SHOPRITE ABOVE THE LABOUR RELATIONS ACT

SHOPRITE ELIM

"Tiishejo Ngobeni, as the personnel manager for Shoprite Elim, has unfairly dismissed me without cause. She claimed, I did not scan a customer's R29.99 morvite porridge item. The claim came days after the supposed incident, but there is no evidence despite my request, let alone security footage or witnesses.

As normal practice, I should have seen...:

> the security officer who discovered it. > the customer who bought the item. > the item claimed to have not been scanned. > this on the same day it happened, or otherwise > the footage for evidence.

All these are the points I indicated in the disciplinary hearing but were dismissed without notice. I even asked:

> why did I learn about it days after the incident despite having chatted with her on several occasions in between? > why did I learn it through the phone when at home and from a colleague, while I was at work in between> > why is the case heard on the day the concerned security officer is not at work? > why is the charge sheet written "serious misconduct" while it would have been my first had it really occurred? > why was I given a copy of the charge sheet, not the original?

I believe this unfair dismissal without warning was due to jealous:

> she is competing with me in quality of makeup, dressing, and perfume I wear. > she had earlier reckoned that she will show me that Shoprite will dismiss me > this could have been aggravated by my family member when he complained about the lack of shopping trolleys in the shop while there are many trolleys outside.

She has unfairly used the name of Shoprite to fight her personal wars and unfortunately we do not know where to report all these, hence we put it on this platform hoping it reaches the relevant office.
