That's what I was prescribed but I actually do not believe melatonin does anything because all the studies I've read are very inconclusive

This sounds kinda dodgy to me. A bit of googling suggests employers are only supposed to use cameras to watch staff for stuff like health & safety or if they have reason to believe staff are stealing, not for making sure you're not talking to people. Assuming those people are customers that should be good anyway, and even if they're not you're a human being, everyone talks to their colleagues wtf

how much do they charge for melatonin


they have flyers that we use to guide prices. because of the commerce commission pharmacies cant discuss with others what prices they charge because it'd be collusion, so everyone is kind of guessing

prescriptions medicines that are unfunded is a weird game. how much should I charge for boner pills? at my pharmacy it's different for different people, because we process prescriptions in our software and it just suggests we charge people what we charged last time, and so there is a large variety in charges for the same item. I tried to raise this with my boss but she didn't really want to address it and make a flat rate. she is a good pharmacist but by gently caress does she hate the idea of change. such a rigid thought process

the place is micromanaged, and we're watched on camera and told to stop talking to people etc. I can't handle it, my self esteem is like a wet tissue, truly pathetic, and I cannot handle it for much longer. oh how I wish I had energy to look for a new job rather than just feel sad all the time. LOL

You need to get the gently caress away from that place and get a new job bud

Yeah. I’ve found one of the biggest factors in my mental health is whether I’m working at a place where I feel respected and appreciated. I hear you about the difficulty of looking for a new job especially when you’re feeling down, but it’s absolutely worth the effort.

The person with self esteem issues is definitely going to torpedo the fragile stability of their job, which they need to live, by instigating a protracted legal investigation that may not lead to anything. I am very smart.

Personally I think it’s good to know your rights as a worker whether you plan to do anything about them or not. This is a discussion forum and someone else might find the info useful even if the op doesn’t

Also, it is possible to say to your boss “hey this isn’t cool or legal please stop it” without launching a formal legal battle. I did it with my current boss trying to give me 5 min breaks instead of 10s. Now I get proper breaks and we even still get along

Also, maybe you could let the OP decide for themselves if they want to do anything and not talk poo poo about other posters giving them information?

Why would they not simply extend the subsidy?? Govt is trying to have their cake and eat it too here, dumb poo poo. There isn't a centre in Auckland that can operate just on the govt funding.

That was for the MDRS. It's the "build 3 stories by right" bill. Note the tweet is from 2021.

It was being posted because Luxon is walking back Nationals support for it.

Basically yeah, the issue that is front of mind when polled does change people's voting preference, and budgets and finances favours National. An unscrupulous pollster could probably engineer a poll to favour Labour or National pretty easily just by asking about certain issues or news stories before asking who they plan to vote for.
