Slavery at FranklinCovey
FranklinCovey cannot quantify why they should be trusted as they are averse to transparency. They have no whistleblowers policy and handle grievances internally and secretively so that it's easy to suppress them. While under contract with them, I rendered additional services in the good faith that I would be fairly compensated for the value I added and which they continue to benefit from. Following emails contesting their unwillingness to pay, they agreed to pay on the condition I rendered further services for free. I thanked them for wanting my work so badly but stated I wanted nothing further to do with them, simply wanting my payment. Upon finally agreeing to pay the full amount without FC being entitled to my further services, they wanted me to sign a document that misrepresented the events leading up to this. The matter then went to attorneys, thereafter they stopped responding to communication, forcing me to make my grievance public. Thereafter the vice-president engaged with me, following which he stated that the brand has no control over partner conduct and that the situation must be resolved locally, not through their head office. On being forced to engage with the same people who had deprived me of my human and economic rights, I felt cheated of an internal trustworthy process and was hurt and angry. A superficial 'unreserved apology' was sent to me from the South African partner along with an offer to settle as quickly as possible. I rejected the apology and settlement offer, and upon making it clear that I wished them to negotiate and hold themselves accountable for what they did - they merely absconded from the process. After letting the vice president know the process had not been respected, he failed to respond. Abandoned again, I used social media to state my case publicly and requested FranklinCovey to publish their partner code of conduct so that the public is able to see what behaviour the organisation abides by across the globe. Without transparent processes, the public cannot trust that FranklinCovey deals with issues objectively and virtuously when they arise. They refuse to publish or communicate with the public on these issues; no one from the organisation responds to posts on Linkedin, Facebook nor Twitter. This implies they hold themselves above the public and use their status to violate our trust. I am not a slave, FranklinCovey. Trying to force me to work for free to secure your wealth, is not lawful.

Iniquitous Recruitment Conduct
Kelly Recruitment violates S23.1 of the Constitution by practicing predatory recruitment. They deny applicants the right to fairly negotiate pay by being secretive about employer offers and spying on rival employer pay slips. Kelly Recruitment is price-fixing pay and unfairly competing for talent which means they also contravene the Competition Act.

3FortyMedia - Unethical Bullies
Within hours of purchasing the Cannix theme on Envato, it was made available for free. Steve, the theme developer said I had to purchase one of his other 5 themes in order to be refunded. I didn't think this was fair. However, after some consideration, none of his themes suited my needs and I purchased a different one from Envato, believing it my consumer right to select and choose the products I wish to ACTUALLY purchase, not own by default and at cost to myself. Steve refused to refund me even though the theme I spent money on was available for free. In addition, the files I received were incomplete and the theme was not working effectively.

They sell you an item then give it away for free
This business sells website themes. Within hours of purchasing a theme it was made available for free. The theme developer said I had to purchase one of his other 5 themes in order to be refunded. After some consideration, none of his themes suited my needs and I purchased a different one from Envato, expecting the outstanding matter to be resolved amicably with Envato - not the developer. Nobody, including their founders, bothered responding to my many desperate emails. They dominate the theme market, they couldn't care less about ethical conduct or how they damage people who assume Envato can be trusted.
