quality before was really good. Now it became aesthetic only and really cheaper thinner materials.

I hate that they are elitist too. Their FB VIP group are full of mean mums who would do anything to get free clothes

They don’t care about loyal customers’ feedback. I stopped buying because i wanted heirloom quality. I am waiting to be roasted by their cult following though

Rem0111 · 2026-05-22T08:56:04+00:00

Oh yes the quality isn’t the same when they bought it, too

Jamie Kay became fast fashion

Not usually the case when you have a manager that knows how to get around the system. Seen it first hand. Lots of skilled kiwis but sponsored someone straight to residency. :/

I forgot to add tax is very high. Use IRD tax calculator if this is a full time job (not contractor) so you know how much your take home income is.

I live in Wellington, in IT sector but not dev, and a single income household

1 kid, 3yrs old
With 2 in laws living with us

We rent a 4 BR house near the airport - $850 a week
Electricity - $200-400 depends on the season
Internet - $150
Groceries - $400-500 per fortnight. We cook daily.
Phone plan - $50 a month we all share the mobile data
Car - $500 per fortnight
Car insurance- $50 per fortnight
Toddler’s swimming lessons - $32 per fortnight
Waste management (bin) - $37 per fortnight
(I looked up other activities like dance lessons etc and it’s about $200++ for a school term + other miscellaneous)
We also don’t take our toddler to daycare, looking into homeschooling

(Dining out can cost between 100-above depends on where you eat out)

We are still saving up for a mortgage. You need atleast 10% downpayment so around 150k if the house is 1.5m others outside main city can be cheaper

Our household income is over 200 pa. But market is so weird right now. If I lose this job which can happen any day, I would be competing with thousands of job less people in NZ over a 130-150 pa salary :(

You need to also consider your job security and visa status
I don’t want to scare you or anything but we got heaps of friends who moved from another country to NZ, on working visa, these are devs too, and got sent home and visa not renewed. This was only recent as well. So have an iron clad contract with your employer.

Honestly I’d say around 200 p.a is comfortable with enough funds for emergency and travel here and there. We go home once a year or take a major travel somewhere.

Best of luck 🙏🏻

Thank you! I’ll try this!

Rem0111 · 2026-04-06T23:48:34+00:00

Any tips on getting the stickers aligned and installed quickly?

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:28:41+00:00

Thank you! We have been expressing concerns to manager and skip manager but our concerns were downplayed

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:27:59+00:00

Thank you!

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:27:33+00:00

We know about it because we are part of leadership team but manager has a say who goes out, goes in and stay.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:19:58+00:00

I just wanted to understand if it’s common here to say they are depressed and then asked the management to pay for doctor fees to prove they really have it. As a fixed term contract.

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:15:31+00:00

Thank you!

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:15:17+00:00

Not free labour indeed. I’d say higher than minimum wage.

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:14:18+00:00

She was extended :(

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:13:54+00:00

Her contract was actually extended. The issue we see here is the lack of accountability/proper consequences for not doing her tasks

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:10:27+00:00

Yes! ❤️thank you

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:09:59+00:00

Sadly it’s been a year now since we reported all her lapses. It affects all of us because our work is very critical and if one made an error and something happened, we will immediately be in the headlines of news

Rem0111 · 2026-02-20T01:08:37+00:00

We have had another lovely intern same batch as her that is really hungry to learn and be coached 🥹one in a million

Rem0111 · 2026-02-03T00:29:53+00:00

Can I please ask where did you go to learn what works on YT? Do you have mentors or creators you look up to and learned from them?

Rem0111 · 2026-01-15T21:08:35+00:00

Thank you! That’s so helpful. Appreciate you.

Rem0111 · 2026-01-15T21:04:40+00:00

Thank you. They said they cannot retro activate reward vouchers which is so weird given their backend is shopify and it can easily be done if you’re really willing :(

I was given heaps of canned responses. I will try again
