media houses are the worst.... better wahindi.... i hear the journalist (those reporting on the background) get peanuts.... i am shocked that Njoroge Mwaura gets 150K and the way he got experience... When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly.... When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend

I've worked for a muhindi before and he remains the best boss I've ever had. He left me to do my job without interference because he had confidence in my output. Like mukiha and aemathenge say,your employer will treat you the way you 'deserve' to be treated. If you don't act like a good employee,the employer will not treat you like one.
Would it be interesting if people 'paid peanuts' were actually paid using peanuts,as in njugu? And where did that phrase come from?

Why are small salaries called peanuts? Peanuts are not cheap by any standards....we buy about 10 nuts on Uhuru highway for ten bob...that's a shilling per nut....actually more expensive than coffee or tea!!!! Check their prices in the supermarkets and see Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow) Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

I'm imagining Njoroge Mwaura carrying a gunnybag containing 150k peanuts or Linus Gitahi with a pick up carry 2.5 million peanuts! LOL!

very interesting,i must say... i think small amount of money used to be associated with peanuts because the prices of peanuts used to be relatively low compared to other grains... ofcourse the situation has now changed in Kenya after the demand for the peanuts outstripped it supply thus pushing the prices north...

.... I don't know,maybe the peanuts could also be the size and relevance ... the person who coined the saying must have been looking for something small which many people do not use ... thus came up with peanuts When we pray in praise to God,he makes a difference in our lives.

Well,forward or not,the information looks genuine for graduate trainees salos at least for 6 companies that am 100% sure of. Most employees will never tell you how much they earn unless they think they make a lot,and what is a lot in Kenya?? Plus no employer will say how much they pay their employers since 'the wheels of capitalism are oiled by the blood of workers'-Simpsons.
Interesting topic though. One thing is clear though,if you earn 200k Gross,you feel like you are someone in society,yet in Nairobi this is nothing to write home about. A good mortgage for a 'good' house will set you back 100k for 20 yrs 8m,but some prefer to pay high rent to look rich. A car will set you back 30k,education,shopping,entertainment,credit cards,chama (sacco)...and you realise you need a job netting 500k plus where my pals (doctors,lawyers) are. And someone thinks 2.5m is a lot.
Thats why i started my own business where net profit means net..

Have you ever asked yourself how much value your work adds to your employer? And by 'value' I don't mean monetary alone...... Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow) Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Had to post this article,such a delight,I think that is why so many young guys are getting experience and capital then going it alone: http://www.truthdig.com/...wont_stop_a_depression/
By the way,I think the peanuts issue's etymology can be derived from the idiom; If you pay peanuts,you get monkeys. something that you say which means that only stupid people will work for you if you do not pay very much 'This company is full of incompetents!' 'Well,if you pay peanuts,you get monkeys.'

@ the sage
I agree with you. pay peanuts and u get monkeys is the phrase. by the way gava these days sio noma sana. get yourself a job from JG P and above and you are there. KWS also not bad MTs 35K+ you get confirmed and you are 70 +.but allowances so so.

worked with a brokerage firm once and the Mhindi would pay us like on 30th or 31st,a cheque......7.5K. i remember one time in December when the guy paid us by cheques on 24th! and i had no fare. No wonder those guys mess with investors shares. Yes am a slow walker,but i never walk backwards.(anonymous)
