OVERCOMING THE RAT RACE

Hi,

A very lovely day to you. “Thank God it’s Friday”, that’s the first thing I get to see on a friend’s profile as I log onto my system. “What is wrong with all these employees”, I wish to ask. Why is it that people who have found the work they so desired to guarantee their daily bread seem to be dissatisfied after a short while, and can’t wait for the weekend, when I suppose they get some well-deserved rest? While millions are bombarding heaven (or whatever they pray to) with daily prayers for employment and job opportunities, those who supposedly have been blessed and favoured with one seem to be asking for greener pastures. Is this the case of one man’s meat is another man’s poison? Or better put, this is life in a vicious cycle, what my dear friend, Robert Kiyosaki calls “The Rat Race”.

I personally think we have a greater problem than unemployment in this country. It is a phenomenon I’ve decided to call “Misemployment“. It appears to me that we have more and more people who are working in places they don’t like working in, doing jobs they have no passion for and coping with bosses they’ll rather fire. Now, I’m not blaming anybody for being where they don’t wanna be, afterall, “man must wack”. Yeah, that’s right. I guess at the end of the day, it boils down to having a daily bread, being able to feed the family and perhaps a monthly paycheck to look forward to, a paycheck that never seems to be enough.

But seriously, this calls for concern because I am conviced that a quick survey of the employees in our Public and Private Sector would reveal that this is true – we have more dissatisfied employees than those who are even unemployed. Trust me, so many may not voice it out, but as surely as the sun rises from the east, this saying is true. Indeed, so many people are in the wrong places; some by necessity, some by sheer luck, some even have jobs they don’t even want thrust at them by godfathers and mothers. This explains why you find people whom you expect the best of services from fall short of your expectation. It’s either there’s no smile on their faces, no customer relationship, no zeal for the job and of course, no satisfaction. I just came back from a bank a couple of hours ago where the Customer Service Personnel is noted for her rash behaviour and rude interactions with customers. What she’s still doing in the Customer Care Unit, I really can’t tell. Infact, the experience You find the same within our institutions, secondary schools, Federal and State parastatals etc. I guess that’s why the government, some years back, introduced this SERVICOM thing. If that is really working, I don’t know.

The same MISEMPLOYMENT phenomenon applies in the Nigerian political arena. Infact, it even gets worst there, where political offices are allocated to persons who are not even fitted for the responsibilities, both in character and learning. The result of this is too obvious, even the blind can see it.

Hmmmm, so much wahala. But this problem can be solved. How? That’s my topic for another day. Just stay tuned to this channel. Don’t miss out!
