Only rich white men are "entitled to their entitlements" as the old adage goes.
Sick leave is a legal entitlement - so its a quite shamelessly preposterous for people to say in this thread some sectors view it as an "entitlement" it literally is.

BNZ and Westpac have announced further cuts in some of their mortgage rates.... the second time within three weeks.

Major bank cuts rates for second time in three weeks
BNZ and Westpac now have the lowest six-month and one-year rates on the market.
Absolute mystery as to why public sector employees take 30% more sick days than private sectors ones. Weak genes?

That was done ages ago and they take 30% less sick days. Its great

Just refixed yesterday for a year at 4.89% with ANZ. Kept repayments the same and took 7 years off loan length.BNZ and Westpac have announced further cuts in some of their mortgage rates.... the second time within three weeks.

If everyone does that we pay down debt faster but don’t have the discretionary income to pump into the economy

Nobody's arguing whether anyone is entitled to their contractual entitlements. A contract between employee and employer specifies what each party's rights are, and both parties are entitled to exercise those rights.
Just interesting that in some industries, there is a relaxed approach to the employer enforcing its rights when sick leave is taken. When I have said to a nurse "I've run out of annual leave" and they say "you get 10 days sick leave - just take a few of them". And it has been a couple of times I've noticed this attitude towards using 10 days or losing them. To be honest, it has been the older generation rather than the new ones I've met
Not throwing stones at them - just an interesting observation. They are obviously highly worked an underpaid on a salary basis. But also should consider how sick leave is used by some as "free" annual leave

Just bought a development site 3 months ago and in the process of subdividing.
Moving a relocatable house on next week and looking for another one before the end of the year.
Also bought another subdividable site for a couple of years time recently as well.
Uncertain times with rents dropping and prices bouncing around the bottom of the cycle but it all stacks up based on rental income as a long term investment, not to develop and sell.
Opportunity abounds if you look long term.

But more importantly our tourism business has a big $2m expansion project that’s been on hold the last few years as feasibility doesn’t stack up. Interest rates dropping, tourism rebounding, inflation under control, etc makes it doable again so have the architect onto it with a view to doing next year.
Tourism rebounding? It’s slowly creeping higher
Hmmm are you working in Seymour’s office Wiz? This is EXACTLY what you were talking about right?

Agreed but a lot more positive than a year or two ago. These sort of things your planning a couple of years into the future.
Yeah look I think it will get there but geez the rebound has lagged other countries. Good on you for investing for future growth!
I love getting productivity explained by a child that has never worked in a proper job! Kids say the darndest things
How can anyone take her or her party seriously, bunch of losers.
Im amazed at the hate Seymour gets from what seem relatively reasonable positions.
Reasonable with your lens is far right to everyone else
