Ever since I attended that interview, I haven't been okay mentally. The interview panel asked about my current cost-to-company package, and when I told them, the HR lady laughed, followed by the rest of the team. They asked me to repeat it because they couldn't believe it, and then asked how I was surviving in this economy. Since that day, I haven't stopped thinking about it. The more I reflect on the experience, the more frustrated I become with my current employer.

"Damn you're never stressed at work"

That is because I literally do not care what the outcome is. The company could go bankrupt, the building could get demolished, and I'd just head home

My job is really motivating me to look for another job! 😂

Not sure if you’re aware, but a young woman died at @CartrackZA’s offices, and they’re reportedly super abusive.

Can you maybe interview the CCMA about why Caetrack allegedly has never lost a case there? And Dept of Labor, Human Rights Commission about holding them accountable?

Work beef is so unnecessary like just do your job 😭

The @eNCA website is actually such a mess sometimes 🤦🏽‍♀️. Reading their articles is frustrating because they’ll put two videos from interviews and ads in between stories, especially short articles. Then you have to fight through a million banner ads. Like, can i just read and go?

I’m an elder millennial. I’m never letting go of my emotional support denim jacket, gold hoop earrings, boomerang drink videos, 90s R&B, side parts, and peace signs in my pics. Fight me.

[Ous'B 💚 @BongsMahlangu_]

l think a lot of millennial women are quietly grieving a life they thought they'd have by now.

[Lerato @its_lerato]

Yho i thought i was alone 😭. It really shut me up, but ku-right.

Guys… sorry for this very unsolicited advice but having recently lost my mom and now having to consolidate all of her affairs, (lucky for me, sis was quite organised but there are still some gaps we’re filling because we didn’t know), I have some tips for those who have a chance to try to get organised.

If your parents are still alive, here’s what you can TRY to do (cos I know some of them are very untrusting about stuff and will think you’re trying to come for ilefa prematurely 🥺🫣) but honestly, the peace I’m yearning for right now will be worth the effort I’m advising you to employ.

1. Prepare a file that has the following:
- Parents’ ID copies
- Parents’ Marriage Certificate (even the one from the lobola meeting)
- Parents’ Divorce Decree if divorced
- All title deeds reflecting their names and car ownership papers
- Municipal bills for the properties and logins to the e-portals for the municipal accounts (this is one of the most stressful things to sort out when the owner is no longer alive…YOH!)
- Bank statements (you can locate debit orders)
- Their pension fund administrators details
- Any business registration certificates and shareholders certificates
- Copies of all their latest policy schedules
- If your parents trust you and you won’t scam them, A list of their logins to their email addresses
- A list of their financial advisors and lawyers and doctors and their contact details
- A list of their creditors and contact details
- A list of their debtors and contact details
- An asset registry with a list of all their assets
- A list of their monthly bills (Dstv, telkom etc and the statements)

2. If this is at all possible, it will save a lot of headache
- Have a meeting with your parents and your siblings to allocate roles and responsibilities in the event of death and record it (written usually or visually if they’re okay with that)
- Write down what their wishes are for their send offs (where do they want to be buried, do they want cremation, singing on singing, which church must conduct etc etc and where the money for all this is coming from). Yea, they won’t be here to dictate to you (🫩) but, it will save you a lot of stress just doing what umufi asked for and everyone (especially the aunts and uncles) know it to be true

3. When your parent does pass away, have the following in the “deceased file”
- Death certificate (and certified copies)
- Hospital or Coroners report or notice of death
- Updated ID with stamp saying Deceased
- Burial notice
- Undertaker Notice

Lastly… get your parents to draft a will with a lawyer and nominate an executor whilst they are still alive 😭🥺😮‍💨 if you can invest in this, it will ease the administrative burden on you guys who have to take over when they are no longer alive.

Losing a parent you are close to is one of the most painful things you’ll ever experience in your existence… help yourself by not having to be in pain and highly frustrated because things weren’t organised when you had the chance.

* I know this is a very difficult subject to tackle at home…and it’s even more difficult to accept the reality of death… but if you do have the privilege of a good relationship with your parents, just try. For everyone else who doesn’t get to do this, I’m really sorry 🫂 I wish things could be better for you ❤️‍🩹

I hope this helps many people.

Are we really gonna judge Gayton on tweets he made when he was a 42 year old kid?

Sorry if I don’t reach out anymore. I’m fighting for my life, second guessing my career path, debating my life choices, scrolling through social media, and sleeping whenever I get free time just to escape reality.

[huh? @Thando______]

How long do you guys reckon the middle class keeps getting hit before they join the poor and start revolting against the system?

[🧚🏾‍♀️ @Thee_Cherri]

Guys. Whats the plan? Genuinely? How are we going to make it work?
