My younger daughter Lisa applied for a job at Hotel Morobe to work as cashier at the cafe beside the hotel at Top Town Lae. She applied through managers Mr Maric and Mr Herman.
She was to work with her cousin who applied at the same time. But the cousin left after one week and my daughter left after 2 1/2 weeks.
Both did not like the job as the result of intimidation and hostility of the female supervisor and her gang of bullies. The supervisor said they were prostitutes and would not train them in using the cash register and credit card machine.
Lisa said she taught herself and made no mistakes with no complaints from customers. She was friendly and liked by the manager and customers.
But both girls were hated by the violent supervisor who was jealous of their good looks and acceptance by customers.

In the second week, Lisa was violently assaulted by the supervisor who grabbed her by the throat and tore flesh with her fingernails. Lisa trained in Tai Kwondo at Caritas Girls school and punched her in the face.
But she did not want to stay alone with her cousin gone so she made excuses to the manager and resigned. The violent supervisor threatened to pay her back for punching her.
The cafe is not a quality place for customers. Lisa worked a 7 day week and was paid K290 for 150 hours work. That is surely in breach of labour laws.
She had to stand for 10 hours with no chair. While the violent supervisor is in the job, young girls should not apply for work at Hotel Morobe and cafe.
