SOCIAL DYNAMITE



SOCIAL DYNAMITE
“An unstable society is like a land mine that is waiting for someone to step on it to explode”.
Anthony Kiarie.
Our modern society is plagued by so many social issues that have a far reaching effect upon the people.  I call it an unstable society. The fact that many people in our society constitute young, energetic and unemployed youths makes things worse. Some are unemployed due to fate and ill luck, while others are just lazy. But all have one thing in common, they want to survive and to survive they have to.

OFFICE POLITICS, Be smart and Informed



Consider this scenario from a modern work place in our day to day career life.
*Names are fiction.
It is 10:36 AM. A group of workers are chatting during a tea break. “As from tomorrow the director said that all the submissions from the field work entries on sales shall be submitted before noon and failure to do so will be met by a disciplinary action, which might mean getting fired.” , said Husna who every one dreads due to her usual cutting remarks and ‘close connections’ with the company director. And she continues, “On top of that, all entries must be typed and printed and must be on a paper which has the company’s letter head”. 
From the following day, almost everyone complied with the ‘new rules of operations’ from the director. What they did not know is that the director said none of the ‘new rules’. Husna just came up with the rules and knowing that the director is a harsh no-nonsense man, took advantage of it to holistically lie to everyone to her advantage. Initially it was her work to receive the entries as written by field officers on their data collection sheets, type them and have them with a company letter head, file them in accordance to departments and dates of submission and present the whole work to the director at the end of the month. Why am I giving this imaginary scenario that replays itself so often in our work places? Read on….

Important People to Know and be in-touch in our WORK PLACES
Andrew’s phone rings on Monday morning and he reaches for it. At the other end is Jacqueline, a Company’s secretary who works at one of the regional centers of the company. “How do I switch on this new Epson Scanner and how is it operated? I have tried everything in the manual but do not seem to get things right.” Andrew being the company’s Information Technology Help Desk Personnel, this is an easy task for him.  “Make sure all the power cords are properly fixed, switch it on using the red button which is beneath the sticker marked EPSON INC, then……”. And we can be sure Andrew solved the secretary’s problem. Why am I giving you this scenario that is repeated almost every day in many work places in our society and in our careers? If you wish to know, then read on.
