Kenyan-Born Engineer Charles Mwangi Ditches Lucrative Job at US Carmaker Tesla as Resignation Wave Continues

Every month we read about Kenyans doing GREAT things all over the world. Why is the government and private companies in Kenya unable to tap into this massive knowledge to improve the lives for all Kenyans and expand businesses? Why do foreign companies appreciate our own more than we appreciate them? They don't have to be in their pay roll. They just have to consult.

Good for you Charles Mwangi, to be able to follow your dreams! But more curiously, why is Tesla hemorrhaging it senior staff? Just wondering.

O yeah!
I just resigned my job today too.

2019 sitaki ujinga.

You can't level-up with Bastards!

The guy seems to have an impressive career growth. Having said that, the notion that "...he becomes the seventh top executive to resign from Tesla" may be misleading to say the least. Senior Director is a mid level position and not a top level position leave alone a top executive position as the article portrays. This person, being a sr. director most likely reported into a Vice President, who then reports to a Sr. Vice President who then reports either to a Chief Technology Officer or to the CEO. So you can see the layers of positions and for one to be considered top executive, they need to be at least a Sr. Vice President above. in many companies, especially in the US, even a SVP is not considered a top executive. You need to be in the C-suite to be considered a top executive.

Money NEVER buys Happiness.😂

The best time to leave is when your star is still shining.

Every time economic depression looms in US; Kenyan's are always the first casualties and esp the CEO's. This frets me a lot and it makes the 'majuu' slogan a mere mirage. Wakenya tusilale.
