Woman vents about her assistant being promoted
The TikTok user @this.is.zee.online revealed that she works as a buyer for a well-known retail company in South Africa, though she refused to disclose the name.
She mentioned that the company hired an assistant, whom she trained for 13 months while also being @this.is.zee.online's assistant. Over time, her assistant was promoted to a junior buyer.

@this.is.zee.online shared that her assistant no longer worked for her, as they both became junior buyers. However, she would still oversee her occasionally when issues arose. After 10 months, the company announced a senior buyer position, and @this.is.zee.online decided to apply. Little did she know, her ex-assistant was also applying for the same position.
The assistant ended up getting the post, which left her devasted while expressing how she felt during that moment, saying:
"Guys, it took me, I think, six to eight months to get over that situation. I don't even want to lie I was so petty. I thought the colour was the problem. I thought I was not the right colour."
A few months later, the ex-assistant bought an Audi Sport A3, which fueled her anger. At the end of the clip, @this.is.zee.online gave the ex-assistant her flowers and shared a lesson she learned from the situation.
She expressed that sitting on the sidelines isn't always ideal, emphasising the importance of being likeable at work and promoting the company in personal spaces. The footage gained massive traction online, sparking conversations among social media users.
