Knock, Knock....
Checking in again....
Alright, It's Xmas day and I'm chilling at home with a can of Pepsi and fried turkey.
Had church online : www.cozanigeria.tv. The service was brief but on point.
Well been a while peeps since I last put stuff on this wall and a lotta things have happened.
I guess one of my resolutions in 2012 will be regular blogging.
GOD PASS DEM!
It's funny how people tend to pay lip service to glaring issues in life....
I've been working in a place for close to 21 months now and I have witnessed how painfully short - sighted people can be.
I came into the system at a time when the firm was in disarray - animosity, pettiness, sharp practices etc. were the order of the day.
Like a knight in shining armour, I led a crusade of Hard Work, Professionalism, Transparency.
Coincidentally, my HOD who had served for 18 years stepped out. (retiring honourably)
I was next on line, she (HOD) had trained me well and after a lotta dilly dallying, the management directed me to step into her position as acting HOD.
A lotta beef resulted from my "promotion". But trust your boy.. I held my own, I confronted when I had to, laid low when necessary, more importantly, divine grace was at work for me.
But what pissed/pisses me off more are the "so called plans" the management say they have in store for me.....
It's been 5 months and despite the "acting allowance" they mercifully bestowed on me, my take home is still less than one - third of what my predecessor used to earn (they don't know I'm privy to this info)
In fairness to the management, they put some things in place for me - once a month supply of beverages - Milk, Tea etc - , Increase of my monthly phone airtime allocation from 1500 to 3500 or so.( ridiculous right? lol)
Dem try abi? But considering the fact that a car is attached to that position alongside some major perks - which they haven't deemed me fit to enjoy....
Well I ain't complaining, just saying 'cos I am young, that don't mean you should pay lip service to the benefits I am entitled to"
Coupled with the fact that I have been instrumental to the restoration of some values in the firm as a whole viz. professionalism, honesty, diligence, team work etc, I honestly feel I should be appreciated more than what is being done and if you ain't gonna appreciate me via my remuneration....For Chrissakes, DON'T PATRONIZE ME VIA LIP - SERVICE.
But guess what? After praying about the situation and reporting them (management) to God.
The Most High told me to stay focused, keep on keeping on and expect my reward from Him not them (management).
Guess what? I'm about to shock them BIG TIME!
All in All.....GOD PASS THEM
Stay tuned to the jaw dropping testimony......
Femi, welcome to the world of capitalism - getting the best for less. Putting corporate profits over the welfare of workers. Workers are not expected to grow economically in proportion to the company, nay. You are expected to give your all in return for a chance to "just" survive. In pure capitalism - the bottom-line (net profit) is the holy grail. And that profit they'll get even if it means replacing you with a novice when your demands for fair remuneration gets on their nerves. And guess what? you will be required to train the novice.
