Genuine Freindship At Work

Genuine Freindship At Work
I have a pretty tight schedule. Being in full time employment and doing Biashara on the side doesn’t leave you with a lot of time in your hands. I’ve also had the chance to work for different employers, actually four to be precise in the last six years of employment.

In all those companies I always make it a point to get along well with others. You stand to gain more when you’re friendly than those obnoxious employees who operate at their own level. Anyway, even after making such good friendship I only find that they are ‘very few workmates’ who can be truly counted as real friends.

Even when I make like fifteen good friends, at the end of the day you’ll normally find that you’ve kept in touch with only one or at best two friends after leaving a particular employer.

In college, making friends is as simple as sharing a particular course or unit, or staying in the hostel or having fun together in a particular joint. After graduation, however, there are no such opportunities. Because you might be too busy to go out and meet new people, the tendency is to target your coworkers.

But there are differences between close friends who will be there for you through life’s tough times and people you hang out with while you happen to be stuck in the same office or building. You can spare yourself disappointment later on by noting the differences between a work friend and a real friend.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:
• If your friend left the company, would you still be in touch with him or her in a year?
• If you had a personal emergency, would you consider asking your friend for help?
• Do you hang out with your friend outside the office? (Weekday lunches, happy hours, and business trips don’t count.)
• Have you met your friend’s significant other? What about his or her friends outside the office?
• If your friend received the promotion you were banking on, would you be genuinely happy for him or her?
• If you ran into your friend in the streets, would you be able to talk to them for 10 minutes without mentioning work?
• Have you seen where your friend lives?
• Do you and your friend have anything in common besides your age and your job?

If you answered yes to several of these questions, you might have found yourself a real friend at work.

Is there anything like genuine friendship in the workplace?Many people’s careers have been destroyed by supposedly ‘good friends’ and others have had their lives changed for the better.

What’s your experience  with workplace friendship? Did they steal your promotion, job, wife or  even husband? comments below.

Young Professional Men. Guide To Finding Yourself A Good Partner.

Young Professional Men. Guide To Finding Yourself A Good Partner.
Where are all the good career women? We tell you the good, the bad, and the very ugly truth.

Just like you, I have been fascinated by the story of the Nigerian pastor and the 10,000 beautiful Kenyan women looking for the elusive Kenyan man. At first, I ignored it for the sole reason that I am not a relationship expert and always prefer to leave the job to the professionals. But then again, it hit me hard. Those women and ladies who were at KICC were the young 20’s to 30’s.

Women who are young in their careers and jobs. What happened to their counterparts males? I went to the Nairobi streets and talked to the young men and luckily you will get all the advice you need here. Apparently the reason why many young men are not interested in marriage is because of the unbecoming behavior of many young professional women. Please read on as narrated by one Chris…..

Why is it so hard to find a really good woman nowadays? Is it because we men spoilt them silly or pampered them to the state of rotting grades? Could it be the media playing a big part in it too? Making women feel like it’s a better world without men around sometimes.

In this topic I am writing, I am going to show you what a regular good guy (assuming this chap is of sound mind and characteristic standing here) should look out for, and what he should do if he wants to know if he can proudly bring his date home to the parents.

Just follow the methods of what I mention below and chances are, you may get the right lady for a rewarding and blissful relationship.

1) man-hater.
Heard of those feminist bitches that never stop bad mouthing a man’s dignity, his career, his pockets, and even the size of his manhood in his trousers? The poor guy will never understand what he ever did or said but this woman of his will never be satisfied with him.

Usually, this sort of man-hater woman grew up in an environment where her mother is the boss of the household and she is taught and shown that all men are useless creatures who only know how to eat, fucks and sleep.

There’s a high chance she is doing extremely well in a corporate career. Earns tons of money too. Date this kind of woman if you are a gigolo.

2)Natural beauty and extreme vanity are different things
All men are captivated by beauty. Including myself. There’s nothing shameful to admit this. I’ve met countless beautiful women in my scope of work (I work as a doctor).

I am very attracted to naturally good looking women who bother to eat healthily, exercise, are hygienic, and practical. When you take a good look at their faces, they have a barely-there kind of make up and yet, their complexion is flawless. They never brag about themselves and are always humble.

While on the other hand, there are the so-called attractive women, who look presentable, usually can turn heads when they walk pass. Unfortunately, these are the ones who talk 24/7 about their facial treatments, their hair, their false eyelashes, their fake accent, their hand bags, their dressing, their foundation and powder, their holiday trips, their boobs or what ever fucks. It’s all about her. And only her and no one else but her. Get the point?

Yes, they are good lookers, but when they start to talk, I realize that their only concern is: Themselves.
If you are thinking of marrying these kind, be prepared that she will never take good care of you if you ever need it. But, if you are looking for a good time, she can make your mates envy you.

Salaries. Why It Should Remain Private!

Salaries. Why It Should Remain Private!
Let’s face it: our salaries are very important. They define how much our employer thinks we are worth, what we can afford to do in our lives, and even our self worth. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we are what you make.

Our salaries are also a way to measure how our career is going (is it steadily climbing or has it stagnated?) and what kind of future we may or may not have at our jobs.

At my old job, for example, getting a raise was like pulling teeth. Even if you went above and beyond your duties to help the company, it didn’t matter a whole lot. Salaries were kept low because that was just the way business was done. To most people there, being underpaid was simply a fact of life. It’s one of the reasons I left and the main reason turnover was so high.

So I’m definitely one of those people that thinks you should pay attention to your salary and make sure it reflects how hard (hopefully you’re all working hard out there) you’re working.

But there’s a limit: it’s worth it to compare yourself to the people around you.

I Can’t Believe He’s Making More Than Me!

This is the kind of thing that will drive you insane. Let’s say that someone you work with who is at the same level you are drives you nuts. For whatever reason, you see yourself as being WAY smarter, WAY more efficient, and WAY more hardworking than that person.

And then let’s say you find out they make just as much as you do. Or—gulp—more than you. It’ll drive you crazy if you let it get to you. Here’s where you can refer to an old maxim that will help you through a lot of issues in your life (not just at work):  Life isn’t fair.

Get used to it. The only thing comparing salaries will get you is some tense moments in the office. Maybe you’ll feel unconsciously hostile towards some people if you disagree with what they’re making. Maybe it’ll just wear you down after a tough day at work. Maybe it’ll make you bitter. Either way, it won’t help you in any way. All it will do is hurt.
