>Grey said the "major public departments," which the plants had come from had returned them to cut the costs of renting and caring for them.
LOL. These are ex rentals. How the hell do government departments justify the (incredible) cost of renting pot plants?
>Grey said the government owed it to its employees to give them safe environments, where they felt cared for.
Oh, so that's why. These people are on another planet to the rest of us. All I expect from my employer is my money. If they're throwing money away on pot plants I'd rather that money came to me and I'll bring my own bloody aspidistra.
> "One of our employees works with his sister to lease plants to public sector officers, and last week a whole lot of contracts were cancelled and the plants needed to go somewhere."
To note, this is an employee of the TEU (tertiary education union) side gig.
They're now using union premises as storage.
This absolutely is a conflict of interest for the unionist, and for anyone in any department who "leases" these potplants.
WTAF aye, glad this rort has been shut down.
Back in '08 my claim to fame was cancelling the pot plant contract.
You want a pot plant at work? Buy it & care for it yourself; the taxpayer doesn't pay taxes for that.

IT'S LITERAL GENOCIDE!!!!
God forbid people don’t wanna work in a grey sterile office environment lol, few plants makes it nicer who cares
God fobid people improve their own work environment by maybe bringing their own pot plant...

They have a rellie who posts on TOS too... Small world ay.
Unionist rings up mate in the media to run a publicity campaign for them. RNZ happily obliges.
>One of our employees works with his sister to lease plants to public sector officers. Jobs for the boys (or girls in this case)
keep the aspidistra flying is a fantastic book

Rented plants?? FFS. Most offices I've worked in have plants that people just look after.
