I'm trying to think, just how many who have lost their jobs in similar circumstances end up reasoning like that..... Basically what you are simply implying is before Uhuru, retrenching was none existent in the country.

I really feel pity for your little sis because of you, now she thinks her future is determined by someone rather than herself being the one in charge of her own life.

If my sis is unable to sustain a job under Uhuruto, it's only logical to give the alternative camp, baba, a try, he may guarantee her a job. At the end of the day all these matters are personal, ie whether you are able to put food on your table.

During the kifaki days the economy was growing by leaps and bounds. But now now everything is at a standstill and retrenchments are the order of the day. At the end of the day its about me and family. We should only support a regime that takes care of our needs, one that supports and enables us achieve our vision. It's all about us.

Yes employers are declaring redundant those who do not contribute to their bottom line.

To the best of my knowledge retrenchments have been with us for a long time.White collar jobs will continue shrinking so lets start thinking entrepreneurship.

Your sister can do whatever, but if she thinks that she'll get a job because babu is at the helm, she'll live a miserable life.

If you loose your job because the economy is doing badly under the current regime, you can either continue supporting the current regime and remain jobless or you can support the other camp and hope for the best, i.e. that they will fix matters and guarantee you a job.

The idiot is the image you see when you look at the mirror. A job owes the employee nothing. It's simply there to make money for the owners. The other resources can be changed as needed. The only constant thing in this world is change. If the environment changed and the company didn't change with the environment they will be swept off. Your sister's job may be replaced by a job that serves the needs of the company today and in the future. Mwambie afunge mshipi si yeye wa kwanza na si wa mwisho.


Ati BCOM UON CPA plus 8 yrs experience more than enough to start her own hustle. Kama hakutumia mshahara kama mbegu...

Hardwood, you and your family have every right to vote as you have decided. I think this is the way every Kenyan should reason as they go to vote. Those who have benefited from the leadership of Uhuruto in the last 4 years should vote for them and those who have suffered should vote them out. This is the most fair way to vote. It is influenced by your own and your family's well being. Masukuma keeps saying that mwamba ngoma huvutia kwake so should every Kenyan going into the elections vote for his own interest. If you got a job in SGR for gods sake vote them in, if you are Kabura, Bruce Odhiambo or any NYS supplier you must vote them in... Let the final tally be a true reflection of all the positives less the negatives. This is what true democracy is. No matter the outcome half the country will have to live with a president they did not elect so when you go to vote, vote for your interest. Ukipata sawa ukikosa sawa pia.

sometimes i wander why we are so one dimentional when we look at issues.
what if the owners of the company have mismanaged the firm to warrant the retrenchments?
what if the compertition is too stiff
what if your sister has been sleeping on the job and the management had to find a reason to let go in a humane manner
what if the company was thriving due to corruption loopholes that have now been fixed by the government. like not paying tax?
one company dies several companies rise which in return employ more brothers and sisters frm other families.
finaly the video summarises it all. you have to be sharp to survive in this capitalist environment.

@Hardwood sorry for your sis. We are almost in the same predicament but we are not sitting pretty.What i can say for sure is that companies fail because of various reasons both external and internal. Poor management and poor financial planning contributes to 90% of the failures. When retrenchment come knocking various parameters are used for various cadre of staff. Disciplinary cases, lateness, work output etc. As for your sis am surprised with her qualification she is running to you crying having worked for 8 years.
To help her tell her to tighten the belt and move out of her comfort zone.
Politically if you feel the UHURUTO government is to blame for the company problems and your sis "perceived" misfortune VOTE them OUT pronto.
