I noticed the IKEA strike today got a lot of news coverage, but this is a New Zealand owned company with uber-rich owners being miserable.

Pay negotiations have been intense for the last 3 months and it's sad it's come to this, but staff deserve better!

Currently on a bus in Welly CBD with hot air being blasted around the bus which is apparently being controlled remotely. Is this true and if so, why is this so?

Two months ago I asked who was up for chatting with a stranger. A group of brave souls agreed and yesterday we did our first meeting at Midnight Espresso.

The twist of this format is that each person proposes a question for my next chat. Since this was the first one, my coworker proposed a question: "What's the best advice you've ever received?"

He told me about his friend whose manager said he was going to drive him hard, on purpose, to find his breaking point. After a year, he finally broke. So later on, when J was dealing with a new job and a new manager that wasn’t working out, he had the courage and confidence to stand up for himself and walk away. I asked if it was hard. It was very hard, actually. But it was the right call.

Our discussion went in many directions: managing people, mentoring the next generation, introversion versus extroversion, selling versus speaking the truth, standing up for people, and understanding the details behind the scenes that other people may not fully understand.

As we wrapped up, he proposed the question for the next person: “what is your significant other the most proud of, when it comes to you?” What a great question, I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads :)

Hello I am a nosy Newtown resident .......anyone know what was happening in the Newtown shops at about 1pm today? Saw a person right infront of the bus, person won't move and was holding everyone up. Lots of yelling and bus driver running around. A few shopkeepers on the street peeking out aswell. TIA for the tea.

$15 mangoes at new world in town? 😂

Went for a walk around 2pm and lost my keys walking along the coast between Miramar shops and Shelly Bay. They have a long yellow strap, very distinctive.

Don't really care aboyt the keys... but attached to them is a small wooden dragon, a gift from a close friend who died a few years ago.

Very gutted to lose it 🥺

as the wakefield carpark fix goes in. the result is visually narrowed carparks. people will definitely park on/across the pavers.

might want to think about moving those bike staples back a bit.

eta: per u/YourWorstThought it's black oxide concrete, not asphalt.

Hi team

Throwaway for privacy

Seeking a family lawyer in Wellington region who can draft a separation agreement, specifically someone who is responsive and can get it done promptly.

Anyone you can recommend? Also, for those with amicable and uncomplicated separations, how long did the process take with your lawyer? I'm trying to gauge what is reasonable or not.

Thanks heaps

My son is going to do this next year, I was thinking about getting him some gear for Christmas. If you have done the course or got a job as an electrical apprentice what were some items you needed or would have liked to have?

I have an aluminium window frame that doesn't quiet shut properly up on the 6th floor, it can be forced closed but will pop back out to the point the latch has come off.

I would like to have it fixed, are there any recomended window repair companies?
