Company fires lady earning N390k salary for building a house
A South African lady from Limpopo has opened up on her devastating experience of being fired from her job in June 2023 allegedly because the house she built was deemed too extravagant for her salary.
In a TikTok video that has gone viral, @mrssmia2 recounted the shocking events surrounding her termination.
According to the lady, her employer dismissed her on the grounds that the house she had constructed exceeded the expectations of someone earning a monthly salary of R4,900 (equivalent to N390,955.12).
The young woman expressed her dismay and frustration at the situation.
“The following morning after being fired, I started focusing on my business. The trauma of going through private investigators, lie detector tests, having my accounts being checked, I told myself that I will live for the content of my house.
People still can’t believe 4.9 can build a house if you substitute it with small extra incomes. One day, I will gather strength to go live or post a story,” the lady wrote.
