Bad working experience

Good day

I worked for Food *****s Market for last past 9 months. I have over 15 years of experience in the retail industry, and I must say that Food ***** Market Waterfall ridge is worse place I’ve ever worked for in my entire career in retail. Bad management- the management is so unprofessional and ***********. The are so rude and disrespectful and if you are trying to report them you become the target. I can’t even begin to count the number of people that resign the in the last 9 months of working there that keeps me wondered why the head office doesn’t take a step forward to resolve the matter.

Reason for resignation- it happened that 2 different customers come to my till simultaneously from different queues and instead of the assistant manager diffusing the situation she went in and sweared at me, shouted at me. I don’t think I was at fault but instead I become victimized and violated by her. Took it up with the store manager he had already concluded that I was fault. The management there is very toxic, unprofessional and they lack management skills, they make environment there to be toxic and unbearable to work in.

What worries me the most is that my contract stipulates that I should serve 2 weeks’ notice but given circumstances I couldn’t serve my notice because I was now the target for speaking up. I expected to be paid for two weeks as my notice I worked, and they would obviously deduct the other 2 weeks as my notice period instead I only got paid 490. I was supposed to get half of the R5000 which could be R2500.

I requested my payslip from HR assisted and enquired about this and she told me to take it up with the HR manager which I did but the HR manager has been blue ticking my WhatsApp massage, I even tried to call her on 6th of September, but she never picks my calls or get back to me until today.

I am helpless in this situation, and I will appreciate your assistance.
