Plumbers NZ | Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainage Community

I see the PGDB are doing their bit for the legal fraternity in NZ - advertising TWO jobs recently for lawyers - one for a new graduate type position and one for a senior solicitor. Perhaps they are considering bringing all the legal work they undertake "in house" - goodness knows they spend a bit on outsourcing for legal advice and action.  How many laywers does an organisation like this need??  Guess we'll have to keep a watch on SEEK and see how many lawyers it takes to keep the PGDB moving forward...

hi guys/jax, i can see a licence fee increase coming if we have to pay the wages of two more lawyers :o

Another two just left, must be a nice place to work

hi guys, perhaps the board are "economising" cheers

its not ecconomising when you got to replace them mate lol, nice sentiment mate  ;)

the last two lawyers were not charging enough so got asked to leave.

Hi guys it's possible the didn't get enough points for there upskilling so there no longer compendent lol  ;D

I was at a meeting once "one of their road shows" and one of the boys" a plumber doing it hard" asked ....why are our fees so high, its only data entry and managing a register..........the smug reply from the lawyer, with a smug grin.............."have you seen what lawyers charge", then told  a story about being referred to,the Board and its legal team, as the"the plumbing mafia" with a 100% conviction rate. The one who said this is one that's leaving.

It is statistically impossible to have a 100% conviction rate.........what your saying is every single person with the finger pointed at them was guilty......I remember some other people with a similar mantra...... if you don't float and drown your innocent, if you survive your guilty and need burning....inquisitors ;)
