Ive worked in corporate and construction and the kiwi work ethic so bad. There is no respect or care about doing a good job. People will happily brag about doing a shit job even if its only 5mins extra work to do it properly. In construction it pissed me off so much because a lot of these tasks can only be done once and need to last for decades. In IT I care a lot less since it can be fixed and seen transparently but its still annoying when people half ass stuff and it breaks in 6 months. People constantly showing up late and leaving early. Acting like doing their job requires to much effort when its a dead easy job.
The managers in nz are also pretty bad at creating a place where people want to work. They treat staff like cattle especially islanders and Indians its disgusting.
People say it doesnt matter but it does. When you work around people who have a good work ethic the days flow by and mood is far more optimistic. Instead of every problem being the worst thing ever its an interesting challenge to solve and instead of leaving the job unfinished and rushing home you finish it properly and it feels good. I worked with a great guy when i was a teenager and he would push us to go the extra mile detail wise, He’d always remind us what we were working on working on someone’s home and this is what they were paying us for.
You get it. Once I worked in a place where staff would be browsing Tinder on the job at 9am on a Sunday. They talked enthusiastically about prostitution, drugs and pornography. If I ever have to deal with this again in warehousing, then my forks are going straight through the first asshole I see. That’s half of why I’m out of work lol. The amount of punks and assholes is astounding in logistics jobs. I don’t even want to work in that field again.
