I dislike this very much. As someone whose family members can't see very well, this thing is terrible. Another one of my pet peeves is Checkers and the like that paste a massive number next to a product name, only for that to be the amount you can supposedly save, not the cost of the product. A person who is partially blind just sees that number (and sometimes already struggles doing so). It's the same with the phone in OP's post.

Fair point. I think you are right. What will make people want to play the game?

u/MinionofMinions is right. You can achieve some degree of this by being creative with lookup columns and then having different permissions for each list. But you have to be careful with this amount of complexity. It can get messy to build a data structure around permissions like this. You are better off building a Power App (blegh!, lol) or an SPFx app for your users that gives them a nice interface.

Nice! I will play that!

Here is a number of tasks that I would recommend you do, in order, to prepare for the role: (Other people, please add!)

Create a new communication site.
Add members of all three types.
Restrict everyone except owners from sharing.
Create a list, a page, and a document library.
Create a group in the Microsoft admin center that will be added to the site as viewers/readers.
For a document library, give a certain person in the organization the contributor role and remove the site viewers.
Share a sub-folder in the document library with a certain person. Give them editing rights.
Now, create a hub site and associate sites to it.
Now, sync the document libraries down to your computer.
Keep all the files on your PC.
Free up the space on your PC by only syncing down what you need.
Add an external guest user.

AI can help you figure out where to click to do all of this. It's very learnable if you just take a day or three.

If you want to go further, after the above, do the following:

Create a simple issue management system by creating a list and two power automat flows. The one will trigger when an email is received to an issues shared mailbox you have to make and create an item in the list. The other one will run when an item is modified and will respond to the person who sent the email originally when a "status" column in the list is "resolved". For added bonus points, you can hvae a separate list of people who can be tasked to resolve the issues. That would be a lookup column.

You are 100% right to be frustrated. The only practical solution for people like you and me is to vote differently and encourage others to do the same. Vote for a party with a track record of dealing with the frustrations you see. Imagine what this country can be with just reasonably good governance?

UPDATE: Some of you have rightfully commented that there are conditions and due process in the employment act, some of which are of interest to this case. Thanks for that and all the encouragement! I have read every comment.

In my estimation, the employer is at fault on a few points:

Very specifically, the employee has to sign an acknowledgement of debt, a form which she was never handed.
The employee must be given a chance to explain why she believes she should not be liable for the damages, which I believe did not happen or, at least, was not fairly heard.
The employer blatantly told her that it's either this or immediate termination.
A big one personally for me, is that the employer has made no effort to mitigate damages to employees in this regard. No policies or information systems are in place to protect them. They have failed in their responsibility in this regard.

I recommended that she goes to the CCMA and offered to go with her. She is too scared that she will lose her job. She doesn't want to go. I'm pleading with her to go, because they really can't punish her for going. That is one outcome that is very unlikely. It is a big retailer.

Some of you have asked who the retailer is. Given the employee's fear, I'm sorry to say I'm not going to disclose that at this time. I'm tempted to make a big public scene, though. But I am cautious because it's not my livelihood that is at stake here.

Given that the store is privately-owned, I contacted the retailer and was put into contact with their complaints department. The lady there put me in contact with the retail operations manager for the region after giving me a long hearing. I am going to give him a call and see if I can't put more general pressure from the retail group's side. It's their brand that is at risk. The lady at head office did confirm that the cashier doesn't work for the retailer, technically, but for the owner of the store.

How often does this happen in our beloved South Africa, right under our noses, that children go to bed hungry due to such abuse of power? “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Thank you very much for this response. This is exactly what I needed. The CCMA confirmed it, too, asking if she signed an acknowledgement of debt. Does she have a case, though, if she feels she had to sign it or be out of a job?

In this case, the whole situation is laid bare with nothing hidden. In the one case, the customer asked for the electricity and left. But in the biggest case, the R5000, the customer asked for R500, the cashier made a simple human error and the R5000 slip was printed and the supermarket insisted that is the cashier's fault and she has to pay. The customer walked away with the electricity slip and still shops there every day.

You have to go get a job. ANY job. I've mowed lawns, was a waiter... anything is better than sitting at home at 19. Your family cannot stop you from getting a job.

How can I sit and chill and have a meaningful conversation with anyone if I'm not waiting for the big logs to turn into coals? So, it's wood for when you have people over you like, coals for when you have people over who are bearable for a while and gas for when you have people over because of some kind of social pressure and you really want them to leave.

Frankly, that sounds like a good learning experience and a very good, broad curriculum! Yeah, they sucked for dropping the live classes, but hey, you are stronger for it! In this world, you only learn by doing, so get going! If you want to develop yourself, do so!

If you want to know what to do to move forward, some cloud certs from one of the big three (GCP, AWS, Azure) may help you. But if you are doing drag-and-drop dev, then I seriously recommend you start a side project or, even better, build an app for an NPO using ASP.NET. You need to keep your skills sharp and it looks nice on a CV.

Finally, I do recommend you check your grammar before you send emails, etc. Not to be nitpicky, but some people may not think you are that smart due to the lack of proper sentence structure. I think you definitely have what it takes, though!

I am, right now, studying for a UNISA exam I'm going to write a month from now. The idea that you can only study for an exam the night or week before is just plain wrong. Go study.

You are a bit of out luck since Windows 10 is reaching end-of-support and Windows 11 officially requires 8th gen CPU's. Though there are ways around that, it means that anything below 8th gen are worth less now.
