@Thapz__ "small club is STILL carrying the weight of South African football". ๐คฃ I guess some clubs focus on being big and some focus on league success.
We remember the sinking of the SS Mendi on 21 February 1917, where over 600 members of the Native Labour Corps lost their lives. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. #ArmedForces2026#ArmedForcesDay2026
Let's not do that.
Instead of reacting emotionally or impulsively, try a smarter approach.
Ask this one calm, strategic question:
โ โMay I understand how this information relates to the requirements or performance expectations of this role?โ
That single question does three important things:
1. It keeps the conversation professional
2. It protects your boundaries
3. It signals confidence and awareness
If HR says itโs about availability or flexibility:
โ โIโm fully able to meet the roleโs expectations regarding time, travel, and deliverables.โ
If HR says itโs about long-term commitment:
โ โIโm committed to delivering value and growing within a role where performance is the key measure.โ
See the shift?
From a personal question
- to a role-focused discussion
- without confrontation or disrespect
Youโre not being difficult.
Youโre being professional.
