@Genesismwanzo1 This information is incorrect but since it satisfies your ego you fail to verify it before sharing.
What does cadre wars benefit you with?
What does peddling lies help you with?
For the first time since February 2013, I have bought a newspaper.
I wanted to read this article on why Kenyan graduates struggle to find employment, and it corroborates what I wrote on this channel yesterday and on X today morning.
I agree that WORKPLACE CULTURE and POOR COMMUNICATION are rightfully the most common weaknesses I experience in new employees.
I have no problem with employing them even when they are still naive, but they don't want to be mentored.
They don't want to be corrected.
If you correct them, they call you toxic.
They don't want guidance.
If you guide them, they say you are intimidating them.
They want to be pampered.
They think they know better, and they see the employer as ignorant.
They don't value the culture of discipline, commitment and hard work.
They want to be paid 1 million today, buy a car today, buy a house today and become rich now.
Some start betting their salaries with the assumption that it will triple overnight, and once they lose, their productivity at work stumbles.
No employer is patient enough to embrace this behaviour, because bills don't care about a misbehaving employee.
Mentoring them through capacity-building programs costs a lot.
Unfortunately, those who have been mentored well get poached by other employers with promises of better pay, so employers fear training them.
Colleges and universities have let us down.
Parents and families have let us down.
We are inheriting a burden that should have been offloaded by family, school and even religion.
Values, morals and ethics are inherited at home, school and even religion.
It is costly carrying this burden.
However, if you are looking for an employment opportunity, then strive to be different.
Be a person of Discipline, order, and Commitment.
Don't say, "Nowadays jobs are given through nepotism."
Even those who give jobs without merit will think twice about whether to let their companies collapse through irregular hiring or let them flourish through meritocracy.
Competition has never been easier.
Step out, push harder, knock more, be consistent; something will give.
Don't get tired.
If you're a registered nurse working with student nurses and interns, be that person who allows them to make mistakes. Tell them it is okay to miss a cannulation, do a VE and tell them to confirm for you. Those simple acts takes them a long way
I have been rotating in psychiatry the last few weeks. It's one thing to see a patient, admit them, and prescribe antipsychotics or antidepressants. But seeing the faces of their mothers, fathers and brothers, it's so heartbreaking.
You can see the confusion, wondering what made their child/sister/brother like this. The desperation, wondering if they'll ever go back to their normal selves. And the exhaustion of taking care of a loved one who is constantly harming you verbally and sometimes even physically.
It made me realise how in psychiatry, and perhaps in other fields of medicine as well, you are treating not just the patient, but the relatives. We tend to forget to take care of the caregivers as well.
