I recently discovered that the company I work short paid me on my commission and now owes me a rather tidy sum of money. When I found out I deliberated for a couple of days to make the decision if I should claim it or leave it. At the end of the day I decided to claim for it, it is rightfully due to me and there should be no dispute as it states in my contract of employment that a certain amount will be paid out to me and it wasn't.
Of course being the human being that he is, the owner of the company is refusing to pay out the owed amount to me and of course the GM's loyalties lie with him and not with me (or his staff) so together they are now concocting all sorts of tall tales including that "the contract is wrong, it doesn't mean anything and we 'meant' something else" LOL, I kid you not. I spoke to the CCMA and unfortunately because it's commission they can't help me with it and if he doesn't willingly pay my only course of action is to take him to court as it's a civil case. So it's been a tumultuous couple of days. I have since made my peace that I will not be paid, although I still feel that I have a strong case, I can prove everything that I am claiming by hard facts. I am not one for burning bridges but I have also never been treated this way in my working history.
I feel positively yuck from all this negative energy. I do not understand how some people live this way and take their enjoyment in harming others emotionally and constantly fights AND is perfectly ok with it. The whole situation really made me feel awful energetically. I think I'm going to have to clear my chakras tonight and do a cleansing ritual.
Even though I know that there are people who are unethical and dishonest and just plain mean and nasty I am always caught a little off guard and it upsets me when I encounter them. Luckily it isn't a lot and thankfully I have been blessed to remove myself from my current situation as soon as I made the decision to go. Only 14 more sleeps then I don't have to be in this environment anymore.
Can you believe it! You have it in black and white and they are still disputing it...shew Nicci. I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to just wash your hands of them. I hope you love your new job and it's everything you are dreaming of xoxox
ReplyDeleteThis is totally shitty!
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck in your new job and Happy Cleansing...I need one too.
You should NEVER have to weigh up whether the money you are OWED is worth the fight to claim it, or simply walk away. At the same time, even if it was R10 that you are owed, it IS due to you and yes, they are evil and nasty and mean... I also don't "get" people who operate that way and are able to sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteNix, just remember, what goes around comes around. Your windfall is due... as is their downfall.
Hi Nicci
ReplyDeleteI am really missing your posts. I hope that you are OK.
