PMEs – No need for more hare brain schemes

Every time I heard of more schemes and training programmes for the PMEs my blood pressure goes up. Only people with vacuums in between their ears would think their hare brain schemes are brilliant schemes to solve a self created farcical problem. The only way to put something sensible into the vacuum is to make them PMEs and make them go through their hare brain schemes, put them through their silly training programmes to become dishwashers or table cleaners.

What is the problem sacked and retrenched PMEs are facing, or what is the cause of their problems? What are you going to teach a 30 year experienced PMEs with a string of degrees and technical certificates on? Dishwashing or sweeping the floor? When I look across the job market, it is so exasperating to think that all those middle management jobs are far too sophisticated and difficult for the PMEs when they were in the jobs for several decades.

And I find it a silly joke that 3rd world villagers from chapalan universities have the required skill sets and technical expertise to replace our PMEs who have been practising their trades and professions in a 1st world economy, a knowledge based economy for decades. Who were there to teach them to be better than our PMEs? How many of the jobs given to 3rd world villagers cannot be done by our PMEs? How many of these 3rd world talents possessed better qualifications that are real and from better universities than our PMEs? I have seen many Apapa and Amama universities that straight away raised a red flag.

Do they know what are the real problems on the ground? No, they do not want to know. They only want to bring in more 3rd world villagers and their cousins, and to believe that they are the best talents to bring this 1st world economy and city back to the 3rd world.

Start with a few simple and effective solutions. Civil services, stats boards and GLC companies must stop employing 3rd world half bakes and fakes from chapalan universities. This will stop the PME problems immediately and give back dignity to our PMEs. Please don’t treat them like little lost children that need more training, or like lepers that should be shunned.

Do not betray your own citizens with funny and silly schemes. This is the last straw and they will vote you out in the next GE. If you do not want to take care of their interest and only think of taking care of foreigners, they would not take care of yours either. Every PME losing his job is a family in trouble and a family of votes that would go with them. With a life span of 80 to 90 years, it is a nightmare to lose their jobs at 50 or 60. They have another 20 to 30 years to live and being jobless or a cleaner is not the way to go.

Think, think. Fill the vacuum with something useful, not money and more money.

Vote for more good years and training to be dishwashers.

Yawn.... It's the same story the world over... someone loses their job to a migrant who happens to be more competent and more efficient and it's always someone else's fault but never their own.


Migrant took my job, says axed banker

Kushmangaran Nair was employed as branch supervisor at the Papatoetoe branch since May 2013.


A New Zealand citizen who lost his bank job to a man seconded from India says he is "living proof" temporary migrant workers are stealing Kiwi jobs.

Immigration New Zealand said it was investigating a complaint from Kushmangaran Nair against his former employer, the Bank of India.
Mr Nair was employed as branch supervisor at the Papatoetoe branch since May 2013, but was told in August that the bank was to be restructured. He was told a month later of the company's decision to make him redundant and given a day's notice to leave his job.

An employee from India was granted a work visa to be seconded as branch manager to "take responsibility for the key tasks" from Mr
Nair, as well as "more senior tasks".

"I feel that this is in breach of their visa conditions ... it is clear that BOI(NZ) is bringing in overseas staff to take over local jobs given to New Zealand citizens," Mr Nair said.

"The actions of the ... bank are disadvantaging bona fide citizens of this country by putting us out of jobs for no fault of ours."
Mr Nair, from Fiji, has lived in Auckland for 25 years and is a citizen.

Bank of India New Zealand managing director Ranjitkumar Amarendra Jha said the bank was not aware of any complaint or investigation.

Mr Jha said the bank was not in the position to comment on this or on the personal circumstances of employees for privacy reasons.
Michael Carley, Immigration area manager, confirmed the agency had received a complaint and would "investigate as appropriate".
He said a specific purpose work visa was granted for an employee of the Bank of India to be seconded as branch manager in Auckland.
Under the scheme, those seconded to New Zealand by a multinational company can be issued a work visa for up to three years and no labour market test is required.

Last year, 144,978 work visas were granted to temporary migrant workers, a 5 per cent increase from the previous year.
The latest Household Labour Force survey has New Zealand's unemployment rate at 5.4 per cent.

What is a work visa?

Foreign nationals who do not have residence who want to work in NZ require a work visa. There are various policies that allow people to enter NZ to work, including essential skills, working holiday schemes and study to work.

How many work visa holders are there?

The number of migrants arriving for work over the last decade has grown continually. Last year, 144,978 work visas were issued, an increase of 5 per cent from the previous year

Who gets issued a work visa?

Immigration officers need to be satisfied that there are no suitable New Zealanders available to take up a job before a migrant worker is issued with a temporary work visa.
Why are MNCs different?

Employees seconded by multi-national companies can be issued a work visa for up to three years and no labour market test is required.
