On the Cash Plus collapse...FREELOADERS AT THE WORKPLACE
published: Saturday | July 12, 2008


FREELOADERS AT THE WORKPLACE

I don't understand how Carlos Hill took so many poor people's money and everybody has kept quiet. I am a victim and Carlos Hill was living in a US$7,000-a-month house, when I can't buy food to feed my child.

I just had a newborn baby and I am breastfeeding and dying of hunger, while Hill is well fed. He used his smooth talk to make Jamaicans feel sorry for him. "I love you, my Jamaican people," he said.

I took all of my money in the bank that I have been saving for the past eight years from JMMB and invested it in Cash Plus, without knowing he had a criminal record.

I got only one month's interest. I invested for six months and put all the money back, maybe because I am either greedy or stupid. Now, I am left with a newborn baby, thousands of dollars of doctor's bill, no money, thousands of dollars of loans and money borrowed from others.

I can't pay a cent back. I have to be hiding from everyone because I can't pay them back.

I am sick and tired of having to deal with disgusting co-workers, especially government employees.

Some of them do very little or no work, are always late and the first to depart. They take more sick days than the average employees and make claims for overtime.

Should salary or any other payment be late, they complain the most and the loudest, even though they are really freeloaders and do not deserve to be paid!

Human resource sits and does nothing about it, even though the offenders are right within their eyesight. A famous person once proclaimed that the law is not a shackle - that is so true. The scary part is, should a downsizing be required, the ones who play by the rules are more likely to be shafted.
