First Job
Insubordination. Turns out I am not very good at taking orders.
Second Job
This one is tricky. The boss had a guest at his hotel and I couldn’t make a nice cocktail. His guest spat the drink and the ninja shouted “You’re fired!!!”. That slay queen got me fired…those were bad days, very bad days. My career as a wannabe mixologist was short and uneventful.
A decade ago I used to work at a place in Mombasa Rd on the weekends monitoring machines (coolers, boilers, timers etc) in the research and development side of company and communicating the information on the meters via phone to the engineer. The engineer lived in Thika and they must have decided to hire somebody cheap to work 7am - 7pm Saturday and Sunday for Shs 8,000 a month instead of paying the engineer 3 times that amount to work weekends too. That cheap somebody was me.
Sasa security company contracted yo provide security for that company had this Kamba lady working at the gate. She used to sneak out and come back later. Sometimes she would be gone for 3 to 4 hours. The security company she worked for never bothered to come by to make sure she really was at the site.
The 6 months I was there it used to be only me and her. We would chit chat but I never got interested in her because at that time my gal was way better than her.
Sasa one day the owner of the company that I worked for came to the site. He waited at the gate for 30 minutes akiwa ame park Benz. Mimi niko ndani completing my assignments from school in between doing my job. It seems the MD called the engineer and asked him why nobody was there to open the gate. The engineer called me to ask me where the watch man was. Mimi na ujinga wangu I said she is around and I had just seen her 5 minutes ago. The engineer told me to go open the gate for the MD. He came in, very polite guy. He went into his office for about 15 minutes then left with some folder. Even then the stupid woman was not back. So mimi in my ignorance I’m thinking it’s over. My immediate boss drove in 1 hour later and told me I’m no longer working there. 8,000 shillings gone like that for trying to protect a b*tch that I wasn’t even sleeping with.
I don’t lie and I don’t protect anybody when my job is on the line.
Not yet but on behalf of @kush yule mnono he was caught raving up his bajaaj behind the filing cabinet peeping at the new intern. Akaambiwa “Kush!” He swang around and at the exact time he
Yeah, the plan is to hightail when you sense doom is on the way. I’ve had to do this one time because of a highly volatile boss. Dude just made the office a really toxic place.
