Phew… I was questioning EVERYTHING for a moment there

The only person I believe unequivocally is Webby, the single source of truth.

These people are truly, truly awful. Ruth Richardson is now the chair of the taxpayers union

She is a traitor to all new zealanders other than the wealthy, who clearly she works for.

If you work 1 day a week you are entitled to 10 weeks a year sick leave.

If you work 5 days a week you get 2 weeks a year sick leave.

Does this make any sense to you?

Yes, plus 4 weeks holiday and then you could hit 3-4 public holidays if you work a Monday or Friday.

Can get 17-18 weeks off per year if you work it right.

Is there any wonder we’re so unproductive

Seen as they only work 40 weeks a year she could take a term off a year
