@MikeKamasia @Kiddos_Mama @ron_grant116 @SamGichuru@herdy_co Sigh. I'm done with this. You can make it the law that anyone who works has to be paid. It has been implemented in other countries. Perhaps a little research on other jurisdictions will help. Let'see how businesses will fare on.
@MikeKamasia @Kiddos_Mama @ron_grant116 @SamGichuru@herdy_co I doubt I have a problem since I am myself permanently employed.
But, we're pushing to have the law changed. So whether you like it or not, you'll pay interns.
@Kiddos_Mama @ron_grant116 @MikeKamasia @SamGichuru@herdy_co I have a good job, so pipe down. Also I don't think what you make was even a discussion here. Your need to state it is just odd. No one has said this world is a ladida affair. But it remains, just coz you suffered doesn't mean another should. Unpaid internships is slavery
@Kiddos_Mama @ron_grant116 @MikeKamasia @SamGichuru@herdy_co Bla bla bla. "I suffered so you too must". If you didn't consider it free work good for you. Even house slaves during colonization thought it an honour to work in the house of the masters. As for us, we are now saying it's pure exploitation.
@Kiddos_Mama @ron_grant116 @MikeKamasia @SamGichuru@herdy_co Are you in Kenya? Or are you just pretending you don't see most advertisements requiring interns to have a degree/diploma?
@nomadickenyan If you were as keen you'd realize more and more countries are doing away with unpaid internships as they are now realising the benefit of motivating interns. I don't know which direction your own bubble world is moving.
@nomadickenyan Nyi ndio hujiona mbele na nyuma. If your business needs interns but cannot make money to the interns then it's not sustainable. Period. Mnataka interns washikilie biashara zenu as you pocket profits in the name of exposure. Only one person is entitled here and that's the employer
@wMachii Millennials can be anyone born from 1980,looking at your profile, you probably fall under that category.Speaking in English doesn't mean it's more intelligent so the "dumps it down" is just silly.But most importantly,what helpful truth has he passed:That they should be exploited?
@cheycheykule Ata mtu was mjengo hulipwa. Even a tea girl. So what of a graduate?The reason companies advertise for internship is because they need the interns. Any work using human labour that makes the working environment better is value. Stop lying to graduates.
@MikeKamasia @SamGichuru@herdy_co Haha. What nonesense. CSR for an intern in terms of exposure? Not even a stipend?An intern who is desperate. Cannot afford rent, food, transport. As your company makes millions?That's what CSR is?Now I see how your generation got us into this economic mess we are in as a country
@MikeKamasia @SamGichuru@herdy_co It is no secret that companies advertise/source for interns. It is also no secret that interns do a lot of the work. Many companies actually prefer interns. And that's why I ask, why do they source for these interns ? If they can do without them, why advertise?
@BRIGHTZEED@SamGichuru@herdy_co Now back to the original question: Why source for people and use their labour when you cannot compensate them, yet you yourselves make substantial amounts?
@BRIGHTZEED@SamGichuru@herdy_co I have no idea why you're writing in caps. The word employ has more than one meaning/ can be used in various contexts among them being: make use of. Get a dictionary and read up on it further.
@MikeKamasia @SamGichuru@herdy_co *these*. What entitlement if I may ask? That you be compensated for work? That entitlement? So what do you call asking a human being to work for you day in day out, with no pay, incurring debts and sleeping hungry? Can you at your age work for free, now that you're not entitled?
@SamMacoha@SamGichuru@herdy_co This is the lie peddled to young people. Any work you do, you're entitled to compensation. Any other thing is just slavery in fancy dressing. No one is saying you pay interns a million ksh. But understand they incur expenses working for you. Don't employ people you cannot pay
