Woman opened up about being dismissed from job

In a TikTok video, @mrssmia2 detailed that she got fired in June 2023 by the company she was working for because she had built a house considered to be too beautiful for the R4 900 (N390,955.12) salary she was earning.

She captioned the post:

“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 point 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,” @mrssmia2 wrote.

People reacted to woman’s story

Many netizens responded to the video with curiosity as they wanted to know whether her reason for being fired was legal and how her bosses knew about her house. Others responded with words of support.

Lola said:

“Sending you love .”

Matsobane replied:

“How do you people from your work place get to know your lifestyle outside work… Ai lena mara.”

Sanele Tshabangu asked:

“Is it legal? .”

Thandiwe Othandwayo said:

“Askies. My cousin was fired back in the day because she used to eat KFC every day for lunch. And according to them, she didn’t “need” the job.”

Smarties wrote:

“It happened to me in 2011.”

Masello commented:

” She no longer gives me overtime because “How can I afford to give my mom 13k ” ka December how much was I saving each month!!!!”
