Stellenbosch wine farm ordered to pay R800 000 to employee it fired when she gave birth to baby

[Cosmik Debris]

So much is wrong with how things were handled. I hope the lady takes the money and walks away. R800K can do quite a bit; she could buy a flat, go on holiday, invest it, etc.

A flat in Cape Town for R800k?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Maybe the family business types, most CEOs I know take themselves very seriously.

Seen this guys education yet?

A flat in Cape Town for R800k?

She won't need artificial insemination next time.

I live right here and also have family in the industry and I’ve never heard of this wine farm before.

Considering their business practises I’m not at all surprised.

They're very expensive, had an old colleague that worked there, also worked herself half to death, but never had a bad word to say about them.

And yet despite all this rambling, I am still happy with my decision. There are countries where you can start up and run a proper business without fearing crazy laws, crazy governments and crazy courts.

You think it's crazy that they weren't allowed to fire someone for being pregnant or taking sick leave? Even after discussing maternity leave with her?

 

[Willie Trombone]

Most CEOs have the grammar and intelligence of a manager at a car wash, all they say is, I dont give a fck, just get it done

How long have you been a CEO?

 

[Willie Trombone]

None of those teach the business blue book basics. That said, he could have googled it.

 

[Cray]

Book smarts is not always smart

I would have thought that his MBA would have taught him a few things about running a business..

Yes, and what? Saltzman's education is also not too shabby.

The bar is set very low. All you need is the right connections

Also need gift of gab and some HR ladies who will gush over you at every opportunity.

Mind your tongue. He is our best Collapse Encouragement Officer. You find a happy situation and he will find collapse, destruction and apocalypse. Try saying something good about SA ?

Strawman. Discuss this guy's education. But that might be a bit difficult for you...

Looks like you are the one coming up with the strawman, why should I discuss the guy's education? It's not the subject of this thread.

He shouldn't have made the basic mistake with his education. But you would battle to realise that. Not your fault.

He has made the basic mistake with all his education, so what now?
