Chris Kim has narrated how he lost his job at Safaricom after he convinced himself to buy KSh KSh 40 keg beer instead of going to work.
According to Chris, he intended to grab one for the road and head to work, but when he walked inside, he met friends who bought him enough to make him forget going to work.
Safaricom looked for him all over until, one day, they found his sister and handed her his termination letter. Recovering alcoholic Chris Kim, aka Chris Recovery, has shared that he lost a well-paying job at Safaricom because of a KSh 40 beer.
Kim disclosed that his downfall started one evening when he was due to sign in at work in the evening. Chris drunk himself into stupor Since he was a serial drunk, he decided to take a walk and look for food as he was hungry after failing to eat for a while.
He ran into an ex-girlfriend who gave him KSh 100 that he used to buy sukuma wiki, tomatoes, and dhania. “I decided to go inside a local pub called Kwa Irungu and say hi to friends while taking a glass of beer. Each glass of beer cost KSh 25,” explained the former Safaricom employee.
Chris narrated that when he stepped into the pub, people started buying alcohol for him, and before he knew it, it was already 3 am.
As fate would have it, a call centre manager had tried calling him while he had left the club and gone to a brothel nearby.
“Disappointed My Family” Chris learned painfully After failing to report to work, his bosses started looking for him in vain, but they were lucky to find his sister Angela whom the termination letter was given.
Luckily for him, the incident happened after Safaricom had already sent his salary to his account, but that would be the last time the telco would pay him. “My colleagues are now managers, but I always say God had a purpose. If I had stayed there I would have drunk myself to death and wouldn’t have helped other people in the rehab,” said Chris.
Having experienced what he calls one of the biggest losses in life and disappointed his family, Chris urged alcoholics to seek help and stop blame games.
