In his post, he wrote: “I was working as a cleaner one time. On my first day, the woman (African) supervising me asked about my background.”
“I told her I was doing my Master’s in cybersecurity and only working as a cleaner temporarily before finding a job in my field. She reported me to the Manager straight away.”
He continued, “The manager came looking for me and told me she doesn’t think I can do the job. In the end, they chased me away 😂😂 We are killing ourselves as Africans.”
