Introducing the “WHY DO” series on my channel.
Today, we are answering 3 “why do” questions
1. Why do employers ask prospective employees what their salary expectations are in job Interviews?
2. Why do we justify why we are taking leave?
3. Why do ya’ll repost our WhatsApp statuses without removing our names?
#EmploymentPractices#WhyDo#RoadTo15k - Розваги
The salary question is asked by companies that want to pay less than market rated, so they wanna make sure that you are already underpaid
On blocking people from viewing WhatsApp statuses; never thought I’d get to this point. I blocked a couple of people and I’ve had so much peace since🙌🏾 people really get familiar and think they can have an opinion
Exactly
Congratulations on 10k Subbies, 🎉 That salary question really annoys me! If a company has budgeted a fair market related salary, how much others are paying me and how much I expect to earn should be irrelevant. Benchmark the role and put a cost to it and let the candidate decide if its fair or not and negotiate from there Qha. We dont walk into woolworths asking how much others were willing to pay and they dont ask us how much we would like to pay. They set a price they think is fair and we take it or leave it.
So true. 💯
The salary chat is so true! Feel like the salary expectation question is a set up (most of the time). Also, let’s go back to the days when prospective employers published salaries range along with the job spec info.
It would make life so much easier 🥴
The leave one is hitting me way too hard. When asked why I take annual leave, I just say: "to attend to personal matters". When it cones to sick leave: "to attend to a medical issue". I find that these responses answer the question while maintaining my privacy. It still hecks me that we have to answers them though.
It’s very tricky 🥺
We made it to 10K🤩🙌🏾 Congratulations and yes we love it here💃🏾 15K soon, just watch🤞🏾
The salary question is really tricky, some companies even go as far as asking for your complete CTC without them even telling you what they are offering. I think it would be better if they would give us a range of what they are willing to offer so that you know what you are working with.
The leave thing, it’s not just in the legal industry where they expect you to have capacity when it’s going down. It’s kinda unfair sometimes and especially if you have to explain the why. Nna sometimes I just say it’s for personal reasons that I do not wish to disclose.
The screenshot thing is weird, I hate it.
That Ndamoes clip you inserted was the right way to respond to criticism
Goo Day Atli,
I absolutely agree with you on all these points:
Point 1: I too don't like this question at all. Those potential employers ask this question only to gauge who they can get that is the cheapest to them. This is unfair as others even go to the lengths of requesting salary payslips of the potential employees as you mentioned of their current earnings and that is straight up an invasion of privacy because that is confidential. All they should be doing is putting out the job post with the remuneration they're offering and the intended market will respond to the post.
Point 2: The constant explanation to what one is entitled to really though? But I guess they want to control the numbers when it comes to matters of employees tending to abuse this privilege and/or right🤷
Point 3: The block button is there for a reason and to be honest some people are (confounded) nuisances, forward even and you really don't want them to be seeing you in that type of light or setting, so we keep it moving. They must just deal.
Shout-Out Atli 🤘🤘
#WhyDo
Can't wait🎉🎉
This one seems like it's gonna be so helpful
Congratulations babes 🥳
Hi, great video 😍🔥 Can you please expand on salary expectations and how to go about answering that question, so as to not put yourself in a disadvantageous position with a prospective employer 🙏
I'm late, but congrats on the 11000 subbies. Your content is so lovely and relatable. Siyabonga Ms Govuza.
Love the concept!✨
Yaiy 🥳
Lol Q3 - protection of intellectual property- give credit where its due🤣🤣🤣
But yes, let's block! I reposted for the first time today actually, and thought it was "proper" to include the name, you taught me something new.
Love this segment, let’s go..
Whoop 🙌🏽 🥳
Q1 - it's complicated... yes it's about filtering whether they can afford you or not, also whether your expectation is well considered (or you want to jump from 10K to 60K for no special reason)and the payslip is to compare benefits like for like in structuring a compatitive package. If they like you in the interview, they will do best to secure you for the job.
The reason they don't advertise is likely for competitiveness - against other employers...
Yes, there are biases (gender, race, educational institutions) but there's also a science behind compensation and benefit administration
Special reason is I QUALIFY!!! ...
@@mslettiemathibe71 then it shouldn't be difficult to defend that. In essence, what do you bring to this role that you lacked in the last? What value do you add... what has increased your value add (experience, not just time served)...
I'm interested in the science behind compensation... Give Receipts
Thank you for this answer. It makes sense 🙏🏾🌸
I don't think you are given the chance to defend why you qualify for that salary.
The only chance you had was your cover letter.
The company does not engage you in that kind of conversation.
Thank you for your content❤
Love it here 🥺❤🤞🏿
Thanks sis 🥲🙏🏾🌸
Off topic: you are so pretty and I love how goofy your laugh is 😂
Haha thank you 🥲🙏🏾
Totally agree
Thanks again Atli
Also, I like this - don't have questions, but I like this theme... and your content in general- your delivery is refeshing...
Thank you for the thumbs up 🥲
lol, I love how the first impression one would get looking at you is that you would not be relatable, kanti nix, you speak truth to the T
It’s the “why am I exposing myself today?!” 🤣🤣🤣 baybeeee 🤣🙏🏾 o chill byang wena
😂💀
(About salary expectations) Some employers really create a fight and jealousy amongst the employees.
I remember 1 day, when I was paid for Basic hours, Extra time, and appreciation the bonus on top, others were paid for only Basic.
I have seen this act making people feel less💔💔💔💨
This can be a tricky situation 🥺
lit
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
🙏❤️
You’re so beautiful Atle!
You’re very kind 🥲🙏🏾🌸
Lol I repost with the name because I don't wanna plagiarize, lol I wanna give credit to the person who posted.
You are so passionate about the WhatsApp statuses hey 😂 😂 😂
Please, and thanks 😅
I am ready to hear your thoughts 💭
I THOUGHT you slapped yourself @4:34 lol
The employers salary question. If you think about it what they're doing is completely unethical and it's exactly like the unwritten rule that people shouldn't discuss their salaries with one another, because everytime that happens someone realises that they're being exploited and takes it up with management, which they're not happy about. I think this entire question should be made illegal because it severely takes advantage of people who lack negotiating skills and those who are not aware of their worth, those people usually being people in manual labour based professions/entry level candidate who are already being taken advantage of on a daily basis.
Essentially, capitalism continues to capitalise on our lack of knowledge about the system and we need to stop it in it's tracks.
Btw, I love your hair Ausi Atli, thanks for encouraging me to start my LLB soon💕
🙌🏽💯💯
Wait, we've grown as a family! 🙌🏻 We're now sitting at 11.1K 🍾🍾🍾.
We have grown 🥲🥳🎊
I also hate having to explain why I'm taking leave
Sis Atlegang can we maybe have Aphi speak about his journey in the law field? If he is comfortable to share.
I will ask him 🥲 I’ve previously been unsuccessfully
Also, a huge question, why do people constantly feel entitled to details about your next step in life?
You're in matric: "how many distinctions are you planning for?"
You Pass Matric: "Cool, what's your average and what are you going to study"
You go study: "Right, what are you going to do with this degree?"
You get a job: "When are you getting a car"
You get a car and a house: "When are you getting a man?"
You get a man: "Bana ba tla neng bathong, o tlo fhethogha mokekolo pila pila" (When are the children coming, you're becoming an old woman)
BRUH WHY DO YOU CARE😭💀😭💀
😂😂 askies
You look so beautiful
You’re very kind 🥲🌸
Sick leave, me I say am sick or I have Dr's appoiontment than that's it. You must also do it now 😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣😄
We need prove for urgent private matter
Reason for taking leave?
Me: Personal.
Simple! 😅
Another question I have after watching your previous videos would be when can you write your trademark law exams? Like can you write it whilst doing articles ...please let me know of the requirements. Thank you😊
You write trade mark exams during articles or once you’re admitted. But I only did it when I worked in the trade mark department. But you don’t need to do trade marks to write the exams
@@atleganggovuza6733 I see thank you again😊🌺
Quick question when you applied to be a Candidate Attorney for Adam's and Adam's what did you have under experience??? Because right now I don't have anything from university as i study at UNISA but I have a debating background from school. Also is it possible to volunteer at a firm if you get a Candidate attorney position before u finish studying?? Because I would love to for free and just gain experience
Hey there. I didn’t have any experience related to law. I was working at red bull part time and I also did SRC in 3rd year. I did vac work as well, which is what you’re asking about. Check law firm websites for vacation programs. There are many 😊
@@atleganggovuza6733 Okay thank you so so so much for replying 😊😊it is highly appreciated
So I can't get articles at A n A if I ddnt do vacation work
Ae some people are snakes, why would you want to screenshot someone else's Status and send it to people who aren't supposed to see it in the first place 😑😑😑😑😑
Blocked everyone I work with.
Same 🤞🏽
Unrelated: Where did you buy your lashes?
Zando and Superbalist 😊
I have a "Why do" but it's out of pocket 😭😂😂😂
