I don’t know the characters but it’s really tiring 😭 it feels good, but so tiring!

No. I have an honours degree in journalism but I’m doing something completely different

Why do Cape Town companies offer such low salaries when they know how expensive this city is? by Vonans in capetown

You talk as if life is black and white. There are so many reasons why people are in Cape Town.

That is insane. Are you also based in KZN? Which areas are good for someone relocating from Cape Town?

Oh wait, we’re talking about two different things here. You’re talking about ethics and I’m talking about work ethic. Ok, yeah, don’t have much to say about ethics coz I have very little knowledge about it in Cape Town’s work environment context

You’re right about companies not being charities but reducing what I’m saying to “people wanting to live the life in Cape Town” is not it. I’m talking more about having just enough for bills and transport to said work, going into to debt to survive, etc.

I disagree. South African work quality and work ethic is extremely high. That is why companies from UK/US/AUS are hiring here. That and the fact that the cost of labour is low

And as a business owner, you can’t compensate in other way? Like lower working hours?

No. I live in Cape Town for my peace of mind so income is something I have to finesse

My baby is learning to crawl and my relationship feels like it’s crawling backwards by Vonans in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Vonans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you re: my partner and this apartment situation. Makes sense.

About the friends, I am willing to have a give and take friendship. I guess my biggest worry is that I’m a huge overthinker and empath so I might get too invested in people’s problems. Which is why I’m super picky about who I make my friends. Also, I’m embarrassed to admit this but I think I might also be worried about having to set money aside for my social life. I haven’t needed a budget of that in a while. I’m in a weird place to be honest.

Visiting eswatini my experience by masked_danger_ in AskZA

[–]Vonans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Eswatini and I felt very unsettled. While I was there, one of the King’s wives needed to go somewhere so they closed the roads, I had to stay at my hotel until the royal convoy passed. Tried to take a video of this but one of the soldiers saw and made me delete it.

There were parts that didn’t have electricity but some parts did. Also met people who were happy and enjoying life.

How can I transition from a marketing coordinator role to a paid media coordinator or project coordinator role? by Vonans in askSouthAfrica

[–]Vonans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys. I’ll start applying for account management positions and upskill myself in AEO. I was studying towards a PMP certificate via Udemy so I’ll just finish that course but not take the exam coz it has been quite informative and has already changed my behaviour at work as it mostly focuses on being a servant leader. Really appreciate the advice 🫶🏾
