Guys I think YoungHeart has opened this up to talk about where jobs are available and help folks out. 

None of us either burbling or throwing shots is furthering that.

As someone who also had a car stolen in NZ 6 hours after flying in, from a well lit movie theatre car park, losing personally-fitted golf clubs I’d had since I was 14 and indoor football boots I’d had for 10 years and a whole lot of other stuff on December 23rd, which meant no car to drive to the bach Christmas, yeh crime sucks. There was no particular onsell value to any of that, (though there was a lot of personal value) and it was found torched. Welcome to NZ. 

On the other hand I can imagine the outcry if people in the car of a drunk driver started getting criminal charges against them too and it seriously affected their career and standing.

In any case, none of this is related particularly to employment or the economy.

Yeah that was the angle I was chasing. Thank you. 🙂

I know there was a politics thread in here too, but wanted to keep it separate, even though there are a lot of close links between both the politics of this country and the flow on effects to employment and other areas that affect people in general (health, infrastructure etc etc)

Anyway, if anyone was interested - New Plymouth location. Few different types of rosters around the floor (5 day rotating - Days/Nights/Afternoons, 4x2 roster starting Sunday night through to Friday & 4x4 - 24/7 roster). Christmas/New Years shut down, medical insurance and life insurance to 3x annual base salary, and 5 weeks annual leave per year after 3 years of service.

Started in the same position/role on about 55k, although I think now starting is about 65k. Room to move and up-skill too. Have almost doubled that starting rate since I've been there.
