Imagine one day you are working at a company that you have been at for over six years then COVID 19 hits. You get sent home and told to log your hours and work from home. You do this with no hesitation (you are HR manager/debt collector/accommodation/finance-order book after all), you put in more hours than you do on a normal day at the office because you want to help the employees with their UIF TERS claim, you work long hours and give constant feedback to Top Management as per the instructions given out via e-mail where they tell you you will only be paid for the hours you log and that are approved.

You do as you are told from March 26th to April 30th and then BANG you get an email from the MD saying you must consider handing in your resignation with a list of needs to leave quietly or face going into a disciplinary hearing that he can guarantee you will lose and be fired.  Gobsmacked at the nerve of the email you ponder for days and relook at your time at the company that has been wonderful until March 2019 where due to unforeseen circumstances you go off your head and attempt suicide (failing at that too) then go back to work where a “concerned” Director asks you what is wrong and not to be afraid to speak about ANYTHING.  You tell him and his sidekick because you actually believed that they cared only to be faced with the hardest year following your reveal of been depressed and suicidal.  The “concerned” director tried to get rid of you (bragging to the employees that you will not have a job soon) his “soon” take a full year and in that time you are given another spec (Safety) to do that are not familiar with but you do it without a complaint and in fact excelled at it.   Now bear in mind please that you are now doing five different jobs.

Negotiations begin and you finally give up and settle for an amount that couldn’t help you for more than 3 months – May to July.  August to date is a struggle and you lose EVERYTHING including your family and friends.  You get kicked out of your home that you have had for four years and have to rehome your animals. You sell all your household content and try and figure out what the next move is.  It is difficult to be employed with your age, race, and sex against you, and the fact that you don’t have a degree but actual HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE for 26 years also doesn’t help your situation.

So the question is:  Is the current situation you facing the Negative effects of COVID 19 or not?

I don't know what do say. 😔 That's a lot for me to to be positive about. Like everything went wrong. And if I told you, look at the brighter side, which brighter side am I pertaining to? If I was that, I have to deep breathe. Like maybe ten times before I can try to compose myself and think what was going on and what I'm going to do. Is it Covid? Maybe? Maybe not? No matter what, have to face it with my heads up!

That's constructive dismissal. They broke the law as soon as they said "resign or you'll be fired. Go to the CCMA. Guaranteed win.
