The Star reports that a Gauteng woman has taken to Twitter to describe how bulling and intimidation at work have left her depressed and suicidal.
During her Twitter meltdown, Pulane Moloi talked about how the alleged abuse she endured at Kantar TNS resulted in her suffering fainting spells. She claimed her line manager called her stupid, useless and a horrible person who used her depression and rape to get sympathy from the firm and her colleagues. “I was overworked and given impossible deadlines. I have had my job security threatened on numerous occasions by my then line manager. When I tried to voice a concern or query, I would be told I should be grateful I have a job,” said Moloi, 45. She reported the abuse to the branch chief executive Ivan Moroke, but the company found no fault or guilt on the part of her line manager “based on lack of witnesses as they said it was my word against hers.” Moloi said the company had asked her to stay home in January while it tried to find a better position for her. However, this month the company gave her three options: apply for a software developer job at the Cape Town branch, suggest a department she wanted to work in or get medically boarded. Moloi has lodged a complaint with the CCMA that has been referred to the Labour Court.
