Career › Re: I Outshined My Employers, Now I'm in Trouble by pb99: 1:26am On Mar 10, 2017 |
B2Spirits: What you should know is that special skills can't be hidden by individuals that possess them. It's like managers getting pissed off with celebrated dribblers with less goals.
I worked as a manager in a company owned by a professor of literature. Most of the meetings took place on WhatsApp platform where contributors are experts in the field, except the owner.
I have found out that rich people always want you to massage their ego even if they are wrong, and prefer losing, at times, to following a commoner's advice. I had never wanted to outshine them, but whenever I perceived that the result of not heeding my advice would be fatal, I would devise linguistic crafts that could only deliver the message to the prof. despite being read by all. The others would hail my language use sophistication, without them knowing that the prof. was smarting. He would have no other choice than submitting to me.
Along the line, he devised ways of making me look stupid, and I quitted when the ovation was loudest.
Now I've secured a new job in an hospital. My job description is purely about presentations--assisting the owner, who has been taking up this role before my arrival. It also requires me to be in the hospital everyday. Here, I normally don't have much to do between 10am and 4pm. Since that I would be busy at night and in the morning, I use that period to shop and and get important stuff done--I would still obtain permission before embarking on these. This job should have more men on shifts, but they don't want to hire more persons.
Being a good orator, my employer felt threatened and stylishly mentioned it in one of his presentations.
In his words, "Don't be surprised at our new man's ability to compete with Mark Twain as an orator. We all have special skills, and you are well aware of mine as not being oratory."
That marked the beginning of dramas.
I have an apartment in the hospital. The TV here has DSTV subscription paid for monthly, and linked with hospital wards.
Two weeks after my arrival, the owner disabled it. His reason is that he doesn't want patients to be watching ungodly channels. Know that Tv in the wards must be switched off by 8pm. But I watch it in my apartment anytime I want. I see this as a calculated attempt to get at me.
It's evident that this man wants me to live as a slave from other policies he rolled out later, and added them to my job descriptions. For instance, he found something meaningless for me to be doing by 10am to 4pm in a bid to pin me to the office at all cost, knowing full well that I use that time preparing my presentations.
Now I'm planning to quit, but my people are saying I intentionally want to throw away an opportunity. What's your take? I believe every boss has a price, if you can discover this, and can afford it, you win their hearts automatically forever. |

Family › Re: Should I Marry This Man? by pb99: 9:08pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
I think you should follow your heart, after all, your family and his won't be the ones to live with him, you have your own life to live, your choices shouldn't be based on anyone's mind set or view of things. You shouldn't be responsible for what others understand, you're only responsible for your words and actions. Good luck. AdaAda1331: I've been in a relationship for 5 years with a great man; we met very young and we're still in school but almost about to graduate. We love each other and things would be easier if family wasn't involved.
His parents are currently divorced and his father, step mother and brother are very difficult people. They are uncompromising and closed minded. His brother has called me selfish and controlling even before the introduction has taken place.
I'm currently in my early twenties and I will be graduating as a doctor next year and I'm from a very peaceful home. I have not been wayward during school and I'm a christian. Seeing that his family doesn't see my value is very disappointing to say the least. I expected much more because I know I'm worth much more.
When you marry in the Nigerian community, you don't just marry the person, the whole family is involved. I have strong feelings for this man. He has refused to adopt his families negative characteristics. His values and character is more than any mother, future wife or friend can ask for. I'm lucky to have even known him.
Now, I'm at crossroads. I've prayed to God and I do have peace, but my parents are telling me to disregard that relationship and move on because of his family. Is it worth it? Is family a rate limiting step to choosing a spouse? How involved are family members in during marriage? Should I move on? |

It is not about Yorubas or west or east etc, it is for the benefit of our economy as a country. And someone had to speak up, we can't keep looking and having these people do whatever pleases them alone. asorocker: Why yorubas are so hell bent on having this project included in the budget is really surprising why are they crying more than the South South and south east.
Even the South East and Niger delta who are supposed to benefit from the project are not batting an eyelid.
Could this project be the Savior of south west or east bikonu. |
