Let's talk breakfast. Lots of workplaces are offering return-to-office perks like barista coffee and free breakfast, and we'd like to know: what does your employer provide? Bonus question: what do you wish they'd stock in the pantry?

I'm struggling with my work environment at the moment everyone is not happy with each other always complaining, arguing or threatening to quit. while I think mangement wants them too. I am truly struggling to stay with the job but I have no where else to go

Do you reckon it’s possible to do 1 thing for passion and another for your career? I studied psych because I wanted to be more helpful in the advocacy space. But everyone always said I had a knack for comms, and sure enough I ended up in marketing :) Funny thing is, the psych stuff still helps heaps. Thought I had to pick one path to be happy.... but maybe that’s not true! Anyone else feel the same? 😬

I want to pay a recruiter a reward for finding me a job. Where should I look/post to find a good agency. Not fussy on the type of work, just want casual/part-time (out of office hours) Will do mornings to 12pm. Else 6pm on is good. Graveyard sifts ok. But only 4-6rhs. Not worried about the pay rate. If all ese fails I can go back (next year) to my old 5 star job. 100% the best company to work for. Any help, suggestions, direction and advice will be greatly received, :)

I read an article last week about 'quiet cracking' which is basically burnout. My work is super hectic at the moment and there are times when I go home completely wrecked and just stare at my phone - Is that burnout? I'm sure it's not good but I'm only in my 20s so it can't permanently damage me can it?

I’m a hardworking and reliable person with hands-on experience in data entry, driving, dispatch, and coordination. I have strong organizational and teamwork skills, with leadership experience as a team lead and coordinator. I’m also skilled in carpentry and fruit picking, always focused on completing tasks safely, efficiently, and with attention to detail. I enjoy volunteering and contributing to teamwork that makes a positive impact.

Does anyone here work a 4-day week or a 9-day fortnight? If so -did you start with five days a week then scale back? Was it offered by your company? Or did you originally start on the reduced days? Doing some research for myself…

The Australian state of Victoria has proposed a law that gives employees the right to work from home two days per week if they can. The change would give workers more flexibility and work-life balance, potentially allowing more carers and parents to stay in the workforce. Would you support a similar law in New Zealand? How would working from home two days per week help you? Share your thoughts below. ⬇️
