CCMA and wrongful dismissals

A social psychology study released this month identified a new phenomenon called "Friendship Debt." It’s the paralyzing guilt we feel when we haven't replied to a friend's message for so long that it feels "too late" to reply now. The study found the average person has at least three "dead" conversations on WhatsApp with people they actually like, but are too embarrassed to restart.

Who is the person you’ve been "meaning to text back" for months, and how many "dead conversations" do you have currently in your whatsapp?

A new global study on the "Cost of Friendship" found that in 2026, the average person now spends roughly 20% of their monthly salary just to attend a single wedding. Between the "perfect" outfit for the photos, the gift, and the travel, being a bridesmaid or groomsman has become a "financial hurdle." The study found that 1 in 4 people have actually turned down an invitation to a close friend's wedding simply because they couldn't afford to be a guest.

Have you ever had to say "no" to a friend’s wedding or a big celebration because it was just too expensive to attend? Or, what’s the most you’ve ever spent just to be a guest?
