A South African woman [/b]from Limpopo shares a heartbreaking story of being terminated from her employment in June 2023. Allegedly, she was fired because her newly constructed house was considered too extravagant for her monthly income of R4,900 (equivalent to N390,955.12).
In a TikTok video (@mrssmia2) that has gained viral attention, she recounts the shocking events leading to her dismissal and expresses her frustration with the situation. The woman mentions the aftermath, involving private investigators, lie detector tests, and scrutiny of her accounts.
The lady, focusing on her business post-dismissal, reflects on the challenges she faced. She emphasizes that people find it hard to believe a house could be built with a monthly income of 4.9, hinting at additional small incomes contributing to the project. She contemplates sharing her full story in a live session or post in the future.
Reactions from Netizens:
Lola sends love, Matsobane questions how colleagues know about one's lifestyle outside of work, Sanele Tshabangu inquires about the legality of the situation, Thandiwe Othandwayo shares a similar experience, Smarties and Masello also share their past encounters with unjust dismissals.
@mrssmia2
And the following morning after being fired I started focusing on my business, the trauma of going through private investigators, lie detector tests, having my accounts being checked, i told myself that I will live for the content of my house, people still can’t believe 4 point 9 can build a house if you substitute it with small extra incomes. One day I will gather strength go live or post a story #thohoyandoutiktok #vendasonline #SAMA28 #viral #home
