Just look at even the tattoo, there are employees who do all sorts of Scams at their place of work and come to social media to fight against that. These young women nowadays think that they are more valuable than companies actually. Remember the one that was fired for stealing from that filling station, she too, instead of going to the ministry of Labour , they all come here on social media – why? Is there something we don’t know?
