How she knew her workers quit
Sharing her story on TikTok while showcasing a recent job she executed, the business lady said she expected her workers to resume for the new year on January 6.
However, she found only her supervisor and driver when she arrived at the office. When she placed calls to her workers, only one picked and he told her he did not know she expected them to resume immediately.
Resigning to fate, the lady said she cut her losses and forged ahead with the supervisor and driver. Her story in part read:
"Can you imagine all your staff stopped working after Christmas? Yes, that was what happened to us.
"Let me gist you guys. It is quite funny but as a cleaning business owner, you should be prepared for anything. After spending resources and energy to train them.
"Once they become competent they still want to leave and nothing you do will actually keep them. My resumption time for the year was 6th of January. I went to the office and it was just the supervisor and the driver that were around. I called all the cleaners and they were not picking up.
"One person that managed to pick up said he did not know that we were going to start immediately. After we informed everybody that we were to resume on the 6th. I just counted my losses and took the supervisor and the driver. That's how we went to fulfil that job and we scaled through."
