@wiztec:if u read my intro post well u will c that i have been willing 2 us the temp permit from the time i went there.its only until aug when the latter was xpiring that they refused to pay for a new one.they said i was to b given an extension pass.this did not come to pass hence the xpiry of the temp permit that i was already possesing.the same immigration officer who was to issue me with the extension was the same guy who stamped an extension allowing me to exit.

@maitu

what does your staff manual/handbook say about "absconding" duties? your action could be construed to be it. It might be tough trying to sue them... you could try but it might end up being more expensive and drag for years.

If you ask me, i'd have said there was a better way of sorting out the problem instead of going through the route you took... like getting the organisation to meet the costs of your exit-re-entry including the days this will take... i.e, the days you take to sort out the issue should have been at the employer's expense. Or before the issue is settled, you ask for a desk in the nairobi office.

what's the progress of the demand so far?

As pertains to me working in nairobi,i had been requesting for a company laptop for more than 1yr but nothing was forthcoming.i was also not getn allocated a desktop here.the demand period should b xpiring this fri.will post here the response.

@drunkard:having been in the corporate field and moreso workn in tz,i do know that.anyhow,the same company had me sponsored in the employee high potential program as well as the female empowerment program.so for me i still read malice.i will go on with the legal procedures against them till the very end.

@Maitu, I agree with you to follow your concscience when it comes to sueing your employer, however based on my experience with employees you might not be the beneficiary of such litigation for one the company has financial muscle to pay legal for such issues without feeling a pinch while this would erode your hard earned savings. Two its not worth it fighting for a few millions of shillings through court cases i have always believe that if a company retains you with x amount of salary it means you are giving them at least x times 5, meaning if you realize your real potential you can do better elsewhere including doing business since you already doing business pls keep it up and forget about these frustrations.

I have read your various sentiments and their is this issue you keep raising that you are a woman so you have advantage, kindly forget about these gender stuff they don't help and don't add value when it comes to doing business, you either can perform or cant... i have always believe that both men and women are equal and i love my wife for enshrining the believe in me.

You have made great strides by starting a business kindly concentrate on it. This is my personal take.

@maitu, I feel for you.
