A Nairobi woman has sparked widespread conversation online after revealing that she resigned from a brand new job within hours of arriving on her first day, before the working day had even ended.

Kelly had applied for a social media manager position and cleared the interview stage before sitting down with the CEO to agree on terms.

They settled on a monthly salary of KSh 20,000, which she privately considered low but was prepared to accept while she demonstrated her value.

What she did not fully absorb until she arrived was the scope of the schedule: Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 5 pm, Saturday from 8.30 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm, with three counts of lateness in a single week resulting in immediate dismissal.
