craziest reason you ever lost a job

[Okwonkwo]

@Jazzman

Mimi niliwachishwa kazi kwa sababu staff had more confidence in me than the managers among them wazungu. Shida yoyote ikitokea mimi ndio ninaitwa nisolve hao managers wakishindwa mpaka wakawa wananipigia direct nisolve isdues. Jamaa alikuwa na hopes za promotion akaona hazikuji na manager aliniambia live nataka kumnyanganya kazi wakaanza kunichomea kwa proprietor. Mwenyewe anakuja kuuliza staff nini inaendelea anaambiwa mimi niko sawa wivu ndio inamaliza watu. Aliniita kando, akanipa mshahara ya mwezi mzima, token plus bonus za manager na akaniambia amechoka kupigiwa simu every ten minutes.

nakumbuka hii story in another thread.

@Bingi

high school! basi pana shida pahali

@Luther12

Na sio shida kidogo.

I had taught previously in several schools both public and private. I never thought being so fluent or eloquent in a learning institution I would be deemed to be incompetent, simply cause hao chokora hawaelewi osungu. But my deduction was, these private schools in slums usually absorbs students who failed in primary level or rejects from other schools. Otherwise, those who pass go elsewhere

So early last year I went looking for job. I just need something to start with. I finally found myself working in one of the private schools in pipeline slums.
This was a family owned institution, where the director and principal were a couple.
Apparently, the director was a young man married to an older woman.

The school had a large population, but the students were not charged too much. And this is very normal for schools in such areas, as bigger portion of the population around them are peasants. That said, you sure my remuneration wouldn’t be anything to smile at. All my motivation was intrinsic.

The first month ended, and as expected the directors called me to their office, presumably, to pay me.
After a short discussion, I issued a complaint to them, that whatever they offered was too little. They told me not to worry.

Then they brought in their complaint which to me seemed overstated. They told me that students had been complaining that they couldn’t understand my language. Then I was like, WTF. I asked her, madam do you mean I’m poor in English or what exactly are they complaining about? “You ain’t poor in grammar and that’s not I mean. If that was the case, they would not realize cause their grammar is poor too. But students have always been complaining that your wording and vocabulary is too deep and complicated, they don’t understand. So following this, we’ve had a seating as the management and agreed on, giving you some time to think about this, then we’ll call you”

I gave the simplest reply, "madam, I know what you mean, thank you and all the best. " I took my cash, handed over their stationery and walked away. And that’s how I lost the job

Some years back nilikuwa naroll na macolleagues na workmates wa my sister (she’s 11 years older) wote walikuwa wajaka. Walikuwa wanamix napoleon na Lime juice alafu wanaiita Komo aka camouflage. Weh, hiyo kitu hauwezi maliza glass mbili. Inageuka situation zile za watu wanakumbuka story in bits sasa kila mtu anachangia hadi mahali anakumbuka.

I lost this well paying job after 18 months simply because a married chick who also acted as my boss’ ferkmate envied my position. I used to travel a lot and earned per diem.
This ferkee was in procurement. I was a brand manager.
The boss slowly started writing bad reviews and before I knew it I was under so much undue pressure, that I resigned. A week later a guy told me that the lady had been appointed to take over my position.
I normally forget but I never forgive.
Those two niliwaekea wanted.

I’ve never been fired. I just do my job whole heartedly and even beyond what is expected of me if a situation suggest so. But mtu akianza madharau i slowly walk away.

Immediately after high school I got a mjengo job laying tiles kwa a new hotel. I did a good job and the manager akaskia osungu.dll yangu imeweza nikapewa job ya bartender. Sasa sikuwa naelewa pombe na cocktails etc…I used to mix kienyeji and most customers did not mind. Siku moja mzungu fulani, a major business associate wakakam na boss kukunywa hapo. Akaonja pombe akaspit, “Waristhis!!!”… boss akaniambia nichukue hiyo 5k iko kwa till na nisiwahi onekana kwa hiyo premises tena…even as a customer.

My cousin used to live at the Kenya Railways quarters in Ololo.
Wajaka tunaita Railways ‘Reru’ by the way.
One Sunday afternoon after form 4 nilimtembelea akaleta JIK moja ya cham.
Sijui nilisurvive aje. Na nikaacha pombe right through my uni years.

After high school nilidunga waks kama waiter. Kuna jama flani hapo ana kiburi kama @M2Random alinifanyia madharau. Mara ya kwanza nikaclean ya pili nikalenga na kujipa shugli na wengine. Jama na shetani zake akaniita idiot. Yaani nilijam nikamnyorosha, nikavua apron na kuenda home. Never went back.

Nilichujwa job as a security guard after getting caught wanking to porn on the company computer.
I didn’t realise that I was being watched from Makao makuu through internet CCTV.
It was early days in that technology and I was in charge of a mile sq. Premises with a 4by 4 pickup for two hourly round trip drive around the perimeter.A 12 hour shift peke yangu.
Kazi ni kufanya handbrake turns na gari ya wenyewe and wanking the rest of the time instead of monitoring CCTV.

Monday morning mdosi aliniambia " I have to let you go,we were watching you yesterday… It’s just as uncomfortable for me as it is for you talking about it…"
Bla, bla, bla…
Na Kwanza it was a woman boss!..

Bahati I was a single man I didn’t have to explain to the wife why I got chujwad!..
