Well done it’s never easy to make that choice. It’s a human failing that we often lose by being scared of risk and spend far too much money/time protecting our current position for no improvement.
Years ago a truckie colleague did the maths on what hiring a new guy cost the company. Averaging out all the rollovers/damaged freight events etc he came up with a figure of $5000 per new worker in 90’s money.
He articulated the idea they should pay a little more to get competent staff to stay.
We got a pay rise that year and started to stem the tide of driver turnover that was well into double figures annually.

Congratulations, and you were certainly a gentlemen in giving your previous employer a chance to retain you - actually mean that with sincerity.
After surviving 15 odd redundancy rounds over my IT career, when I left my final IT position in the late 90's, I caught myself feeling guilty. I then remembered fuck, as soon as one is deemed surplus, they just boot ya. I left guilt free.
All the best with your new job mate![]()
Golriz grab a bargain has resigned from parliament. Shows you what morals these green lot have that it took till the third allegation to make the decision.
But what’s worse really is the hypocrisy of a save the planet nutter crowd buying short run expensive boutique clothing, oh lol sorry I meant stealing. Shouldn’t she be stealing more durable longer lasting clothing items….
But it’s worse she’s playing the mental health card now instead of owning her actions.
You sure can rely on the Greens for being the greatest advertisement of why you should vote for anyone except them!!!

No.
"shows you what morals these green lot have....".
Are there other instances of people in that party shoplifting that have been covered up? No? then don't conflate her actions with that of the party.
"playing the mental health card". She came from a difficult background, trained as a lawyer, was an MP earning $160k a year - what else is this except a symptom of an underlying issue? I feel sorry for her more than anything. Let me put it to you another way and since you're so very fond of the ad hominem argument: Whats your coping mechanism for stress and trauma, son? Alcohol and spousal abuse? When did you stop beating your wife?
She has owned her actions. The day after she flew into the country she torpedoed her career and present life.
I would rather vote green than for any of the collection of rabble, chancers, private school oafs, bullies and self enrichening cunts that are currently in charge. They at least have some principles.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
Has she actually been convicted of anything yet?
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Nah. The haters don't need formalities.
This is sad. The first refugee to make it into Parliament resigns in disgrace. I read this morning that she wasn't a real refugee because her family arrived here in a 'plane. What were they supposed to do, walk?
Naturally there was much of this on Twitter and I got into a short "discussion" when I commented that it was pointless because we didn't actually know anything at the time and we wouldn't until the shop(s), the Police, or the woman herself said something. So she has resigned and now we know something. There are still questions but again, we'll just have to wait.
As for this being indicative of the morals of the Greens, I seem to recall the case of Jenny "trading while insolvent" Shipley.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
Nice strawman job, and showing me your from extreme left without telling me your from extreme left.
My coping mechanism is accepting life isn’t fair, never has been and never will be. Make the best of whatever happens and move on. Oh and take the motorbike out for a ride to reset 😀
Could you imagine the animal kingdom of they all sat around feeling sad that the lions eat steak every night while birds forage for worms. If they sat around feeling sorry for themselves 90% of species would keel over and die. Oh wait that’s what really happened with evolution.
Hhhmmm maybe humans ought to pay attention there….

After the mess the labour greens coalition made of policing and justice it won’t happen fast.
When your reputation is an essential tool of your trade you don’t confess/resign without a fight. Could you imagine the screams of injustice and “ mostly peaceful protests” that would unleash in support of it turned out mistaken identity or false accusation etc????
99% of public figures that end up in trouble resign to protect there party or business from the fallout, about only exception is Trump.

Ok back to true positive things. One persons kind trusting generosity leads to a win for someone not very well off.

well. Labour/Greens are not runnng Justice so they can't have any influence there, however NactFirst ARE currently responsible for justice so will do everything possible to affect the outcome. Also "mainly peaceful protect" seems to be a specialty of the far right wingnuts. As far as reputation goes, the entire Green party is facing damage from this, so her resignation may be,as you say, to protect the party, as she herself has no rep left to count on. Unlike Judith Collins with regards to her husband and Orivida or the swamp kauri exports fake export certificates, etc.
