Today is another day that is so hard for the multinationals who maintain that they are everywhere and employing so many people in the world and will never fail or their jobs get over. But is it so? So many are paying peanuts at that expense and the workers have become clever, they move on and start competing with the same thus eroding the parent company revenue source.
Staff are paying to work there but not to benefit from there.
Do your mathematics on efforts you put on such firms and see if they are really paying you the salary you work for! They get richer whilst you get poorer and waste your time. Consult those who have left big companies like Cocacola, Hilton, Microsoft, KFC, macdonalds,BP, BA, Total, Shell Sony to mention a few

Tell me what u think, I already told you my view or experience!!!!!!!!

What you say above is what you have to live with as an employee.....it does not matter the employer!!!!!

It indicates 1668 posts!!!!

This mentality of thinking that employed people are foolish suckers couldn't be further from the truth.

- McDonald Mariga and Dennis Oliech are low-level employees at mid-level companies, but they have lifestyles many Kenyan business owners could only dream of.

- If you have the 'employees are stupid' mentality, how are you ever going to form an effective team as a business owner? You'd have no respect for your employees, and in the end, no one would benefit. We all need each other in the end.

- There is no such thing as working for yourself. Making money is all about doing what other people want. At all levels, everyone has a boss. Even the CEO has to make sure he does the bidding of investors and customers.

Companies like Equity Bank can afford to pay peanuts because we have a job market that is flooded with jobseekers. Employers are spoilt for choice in most fields and will hire staff at their terms. For employees the best they can do is to move when they feel they should get more than the employer is giving

That's a bad analogy because it means when you eventually become an employer, you'll shift from a slave to a slave driver. Most people start out as employees and gain something more valuable than money; experience.

My beef with this post is not on competition between one having his business as opposed to being employed I(in any case I am employed), both categories of people are needed for this world to remain at balance.

My beef is with the premise of this thread, complaining about multinationals and their pay....people have choices and the truth is most multinatinals have a better pay package that indegenous companies, below I am posting a story...it is very long but if you have time you can read through!!!
