Not all state servants have options when they lose their jobs. I have nieces and their partners working in Wellington and their jobs are continually under threat. All are very well qualified and have held responsible positions for many years and they are most certainly not alone in this situation. For every job advertised there are a lot of applicants.
Then there are the so called “back-room” workers who have lost their jobs and unable to find another as many such as receptionists, secretarial support etc etc are not being replaced in any government department and the private sector can’t absorb them all.
Then there is the flow on effect to other businesses, properties, transport etc etc when people are not working they can’t afford many things which we have taken for granted.
It’s becoming a really sad situation for so many people in many occupations around the country that there is no certainty of having a job from day to day.
