In this episode of What if, we unpack a surprising Labour Court case — Vericred Collections (Pty) Ltd v Moloto and Others — where an employee resigned verbally (and with a chocolate bar saying “I’m sorry”), only to later claim unfair dismissal. We explore how the court determined it was a valid resignation, not a dismissal, and what this means for both employers and employees. From documenting resignations to managing competitive risks, this case offers practical lessons and legal clarity on one of the most misunderstood moments in the workplace. Whether you’re navigating your own resignation or managing one, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

What followed was a legal balancing act between safety policies and proportional fairness. Can intent and context outweigh company rules? Tune in to find out.
