Scourge of Paid Employment

In my years of working in corporate organisations, I have discovered that the employee 'almost always' believes he will get there. Where is 'there'? Uhuru. You are expected to do more in a paid employment. Also, the more you do, the more you have not done! It is called the 'CAN DO' spirit...*hmmmm* This means that you can do all things through whatever means.

I was shocked to learn that the reward for hard work in an organisation is MORE WORK! This shows you as diligent at your assigned and unassigned tasks. One begin to wonder why we still have so many unemployed and yet, seeking to get a white collar job......*modern enslavement*.

I hope I won''t be overtly cynical if I say that a number of organisations, *at least Nigerian owned organisations* now have sharp classes within the organisation, i.e the Rich and the Poor. One factor constant  with the rich is that they get richer and vice versa, the 'poor' get worse off. There is always a sacrificial lamb for the rich to get richer *I meant that literally anyway*...like someone getting fired to cut down on expenses.

What is the end of the matter? *taking a cue from the Holy Books* The rewards of a teacher they say is in heaven. I guess an employee too might just fit in well.

What do you have in your hands? I now champion a school of thoughts that strictly believes that "if you don't leave your work, your work will leave you at a time". *borrowed quote* Learn a trade. Sharpen your inborn skills. Be diligent with your talents. Improve on yourself. Stop searching for jobs. Start working on yourself. You can make it if you really try...but you have to TRY!

Great day folks!
