Downtown Joburg

From an Uber window with my destination was Fox Street to be precise. A visit to the CCMA to attend an arbitration with one of our young people that we had to let go. It was clear she had no case and the Conciliator was less than impressed.

What always amazes me though is the vitriol that comes with such occasions and I was left in no doubt as to how she felt about me at the end.

But it wasn’t my decision and her behaviour was the cause of her termination so I am not going to lose any sleep over it.

My sneaky colleague however recorded the whole sorry affair on her phone tucked into a tiny handbag. Why? I asked. The others were hoping to see her lose in person, but hearing her make a fool of herself will be enough, she replied. Seemingly there were a number of them queuing to be part of today.

Needless to say I was very happy to get home to some peace and quiet.
