An employer is calling out an ex-employee and her mother for allegedly making demands despite apparently barely doing any work, after the mother had asked for the job on behalf of her daughter, who is a fresh graduate.

Netizen, nikmujahidah, who runs a baking business, took to her Threads account to share how the ex-employee had only worked for 4 days before she quit without notice. However, following this, the mother threatened legal action against the business owner should she not pay her salary for the 4 days she worked.

She wrote, “During the job interview, I told her that we needed workers for the production of a Hari Raya project for 2 months. Only for 2 months.”

“It’s not easy to train new people with zero experience, so I gave her a condition that if she wants the job but leaves during the 1 week trial period, she won’t get paid. During the interview, she agreed to this.

However, the ex-employee then quit her job 4 days in, without any notice.

“(The mum) asked for 4 days worth of salary for her kid’s work. She didn’t even make it to the production stage, (at that time) it was just the briefing (stage) heading towards the production stage.”

“She requested to stop (working) because she had become tired, had to stand for a long time and she kept complaining,” she added.

 

The mum’s involvement

The baking entrepreneur also included screenshots of the WhatsApp messages between her and the mum, where the mum had actually approached her and asked for a job for her kid, before arranging the job interview.

After her daughter had quit the job, the mum returned to the WhatsApp chat to ask for a 4-day salary, despite the daughter having allegedly agreed to no pay should she quit within a week.

When nikmujahidah responded by telling the mum to get her daughter to reach out herself, the mum questioned why her daughter wasn’t getting paid and that she’d take legal action for the sake of the 4-day salary.

She also clarified that she pays employees based on projects and not by the day, adding that the ex-employee had allegedly quit before the Hari Raya project could even start.

 

The moral of the story

In the end, nikmujahidah shared that employers should avoid job applicants who require their mothers to help them apply for the job.

“The lesson is, don’t give jobs to people who need their mothers to come and ask for the job. If not, this will happen. The (ex-employee’s) mum scolded me and asked why I didn’t inform parents on the condition of the salary,”

“I’m sorry, ma’am, we are running a business, not an educational institution where we have to reach out to everyone’s parents. We pay employees, so we will inform the employee. Everything is in the agreement contract, which was supposed to be signed after the trial period. But, before anything can happen, she had already quit,” she added.
