I hired a BD who relocated from Lagos to our then Akure office. Two weeks into the job she requested to attend a training she had registered for in Lagos. She got back to work on Monday.
I remember we had a strategy session that day..reviewed our playbook etc.. an agency even came to pitch us ... you need to see the way she grilled them, speaking in "us, we, 6 months plan, 1 year plan" . LOL
That same day, by 5PM on the dot, she dropped a resignation on Slack...and before I could say jack she's gone offline.... she left for a big commercial bank (fair enough)..... the 'training' was actually her 'onboarding'.
Employees also have dreams and aspirations. They have a dream job in mind, and 9/10 times it's not your shaky, not-funded, about-to-die, barely-meeting-payroll startup.
The onus is on you to build that company into the "dream job" that people would fast and pray to land...
Until then, support and appreciate their contributions.... and when it's time to move on let them leave with the 'loudest possible' applauds.
Game on !
idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.
Just learned a new word:
Eremition
(eh-ruh-mish-un)
The act of gradually fading from the lives of others, not out of malice, but a desire for solitude or renewal.
Dear PVC-wielding night nurses, escorts and pimps. Before you vote next year, remember that this government said itโll make sure Hill Station and Plateau Hotels are open for business. Nothing has happened, but they are buying expensive cars for already very rich people. Imagine the clients youโll have had thereโrich white people and stealing politicians.
Remember!!!
Abuja has no transport system. Itโs a mystery how people without cars get around. Someone dropped me off at Berger junction yesterday and I did not know how to get to Mabushi with my dignity intact.
