'Fired on my first day of work'

KUALA LUMPUR: A woman has taken to TikTok to share her untoward experience of being fired on her first day of work at a jewellery shop recently.

In her TikTok video post, user @narieana_ explained that it all seemed fine at first.

Captioning the video, she wrote that she had gone for an interview before receiving a phone call being offered the job, and that she and the employer had agreed upon a salary for her role as the company's marketing executive.

Just half a day into her first day of work, she was told that she would be put into a one week probationary period to evaluate her performance- something she says, was not told during the job-offer call.

Later in the evening, she received the devastating and shocking news, where she was told that her performance was not up to the company's expectations.

"If you didn't plan on hiring me, you shouldn't have offered me the job and should have rejected me during my interview.

"I've already paid for my child's nursery fees so that I could come and work here. But now I've lost my job. Please do not hire and fire like this, as if that person is of no value.

"Please pray for my strength to be given better rezeki (blessing of sustenance)," she added in her TikTok post which has garnered over 2.4 million views so far.

Some netizens who responded to her post advised her to be more careful when taking up a new job, especially not to accept any offers without a black and white agreement.

TikTok user @NASally11 said that requesting an offer letter should be the most important thing done before joining the company.

Some others even suggested that the company fired her in order to hire someone else, within their own circle of friends.

"Usually in such cases, it is not about not being fit (for the job), but rather, they reject you because they want to take in their friend tomorrow," said TikTok user, @terry_321.

Netizens also advised her to report the matter to the Labour Department to seek reasonable compensation for having to go through such a situation.

"Go to the Labour Department (to report), they will (make the employer) pay you two months salary. I got it before," said TikTok user, @rashidah33796.

Wonder if she can apply for EIS since in her last job she did pay but current job haven't paid EIS?

Depend on the HR proceed to registered or not. It is only the first day, and i dont think so.

Why the video take from lubang hidung perspective?

What happened to the warning letters? Or this is ok since she is still under probation?

no such things is probation under industrial law. She probably can fill a case there but as usual people choose to put it on tiktok or other platform to get famous

i once kena fire on 3rd day liao

came in as fresh grad, had to cover for an employee who resign 24hrs notice

i wrongfully sent invoice lol, boss ask me to pack up, and pay me rm100

If she can afford, can fight the company as we have reference case before for unlawful dismissal.

Never kena fire on first day, but i got walk out on the company once very long ago on the first day.

you filled a case in industrial court its not expensive and you dont need lawyer to represent

Dafuq, can do that is it? Seems hardcore

What probation?
She's doesn't even have an OL.
Lol

employers won't fire people on the 1st day lah...unless very rare occasion
they went through all the effort, time, $$$ to hire u...they're not gonna fire that person unless that person did something horribly wrong

No offer letter means she is not hired legally or the company really bawah pokok scammer company that does thing illegally.

Maybe best if she get out and find other job.

because it was quite serious actually, i sent company invoice to our customer, which shows our marked-up price...and also have the vendor address...so customer know our vendor straight away laaa, cut off us as the middle-man 

to my defense, i was mentah one, dont have anyone to show the rope in the office..had to learn from the email trails only

but since its just 3 days, i dont put much thinking on it, and just leave...

still pretty hardcore tho

i last time also freshie worked in a bank for processing payments, i rmb i made a mistake paying less one zero at back and it went thru (amount was in millions btw). had quite a hoohah in business partner office as they looking to chop and grill whoever made the mistake

luckily my manger and asst manger protected me and resolved the issue

but TBH tho the BP damn overreacting cause the solution was damn easy altho BP has to do the extra work (lel). they just need print and create another trail to verify the next transaction to contra with the shortfall

Late to the party, Video 404, removed, what lubang hidung????

Original video was recorded as if from under the table facing upwards into her face, hence lubang hidung. Not much to see though, audio also used one of those sappy sympathy begging music kind so dunno what was being said, just wiping her tears only.
