Zain Ke Retrenches 141 staff members.

They employed a friend of mine last week,wat a paradox!!!!

Make money.....then you will enjoy all the fine things in life!!!

na mostly engineers who have served longest...Wavuke YU?

Jus have a buddy who got affected. She told me that they were given 3months salo plus one month salary for every year worked. Some airtime,Also a counselor at Aga khan to offer services to them.

Apparently its not only Zain ke retrenching.. I have buddies from Zain Zambia,Congo and Ug who are on the hot seat - trying to guess whether they are on the list or not..

I think its a directive from bahrain to cut costs,and lay off...

So those who were arguing that Telecommunication sector,moreso in Africa will not be affected by the recession - here is the answer.

On another note,does this reflect the presence of economic recession in Kenya?

Hi all,

Zain did their exercise today,EABL is next......and list continue..one questions lingers in my mind where is our gova...?

Failure inspires winners...winners are made not born

Some of the results of poor decisions in an oligopoly market!! But getting retrenched is tough whatever the case


Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast

For any company to maximise on profits here in Kenya especially in anticipation of the economic downturn,cutting costs will be inevitable.
Cost cutting is pegged on basically 3 things:Labour costs,Sales overheads and direct costs.
Therefore strongly believe that what Zain has done is expected of other companies soon if not soonest.

As he thinks,so is he

feel sorry for the retrenchees,but especially those who vukad in august last year from safcom to zain for greener pastures. FYI,august is the month in which zain took over from celtel,and enganged in poaching spree immediately thereafter.

mwana wa kahii. . . . . .

skerians...pliz realise its not only zain.....KQ is downsizing as well

Fear not says the Lord
