IT Contractors - I'm a student looking to finish my homework.

Sorin from Browns Bay

Hi lovely people,

The reason I'm writing to you is a research project I am working on, as part of my MBA. In particular, I am looking at IT contractors, born between 1980 and 2000. The purpose of this project is to understand what motivates millennial IT contractors in New Zealand, as of 2018, at the beginnings of the fourth industrial revolution.

Motivation has no "one size fits all formula". Additionally, multiple studies claim that IT professionals have unique attitudes in regards to job motivation and satisfaction. Moreover, New Zealand lacks such studies.

Understanding the motivational factors of millennial IT contractors will help management professionals to address the issue better and also allow practitioners to understand their position in the industry.

If you can get me in touch with any people that match the above description, or forward my request to them, It would be of great help for me and value for New Zealand's IT industry. Also, please feel free to share this message with anyone you think might be able to help.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you,

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
