We have two female NYSC corps members serving in our Office.
One is very friendly. She greets everyone, gets along with the staff, and people genuinely enjoy working with her.
The other can be quite rude. Staff members complain about her attitude regularly.
They’ll be passing out soon, and our boss asked HR to evaluate them because he wants to retain only one person.
The rude one is exceptionally smart. She joined the marketing department and has already closed a deal, while the friendly one is still learning and trying to figure out the job.
If they retain the rude one, she’ll likely produce great results, but her attitude is a major concern.
HR asked everyone for their opinion. Out of 10 staff members, 8 said they shouldn’t retain her. One person even volunteered to train the friendly one. 😂
Character is everything.
If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.
Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.
My uncle married a woman who loves to party.
Not "loves to have fun" party. I mean she has a whole going-out bag packed at all times. Ready. Waiting.
Uncle is the most indoors man alive. Asleep by 9.
Thinks a "wild night" is watching two movies back to back.
First month of marriage, she started coming home at 2am. He said nothing.
Just unlocked the door and went back to sleep.
I canceled a date because I wasn’t feeling great.
I told him the truth. My period had started, I was exhausted, and I was in one of those moods where even putting on jeans felt unreasonable.
I assumed we’d just reschedule.
Instead, he asked if he could stop by for a minute. I said yes.
A little while later he showed up at my door with ice cream and chocolate.
He handed me the bag, gave me a hug, said he hoped I felt better soon, and then left.
That was it.
No expectation that I entertain him. No attempt to turn it into a shortened date. No “well, I’m already here, so can I come in?” He just wanted to........
