My Colleague Was Sacked – My Pains, My Views by oefosa(m): 6:17am On Dec 23, 2017
The hype and frenzy of Christmas is at its peak. Unemployment stress is least topic for consideration. Everyone running around for the last minute rush for shopping.
I decided to finish up some transactions at the bank so I can blend with the Modus Vivendi as it stands. In the thick swarm of homo sapiens, I saw a hand raised to me for a shake and I obliged. The face looked so familiar (pardon me), Then he said
“Mr. [/////], I need a job.”
I was speechless and motionless for a while. Then I begged him to revive my memory. He was one of the security personnel in our company (the regular uniform had confused me seeing him in mufti).
The offence was clear. Breach of security protocols even in things that pertains to the MD’s office. Three people were fired!

Implications
1. More people have just been added to the already oversaturated labor market.
2. As an employer, always make provisions for back up security.
3. It is not everyone that will be smiling at Christmas.

Lessons
1. Let be diligent with our job no matter the pay. Resignation is better than termination, and voluntary retirement is better than dismissal.

The Way Forward
He is hoping on me for a job. I saw the pain and I perceived the expectations. My heart bled. This is the pain.
Well, silver or gold, I have not, but what I have, I give in Jesus name. I counselled him.

Now to anyone that is jobless, kindly pay attention. I know things are not easy. Yes, I know. [He (my friend) just called at this point of this write up (He is waiting for this piece to be completed because I promised to send him a documented guild of our verbal discussion)]. I want to let you know that everyone is a potential CEO. I am serious. It is just mindset, idea, passion and opportunity.
Some will ask
are you one?
Well, well, well, ehm, ehm. Explicitely or directly No, implicitly or indirectly Yes.
Ok, Ok, This is not about me this time. After all, I work, I am happy and satisfied.
You are the one that need assistance right now. Let consider how you can improve your standard of living.
Take this to heart before we continue, “Diligence and success are inseparable friends”.
The more humanity is confronted with challenges, the more opportunities abound for success to those that can think smart.
1. Identify prevalent challenges.
a. Identify list of probable solutions.
b. Identify probable solution options.
c. Identify the cheapest and easiest options.
d. Implement.
2. Identify difficulties in current solutions to challenges and provide remedies.
3. Always be positively and smartly engaged.
4. Be patient as your effort go through stages to break even.

Case Study.
Imagine a society where a lot of commercial activities do take place.
1. One of the challenges will be proper documentation of transactions or stock movement.
2. A better way to do such will be to adopt computer or mobile based specialized program.
3. A cheap way to solve such could be a well customized excel template for such tasks.
4. Mobile platform will likely penetrate the market more than the PCs.
5. Implement.

Maters Arising
1. If you do not know how to design one, feel free to download SmartBizVentory (an efficient option) at no cost.
http://www.efosmart.com/2017/10/smartbizventory-download-page.html
2. Ensure you watch the instructional videos in order to understand how it works.
http://www.efosmart.com/2017/10/smartbizventory-video-tutorials.html
3. The Windows and Mac versions are only compatible with Microsoft Excel 2013 and above.
4. The mobile version is only compactible with Microsoft Excel from various stores.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.excel&hl=en
5. One must be signed in with Microsoft account before one can use the mobile Excel to edit and save any document.
6. Create a private Microsoft account for yourself and a general one for test running purpose on client’s mobile devices.
http://www.efosmart.com/2017/12/how-to-create-microsoft-account.html
7. Implementation.
a. Enlighten different business owners (target small and medium scales because they are many and easily accessible) on the services your solution could render and the benefits.
b. Give them a free trial with the general Microsoft account you created.
c. Monitor their feedbacks.
d. Take care of any issue raised.
8. If anyone complains that he has more stocks than the mobile can handle (300), advise him/her to monitor the major ones first.
9. If anyone requires more functionalities and 5,000 stocks, advice him/her to buy a PC and use either the Windows or Mac version.

It is a matter of time for you to start earning something reasonable. The program runs for a year so that your services will always be needed at year end if they are satisfied. Their data will however remain intact and responsive even after expiration.

Conclusion.
Unemployment does not exist. What exist is lack of idea and this is the major cause of unemployment. There are many ways to take care of it. This is just one of them. I wish you the best.

Well, so it seems. The truth remains that this guy actually got fired 4 days ago.
After the advice I gave him when he asked for my support, I thought it wise to share.
Check my site, you will see that I don't used to write about Life Style. This is just the only story there. Check the date of publication also.
This is coincidence for opportunity.

All the same, thanks for the compliments.

You don't sound like a Nigerian though.
