If you want to get ahead, just be easy to work with. Show up on time. Do what you said you'd do. Bring solutions, not problems. Never create drama. Be responsive. Be emotionally consistent. Be kind. People will always want to support someone who just makes their life easier.
Again, stay wicked. 😂
Don’t be opening your hand for some people.
This person usually does 1GB to 2GB. There was an issue, so I called her on Sunday. All through the call, she kept saying she hadn’t gotten back to so-and-so because she had no data. I finally gave in, because she kept repeating it, and I was burning airtime while stuck on the call.
So I said, let me buy data for you so we can talk on WhatsApp. I did 10GB for her, ₦4,000. I had just ₦6,000 in my account. 😂
Left with ₦2,000 to manage the day. 😅
Last night I was trying to get a report or some kind of feedback, and all I kept hearing was “I no too get data.” I ignored it completely, because my blood was already boiling and I knew what that meant. Then she put her phone on airplane mode so the call wouldn’t connect properly, and that was how the conversation ended. I didn’t call back.
Nigerians need to stop treating kindness like an opening to exploit people.
You don’t know how it’s going for someone. Just because they show up a little doesn’t mean they have plenty. Some people inconvenience themselves to help, and that does not mean they are loaded.
