[kictanet] Petition against Ajira

[Mildred Achoch]

@Tony, speaking from experience, the online work environment is cut throat.
We compete with people from all over the world and we are judged solely on
merit and track record. If the people who started the petition are afraid
that their space (their space?!) will be invaded by new workers then their
fears are unfounded. Online work has a great way of weeding out people who
are not serious. So I say that anyone who wants to try out working online
should be allowed to do so but should also be given the required
information and training. They should be told that it's not all roses. It
takes hard work, dedication and discipline. Yes it's flexible and you are
your own boss but for some people, this flexibility and lack of supervision
could do them a disservice. Our education system does not yet prepare us to
work in this way so training is key.

Regards,
Mildred Achoch.
