Workplace Attitudes: Inside Nigeria though,
I do not have much work experience because I have worked for just few years but these are some work place attitudes I have encountered in these few years.
The NFA: No future Ambition. They have been there for ages,stationary staff,in academics,they have no papers and publications,they are acdemically barren.In the Civil service,if not for Biannual promotion they will be at a spot perpetually but when they see others making progress they become jealous and frustrated.
The NO MONEY(s): Have you met them? Two days after salaries are paid,they embark on loan and thrifts from banks,friends,family and even enemies. They never learn to save, no matter how much or how little .They have no family responsibilities,no wife,parents or children but attend all asoebis and red carpets.
The ATTACHEE:They do not have their own voices,others are their sound systems,when you help them air their views,they still remain fearful.
The JUDAS(is):They are cheap betrayals .They are loyalists for gains and sometimes for no just cause or justifiable reasons. They slay and slam and when confronted,they deny,rescind and play innocence especially when it involves a superior officer,they tape record others in the same panel of gossip and tongue killing with the intention sometimes to be rewarded.
The DOWN-TO-EARTH:These are honest and faithful staff,they never see white and refer to it as black,they may sometimes be activists and may be violent in their approach and their fight for justice. They are never intimidated neither do they silence their consciences once equity is involved .
The FEARFUL:They have very low self esteem. More often they are insecured and have fear of the unknown,fear of losing out,once they are confronted,they give the unimaginable history and details of events that never happened,they mostly give out plans that took years to conceal.
The ANTAGONISTS: They have no reasonable suggestion but antagonises right moves in the right directions.
The OVERBURDENED,DEPRESSED:The workplace is all they have,they may be confronted with one challenge at the home front and from Genesis to Exodus they vividly without hesitations, give the breakdown of how Mongo Park initially wooed their late grandmother but ended up breaking her heart.
The PESSIMISTS AND LAZY:They see nothing good in that job they do,full of complaints and murmurs and they are lazy even when they change jobs they are still who they are . They concentrate on non-essentials,leave their jobs undone while busy with Social media comments and trends, always on twitter and FaceBook to post ridiculous comments while Jobs on their tables are left unattended to.
The Unwise:They spiritualise their jobs.They do not do what is expected of them as at when due,in stead, they are locked somewhere praying,doing maybe the right thing at the wrong time. They mostly forget that there is time for everything under the sun and that faith and work goes hand in hand.When called to attend to their jobs,they give excuses on the premise that they are on spiritual exercises.
The FAVOUR SEEKERS And SUPPOSED FRIEND. They only do what ever will favour them,they will never help you break an egg once they cannot get a fair share from it.
The CANKERWORM: These ones,we have them more in Nigeria. They do not mind if an institution fails or if a system is destroyed or even if the work place collapses,all they consider is their own momentary and monetary gains afterwards, not minding the future consequences of their actions on even the populace .They eat,consume and embezzle just anything.
These are the few I can remember i have met,tell me the ones you have met so far.What category do you belong?
