    Good to see the rich ones with that plan b project. Obviously they've seen the predictions for the breakdown of the society as this continues.
    Actually had an employer years ago in Auckland do the higher wages thing and it improved productivity and stopped high staff turnover overnight.
    After he left though the process stopped and strangely enough the high staff turnover problem resumed, damages rose and customers left.

    Same at another company. Great gear and conditions, they were creaming it profit wise. Then they got greedy and found ways to ripoff and shaft the existing staff so new workers could be hired on lower wages.
    Strangely enough their trucks started rolling over and they went bust... and the feckers are scratching their heads wondering how it happened...

    Oh well roll on the nay sayers whove been lucky to have walked into good jobs and never taken the risk of moving into something else and think all the poor should just work harder at second jobs that aren't there.
    Saddest part was that family borrowing more money than the fines would have been for No WOF...

    Liked how Nigel wasn't shy of fingering the banks as the cause, I think a lot of people heavily invested or only in property are in for a shock at the next crash. And their will be a next one as the banker money junkies haven't changed their strategy...

    This is a global issue, not just an NZ issue. Plan B was laughable, primarily because they want to hand the well being of society over to the business community. You do realise that we are currently living under Plan B right? I love the intent, but if all you're going to change is the amount of money in people's pockets, whilst it may bring some form of short term relief to a few, it will leave society in exactly the same position, society will not change on that basis. Good program though.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Great, Nigel Latta is the new Gareth "expert on everything" Morgan. Anyone know what he thinks of cats, or North Korea?

    He should have got the memo from the Discovery Channel by now, it's a well known fact that you can only be an expert on everything if you're a Physicist.

    Yeah I'm sick of big mouth gareth being quoted on anything outside of finance too... but Nigel is qualified and experienced in the field he speaks in.
    He doesn't ram his ideas though either, hears lots of opinions and offers suggestions that might work.

    Pretty much. I guess it was a re-tread of the Bryan Bruce doco from the last election campaign?

    You're not helping your case. Nigel Latta makes me laugh when he does his parenting stand-up comedy schtick.

    I liked our Irish friend.

    A while back bankers were in the news so frequently that journalists and others were seeking an appropriate collective noun for a group of bankers.
    They decided on "wunch". As in, "A wunch of bankers".

    Just watched. Very interesting.


    Unfortunately a lot of businesses see employees as liabilities to be managed. A lot of this comes from the fact that they spend a good part of their time staring at spreadsheets. Had a past CEO tell a group of us that he loved it when unemployment was high as they could screw down the wages of new employees. These guys go from business to business making the spreadsheets look better, collect their bonus, then fuck off to do the same to another company.:weird. Its ingrained and will take a lot of changing.

    And as above it's the career CEO that's fucked everything. They do short term gain with massive long term loss all for personal benefit, while jumping company to company destroying them all on the way. On the other-hand people who have built their company form the ground up are usually pretty decent they know what it takes to survive & they're usually in it for the long term so won't cut off their noise to spite their face mostly because unlike the career CEO, which is gone when the damage is done, they'd be destroying themselves.
