The HR claimed that I had been joyriding and was essentially a ghost worker. Ironically, she was part of the interview panel that hired me alongside other officials. My biggest question is: Do you think a software engineer can be a ghost worker in a large commercial bank?” he asked.
He added that his workload and contributions were reflected in the company’s statistics and performance reports, saying the situation left him frustrated and depressed.
The graduate also appealed for advice from anyone who had experienced a similar situation or understood employment matters.

“My thoughts: In a large commercial bank, engineering output is highly trackable. Software engineers leave data trails everywhere. In the tech space, code/output speaks louder than your buzzwords.”

“Egerton University does not offer Software Engineering. Anyways, good luck with your engagement farming.”
