Career Advice. Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody
Career Advice. Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody
Someone forwarded me this and i thought it was good sharing. You might have read it elsewhere but there is a career/jobs angle to it.
Why the job was not done.
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
You’ve probably see this one before, but behind the play on words, there is some great career advice. This email reminded me once again of the importance of taking personal responsibility for your career success.
If you want to create the life and career success you want, don’t be like Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. Be true to yourself. Take responsibility for your life and career success. Don’t let Everybody, Somebody, Anybody or Nobody stop you from doing what you need to do to create the life and career success you want and deserve.
Take personal responsibility for defining what life and career success means to you. Take personal responsibility for building your self confidence. Take personal responsibility for developing the career success competencies you need to succeed. Take personal responsibility for building and nurturing relationships that will help you create your career success.

Sexual Harrasment Employee Sues Standard Chartered Bank For 45.6Millions.
Sexual Harrasment Employee Sues Standard Chartered Bank For 45.6Millions.
As reported by Daily Nation.
A former bank employee wants Sh45.6 million in compensation for alleged sexual harassment by her boss.
Ms Jane Gichuki, 33, said she was forced to quit her job as a portfolio manager with Standard Chartered Bank because she could not withstand the conduct of her immediate boss, Mr Ben Muchina.
She termed his body language as “suggestive”, which made her uncomfortable during the two years she worked at the bank. “I was continually intimidated and subjected to sexual harassment. He also made statements about Kenyan women that suggested his sexual interest,” she said.
The former manager said she turned down unsolicited offers to meet her boss for drinks after working hours.
She is seeking payment for loss of earnings for 20 years she could have worked for the bank before attaining the mandatory retirement age of 55 and medical and counselling expenses amounting to Sh45,655,000.
Ms Gichuki has named Mr Muchina, an expatriate from Zimbabwe, and the Standard Chartered Bank as the defendants. Lawyer Chacha Odera, for the bank, said the allegations had been denied and would put the plaintiff to strict proof on the same.
Ms Gichuki alleged that her former boss insinuated to her that she would obtain a favorable appraisal at work if she gave in to his sexual advances.
She asserted that due to her boss’ actions and victimization occasioned by the bank, she “suffered psychologically” and had to get medical treatment.
She blamed the bank for failing to take action even after she repeatedly lodged complaints and that it failed to recognize her outstanding achievements by giving her a poor performance rating in 2006.
But the bank set up a tribunal on June 12, 2007, to investigate her allegations, which she said did not apply to her since she had resigned from their employment on June 5, 2007. Lady Justice Ruth Sitati yesterday adjourned the hearing to January 25, 2011, for the bank to be served with the suit documents.
The amount of money Ms Jane Gichuki wants to be paid in compensation for alleged sexual harassment.

Higher Education Loans Board HELB Warning To Defaulters.
Higher Education Loans Board HELB Warning To Defaulters.
I went through the public university system and to a larger extent the Government through HELB funded my education. Obviously when i was given the cash i didn’t consider the implications and mostly just squandered it.
I have been painfully paying the loan through employer deduction but it looks like life will get real tough for the defaulters. HELB is seeking to enlist the services of debt collectors and the newly created credit reference bureau. and if your name features with any of the two it will be very very hard to access a loan anywhere else.
Debt collectors will be enlisted to track down defaulters of government university loans beginning this month.
This follows the expiry of a two-week ultimatum issued to the past loanees to present their details to the board to speed up repayment.
The Higher Education Loans Board is also preparing to for- ward names of defaulters to credit reference bureaus for action, including blacklisting them for credit access.
A notice issued last month to former beneficiaries who were not repaying their loans expired at the weekend.
In the notice, the board informed defaulters that it planned to engage the services of debt collectors to recover the amount owing. “To avoid the above, all beneficiaries currently not re-paying their loans are required to forward to the board their names, identity card numbers and current postal addresses,” said the notice.
“They should also forward their current employers’ names and postal address.” Loanees who are unemployed- or self employed were also required to provide all their details.
Those targeted are the ones who took up loans under the defunct Higher Education Loans Fund, the Education ministry and Helb.

Office Etiquette. Some Men Behaving Badly.
Office Etiquette. Some Men Behaving Badly.
It’s yet another Monday morning and we get to share your career and job related troubles. Help this young woman who wrote over the weekend.
I work in a small office with four men. I am a 23 year old woman–they are all in their thirties and forties. You should hear the way they talk to each other; they use profanity, make sexist, lewd and derogatory comments, gossip and talk bad about everyone, including their customers, wives and girlfriends.
My goal at my job is to do my job, be kind and polite to customers and co-workers. So for the sake of keeping my job and not being hated by everyone I keep quiet about the things I see, hear, and endure. I don’t say much when someone is rude to me because I don’t want things to escalate into an argument.
I make these guys tea everyday (although it’s not in the job description). I thought this would show them that I care about them and I just want to fit in – but I want to fit in without having to compromise my own dignity.
Why do I have to put up with this type of behavior? Isn’t this my workplace too? Don’t these grown men realize what’s acceptable and what’s not appropriate in an office/business setting? Do they not think some of their comments and references offend me? I feel like they do not value me and my position here, they see me as a dumb little blonde, hired just to appease people because I have a nice disposition.I am smart, competent, a hard worker, dependable, efficient AND nice. One thing I lack is the ability to handle confrontation as I don’t want to upset people. I like everyone to be happy.
My true boss works a branch away and is only here every few weeks. I’m afraid if I complain to him that he’ll just replace me. I’m the third office assistant they’ve had in less than a year.
I like my job – I like my benefits – It’s very hard for me to find another job with this kind of flexibility. What should I do?
