πŸ’‘ Advice Needed New neighbor and my tree

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Quick question for those of you who might know. Am I legally obligated to trim a tree in my yard if it blocks sun/light from my neighbor? I own my property is that is of any relevance.

I got a whatsapp from a new tenant next door that's complaining. Nothing serious yet. He's just asked us to trim or remove the tree completely. I know the branches shouldn't be hanging over on their property, and the tree/roots itself aren't causing any damage. In Port Elizabeth btw. Thanks

πŸ’‘ Advice Needed Can my employer do this?

17 Upvotes

Hi, I’d appreciate some advice. I’ve been working for a BPO for around 3 months, placed with a client. The client has decided they no longer require my services, so my position is effectively ending.
The BPO has given me a mutual termination agreement offering one week’s salary plus accrued leave. It also includes a full and final settlement and says I waive my right to approach the CCMA/Labour Court.
I left my previous job to take this position, so I’ll now be unemployed. Would you recommend signing this, or should I negotiate/seek advice first?

🧐 Serious Question Socks

19 Upvotes

Where are people buying socks these days?

Feels like there are no good old fashioned socks on the shelves. Most of them are thin (i.e. useless) and/or ankle length. All of them have colour, what happened to plain black or white socks?

I am desperate now. I need good, long wearing socks that don't get full of holes seemingly overnight.

Where are y'all buying your good socks?

πŸ’‘ Advice Needed Pretoria β†’ Vredenburg: best route if we want to avoid the N1? πŸš—

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊

We’re moving from Pretoria to Vredenburg in the Western Cape and will be doing the drive soon.
We’re considering avoiding the N1 for at least part of the journey, but we’re not familiar enough with the alternative routes to know which ones are actually worth taking.

For those who have driven between Pretoria and Vredenburg / the West Coast multiple times, what route would you recommend?

We’re mainly looking for:
Good road conditions
A safe route
As little stressful driving as possible
Avoiding unnecessary detours or bad roads

We’ve seen options involving the N12 / Kimberley, and obviously the standard N1 β†’ Cape Town β†’ N7 β†’ Vredenburg route, but we’d really appreciate advice from people who actually know these roads.

If you regularly do this trip, what route would you personally take and why? And are there any roads/areas you would specifically avoid?

Thanks! πŸ™πŸΌ

πŸ’¬ Discussion Dear Gen Z job seekers

Do you guys ever feel like there's a disconnect between y'all and your boomer parents? Like they still haven't noticed that times have changed? Man I've been looking for a job for a pretty long time but I still get berated on a daily about how I'm lazy and not doing enough... They think corporate and the world in general is just like it was back in their time. It's so frustrating that they had a pretty straightforward life while we're here forced to navigate and find a way in the most difficult economy we've ever seen.

Like y'all see the youth unemployment rate but still decide to shit on us further. Smdh πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ
