Contributions

Written by Molilo from the blog Mofire on 07 May 2009
Favourite this post

I grew up in an environment when someone passed away we will contribute something to the bereaved family. Back then funerals were very scarce unlike today.

Now today at my work place an e mail was sent to request contributions from members of a particular union, towards members who were suspended last year March and June.

Bloggers these people I am talking about are professionals how do I contribute for them whereas one of them is busy with tenders and getting fatter?

As members of a union we contribute R40 per month why can’t they take one months contribution of all members and donate to those people.

Fellow bloggers am I selfish or not?

Why do we have to contribute for these people?

Their cases have been going on for quite a long time they should have done something about their situation, applied for other positions and forget about their jobs at this company.

I was even told one of them when the union tried to secure a lawyer for him he said he does not want an amateur lawyer, he will sort himself out.

I hate this donation/ motshedisano and all rubbish things, My pocket money is just enough for my two STORMS everyday after work, I told them yesterday to cut me out of their list of baby showers - I mean I know I can't get babies, so why should I always contribute, funeral all employees have a funeral insurance, why should we bother with our 20cents Ag man. Birthdays - I mean the department spoil you enough by giving you a bonus on your birthday month, so where does our 20cents fit in. Agggggggggg man Blacks tlhalefang

Haiye how can you contribute for such people? Haiye ngeke. Nami Tshepiso i feel you u know i work for a BIG company and i have colleagues and friends e.t.c If no one is leaving, then someone is having a baby, or someone has a funeral and we have to contribute to all of this things?? and it sounds/seem weird when we contribute R10..

Haiye ngeke, mina i just tell them i dont know that person so that i dont have to make no contributions..

LOL speaking of Contributions, there's this other girl at work who was on Maternity leave in Sept - November 08 and came back to work in December 2008. Obviously there was a baby shower and we bought gifts and everything, now guess what, she's going on maternity leave AGAIN next week and they sent an email for a baby shower before she goes and I was like "thank goodness" I'm on study leave that day ....hayi...singaphela! The babies will be 9 months apart, tjo ke a o tshaba mdavazo! tl tl tl tl tl

Hayi shame i'm a sucker for contributions.....i always contribute...........in December i contributed to a baby shower of a woman who never greets me.......her office is next to my cubicle..........she never greets or say anything....but she will greet her "people" with a broad smile.....she's back from the maternity leave and still doesn't greet......WITCH...........

If they were retrenched I would understand. They were suspended meaning, they did something wrong and are now paying for their mistakes. I would not contribute at all

Molilo
08 May 2009 08:14

Two of them were dismissed, the one who is still suspended is busy with tenders.
My question is why did they wait for a year they could have marketed themselves.

The month of March was the worst for these contributions here at work.

First, a contribution for a male colleague's first baby (note September last year was a collection for his wedding)
Secondly, another employee resigned after 18yrs of service at the company - we were told to be a "bit generous" bcoz its 18yrs.
Lastly, the MD was turning 50 on the 20th of March again enye imali.

Mind you all these things before month end becoz lo we 18yrs was leaving end of March and the boss's birthday on the 20th.

Mina i don't mind contributing as long as it's for someone on the same floor as i am, since vele our organisation is HUGE.

There were 3 weddings in december last year, but i decided not to contribute ngoba these women don't even greet me. So when they returned from their wedding fevers one of them asks me ukuthi why i didn't go to her wedding. And they she got cross at me ngoba everyone was making a fuss at her post-wedding event and her "beautiful ring" i didn't. And then manje she's not talking to me....... mxcccm, nonsense!!!

since i started working i have been invited to 3 babyshowers(300), one house warming (100) , 2 weddings(200 excluding the one that i mentioned above) total = 1000 oh my god. not forgetting the birthday contributions .

hhayi nna shame we seldomly do contributions here .... maybe 2 or 3 times a year this year we only contributed for the 40th bday of our HR and i did because that woman is so sweet and very helpful when you need something from HR dept, then around OCT-November we contribute for orphans so they can get Xmas presents ...so it no stress

When it is your birthday, you bring us cake and my Boss(since i joined) has been buying cake and snacks when it is my birthday, beneefits of being the youngest in the team. We dont do babyshower thing. If it is a funeral we just go to church and do our offerings there.

This guy we work had a wedding in Nov 2007,and I had been working here for six months.I got invited to the wedding and we contributed R50pp towards the present.
On the morning of the wedding ka bo ma 6 phakela,he calls me and asks me to drive the bride to church in my car,and had to be at his wife-to-be's home at 8:30 and I agreed(mainly because I was a newbie and I didnt want the new colleagues to think that I wasn't a nice person.And mind you,the colleagues had agreed to leave ka convoy at 11:00).So I had to wake up,wash the car MYSELF,something I'd never do (because car washes don't open that early) and off I went to the bride's home in my new clothes.The bride's home is 80km away.He didnt contribute for my petrol or anything and he is one of the people who didn't bother to visit me while I was sick.Le ene o nyele,no more help from this FINE ASS SISTA CALLED LEX,NX!

To Belz - my dear i learned the hard way. people is just a few who will apreciate what you have done for them and remember you. o tla cut cabbage and cook samp and do salads the whole night ko lenyalong. and when you need help they wont help.

i work my butt off for what i earn so why just throw it on the drain after working so hard for it,

my friend's other friend bought her a nice expensive bag for her birthday so my friend told me that kana she will be expecting something bigger and nice from her for her birthday. i told her you need to explain to her how you feel about the whole thing. she didnt , the next thing she was complaining hey they had a fight cause she bought her a Givency cologne for her birthday and she was expecting something bigger.
