I don't know who Mr. Festus Litiku is, but he's the Okiya Omtatah in arbitration cases. When researching arbitration cases that have gone to court, searching his name on eKLR is good starting point.
Thereโs a man in my office who hasnโt been promoted in 6 years.
He arrives before everyone. Leaves after everyone. Knows the companyโs 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 doesnโt complain. He says heโs just โnot political.โ
Last week, a 26-year-old joined us. MBA. Firm handshake. Calls the MD by his first name. Within 3 months, heโs 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, donโt you feel cheated?
He looked at me for a long moment.
โI used to. But I realized something. Iโve been loyal to a company. Not a purpose. Those are not the same thing.โ
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 โa great loss to the team.โ
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 youโre not appreciated where you are.
Women living alone eat like pests, my God.
Noodles, two slices of bread and wine for dinner thrice a week izo siku zingine analala njaa na Out of Africa mixed nuts kwa kiti kama nyau. And the government is just quiet!
@DStv_Kenya are some serious jokers. They make packages that don't make sense and force people to pay for mediocre content?
Mimi kama mimi siwezi afford any more. Bye bye
I'm no business expert, but I think if @DStv_Kenya had bild your package options they'd get more people willing to pay instead of paying for 60 channels to only watch 4 channels
@Tim_abner You did a great job with the car. Did you DIY or you have technicians? I'm looking for someone in Nairobi to sort out wiring issues (appears to be short circuits) on my RD2. Do you have any leads?
