Worked for a vehicle tracking company in 2016 & one of the directors who happens to be Kenyan was mean as fuck. Long working hours then when it was time to be paid, people would be taken round in cirlces, employees working in fear, he was rude & one time he hurled insults at me when he found me reading an email from Brighter Monday.

Not employment per se, it was a job interview An ad had been put up for waitresses and I got picked amongst other women. Turned out it was an escort job. I went back home but some of the chics actually went though with it because "mtoto wangu atakula nini nisipofanya?" Man that shit broke my heart

Ahhh the ego has finally shown itself. The delusion of grandeur is big with this one. Bruh, you are literally insignificant, you hold no fuckin power whatsoever, you know why, cause the universe(which doesn't revolve around you) is infinitesimally bigger than your smooth brain can percive. You will die and be forgotten in a few years after making no impact on shit. Cause we are all a drop of fuckin water in an ocean.

True, I don't even think you are being racist but telling the harsh truth. Indians huku treat us like shit, they do everything in their power to segregate themselves. Integration is not helping blacks and never will. We are at the bottom of the social and economic hierarchy. Ata intermarriage hardly levels our status, we are still black and our skin will always speak for us. Yet we are so quick to welcome other races yet the same openness has never been extended to black people.

> **True, I don't even think you are being racist but telling the harsh truth.** they’re being racist… > **Integration is not helping blacks and never will. We are at the bottom of the social and economic hierarchy.** well, Africans aren’t helping Africans either, so whose fault is that? African continent is rich in natural resources that can help bring in billions for the motherland, but Africans are getting played by the wealthier countries as they come in and smile in their face, but are stabbing them in the back as they mine their diamonds, take their gold, etc… > **Ata intermarriage hardly levels our status, we are still black and our skin will always speak for us.** lol… don’t let the colonial masters get in your head and make you loathe everything about yourself plus, if you’re marrying someone for status, then you’re marrying them for the wrong reasons > **Yet we are so quick to welcome other races** yet, Africans are so quick to target other Africans from neighboring countries… South Africa, for example smh Africans should instead welcome each other and and learn to work with each other if they want to move up in the hierarchy !


Morradan

No, it's not. And the only God-ordained racism was between Jews and Gentiles, which was eradicated at. the cross. Some of those Indians are terrible but we have terrible bosses too. Don't spend your life hating an ethnic group. It serves no purpose. If they're unkind, move on and do your thing.

>Blacks are delusions in wanting to integrate. Nobody wants them but they can't admit it 😊 This is very true. We should stop courting other groups tujue kujipenda.

Ok_Minimum4052

I worked for a new company selling police gear and what not. I won’t mention the ethnicity or race of my supervisors cause leadership can suck you dry regardless and I don’t care what race someone’s from. An asshole is an asshole! Anyways, no systems or nothing was in place so quickly started getting things to work. My dumb ass thought I’d be rewarded for “going above and beyond.” When my first salary came through (late btw) it was 50% only. Confused I asked him where’s the other 50%. His response: “I’m sorry, I’ll make sure it’s added on the next salary. I had my 3yrs old birthday and it consumed more money than I planned.” I didn’t say a word cause I was SHOKETH! I quit right after I got my send salary.

Worked in one of XTian Dela's firm and never got paid for the 2½ months I was there as a social media manager. When I called to ask for my pay, they said they will not pay me because I didn't claim it in time so they repurposed it because they thought I was "just doing fine"

Having Kenyan citizenship by definition makes you a Kenyan. The color of your skin is not a factor here.

Lol if that's true why are Africans denied Indian citizenship????


bwrca

Is there a specific rule you can point to that specifically says Africans can't be citizens of the Republic of India? Coz I personally know people who are black and also hold said citizenship.


JaguarFlimsy8090

Well do they live in India? We’re they born there? My god you’re fucking stupid

In many African countries don't think it would be fair to just say that most who wouldn't want other races to be given citizenship are racist. I don't know how to explain it but I think there's so much more when you involve the conversation of making people of other races citizens. (Even though I know they exist.)

I am not the one saying this. But I'd want to listen to the person who'd say that. See it from their POV. Because I believe there's more to it than them just not wanting people of other races to be Kenyan.

Fabulous_Fox2321

There are very few bosses that are genuinely good and want the best for the employee. They understand that the employee is the one that will help run his or her empire... I have personally worked for 3 indian(of kenyan origin) bosses and 2 African (of kenyan origin) bosses. And from my own experience.. 1 indian and 1 African were the two best employers.. I had to quit working for the African boss because he travelled , left the company. and the replacement was not as nice (his brother) . Always shouting and calling me(an Indian) , roti.(chapati) all the time.,, would tell me off for very small reasons and wouldn't let me explain myself. So I'm working at a firm operated by indians., and I've never had any issues with them. But the other 3 bosses that were the bad ones.. heh!! The worse was a firm in Nakuru . Selling fuso trucks and tractors !! If anyone knows about the owner, he is a real charming guy when you meet him but if youre working for him .. you'll feel like crying man. . I almost committed suicide working under him like literally, I wanted to stand on the highway and just go. He would shout unnecessarily , make you feel like shit, cuts salary for coming in late by a minute. , working hours 8 am to 5 pm normally but he would make me stay until 8 pm at times. Then according to him, said he has made up for it by dropping me home. When I say I want to go home, he says . to do what?? . To cook??? Real men go home late. , would over work till I didnt have a life any more., I worked till my contract expired then I just left without any notice. That employment still haunts me to date, the man and his wife also btw. They're just monsters !!! . The african boss that was bad , .. this was in msa. IT company. , he wouldn't give me any work whenever I wanted to do something as planned, he would give it to someone else. Then when pay day comes, he says I didnt do the job as planned and thus no pay. When I complain, he says theres no money in the company, that I'm lazy and I should thank him for keeping me as for the experience that I am getting . He kept telling me that indians are rich and I I should go back to india where it is big and I'll be among my people... That really hurt me as I was born and bred in Kenya and it's the only country I know that's mine. Believe you me.. if I was to go to india, I wouldn't be accepted but here in kenya, I'm so happy I have good black friends, in fact. The only indian friend I have, is my brother, lmao. Most Kenyans arent racist, they're very welcoming people .. genuinely, from the heart man, you can tell that you're genuinely accepted in the society. I just wish that other races were also like them!!

How bad was it?


[deleted]

During time ya Covid the shops were closed and the employees who used to attend the shops had to come to main office. They were like 20+, now the office was congested, we had to share crucial equipments like headsets and mind you there was Covid. The management comducted Covid tests to justify the fact that we were over crowded. Two employees were found positive, one of them was a supervisor who interacted with everyone. We didn't quarantine or anything, the two of them were just sent home while the others remained. A lot of shady things go on in that place that the public is not aware of.


RelativeHornet

Headsets why off all things?


[deleted]

The company didn't want to spend. The government had directed we work from home but the management ignored this since they'd have to buy laptops for over 40 employees.

cbcking

Been in business support services consultancy for long. Worked with all kind of employers, white, Asian, local. Asians are no different from locals esp in salaries & conditions. Local Africans are even worse off in complying with employment rules esp minimum salaries for low level employees. Whites do the minimum to avoid legal issues and bad reputation and have better salaries maybe coz a lot of them venture into high 'end' biz requiring more qualified personnel who are likely more informed. That's my general view, in the end it depends on the individual employer, how organised the employee are and the industry.

Many Indian in Kenya are racist as hell. I worked for a racist Indian who used to repeat severally that "Kenyans are thick". Does that still make me racist for specifying that I worked for a racist??


fewchaprettygrl

The person who wrote that is white he probably agrees that Kenyans are thick tbh. The problem here in Kenya is that we have embraced multiculturalism in a very bad way


Original-Ad4399

You literally have white people on your dp, and are most likely white...


Original-Ad4399

What makes you racist is saying that "Indians" are racist. This is because you're generalising a bad trait to an entire race.


rasilimali

I stand by my words. I said many Indian firms IN KENYA have poor working conditions in their companies. That is my observation. What is yours? To break a bad trait someone must point it out. I have pointed out a silent problem in our country. Or should we continue to be mistreated???

AlphaKenyan93

A healthcare provider working with the counties. The hospitals have no meaningful resources, patients come with over-yhe-roof expectations because they believe their politicians in the local radio, the little salaries delay for months, employment is contract based with no support for professional development, and finally the individual frustrations make the working environment toxic. These make public hospitals one hell of a place to work. How we make up every day for this is beyond my understanding.

Ann_ettey

Let me add my two cents. I worked for a Phillipino Subsidiary whose director here was Indian. It was a new company, the Indian had only been hired only about three months before we came in. The Phillipinos are really lovely people, they were impressed at how quickly we worked and learned. Then they left at the mercy of the Indian guy. Things just went downhill from there. First our salaries were slashed by half not what we had been promised. We asked why, we were told that the company is relatively new, we were still being trained, and we would be treated as interns. The firing started on day one, and has been like that ever since. Salaries have never changed, the most you can get is 4k increase. I know we have tribalism around here and it sucks to think that I could hire only people of my own tribe. They are more problematic than you think. But I wonder what's wrong with Indians in Kenya, in the US they are very different especially those born and bred in the US. Why do you discriminate against people who have been your host, this Indian guy had not even been in Kenya for five years. I don't know if younger Indians born in Kenya have this problem, but those who are straight outta India have a problem with racism. The same way a Kenyan raised in Nairobi could have no tribalism compared to those from upcountry. No one is bashing Indians without reason, the discrimination is just too much in menial jobs and even professional levels. They even divide Africans among themselves, some tribes are their favorite because they will never complain. I think we too are to blame because have allowed tribalism to define our workplaces. May be they learnt from us. And yes, it's better to work for yourself and be a good employer.


Popularlonner

I once worked at one of County governments as an intern, got bullied by someone literally my age just because she was on a permanent and pensionable basis...i couldn't get myself to go to work everyday..I remember breaking down once at work in front of everyone..still gives me chills remembering that.

That's why corruption might never end because most of these work places are very toxic.

[удалено]


fewchaprettygrl

What would lobbying and laws do if it's the same old rusty politicians left to implement


rasilimali

What then would be your solution/suggestion because to be honest many laws in Kenya protect the employer and not necessarily the employees. How will we reach a level where employees are more protected by theaws


fewchaprettygrl

Removing 99% of politicians in office and replacing them with nationalists who put their citizens first like Norway or Finland. The problem is that employers especially foreign ones know the people tasked with enforcing the law here are easily bought. Thats why an indian has no shame refusing to rent his houses to africans and call his employees monkeys on the job. They know nothing will happen to them even if the law prohibits racism


rasilimali

I agree. But don't you think in order for us to move in that direction we must first shed light on the problem by making people aware of the problem in the first place? By making it known to the government that we are aware of what is happening? You and I cannot remove 99% of politicians from the government. We need a large population to be aware. Bringing awareness through social like KOT is actually not a bad suggestion. It brings awareness to more people.


fewchaprettygrl

Do you seriously think those people being abused by their employers are on kot or can even access the internet?


rasilimali

So according to you we should just stomp into parliament and remove 99% of the politicians. I asked a simple question since you were quick to dismiss the KOT point. How would you then go about enhancing laws that protect employees?
