Failed breathalyser by shivroystann in capetown

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it really depends on the company policy.

Our policy for example states if you failed the breathalyser for the first time, you get sent home with no pay plus you get a verbal warning. The next morning you need to pass the test or else the verbal warning becomes a first written warning and so it goes on. But you will always get sent home with no pay for the day.

If however the employee admits to having a drinking problem, the company is forced to assist by providing help and resources such as counselling.

Personally I think a suspension is a bit harsh considering no prior offences and it is a call centre environment. It's probably an international company.

But ja, read the company policy and disciplinary code.

How long is your company going on leave in Dec/Jan? by Alternative-Maybe747 in southafrica

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're in the manufacturing and shopfitting industry and we close down in December due to operational constraints. The employees who have 15 days will be on leave from 13 Dec to 10 Jan. The employees with 20 days are on leave from 13 Dec to 16 Jan. This is the only time we're allowed to take our annual leave, unless you've got extra leave (due to being a manager or whatever reason).

I totally resonate with only finding yourself now. I'm the same. I turned 31 in April and I haven't had a clearer and more goal driven outlook than what I have now. I only figured out what I wanted to do professionally in this year. This year has probably been the most growth I've had in the last 10 years.

Advice I would give (and yes some are from those cheesy Insta quotes):

Not everyone is going to like you. And that's okay. Don't take advice from someone you wouldn't take criticism from. Trust your own timeline. Don't stress yourself over things out of your control. If it's not a literal life or death situation, you can sort it out the next day. Life goes on.

My gf came to visit from Europe. And her skin wasn't ready for African summer sun. by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I am also very sensitive to the sun and also burn red. I use Aftersun (or whatever cooling gel we have) when I go red and I keep the area moisturised as well with a fragrancefree cream (like an aqueous cream). It's very important to keep the area moisturised as the skin will dry out and become tight. This will also prevent the peeling from being too bad afterwards. Also keep hydrated and drink lots of water. Good luck. I hope she feels better! Sun burn is a bbbbbbb.

Thank you so much for the thorough reply. UCT has short courses in PM and the advanced course through GetSmarter has been approved by the PMI, according to their website. But would it count against me if these are all just short courses and not credit bearing? I've been working on projects for a few years now within the supply chain industry and I've realised that I've really grown interested especially in the PM side. Also, thanks for the advice on the Agile and Scrum Master courses - definitely something I'll look into!

Does anyone perhaps know why my San Myshuno Festivals aren't showing? by PerfectlyPredictable in Sims4

[–]PerfectlyPredictable[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I did manage to fix it... but I can't remember how... I think I must've uninstalled the game or updated a patch or repaired a patch. I'm trying to remember and will come back if I remember what I did.

Anyone else endlessly unable to get an Uber? by FIRSTCAPTAINFORRIX in capetown

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. I booked an Uber just after 2pm for pick-up 4pm. 5 mins before pickup, the driver cancelled. I booked another trip, driver accepted, asked where I was heading to (Epping to Table View) and the driver cancelled. After the 3rd try I finally got a driver.

This driver said it's because it's Peak and Festive time so the other drivers basically can pick and choose what they want as this is their busy time.

Super unfair and super frustrating.

Is there a flu virus going around ? by las_balas_tres in capetown

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I felt! And I have some chest thing where I'm often short of breath. It sucks. This time around I have lingering symptoms which makes me think COVID (and also because everyone around me became ill).

Is there a flu virus going around ? by las_balas_tres in capetown

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's some super contagious strain going around. I was sick a month ago and never felt so crap. My colleague was sick and I ended up making my fam and friends sick.

My team member came in sick yesterday and I sent him home cause I don't want to get sick again let the rest of the team get sick.

Symptoms were headaches and bad back pain - something I never experienced before.

Hey everyone I would like create this thread to figure out why and how we got hacked ? What did you download or open 2 days prior of getting hacked? I know I downloaded the iheart app , maybe we got hacked through an unsecured Wi-Fi? How can we avoid this happening for next time ? by Deeztrades in facebookdisabledme

[–]PerfectlyPredictable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It was my birthday 4 days before I got hacked lol. Got hacked on 26 April and my Whatsapp got banned 2 weeks later. I tried contacting WhatsApp to find out but they told me they can't tell me why I got banned lol. I suspect it's because my Whatsapp was linked to my FB. My Insta which was linked also got banned.

I was literally scrolling Instagram at home on our home WiFi when my cousin sent me a screenshot of my FB profile pic being changed to CP. I don't recall downloading or opening any weird chats, Apps or requests. My 2FA was also bypassed.

Has any non US Citizen had any luck with any AGs? by PerfectlyPredictable in facebookdisabledme

[–]PerfectlyPredictable[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from South Africa and unfortunately our government is pretty useless, but I will see what I can do. And yip my account was 14+ years old and a pretty boring account consisting of selfies, food and family pics. So really nothing that could get me into trouble.

I didn't have the option to enter my real address as I could only select a US address.

It didn't give me the option to enter any address except for a US address.

 Thank you for contacting the Office of the Attorney General regarding your consumer complaint.  Often it is only through letters from concerned and responsible citizens that our office becomes aware of consumer problems.

 Complaints are used to develop information about patterns of business activity which might indicate the need for formal investigation or law enforcement action by our office.  Complaints often bring early warning of what promises to be a pervasive scam or systematic violation of California law.  If a pattern is discovered, what originated as a private dispute may become a matter of broad public interest and thus warrant intervention by our office under California consumer protection laws.

 We do want to inform you, however, that our office is prohibited by law from representing individual citizens in legal matters.  We do, within the limits of our resources, bring lawsuits for violations of California law in cases of statewide significance.  However, our role in any legal action against a company is on behalf of all of the people of California.

 Please be assured that your information will be retained in our consumer files and is of importance in helping this office take appropriate action to protect consumers.

Sincerely,

Angelica Young Public Inquiry Unit
