It's another beautiful beautiful Thursday and for me another opportunity to share a life changing experience I was discussing with my sister some time last week when I realised I had talked about this side of my life here.
Honestly being nice isn't difficult some people just don't know how to share happiness around then that's very sad.
After working in a place where we worked as family.What I understand in having a good working condition generates from the top the kind of relationship that the management shares with it workers matter's a lot. So I had worked at their place for almost 8 years shared some beautiful memories with other staffs and one day out of the blue our boss died. All of a sudden from heart attack that's when my world changed 💔.

His brother non of us had met expect for the accountant resumed work the Monday after his demise on Sunday. We were in shock the staff members didn't understand what was happening. How can a kind person just died over night just like that someone that was in the office on Saturday to see how things were going. Hmmmm so I tried to see if I could work with his brother at least for old time sake because this Man never treated any of us badly. You will be waiting to get paid for 2 month and still be happy to to to work because he will always explain what's holding back to he pay and once that's sorted you get your money and aside the pay you still get tips from clients so some of us don't bother much until he sorts out the delay.

But all this changed when his brother took over we started experiencing 4 month delay and at the 6th month I dropped my Letter of resignation. You would say why . The answer is very simple he wasn't anything like my late boss.
That's how I left and started asking for my salary finally got paid in 3 tranches and I moved on before I knew what was happening the business closed down.
Now to the main reason why am doing this throw back. After much struggling I landed a job as a Personal Assistant to a lady I will be sincere with you after working for that woman I dreaded working for women until I met a woman I named my god mother till date.
Omotunde was one woman that made me hate going to work. Every morning I will have this fear of what's going to happen today Na, how will she shout how many visitors is she going to have because for every one visitor I will have to take a walk. Her office was the her living room as she claims her business was a small start up and she couldn't afford an office yet.i will leave for work in dear and this wasn't my kind of person and this was affecting my mental health. Coming from a place where we did things as a family and here now alone hearing words like if this doesn't work out 'you will see Jesus before rapture" I told myself this place isn't for me. And that I rather sit at home than keep coming here. See how I left that place I couldn't even look the woman to her face to tell you the level of fear in me. She was traveling out of the country on a business trip the day before her trip I dropped her office phone in her guest room with my letter and closed for the day. The next day madam was waiting for Naomi to resume work after calling her office line and I didn't pick because on one call you must take her call no matter what's happening to you.she then called my phone and after avoiding her call lsblike twice I summon courage and picked and told her I can't work under duress that I had dropped her phone in her house and everything in my possession.
Now why am I sharing this experience am now my own boss 😉 and having worked with another woman I tell you for free that it's takes nothing to be kind or treat people with some measure of respect or share goodness around you . As a boss you can't just be bitter all the time and spread that bitterness to your subordinate I know there are still some bosses like omotunde out there but life is a small global village be kind to your staffs don't allow them come to work with fear as that won't make them give their best at all.
Dear is a tool for destruction let's not allow it destroy someone's future.
I struggled with a caption for the write up.
