keep doing your best with the job you have at hand. there is no guarantee with the ones that interviewed you. if the new job calls when you are in S.A you leave it to faith. if in the other way round, you consider the offer of your new job. then you switch.

Jobs/Vacancies5 Things You Should Never Do While Waiting To Hear Back About A Job by Dafone(op): 10:14pm On Aug 03, 2015
Your job interview went great, and the employer said you'd hear something soon. But it's been a week, your phone hasn't rung, and you're getting antsy to hear from them. When you're waiting to hear back about a job, time often seems like it's passing incredibly slowly, and each day of silence can be agony.

But as anxious as you are to hear something, make sure that anxiety doesn't drive you to actions that will actually harm your chances. Here are five things you might be tempted to do while waiting to hear something but which you should never, ever do.

1.Don't Check in aggressively.
It can be nerve-wracking to wait to hear back from an employer after an interview. But if you give into those nerves by contacting before you should or too many times, you risk undermining the good impression you hopefully made when you met with the employer. That means you shouldn't check in before their timeline for making a decision has elapsed; email and then email again when you don't get a response to your first message after a day or two; or call repeatedly and hang up when you get voicemail (which looks pretty stalker-ish on caller ID).

The reality is that hiring often takes much, much longer than either side expects it to. But if an employer wants to hire you, they're not going to forget about you. If you're the strongest candidate, you don't need to do anything to keep yourself in the forefront of the hiring manager's mind; you're already there. Following up once -- after the timeline they give you for hearing something has passed -- is fine. But, beyond that, all you can do is be patient and wait.

2. Don't Bluff by saying you have another job offer when you really don't.
If you have another offer that you need to respond to, it makes sense to contact any other employers you're waiting to hear from and let them know of the offer and any associated time constraints.

But sometimes a job candidate, eager to move the process along and get a decision, will make up an offer, hoping that it'll push the employer to move faster. This is a dangerous move, because there's a good chance that the employer will tell you: "We can't expedite things on our end and don't want to prevent you from taking another offer, so we'll remove you from consideration on our end."

3.Never Stop applying and interviewing for other jobs.
No matter how well your interview went, no matter how perfectly suited for the job you are and no matter how enthusiastic your interviewers appeared to be about your candidacy, never assume that you have the job in the bag. Even if positive signs seem to be raining down upon you, a better candidate could emerge, the CEO's nephew might need a job, they might freeze hiring altogether and all sorts of other things could prevent you from getting an offer.

Until you actually have an offer, don't count on getting any particular job. Keep job searching just as actively as you would have if you knew you weren't getting this job because if you don't get it, you don't want to have wasted weeks waiting for it when you could have been talking with other employers.

4. Don't Go on vacation and become inaccessible without giving the employer a heads up.
You don't need to put your life on hold while you're waiting to hear about a job -- in fact, you shouldn't. But if you're going to be inaccessible for more than a couple of days, and you're at the finalist stage of interviewing, you should let the employer know. Otherwise, you risk them contacting you with an offer or for another conversation, not hearing back, assuming you're no longer interested and moving forward with other candidates instead.

So if you're going away and won't have phone or email access, just send the employer a quick email to let her know that's the case and when you'll return.

5. Don't Agonize and obsess. Why haven't they called yet?
Should you have heard something by now? Does the lack of contact indicate they're not interested? If you can't find the job ad anymore, does it mean they hired someone else? If the hiring manager looks at your LinkedIn profile, does that mean they're getting ready to make you an offer?

Trying to read into every detail like this is a recipe for a miserable few weeks (or even months). You're far better off putting the job out of your head and mentally moving on after you interview. Obsessing won't do anything to increase your chances, but it will make you miserable. Instead, mark your calendar to check in with them once at an appropriate point in the future if you haven't heard back. Otherwise, put the job out of your mind, and let it be a pleasant surprise if you receive an offer.

Most christians find it easier to give testimonies about delivery from accident, snake entering their homes, sickness healed and so on. They go into details bt the necessary and unnecessary ones. Bt when it comes to financial blessings they shy about it and beat around the bush. So go a far as no using the MIC to announce such. WHY is IT so?

Computers15 Mistakes Too Many People Make When Buying A Computer by Dafone(op): 11:10pm On Jul 29, 2015
Computers, computers everywhere. We’ve got them, want them, or need them, and sometimes all three at the same time. For many of us, computers have become an integral part of our daily lives. Without a computer, I’d be out of a job, and this article wouldn’t exist to help anyone. Fortunately, computers are pretty easy to get our hands on. Unfortunately, they can be incredibly expensive, and will often be a major investment

For the less tech-savvy, buying a computer is no easy task. There is a lot of tech jargon flying around, and all of it is vying to empty out your wallet. On top of that, mistakes are easy to make, and they can easily result in your money going to waste. When you’re throwing around hundreds or thousands of dollars, you don’t want to get a machine that’s going to break down in a year, fail to work as expected, or cost a penny more than it ought to. Fortunately, here we’ll take a look at a number of computer shopping mistakes so that you can avoid them and get a great computer without spending any more than you must.

1. Not buying based on your needs

If you think a computer seems awesome because you’ve heard media hype about it, it’s the latest thing, or it just looks awesome, you’re probably shopping for a computer wrong. Sure, if you want to prioritize a certain aesthetic or as much power as possible, you can, but most of us should just think about what we need from the computer and buy a machine that will enable us to do what we need to do. If you’re going to just do light Internet browsing, some word processing, and watch a movie here and there, you can probably do without 32GB of RAM, that octo-core processor, or 25 USB 3.0 ports. Whatever you get with a computer, you pay for, so don’t pay for something you know you don’t need.

2. Believing a single number makes something better

When it comes to computer hardware, a lot — and I mean a whole lot — of numbers get thrown around, and an even greater amount of important numbers don’t even get mentioned. If you focus on one number, you might be ignoring a bunch of others. For example, a lot of people will assume an Intel Core i7 chip is better than a Core i5 chip, because duh, right? But there’s a lot more to the story — number of cores, number of threads, hyper-threading ability, cache size, and clock-speed. There are plenty of i5 chips that’ll knock the pants off plenty of i7 CPUs. The same scenario can arise for a lot of components. If you don’t know too much about computer components, we’ve got just the guide for you here. If you want to see how a specific component performs compared to another, check out the benchmarks over at PassMark. A final word of wisdom on this topic: Bigger doesn’t mean better in computers.

3. Not knowing what you’re getting with an operating system

There are plenty of different computer operating systems (OS) out there — Windows, OS X, Linux, Chrome OS, to name a few — and while at first glance they might seem only aesthetically different, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Each functions differently, and most importantly for many users, handle software differently. If you have an old computer running one OS and want to bring software you purchase from that to a new computer, don’t expect to succeed if you switch operating systems. On top of that, you might not even be able to find a version of the software that will work on the new OS. For example, Skype may have versions working for Mac and Windows, but you won’t be able to video chat your friends and family if you switch over to Chrome OS. This calls back to the first point, you should decide what you need to do with the computer and ensure the OS will support it.

4. Assuming how a feature will work

Let’s say you want Bluetooth and WiFi on your new computer. Fine, that should be easy enough to find. Almost any laptop you find will have both, and both features aren’t to shy about showing up in desktop computer nowadays either. Once you’ve got the computer with said features, they should just work, right? Maybe. A Bluetooth module in one computer isn’t always going to be the same the one found in another. They can be different generations, have different power requirements, have different effective ranges, and even behave differently simply because of the computer case they’re in. WiFi similarly has a number of different classes and speeds, and you can’t assume they’ll all work in every situation. We’ll address how to avoid problems related to this in point No. 8.

5. Assuming a feature is even included

Computers come in all shapes, sizes, and configurations. You should never take anything for granted. If you want a computer with a CD/DVD drive, look and see if there is one, and if you’re in the store, press the button to make the tray open so you know with 100% certainty it’s there. Want audio? Make sure there are speakers and try playing something out of them. Hell, you should even take a peek around just to make sure there are USB ports. Whatever you know you want the computer to have, actually verify it’s there and in working order. Never assume. Never ever.

6. Ignoring missing details

Hold the phone. Just as mentioned in the No. 2 on this list, all of that is only half the story. Why don’t we look at the rest of the story? That could be an i7 U 620 (a low-end dual-core processor), a GeForce 256 (a graphics processor from before Y2K), and the slowest clocked, lowest bandwidth, high-latency sticks of RAM anyone has ever heard of. You can’t be sure unless you check. Not only should you always check out the details, but you should be wary any time they aren’t presented front and center. Odds are, if the details aren’t mentioned, it’s because they’re not favorable details. If a computer is actually running some blazing fast quad-core CPU or some high end GeForce GTX video card, the seller would be a fool to hide those details,

7. Thinking components can be upgraded willy-nilly

One great thing about most desktops, and some laptops, is that there’s a lot of room to add or upgrade many components to improve its performance or keep it running smooth as software demands increase with time. But alas, there can be quite a bit of complexity to it. Hardware changes quickly, and compatibility issues arise just as fast. Some components simply won’t work as upgrades; for instance, an if you want to be able to upgrade your CPU eventually, you’ll have to check what kind of CPU socket is on your motherboard and find a new CPU that matches. If you want to add more RAM for a better multitasking experience, you’ll have to confirm you have free slots for the memory and that your OS supports as much RAM as you want to have.

Then there’s also the matter of bottlenecks. Some of the components you want to upgrade to might be blazing fast, but your current hardware might not support that speed. This is especially crucial if you want to upgrade the RAM or GPU right away when you buy a computer. Find out what the clock speeds and bandwidths your computer can support and don’t waste your money buying RAM or a GPU that runs any faster. That awesome 8GB stick of 3100MHz RAM is going to look like a whole lot of wasted money when your new computer throttles it down to 800MHz because you paired it with a second, much slower stick of RAM.

8. Not trying before buying

If you have the option to try out a machine a bit before you buy it, do it. If you’re buying one off the Internet but can go to a local store and test out the very same computer, do it. Try out the keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, or whatever. Make sure they feel good to you, because you might be stuck with some of them. Going back to point No. 5, if you see a component or feature, actually try it out. If something’s not readily available on the showroom floor (say you want to try out some desktop computer with an external touchscreen display), don’t be afraid to ask a salesperson about trying it out. Sure, they might say they can’t do that, but if they really want to sell the machine (and they probably do), there’s a good chance they’ll accommodate you. This is the point in the purchasing process that you want to make sure you don’t hate the thing and that you’ll probably be able to tolerate it at the very least.

9. Not trying it out enough after buying
Just because you’ve traded your money for a new computer already doesn’t mean the buying process is over. While you’re still in the time window where you can return the device if it’s not up to snuff, you had best throw on “Take It To The Limit” on your stereo, set up the new computer, and take it to the limit. Test everything. See how far the Bluetooth signal reaches before it starts breaking down. Ensure it can connect to your WiFi and maintain a consistent connection. Test out all of the drives. Stick something into every single USB port. Try out headphones and microphones. Install all of the programs you want to use and try them them out. Hard. Run the most demanding video game you can get your hands on at the highest settings and keep playing for hours on end. You basically want to make sure that the computer will easily meet or slightly exceed your needs. If it’s falling short or not working how you expect, you want to find that out while you can still return it.

10. Always buying whatever’s cheapest

If you have very minimal computer demands and hardly browse the Internet, you might be able to get away with only ever getting cheap computers. But not everyone will, and those that try can have it come back to bite them in the rear. Cheap and old hardware is going to more quickly wear out and fail to meet the ever increasing demands of new software. A $200 could last you a couple years, but that time may be filled with headaches as it begins to struggle more and more on its way to the computer graveyard. A $400 computer bought at the same time could last a fair bit longer, and that whole time should be less filled with headaches. That said, it can be nearly impossible to be entirely sure what you’re going to get for your money, but you’ll probably have a good chance of finding a more reliable, longer lasting PC if you spend a bit more. You don’t need to buy any $2,000 computer, but just keep an eye out for good deals on brands and models that have proven to have a good lifespan, and you should be safe.

11. Not being aware of software trials

Plenty of computer will come with software advertised as pre-installed. And indeed that software may be present. But it might not be what you expect. Software trials are pretty common, and they can be for anything from a photo editor or virus scanner to the computer’s OS. It might not be common for a computer to come with only a trial version of an operating system, but there are some out there, so be sure before you buy. A license for Windows can cost around $100, and that’d be a large unexpected expense. Trials for other software are pretty common, though, and you should confirm what is and isn’t a trial before you decide if a computer is worth the price. (Hint: You should think of trials as worth $0.)

12. Buying at the wrong time

There are a lot of factors to consider when figuring out when to buy a computer. The most important of course will be your need. If you need one right this minute, then your hands are tied. But if you can wait, or if you know your current computer is on its last leg, a bit of wiggle room can make a big difference in what you pay for your new computer. First off, there are tons of deals on computers all the time. Tech retailers and manufacturers have all sorts of deals, and if you stay vigilante, you might see the PC you’re hoping to buy on sale. Product cycles can also come into play. Just like with smartphones, there are constantly newer versions in series of computers coming out, or newer hardware surmounting the ever-so-slightly older hardware. If you do your homework, you may be able to figure out when something new is going to come out. If you buy right before it does, you’ll likely be wasting money. After that new device or hardware comes out, the older hardware should drop in price — leaving you with the option of buying the old hardware cheaper, or buying the new hardware at around the same price you’d have paid if you bought the old hardware too early.

13. Not shopping around enough

While there’s no one place you need to shop at, you do need to shop at many places — that is, if you want to get the best deal. Don’t just go into Best Buy and assume your options are limited to those devices at those prices. Shopping at a single retailers (especially a brick and mortar shop) will guarantee you miss out. As mentioned in No. 11, there are lots of deals out there. Pretty much every big retailer is going to have some deal going at at any given time, so you’ve just got to hunt for the right one, which means checking way more than one place. Check Newegg. Check TigerDirect, Check Amazon. Check BestBuy. Check SuperBiiz. Check the manufacturers’ websites. Check all the other retailers I can’t list here. If you shop around regularly, and are patient, you’ll probably get an excellent deal on a new computer.

14. Not asking for free stuff

Why wouldn’t you want free stuff? If you’re buying on the Internet, you might have a harder time getting free stuff, since there’s no salesman to haggle with, but if you end up buying in a brick and mortar store, try to get something (or a few things) thrown into the bargain. If you’re buying a desktop, you know you’ll need a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, so try to get them thrown into the deal for free or for a discount. Frequently computers come with free printers. If you’re not offered one, ask for one. Whatever you’re trying to get with the computer, be sure it’s within reason (you’re not going to convince them to give you a second computer for free if you purchase one), and act like you’re not quite sold on the machine unless you can get the free thing thrown in. Even if you don’t actually get anything, it can’t hurt to ask, and you’ll probably getting offered some discounts at the very least.

15. Letting the security trial expire

Sure, I know, this comes a while after you buy the computer. But it’s a mistake closely linked with your purchase. Why? Because letting your virus scanner expire puts that new purchase at a greater risk of going sour. A bad virus can turn a great computer into a great paper weight, so do keep yours machine protected. You can buy a subscription to the trial service that (likely) comes with your computer, or you can replace it with a free security system like AVG. Whatever you do, don’t ignore the need for up-to-date security software.

Finally, there’s the matter of expensive setup services and warranties. This isn’t getting its own point, because we’re not going to call either a mistake. Choosing to get a warranty is an extra cost, but adds some security. If you’re concerned about potential damage to the computer, a warranty isn’t a bad idea. As far as setup services, if you know your way around a computer all right, or know someone who does and is willing to help, you can likely pass on having a professional set it up — most of what’s done is pretty simple. If everything about computers is like a foreign language to you and no one you know tolerates your technological limp, it may be worth the money to have a pro come set up your new computer and get you off the ground.

By avoiding the mistakes on this list, you can avoid a lot of headaches and spending more money than necessary on a new computer.

InvestmentWhy You Must Invest by Dafone(op): 9:56pm On Jul 20, 2015
WHY YOU MUST INVEST
1. The emergent and compelling trend in the Nigerian economy, and indeed the world suggests that single income has become dangerous.
2. Lack of job security: downsizing the workforce has become a common parlance in our society today. Besides, many companies are folding up in our country and around the globe. Privatization policy is also causing a lot of job insecurity. Automation has not helped matters. One machine does the work a thousand people would do. The wise man makes hay while the sun shines.
3. Insufficient income to face tomorrow’s challenges: the price of everything goes up from time to time. if your income is stagnant; you cannot meet up with the challenges. Only the rain and naira comes down. The rest goes up.
4. Declining job opportunities: every job opportunity available today has more than 10 thousand people scrambling for it. People are so desperate for job today that some charge applicants reasonable sum of money to submit applications and CV’s for job.
5. It’s biblical: even Jesus spoke in favour of investment. “Why then didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it. ” (Luke 19:23) (NLT).
6. Investment helps you avoid spending money foolishly or lavishly. If you don’t invest wisely, you invest foolishly or wrongly.

EducationThe Fight Of Many by Dafone(op): 4:17pm On Jul 18, 2015
The fight of many
How bittersweet is it to live in the land of many tribes
People of different views and ambitions
That sees things in different ways
Fighting the fight if fighters
Killing innocent souls that do not deserve death
The hopes of the commoners that have no tomorrow
No say in the land
Where every tribe wants to get to the top
Living in anarchy democracy
A fight that do not end with a generation
A fight that have killed some of our icons and future leaders
And still not ready for an end
When will our sorrow turn to joy?
When will people of different tribes come to know that we are one?
When will the fight left for the fighters to fight?
The fight of many
When will it end?
. . . . . . . .This is for my generation. When will the fight of ethnicity end? Or are we going to allow it to get to our generation? It’s unraveling and the memories and stories heard of the civil war are not a pleasant one. . . . . . . .
How sweet to leave the earth bound body in the mud
And rise towards the music of our country NIGERIA
Descending soft with wind
And the tender glow of the fading sun

EducationThe Secret Of Reading And Understanding by Dafone(op): 4:36pm On Jul 13, 2015
THE SECRET OF READING AND UNDERSTANDING

It is one thing to read and another to understand. The way you train a child when he is an infant by giving him the different classes of food which will help him grow well (balanced diet) is also the way the brain is. If you do no put the brain to work, it automatically becomes dormant ie the more you read daily even without understanding what you are reading, one day you will come to be understanding what you read.

When a child is growing, he is exposed to several languages within its locality. He keeps hearing them as sounds everyday without an idea of what the speaker is saying. As time goes on, he begins to babble in accordance with what he has been hearing without having an idea of what he is saying. With time he gets to understand and speak to fluently to people, hearing and understanding without fidgeting. This also is how the brain works; the more u read regularly you begin to understand. Frequent reading of books exposes you and adjusts you to reading with a good pace and understanding day after day, and also helps you adjust easily to any reading environment you find yourself in whether conducive or not.

Moreover, the life we live in is full of stages. You cannot jump from childhood to adulthood. You have to pass from one stage to another. Same works for the brain too. Every effort have a crown with success. You might not see it at first but in the future it will materialize. “a stitch in time saves nine’ do not waste your time now to regret later.

Steps to take in order to read and understand

Eliminate distractions; try as much as possible to stay away for television, music, computers and smart devices. In reading some books it tends to be so difficult especially when having divided attention.

Skim first then read slowly;
if you're reading something difficult, don't worry too much about spoiling the ending for yourself. If you read a paragraph and have to start the paragraph over, consider skimming over the whole story, or flipping through the book somewhat to get a sense of the plot, the main characters, and the tone of the reading, so you'll know what to focus on as you read more closely.

Picture what you're reading:
Think of yourself as a movie director and picture the action while you're reading it. Cast the movie with actors, if it helps, and really try and picture the events as realistically as possible. This can be a lot more fun, and it will help you remember and understand what you are reading a lot better.

Look up any words, locations, or ideas you don't recognize:
You can use context clues to help you figure out things by yourself, but it's always a good idea to take a minute to learn any references you might not have gotten the first time. It'll make the reading much easier.

Take breaks:
Make sure you save enough time to do your reading so you can complete it comfortably and take frequent breaks. For every 45 minutes of reading you do, let yourself play video games for 15 or do some other kind of homework, to give your mind a rest and let yourself focus on other things for a while. When you're ready, come back fresh and excited to get back to the story.

Mark up the text:
Write questions in the margin, underline things you think are interesting, highlight important concepts or ideas. Don't be afraid to make lots of marks on your text as you read. Some readers find that holding a pencil or highlighter makes them a more active reader, giving them something to "do" while doing the task. See if it works for you.

Write a few sentences of summary at the bottom of each page or chapter;
If you're reading something difficult and find yourself often wanting to go back to get something you missed, start taking it one page at a time. At the end of each page, write a brief summary of what happened on that page. This'll break up the reading and allow you to go through it with much more careful attention.

Write down questions that you have about what you read:
If you find something confusing, or you notice something that's giving you difficulty, always write it down. This might give you a good question to ask later in class, or give you something to think more about as you continue reading.

Discuss with friends or classmates about what you read;
Get your classmates reactions and compare them to your own. Again, try not to talk about whether or not it was "boring," but see if anyone has a good explanation of something you might've found difficult or confusing. Offer your own reading expertise to help your friends.

CareerDecision by Dafone(op): 6:55pm On Jul 10, 2015
Decision is a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration.
Decision is an action embarked on consciously or unconsciously. Decision can be a personal something, group or others to do on behalf of someone. One taking decision by him or herself is one of the characteristics or responsibility of one being an adult, Decisions that will affect you positively.
Today, many negative decisions are taken with a positive mindset. A decision makes or mars ones future. The joy and sadness of our today are the decisions of our yesterday. So it’s very important one makes decisions that will help his or her future.
At a tender age, our decisions are taken by our parents/guardians until we are of age. The decision they made for us shapes us to what we are at the age of freedom of decision, which is usually at age 18. From there, it’s up to us to rewrite the mistakes of our early decision takers (parent/guardian) or continue to follow up the error with an excuse or we maintain and improve on the positive paths taken for us.
When we come of age, it is very important that we are part of every decision concerning oneself. Any decision taken without your consent might spell danger for you in the future. The decisions about career taken by parents have turned out to cause more harm than good to the individuals involved; a ward’s ambition being squashed for a father’s ego, a very dangerous scenario. This has made most wards unserious and non-vigilant to the career they are pushed into. Allowing and guarding a ward to his or her career decision when old enough is the best any parent or guardian can do for the child. He will embark on whatever decision he made with all zealousness knowing that he is responsible for his success or failure.
Life changing decisions calls for divine and matured guidance, also consider all your options carefully and meaningfully before taking decisions. “NEVER MAKE POOR DECISIONS”.
Delay in taking decisions may bring about decisions being made for you by others. Also think, consider, and act fast while taking decisions because delays can be dangerous.
Always decide for yourself before someone else does.

Career5 Signs Your Boss Is Taking Advantage Of You by Dafone(op): 6:46pm On Jul 10, 2015
1. You are consistently expected to work extended hours

If you are an hourly employee, and you are working extra hours but not being compensated for them, then it’s easy to tell that your boss is taking advantage of you. However, the ability to discern what is fair when you are a salaried employee is more difficult. You will be expected to work longer hours sometimes, especially when your department or team is working on a very important project.

But if you are consistently being required to work many more hours than you traditionally have with no extra pay, your boss might be taking advantage of you. Many employees also bring work home, but again, if you are constantly working, then you need to consider what to do next.

2. You’re doing two or more jobs

Job duties and requirements change, so you can’t expect that your job will only entail the duties listed when you originally applied. However, if your company recently laid off another employee (or someone else left), and you are now responsible for doing your job plus theirs, there is a good chance that your boss or the company are taking advantage of you. If your boss believe that you will consistently do someone else’s work (with no end in sight), they have little reason to hire anyone new, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. According to Jeff Haden, in a piece for LinkedIn, employers also shouldn’t ask you to do something that was first assigned to another employee. Even if that employee slacked off, it shouldn’t be your responsibility. Your boss also shouldn’t send you on personal errands that they should be doing.

If you feel like you have more work than you can handle, you can try some tips from Idealist about talking to your boss. Make sure that you have specific examples, and that you avoid approaching the issue from an emotional standpoint (instead, try explaining that the quality of your work is being affected because you have so much work)

3. Your boss expects you to be friends with coworkers

While it’s important to get along with your coworkers, and be able to work together on projects, there is no need for you to be chummy with your coworkers or your boss. If your boss puts too much pressure on you and your coworkers to get close, that is one clear sign that your boss is putting too much emphasis on friendship. If your boss also brings up conversations that are not appropriate for work, and tries to get you and your coworkers to bond over personal stories or information, that can also be a sign that a line is being crossed. Your boss might mean well, but it really isn’t part of your job requirements to be friends with your coworkers.

Bosses should also never try to force employees to attend social events outside of work. Holiday parties, dinners, and work events, are supposed to be fun, but they shouldn’t be required (or even strongly suggested).

4. You’re never appreciated

Some bosses offer more verbal praise than others, and that’s completely understandable. However, if your boss constantly lays on the work, and never gives you any positive feedback, this can still be a way for your boss to take advantage of you. If your boss isn’t pleased with anything you’re doing, you probably wouldn’t have a job, so you know that you must be at least doing some parts of your job right. A boss doesn’t have to say much to show appreciation, and never saying anything, or being very critical all the time, affects employee morale. Everyone wants to be appreciated, and even though you get a pay check, it isn’t right for your boss to never show you any approbation. You don’t need to be thanked for everything you do, but some respect for your hard work is necessary.

5. Your boss doesn’t follow through

From planning to meet with you to discuss your pay, to failing to update you on important information about a new client or project, to ignoring your requests for time off or other requests, there are many ways that bosses don’t come through. Bosses are human, so sometimes they will mess up just like the rest of us. However, if your boss consistently promises something, but never delivers, you are definitely being taken advantage of, even if it isn’t deliberate. The stakes can be even higher if your boss offers you a promotion, a raise, or other rewards, and never follows through. You also might notice that your boss picks favorites, and that certain employees receive incentives that you never get.

There are many other ways that your boss can take advantage of you, and some of them are very serious. If your boss penalizes you in some way because you are single, married, have a certain sexual preference, are a specific race or sex, or any other discriminatory practice, you need to talk to human resources or seek outside help.

EducationTertiary Harm by Dafone(op): 1:44pm On Jul 09, 2015
TERTIARY HARM
Our tertiary institutions or universities have produced world class students who have excelled greatly in their various careers and establishments.
Great professors, lecturers and exceptional non- academic staffs, But the harm in our institutions remains. When do we improve our infrastructures?
Are the funds not being released? , are the funds being embezzled? , what should be the capacity each institution should hold? , these are the questions begging for answers.
National University Commission (NUC) accreditation is now being mocked and financially obtainable, causing more harm than good to our higher institutions.
You can never believe that your departmental laboratories are so equipped and organized until the day the NUC accreditation team is to arrive. The best books are dug out of the archives into the light of the library only when the accreditation team is around. You get to know the number of students each department and level is meant to hold only when this team is arriving. Who is fooling who?
Are the books and equipments meant for the stores to study? Why stress the school facilities with outrageous number of students?. The multitude that comes for lectures and joint lectures in a 200 capacity is enough to pull it down, Thereby making learning unbearable. Are these things unknown to the NUC or do they just sweep it under the carpet? Little wonder rich parents send their children abroad to study.
Good environment, infrastructures and adequate population also aides learning. This harm on our tertiary is long overdue and needs to be put to an end.
LiteratureDown The Aisle by Dafone(op): 9:33pm On Jul 07, 2015
In the midst of the multitude
I dwell in the solitude
Walking down the aisle
Just without my eye
All began like a dream
Turning out to be the dream
While I was fully in thoughts
Full of unknown as I thought
Never knew I was driving to the known
That was yet unknown
But was made known
As I was fully awake
Walking on the way
