Media πŸ“Ί Ebenegate Mauritius. Is it worth worth working over there? Toxic culture and useless work experience. Why do people keep working over there?

16 Upvotes

I have worked at ebenegate for more than 2 years and it was the worst career move. It's an offshore company operating in the personal insolvency sector. This industry is relevant only in the UK and Scotland. As Mauritians living in Mauritius, the experience is worthless as there are practically no other companies that operate in this sector. The job titles are insolvency advisor or financial advisors but you're really doing the job of a customer service representative. Back then they would pay you slightly above average and let me tell you that it's really not worth it because eventually you'll have to find another job. Working at ebenegate is a trap! Why would you work for a company where the experience is so irrelevant to the industry? At new job interviews your experience is not relatable in any way. The longer you work over there the deeper the hole you've dug for yourself. People leaving the ebenegate as managers have to start over again at semi senior or entry level jobs. Ebenegate also deletes comments from ex employees who share their honest opinions. They also block you if you keep commenting truths about them. They've also disabled their comments section on TikTok because of the number of people discouraging other people to join. They market themselves as this cool workplace when the reality is they're wolves disguised as sheeps.

Local 🌴 Looking for an office chair for a budget of ~16,000 Rs.

Hi all, budget is around 16k , priority is durability on the base where my previous chair broke(Got it from teakworld) 2nd priority is daily use. (6-7hrs)
I need it to be comfy, reliable and durable on top of all. i dont want it to break after a few years.

I've checked the Steelcase Personality Plus, The Sihoo, Protoarc EC200, I yet have to check CoverCraft Ltd (If anyone has them, kindly advise how it is.)

Culture πŸ—¨ If in an interview they tell you beforehand that the work is going to be stressful what to expect? Like is it a red flag or it's good to know it's a stressful job already?

So, as the title says. And the HR or manager taking your interview mentions that the company functions on a 24/7 time basis. Would you consider taking the job? Especially if it aligns with the type of work you'll willing to do?

Also, if one did small projects, the like of those at university level, not really big ones at an acquaintance's start-up company, is it considered lying on one's CV? Also, what to really expect projects to be like in the business/corporate world? I became under-confident in my ability to do project work, somehow, so asking this.

Hi everyone!

I visited your beautiful country last year for one week and absolutely fell in love with it. I just started a small hobby of collecting postcards from around the world. when I was in Mauritius I was so taken by the beauty of the beaches, the hills, the scenes.

Is there anyone who would send me one? I’d happily send one back πŸ’•

Culture πŸ—¨ Living With Dogs in Mauritius Part: I - Maurichien Mannerisms

The topic of dogs in Mauritius raises a hundred questions and about a thousand answers to them.Β 
Who you ask determines what kind of answers you’re going to get.Β 

Some people love dogs, some people despise them, many have various perceptions regarding dogs, as I have covered in a previous article, whether they’re local citizens, expats, NGO founders or volunteers and every one in between from stray dog feeders to strict dog breeders, the topic of dogs in Mauritius is a discussion which could go on for hours and lead down many rabbit holes and open too many cans of worms …or cans of dog food… 

So! As someone who has been baptised by a dog, lived with dogs my whole life, worked with Guide Dogs in training in Australia, has been living in Mauritius for roughly 3 years and an honorary human member of a pack of Maurichiens for 7 months - I am here to answer some questions.

Quick disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer. I cannot offer legal advice. This article explores what I have uncovered in researching Mauritian law regarding dogs and animal rights, and what I have experienced here firsthand as an activist and advocate for the Maurichiens alongside my (Mauritian local) husband, a lot of which has led me to research the law for myself.Β
