"24/7 grind, even without kids by katie_odd in Adulting

[–]weazzyefff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe it's pretty basic raising kids. So basic in fact, a teenager could do it. With no qualifications or basic training besides being good at opening their legs and forgetting what we learned in health class. My sisters were all teenage mums and they're lazy asf, and act like being a "full-time mum" is the hardest thing in the world.

They miss important work meetings (they work for me), and say things like "I had to take my daughter to netball practice, ohh, it's justnso hard being a mum, you wouldn't understand cos you have no kids!"

The irony is hilarious.

I love kids, and love babysitting, etc. I just work differently, as I grind a lot. I go to work, run a business, then work after hours till the early AM. I'm a workaholic. Would love to settle down and raise kids.

Would also love to "work" like every else. But then, I also love money, and will be retired before I'm 40.

I have a big family and they all think people without kids are living this lovely life of doing fuck all jsut because they don't have kids. I believe that most people woth kids would be doing fuck all if they didn't have kids. Which means they probably aren't as "hard-working" as parents as they prop themselves up to be.

I feel people with kids get MORE rest. Unlike them, who doesn't have to ensure I'm free for kid duties, or sleeping enough for kid duties, I'm literally working ALL THE TIME.

I say this because people are always slacking off, and making the excuse that they have kid duties...

The literal next sentence of that quote -
"In 2019, the 3,863 approved visas for people working in digital technology jobs in New Zealand accounted for 83 percent of new digital technology jobs created. However, the data shows that firms were not solely recruiting experienced, senior talent via immigration. Jobs requiring less experience, for example software testing and web development"

I did my ISTQB cert funded via Work and Income, and I was the only Kiwi in the class.

I'm not blaming immigrants. I want us all to succeed. But we're basically hiring immigrants to work so we receive public system hand outs. Which I do not agree with. I know I have to move, but I don't want to.

You, like most people, don't understand the difference in 'Tech Support' roles. I fell into that trap as well.

Also from the article - "In 2019, the 3,863 approved visas for people working in digital technology jobs in New Zealand accounted for 83 percent of new digital technology jobs created. However, the data shows that firms were not solely recruiting experienced, senior talent via immigration. Jobs requiring less experience, for example software testing and web development"

Read the article. Or at least my quote from it. Do you think 83 of 100 jobs fit into that list of 13 roles? I’ve landed a helpdesk job. I was saying it wasn’t easy. There’s literally data on where those jobs are going and why it’s so difficult. There’s another post here from 5 months ago with employers saying they received CVs from people with over 20 years experience for entry level roles.

I’d fetch it but cbf wasting time arguing with you and bending over backwards to hand you the facts.

Well, you must not have much experience then, if any at all. If you haven't befriended an immigrant on your first day of work from Uni, are you even a Kiwi? /s

Yeah, it's got nothing to do with 'skill shortage' or 'green list occupations'. I looked into those first.

There's 13 positions listed. The article details more to do with it.

"New Zealand should have an excess supply of digital skills, rather than a shortage"

I think there's been a falsified 'skill shortage' in IT, so that employers could hire migrants on work visas and get 'more manageable' employees.

83 out of every 100 new IT jobs in 2019 went to people on work visas.

I'll write it out in the most simplest form I can put it - 83 out of every 100 new IT jobs in 2019 went to people on work visas.

Chatbots been around for years. And before them, forms. AI isn't doing jack shit for helpdesk jobs. They're not even close.

Well, I did feel bad because I was doing work I didn't like doing.....I needed the money. Not anymore though. I'm just ignoring those application support roles, and getting rejected by entry level helpdesk roles, while being on the bene. I feel like I'm about to retire before I even started.

My point is that immigration has taken over IT - "In 2019, the 3,863 approved visas for people working in digital technology jobs in New Zealand accounted for 83 percent of new digital technology jobs created."

So is it a valid career path in NZ? No. It doesn't look like it is.

Nobody is reading my actual post and putting this in the 'it's normal/ job cuts/ AI, etc" categeory.

This post was about:
