I remember joining the corporate world. The HR guy took one look at my papers akanisho Sisi watu wa straight As we don’t last in that organisation. He was right. Sabotage and frustration was the order of the day karibu nichizi. On the other hand wale wasee wa dodgy papers with political connection ndio huthrive huko.
Watu wanakuwanga na connections na wanaplay politics ndio husurvive hizi organizations za Kenya. Incompetent managers wenye kazi ni kuongea mob na kujidai na directors wanafrustrate watu kuquit. Western societies wanainvest pesa mob sana kwa culture and retain most of their employees. Kenyans go abroad to these organizations and thrive. Huku Kenya,mediocrity in political leadership tumeingiza hadi kwa orgnizations.
This continent is not growing in our lifetime brother. Just put that in your skull and live with it. Those aggressive guys who were able to fly out for a good life abroad have already done it. The rest of us have accepted our fate to live out this third-rate life in this African shithole as we daily get shafted by the likes of Sakayo
Bro, don’t you worry at all. Usiwe na hofu or start regretting that you lost out for not pursuing “greener” pastures abroad. Be comforted with the fact that it’s all coming down very soon. Truly, this world is not our home. Anytime you have a feeling rise up of wanting to get comfortable or start loving this world remember your mortality beckons. That’s what keeps me going.
Ngoja @Gaines Wacuka akushike akukalishe chini akuelezee vile hauna pesa that is why you are experiencing the worst of this shithole. Baadaye akuweke kwa gunia akupige kama mbwa Koko for being poor in a shithole.
Kenya would’ve been better if jobs were given onnorder of merit and not corruption, nepotism or tribe. Most people would rather stay in Kenya given a certain salary bracket.
Brain drain is real. I remember top students being spotted back in highschool. Wale tulikua Mangu circa 2000 remember an indian called Tishampati. The genius akiwa form 1 alikuwa anaenda maths contest za form 3&4s. KCSE iliisha kama U.K gavment imemkujia . Dude went on to do atomic science on full UK gavmnt sponsorship…
Tishampati alikuwa legend bana. Another guy narank sana ni mwenye alikuwa number 1 , year 2009 Mangu. He was exceptionally gifted. Alienda strath after that sijui akaenda wapi
His biggest mistake seems to have been going to Australia instead of America. His work experience suggests working at no-name companies although I still give him my respect.
