An uncle tells his nephew, Junior, "If u take 1st in class i would buy you a new shoe before school resumes for the next term". Junior takes 1st in class and runs to his uncle, "Uncle see my report card, i took 1st in class". Uncle is happy and keeps silent about his promises for a long while.

2 days before school resumes, Uncle tells Junior, "I still remember my promise to you, i would buy you the shoe soon, u hear". Junior smiles and is ecstatic that his uncle has actually not forgotten his promise.

Mid-way into the new term, the Uncle comes back and says, "Junior, don't worry, your new shoe is coming soon". Junior nods in acceptance.
3 more terms have passed and Junior's Uncle is still promising to buy him the shoe.

What would Junior do?

1.) Junior knows that he did not beg his Uncle to buy him a new shoe, his Uncle said it out of his own volition.
2.) Junior knows that his Uncle has the money to buy him the new shoe.
3.) Junior is very much aware that if his Uncle had not promised to buy him the new shoe, he would still have managed his old shoe to school.
4.) Junior is not happy that his Uncle is delaying in keeping to his promise.
5.) Junior also knows that he cannot force his Uncle to fulfill his promise.
6.) Junior continues to carry 1st in class, whether his Uncle buys him the new shoe or not.

Be like Junior.

Worrisome it is, how almost anything and everything that happens in this country translates into further delays.

Move on, we should all try.

May the Force be with us.

At all... Thanks. I can't start delving into d specifics but it seems I've been headhunted. Apparently the CEO of big pond was very impressed with my experience that she felt I will best serve the bathtub that is struggling with their operations. Bathtub CEO was so keen for me to start immediately but I chose to "yet him" (post him) so that I don't come across as cheap/desperate. I know I will work with them but na how to free myself from current boss now na be d koko. Cos the guy will be stunned to d centre of his bone marrow

PresVA:
Very nice points. . Nobody is saying money is the ONLY driving factor..

Want to ask you something. . You said you can move to a company that pays you 50% of what you currently earn.. not just by saying it, sincerely tell us how many times you've applied and followed up with such companies?

Then, what makes a 'good ' company and what do you classify as a 'better' alternative? How do know nlng is a better company when you haven't tasted the waters? If nlng doesn't have money and consequently unpopular, would you still classify them as a good company? What convinces you that you would hv career fulfillment there even though you haven't worked with them? How did you know they would be better than your current place of work, therefore tendering your application?
Also, why did you classify going to Saudi as an alternative to nlng? Why not some other smaller companies? Or such companies don't offer career fulfillment?
Why do openings in 'big companies' attract bigger population and competition? Na only them dey give 'job satisfaction' abi?

Everyone wants something big and better because they offer better packages and exposures . . Smaller companies can't do that because of finance. ...

Ok, i would have compared like for like if the rise of say the software Britannica was responsible for Encarta's discontinuation - it wasn't. Wikipedia's rise made it unprofitable for Encarta to continue in that sphere. Now you claim I said Wikipedia doesn't care abt money, now it seems you're confusing "liking money" with having need for the absolute lifeblood of any non-profit venture which is operating capital, which Wikipedia even solicits for (ever notice the donate button on the site?). Now Wikipedia receives content freely from contributors like linux distros like Kubuntu receive code to improve upon versions of the operating system free from the community which after "curating" will include in subsequent releases if they so wish. Wikipedia operates the same way with their content.
The WikipEdia model clearly disrupted Encarta's model just as Uber's taxi model is causing major disruptions in the traditional cab model (remember the French cabbie protests from last yr?).
Ever seen those highly technical wikis on topics like say engineering or science? You think hippies gave Wikipedia that content? They came from experts in that particular field and were given free for the sake of spreading knowledge and not for money. That's what got Encarta discontinued and that's the point my argument made.
Awaiting yours.

Aphrodite4:
I watched a TED talk recently about motivation and what you said is truly spot on, if i remember correctly, the guy closed with the example of Microsoft's Encarta that employed thousands of experts and professionals to give content to that software, and Wikipedia which basically curates what it's given free of charge and even sometimes relies on donations to stay up.
Today Wikipedia has totally eclipsed Encarta (which is basically a discontinued software).
So if the money as a motivation argument was so solid how come it didn't work there, where the same experts and pros moved from Encarta that paid them for content to Wikipedia that takes money from them in the form of donations to the platform, you know?

freeradical:
Guy im sure u have heard about maslows hierarchy of needs. Starting out yea money is the driving force for motivation but there comes time when other things will be far more important than money. You will get there pretty soon. Besides we r all wired differently. Some people don't need to earn so much to feel satisfied in life while some will gather the whole world and still they feel empty inside.

barbiesparkz2:
Yeah.
Typing with my phone makes this coloring difficult.

About the money; I don't know about others o, but that money is verrry important.
I'm getting enough experience where I am but no shishi.

So it’s my FTCommenting here. Everyone’s been posting I’ll try and get into it.
I understand that certain staff of influence on the HR are likely to pay visits here once in a while. Well the first part of this is directed towards their attention.
While the decision by management to keep this recruitment indirectly on ice has been understandably due to recurring circumstances beyond internal control, the choice may have been made based on the assumption that the enthusiasm witnessed among applicants will remain constant even unto the appointed time. Well, except the management is only interested in recruiting graduates simply as an act of culture, the purpose of the exercise which I think should include gaining fresh perspectives (possibly ground-breaking in some rare cases) unburdened by the familiarity with the system is slowly but surely getting eroded. Though I have no business analyzing the minds of the to-be recruits from a management stand-point, I simply choose to point-out the possibility of finally recruiting minds that have replaced vigor for the experience with the current mentality of the nation’s average public servants (just get that piece of the national cake).
To my fellow “applicants” (that’s probli d politically-correct term been used at this time in bonny), we are all in this together..I think….unless some underground connections have silently taken GT positions then we not (lol). Frankly speaking, it’s time to get real with ourselves. After the over 70% fall in revenue and the massive cashflow drain from the ill-timed dividend payment to the FG last year. I don’t think the coffers of the company are looking friendly right now, I struggled to believe when I learnt the EH were taken in. Not that I’ve got the numbers to analyze but it’s common knowledge that shareholders care more about recording increased profits than any future plans to expand workforce. Which reminds me, “they said” NNPC bout to be broken into 30 different firms, issokay. and here comes one more possible upper level management hiccup in terms of mgmt and board re-shuffling to think of.

Now that I have stylishly completed my rant, TGIF!

Na u sabi ó! If NanaF is who I think she is then no she didn't come late. Infact Ayam convinced I know her cos only two of those ladies cold have observed I had a funny tie knot... BonnyBabe (because I like shine shine things I quickly got chatting with her) and the slim quiet gurl(NanaF) who I remember sitting on the same table with while some people (they know themselves. They were UK based) descended on the snails with reckless abandon. Spacyzuma I lie? Spacy I think there were 4 of you that came in from the UK. Remember the big tall fair guy? There was also one computer guy.
