First Tech cost my kids their schooling

A Fin24 user writes:

My fiancée was an employee of First Tech and she is now sitting at home with two kids, who we had to take out of school because we cannot afford the school fees as well as medical aid and food, and so forth.

Explain to me as to why we should deal with this when we were not given a fair chance to prepare ourselves and make our lives a little easier and less of a disaster.

What makes it even worse is now I phoned the medical aid to change our plan and we can't do so, because the company was paying half of the medical aids - the medical aid informed me that as from July 1 2013, First Tech moved my fiancee's medical aid into her own capacity without any notice... meaning First Tech knew what they were going to be doing.

So, basically all First Tech employees were not notified of any changes or plans to the future  - if anything, they have screwed everyone over.

For a year now she was requesting her pension details as stipulated in their work contract, and every time she was sent away with we don't know, yet they were deducting R800 every time!

Where are the pension provider's details?

So the news in the media is true - there is fraud and theft within the group....

Well well well, who knew?

Obviously the bosses.
