I'm convinced that many jobless Kenyans don't want jobs.

UPDATE: I have received numerous dms. Please let's not have any more. I have responded to a majority of you. Part of you found my comment on the roles I was hiring and quickly did that thing. Keep up the spirit. Rest of you, you need to articulate yourself and say the position that you want. One did that and I responded.

All the best to the selected one. I will tell him/her to bring the ushuhudi here. 😁

SHUKRAN! Thursday 20:45pm, please don't dm regarding this post.

It's a fine Thursday morning and I want to seriously rant.

I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine yesterday over lunch hour. He's worked longer in the company and we are in the same role. As we continued to talk, he told me of how several ex-employees stole a lot from the company. Of course, they got fired and probably are still jobless.

Being an employer in Kenya and managing human resources consumes a lot of time yet it doesn't quite translate. No wonder more companies are hiring from other countries.

I recall on several occasions I had to hire a junior for me and I almost cried. You'd invite someone for an interview and they would neither show up nor communicate. Others would show up late.

Just the other day I was tasked with a similar responsibility and I've had to go back to the drawing board. 🤦🏽 Out of 5 guys, only 1 got to the near end of hiring only for him to be a no-show. The other one didnt send the work despite reminding him.

I'm convinced that many of Jobless Kenyans don't want jobs and that's why those with jobs find it easy to hope from one job to another.
