I don’t even know where to start with this, awful for the little girl though.

@jegga When I saw that article, I was going to say the same thing. There surely cannot be one possible fucking detail the world doesn't know about her and the dead ex. What is even sadder, though, is for the articles to keep appearing, they must get clicks.

When they stop getting clicks she’ll branch out with articles that include product endorsements
“ meth scabs? Try our new foundation at your next job interview “
“ 10 outfits to choose from to wear to your next feral boyfriends funeral , Millie mixes it up with our fashion team “
“ wear to place your Tatts for maximum unemployability “
“ accessorise that crack pipe for less than $10”
And on and on . God help us all if she ever hooks up with Lorde or Max Key .

Are supermarkets pillaging the NZ public?
-
@canefan That's interesting actually.
Supermarkets here in the UK are so fucking cheap, I wonder how anybody who supplies actually makes any money. How can you make money when the supermarkets are selling 2 kg of your grown carrots for 45p?
So when in NZ, I find supermarkets horrifically expensive. But on the same token, I've always been ok with that as I assume it's more locally sourced, higher quality goods. But that may be just bullshit.
-
@majorrage there was an article on them several months back; many UK supermarkets sell a number of items at a loss (like milk for example) whereas the NZ supermarkets said that is not how they operate, problem is, neither way is beneficial to the farmer that produces the milk as the milk prices are determined elsewhere.

Moron . You got a stupid tattoo and rather than live with the consequences you went to press and made sure a quick google of your name confirms any future employers suspicions about your latent idiocy .

Looking forward to the CEO of Air NZ holding a press conference to unreservedly apologise for this injustice. While also agreeing to promote her to chief pilot and giving her free air travel for life.
Nah last year they already told another woman who got a sleeve tattoo that they wouldn’t hire her . I think in both cases it was more than simply the tattoo and they were borderline feral and not in keeping with the company’s image.

Whatever happened to the quaint idea of trying to make the best first impression?
In this day and age why does the presence of a tattoo provide a bad impression?

Agreed. I'm non tattooed myself, but they are very common these days (and amongst all "classes") - I see from the link @jegga posted that even John Key question Air NZ's stance on them. I guess it always depends on what the tattoo is. But, I guess Air NZ has a dress standard and they're included as part of the dress standard.

Depends on the tattoo and location i guess. A dick on your forehead probably isn't the best one for a customer facing role. Unless you're an Australian bank...

that would be a giant fluffybunny

I agree, but to offer a weak counter argument, maybe it's because they're still a huge deal in other countries (e.g., Japan), so if the role involves working with tourists, perhaps that's a reason. Or, perhaps if you allow tattoos then you can't fight shitheads with some mad ass stuff plastered all over them?
btw, I'm tastefully tattooed.

@jegga Mind you - they're both tame compared to the clown photo at the bottom of the article on the woman who died from having the snowflake in her hand.
Number one on that guy's bucket list is to get a single day of paid work sometime in his lifetime. To see if it's really as bad as he's heard!

@canefan I recall interviewing a person for a job about 5 or 6 years back, she presented well, came across really well, so we offered her the job.
She turns up for work, full sleeve tattoo on one arm, one coming up from her chest, a lip and nose ring...
none of these were present or visible in the interview.
Turned out she wasnt a good person to hire, but at least she knew she couldnt turn up looking like the dumbarse she was.

it's interesting, because we are having this very discussion at the moment. It's very easy to see both sides, and why organisations choose a blanket rule. if a tattoo is shit/offensive, it probably should be covered. However, who makes that decision? Where is the line?
I don't have a tattoo, but i like quit a lot of the art that is done these days. And in a demographic where a lot of our employees come from, tattoos are more common than not. I just hired a girl in an account role who has a visible one on her forearm, and it didn't change my impression one bit.

Has tattoos ever stopped rugby players from getting contracts in Japan?
The Japanese tourists who do the Waimarama Tours (sneakily taking the chance to plug the hapu business https://waimaramamaori.co.nz/our-tours/) don't seem to have an issue with tattoos.
