MONEY MATTERS

So,you have worked for a company five years. Fine.
That means you have got what it takes to be a good employee. But valuing the accomplishments you achieve within the five years makes you worried.
Most employees never want you to leave their jobs. They want you to work for them for a life time.
If you want to prove this,let your boss find out that you own a business some where. You will regret it the rest of your life.
Working in a private company is something very tricky,because as an employee,you are not sure of your retirement.

PLIGHT OF SUPERMARKET ATTENDANTS

There are very many people working in supermarkets across the city of Kampala. But if you are to ask them what they go through,then,your face must be in position of turning glassy.
Research carried out in most supermarkets,especially those owned by Ugandans,most employees are not given time to develop themselves. A reason as to why they remain poor.
Most supermarkets do not appoint their workers. Therefore,most of them work not knowing when their jobs would end. In case one makes a mistake,he or she is chased immediately. This makes the general population suffer most.
It has also been observed that workers ministry do not recognise the plight of supermarket attendants,especially in visiting and holding discussions with them. Most of these supermarket attendants come from poor families. So,the little they get comes by the will of God. Even though they complain,they won't expect much.
But these too are Ugandans who deserve their full rights.
I appeal to all stakeholders to carry out serious investigations on how these people are treated such that they too can enjoy the plight of being Ugandans.
Time.
The issue of time is valued by many employers. But the rate at which their employees get time to concentrate on their families is worse.
The eight hour working hour has turned to 20hour work a day.
Most supermarket attendants report for work as early as 7:30am and leave at 11:00pm,.
This amused me. For sure what a hell is this torture? Is it because their are few jobs in the country?
I appeal to stakeholders mostly ministry for workers to revise their documents and save the plight of supermarket attendants.
In situation where the companies become busy,like Christmas period,go back to school,these attendants are made to work up to midnight. This is a great concern as citizens.
Moreover, they won't get paid for those extra hours.
I tell you,supermarket attendants are suffering a lot.
This has become a life beyond fiction.
NOTE: Government should consider visiting these supermarkets for the betterment of these workers.
