Ask for the Card Campaign
« on: April 23, 2013, 09:05:25 PM »
Let's hope not too many customers are tuned in to this - becasue we are still waiting on lots and lots of licence cards - even from February practitioners who licenced very early.  That and I believe a fair sampling of one's that have arrived for people are WRONG

Holy shit - this is the one job they are MEANT to do and they can't get it right.  Must be too busy preparing their defence for tomorrow's court case with the Charities Commission scrambling to regain their charitable status.  I'd say they have no show - none, nada, zip, 0.  And all this is costing practitioners how much???  Are they allowed to spend money on stuff like this - I think not - and I see another complaint coming....

Mr "I can see a rainbow" Williamson - what are you going to do about this wanton waste of practitioners funds?

I totally agree Jax they are more of a charity case than someone who operates a charity......

But on a lighter note and on a positive for one for "the Bored" (LOL)........it appears that the "ask for the card" campaign is a huge success...................

I have now asked for my card 3 times, going for the fourth soon.......when will I get it, no one knows.....but I am following the direction of the Bored, very Bored..........I keep asking......for the card.........

Please can I have my card, please.......feck I'll ask again......gimme my feckin card...........

No credibility what so ever,, they fecked up the charity status, got the legality of their money gathering totally wrong, they fecked up the gas cert register, they fecked up my hearing( eh, what was that,,,,), fecked up everything they have touched......

and you know whose fault it is........that Bloody Federation......telling them about all they were doing wrong.........

Hi guys, what about this! Looks like the Domino Effect` to me, cheers
…
Did you know? The Board cannot process licence renewal applications for licensed trades people if their supervisor is not holding an active licence.
If your supervisor does not accept supervision of you your licence cannot be made active.

Perhaps they are diverting funds from their "licensing" division to their "cover you arse" division, which if that fails they will empower the "shredding" division......

Thought I saw Routhan on an episode of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the other day, but I was mistaken.....it was another shredder.......

When do we find out if the Bored are a charity case or a charity worker.....

I can see why it costs us so much to license.  85% of my workers got two liceces sent to them on the same day.  One wrong and one correct

hi guys,..According to Statistics New Zealand, as many as 1 million New Zealanders live overseas, including almost one in four of all highly-educated Kiwis. This is the highest proportion of skilled workers based off shore for any country in the OECD, and a population much larger than New Zealand’s second biggest city.
...
i wonder why, how many of our trades people in this group, cheers

Really makes you think doesn't it Robbo, we do have the best country and people, the space, low crime, tolerant society.....

But any one with a skill or education wants to leave and not deal with the bullshit and perhaps make some real money......why do they constantly feck up a great place, it beggar's belief mate. Mores the question why do we constantly let them?

We could have it all, but we are meant to survive on sunshine and scenery...unless of course you work for $250,000.00 per year skimming off people who actually work.

hi guys, does this sound familiar, cheers
...
A Hawke's Bay office worker, who stole more than $600,000, has been sentenced to just over three years behind bars. Judge Geoff Rea said the theft was motivated by greed.
"You ripped off somebody else to improve your own lifestyle... You single-mindedly pillaged  for six-and-a-half years with little thought for the owners."

This is a particularly nasty case , I know the owner of the company , he is an extremely good natured person, certainly did not deserve this, thankfully she was caught, Seems all to often women in positions of trust commit this sort of crime , this is the third case where I personally know the buisness owners who have suffered , makes me wonder just how big a problem it is , be vary vigilant is my advice .
