There is this place in Kigali ngo Boss used to tell the so called “my supervisor” ngo do you know where Beranova is over the weekend? One morning during CHOGM that lady sent me a message asked me “aren’t you attending the CHOGM” then I said no and she asked me “why”?
Then, for CEO & her to confirm if I wasn’t really attending the conference they called a physical meeting yet the rest of the staff were working remotely due to that event.
I reached at a point I used to feel like someone is trolling/ watching even on my days off.
And I remember by the time my eyes were severely sick and bloody and had a lot of appointments including doing MRI and CT-scan, I texted her a day before to let her know that I couldn’t make to the office the next day due we had a meeting, she responded “Beranova ujye umenya gutandukanya ibiri akazi nibitari akazi”! She seemed not to accommodate the emergency situation I was in yet she’s such individual whom like to be understood and given time when emergency arise!
Well, I carried on for quite long and a friend of mine was told by another colleague that “you need to check up on Beranova because I think her mental health is in good state”.
That friend called me after work ask me if she could come stay over at my place and I was like “maybe it’s been a while since we last saw each other” and when she got there we sat down and she listened what I have going through and she was sorry for but on that day, I felt like somebody saw me through and gave me her space due to such toxic working environment I was in.
I think the following year, I wrote a resignation email that no one was expecting and sent it the same night! The CEO was shocked and called a meeting for 3 of us.
He asked “why are you resigning Beranova so that we could avoid such things to the next person”? I told him in this office there are whom are treated like Kings and Queens then the rest are just garbages and peasants to be gossiped by those I mentioned above. Especially, I didn’t like my treatment during the sickness and I was like ni gute abayobora abandi baba bameze nkaho mwabahaye inkoni zibyuma ngo babayobore nkaho ari impumyi.
Later, the CEO asked the lady to have a one on one to reconcile and stuff. She asked me we meet at Marriott and started telling me why such harsh treatment towards me and I said I got it but that was not the right way.
She apologized and later, she asked me if I would change my mind on the quitting decision and I said no this will have immediate effect as I mentioned in the email I sent earlier.
FYI: I was not that rebellious employee as some people in Kigali accuse of young people in the workplace, as a matter of fact, I worked there almost 3 years.
But, in the last year I always prayed for 5PM to leave that office so I can go have some fresh air.
I pray no one happens to such Bossy manager and toxic workplace. And if you read well to comprehend you will grasp an idea why the lady had started becoming so Bossy yet when I started she wasn’t!
one sign of a toxic work environment is ensuring that you are at work at the stipulated time of arrival but always feel gulty leaving at 5.
i hope y'all survive such places sooner than later bse ehh 😁

To the Bosses who don’t pay people especially youth in Kigali what’s wrong with you? I get it that they may not have families yet but they need to build their future!
Ever since I entered the corporate world, I realized having a good direct Manager is the best thing that can ever happen to you!
This determines your level of misery or best days.

@Bakarofroduard Wonder if the government sets only employees rights for just governmental institutions then the rest from private sector have to endure such abuse! Those people are just working to survive and get the food on their families’ table but deep down baba barashize!
It’s your rights to be entitled of being well treated. And won’t back down anymore to such micro management of those women who at some point in time become slaves of their Executives by serving their bodies to their Bosses. I hope you found a better place where they prioritize professionalism over mediocrity!
@ChristianShimwa I understand if you are still in that office you still need their portion of bread at the end the month. I used to think that way until I couldn’t hold the nonsense anymore.
They are going to come here saying I’m against my fellow women but sincerely speaking I wouldn’t trade my peace of mind for nonsense incompetent beings at all. Good for you that you are fighting for something you will be proud of in next few years instead of being peasant and servant to those who teaching nothing other than serving their stupidity!
@Sim0Xonz Some of those bosses who become to be bossy bring nothing more than their bodies at the table of their Executives. Glad you didn’t have to go through such hell as I did and this completely changed my career aspirations especially working with Rwandans.
You maybe 1000% right and from their behaviors you can tell that she thinks she’s who she is! Our society praises mediocrity over everything and there is no way that employee was treated like garbage will ever be productive and then at some point in workplaces will blame them instead of holding accountable that bossy woman.
