I am not an employer but i generally have low regard for people who have first degree in abroad mostly because they couldnt make it into Kenyan unis. But generally work ethic and discipline is alot better in western unis than our public colleges

I am wondering out of all Wazuans on this thread, how many of you are graduates. Everywhere i ve worked i always noticed an unspoken tension between Diploma guys and graduates. The former feel they know as much as (if not more) than graduates but earn less, while graduates generally have a superiority complex

Fellow Wazuans,

I am suprised that all of you have turned my question about how to shame low paying big companies like Equity, Kcb, UBA, etc into a discussion of how people get their salaries.

This thought was born out of a realistion that as a graduate earning Kes, 15,000 I depend on my husband for my fare and lunch and sometimes (Like when he's away), I almost miss work. One time our business was down , I decided to pay rent and of course shopping for my grand parents and within 2 days I had no money.

I tried to put myself in shoes of some of my single friends, and especially, the guys. Who gives them fare when they run out?

Isn't this what encourages night robbers, terrorism etc coz people have to make ends meet?

Before I got married, my parents encouraged me to take the job and continued supporting me with rent, food etc

What about those whose parents are unable to asist them?

Is it normal for a graduate to be living on his parents/ spouse?

So, back to my NAME and SHAME forum.

If you can only afford to pay a low salary, doesn't it also mean that a form four graduate, can do the job?

Why do you want to hire a graduate to do simple tasks yet they are qualified for complex tasks?

@new vestor, I empathise with your situation but I tell you employers have a harder time getting good employees than vice versa. Please don't complain about your 15k. Apply a common tool called a budget rather than your adhoc spending above. You seem more priviledged than most with parents who can assist rather than vice versa. Consider your job as entry level, build on your skills and knowledge, be honest and diligent and in 5 yrs revisit this post and see hom far you will have gone. I repeat, there is a great shortage of honest, diligent, intelligent, forward looking, qualified personel in Kenya and an employer who lands one of these will not let them go easily.

NAME AND SHAME LOW PAYING COMPANIES

Fellow Wazuans,

I got all types of responses on my earlier Topic on Graduate Salaries.

Now, I am creating a site to NAME AND SHAME companies that pay their graduate employees very low salaries while posting very high profits and engaging in all manner on CHARITABLE projects so as to look GOOD to the masses.

My humble request to you all is that this is a project in pipeline, If you are not contributing to the project, kindly do not express other opinions that are of no assistance in this post.

You are welcome to start your own post and state whatever you think is right and why you think so.
Thank you

sigh.... you need prayers..
