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

How does everyone manage conversations with their boss when you need flexibility to pick up kids, etc? I want to make sure the chat is productive, but worry that it might come across that I'm looking for special benefits.

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, :)

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. ⬇️

Work-life balance question: when do u go to the gym? I just got my first 9-6 job and I’ve tried going before work and after work and both times are bad because my gym is so crowded I have to wait for every machine. Does anyone do a lunchtime workout? How do you deal with showering/not being sweaty? I need ideas that don’t involve getting up at 4am.

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?

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…

Trying to move from fulltime to reduced hours. Cost of living is out the gate and I'm in my early 50s. Have a lifetime of experience but there's no bachelor of any kind in there. Is it still Qualifications vrs experience these days?
