The girl who is on almost every big politician’s target “chop” list, Abena Korkor has advised young graduates not to repeat a mistake she made some years ago when she was employed by Media General’s TV3.
Abena Korkor took to social media to chronicle events that led to her sacking; adding that she was more hurt because she was laid off without an official letter.
According to her, she thought she had finally landed her dream job, knowing perfectly well that TV3 was the right place for her. Hence she did not bother to go into any official terms with them.
However when they wanted to sack her, they did it without any official letter. So she has advised young graduates not to work for anyone without a legal binding contract
Read her writeup below…
I left TV3 Ghana with so much hurt in my heart ❤️. It even sparked a relapse. They knew all about me and I thought I had found a company that understands and accepts me for who I am. Owning a network like OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network has always been my dream since 12.
I was elated when Apefa called me and offered my the role as a presenter on the Ladies Circle. I got more excited when Beatrice Agyemang said she was a fun. I could boast with pride TV3 is an advanced establishment that accepted people living with mental health problems. I have been waiting to study Global Mental Health and that would have gotten into my personal statement for admission.
I was totally wrong. I was excused of my duty with no formal letter or explanation. Mr. Francis Doku said I didn’t deserve one because we didn’t have a contract. How foolish I was !
Young graduates, don’t work for anyone without a legal binding contract. People will use and damp you when you need them most.
I was later given a flimsy excuse that it was because of my lingerie pictures. The very same lingerie that was used for an official montage for a show done on 14th February, 2021 or so. Eeeeei, this world people will never accept you for. They will come for will benefit them. We are all parasitic in one way or the other.
As you live, learn and be discerning so you abundantly. May God guide your path.”
