@SafaricomPLC, @PeterNdegwa_ I have no peace at home with the teenagers. There is no Wi-Fi. It’s the second day. Same message, same promise. Please sort it out as soon as possible or we can check with other providers.
@C_NyaKundiH@FutureGPT Those people have been doing this over the years - allowing the importation of dirty fuel. The problem of entrusting incompetent and corrupt people with important dockets of the economy. It tires sometimes to work in this country.
Don't have a weak, defeated mentality. “I can’t handle this. It’s too much.” Have a new perspective. “Yes, I’m hurting, but still I rise. Yes, it looks bad, but still I believe. Yes, I’m outnumbered, but still I trust. Still I move forward. Still I dream. Still I expect the goodness of God.”
@AmbMonicaJuma @antonioguterres@UN_Vienna Congratulations @AmbMonicaJuma on your well deserved appointment by the UNSG @antonioguterres to the two positions. Your appointment epitomizes years of dedication, benefits of academic excellence and leading in silence. Godspeed in the new assignments.
There’s a man in my office who hasn’t been promoted in 6 years.
He arrives before everyone. Leaves after everyone. Knows the company’s systems better than the people who built them. When something breaks at 2am, they call him.
His name is on the bottom of reports that directors present to the board. He doesn’t complain. He says he’s just “not political.”
Last week, a 26-year-old joined us. MBA. Firm handshake. Calls the MD by his first name. Within 3 months, he’s already sitting in meetings my colleague has never been invited to.
I watched my colleague train him.
Smiled the whole time. Answered every question. Shared shortcuts it took him years to figure out.
Afterwards I asked him, don’t you feel cheated?
He looked at me for a long moment.
“I used to. But I realized something. I’ve been loyal to a company. Not a purpose. Those are not the same thing.”
He resigned two weeks later. Took everything he knew with him. Started something of his own.
The MD sent a company-wide email. Called it “a great loss to the team.”
Eleven years of emails. And that was the first one that mentioned his name.
The system will celebrate your exit more than it ever celebrated your presence. Stop waiting to be seen. Build something that sees you if you’re not appreciated where you are.
Attended the second day of the #KenyaAiHackathon#NiruAiHackathon at the Mövenpick Hotel. There is great talent in Kenya. The road to Singapore is real.
@georgenjoroge_ Sounds a very sad but common story for aged men. Men must decide how they are going to be loved in the future by fixing the problem when they are still energetic. Choose you and, perhaps our forefathers were right in certain practices like polygamy.
