It was around the year 2013, I worked in an organization. It was my second time working in a coperate organization. I just came and I had to get acquainted with the Company and I did by the help of a staff, called Agianpe Ashang! This Lady was in a subtle way the heart of that company, and when it came to its inner workings, she knew her way around almost everything, if I wasn't cleared about anything I got a perfect solution from her. She was a very hardworking staff, was always first to come before 8am, rarely misses work, always made sure work was done. I admired her, and I was shocked when Agianpe Ashang announced that she was moving to Abuja from Lagos, for a new Work she just got, that they sent her a mail, it was a more advanced Company where her pay will be more than double of her current salary. Plus other incentives, and that was the kind of work she wanted, As I was just a temporary staff, an intern, I was sure that the Management of the Company will miss her. We became friends, she made me learn how to incorporate a Company, I even had to prepare all the CAC forms myself, before she left, she gave me two beautiful black skirts I took to law school. It was very nice of her!
Despite the busy schedule of the Company, an in house farewell party was held on Agianpe Ashang behalf. This was because she was truly an exceptional staff, with a high level of professionalism, diligence, and consistency.
Women who are staff of Companies are required to be diligent and live up to the standard of such organizations.She should try as much as practicable to be at work every work day, should dress decently and professionally to suit the image of such firm, they should see to their duties will utmost diligence, with required skills and care, should work in a way that their "good" works speak for them. So that they will be recommended on merit,and also be promoted on merit.
Its no news that some ladies do not take their work seriously, they can stay away from their work place unceremoniously without any cogent reason, just merely cheap lies, hoping that they will "smile" their way out of any problem their absence may cause, some take unnecessary excuses, from work and end up being absent for almost half of the year in total, making a joke out of their employment. It is a fact that their record will speak in the long run! And definitely work against them, A fact that they fail to ponder on.
Women who are lucky to work in different organizations should understand that making money is serious business and they should not have in mind that a business place is where they can flaunt all their physical and emotional charms, and come out looking "charming". They should leave their "charms" for their private lives, bring their best initiative and Brain to work. There is no sentiment in business. Nobody cares if you are light skinned or ebony, or straight legged, when you have shown to be incompetent and a never do well. Every pacesetting Organization looks forward to having well articulated, competent, serious-minded, result oriented people, who can give them value for their money. So the next time you think you can work and move up the ladder of a fore leading Organization by presenting a lackadaisical, carefree, lazy and inconsistent attitude, think again.
The worst still, is the idea of ladies who wants to cut corners to get a job, by using their physical endowment, like sleeping with a staff of the company who is in the recruiting department, or a top staff of such organization. Its an old saying that when you "sleep" with someone to get in, you will keep "Sleeping" with them to stay in. It is more neater to get into an employment by merit, or by recommendation, than using your "physical charms" so that you can have a bit of peace of mind, exercise your freewill, and have your dignity intact whilst working there. It may seem difficult, but it pays in the long run.
So while women keep Clamouring for Equal consideration in Employment, They should be girded with the right attitude toward work.
