@ All

To put this thread in perspective,let the employers point out the qualities of a good/bad/worst employee and let the employees who then determine which of these make the employer a good/bad/worst of the employers.

May I take the liberty of going into fiction and give the example of CTU and Jack Bauer? (Please humour me). CTU has the primary objective of fighting terrorism. It has been given a set of protocols by its supervisory organization,Division which answers to Homeland Security and is judged by these protocols.

However,Mr. Bauer often breaks these protocols which stand in the way of the primary objective but ends up stoping the terrorist(s),also at a great expense to his personal life.

In this regard,is CTU a good employer of Mr. Bauer or is it the worst? Is Mr. Bauer,who accomplishes the primary objective of CTU,but breaks the protocols,a good employee or the worst employee at CTU?

Just a thought. Just a thought.

In as far as this thread is concerned,so far the best employer,in my opinion,is the 'Muhindi' who gave Mr. Zuma a spade and a lorry load of 'kokoto' to unload. This was a good test which is meant to determine how well a employee is prepared to face the challenges of life in accomplishing the primary objective of the organization.

Mr. Zuma is,in my opinion,the best employee. He will go far,not just at the firm,but also in life.

My take.

@eamathenge;
nisamehee; i din't to copy your comment......Friday morning blues!!

@Fundaah;
Do you work only to impress your employer?

I am currently self-employed,but even when I was in formal employment,I was being paid to do something that I would have willingly done for free; nay,I would have paid for being given the opportunity to do!!!

And even what I do today is something that I would do for free. Thus after completing an assignment,you wont find me chasing clients all over town the following day for the cheque!!

Completion of the job is enough reward for me.....payment is only to foot my personal bills

Is it enough for you,or do you need another kind of motivation?

@ mukiha

well put

There are enough posts about finding happiness in something else ... spouse,employer ... I think being whole inside should be a good start. Make sure whatever you do pleases yourself first. We should emulate what Jesus did in terms of service. Qualities of a good servant include:



We can take on any task
We do not require rewards to be of service
We are indiscriminate on who to serve
Not affected by moods
Take service as a lifestyle

NB. I am not talking about employment here,just advice about taking service as a lifestyle.

King George: 'The highest distinction of man is the service of others'
Jesus: 'The greatest among you is the one who rules like the one who serves' (Luke 22.24)

When we pray in praise to God,he makes a difference in our lives.

@ aemathenge

I passed the first interview.

The second interview,I was given a craw bar,told to remove those mbaos used to support storied buildings. Two floors.

I barely passed that one but I did.

Then there was a third interview&hellip;&hellip;..

In the meantime,I was put on probation which comprised of working 6 days a week,7am-6pm.

My starting salary was 6250 bob

media houses exploit those poor reporters you see being bossed around my dr. alfred mutua. while their bosses like linus gitahi at NMG pocket a cool 2.5m per month excluding bonuses,the poor reporters are exploited and paid peanuts with hefty deductions. i know this guy who works at one of the big media houses but still sleeps on the sofa in his mama's house. that's why some of those celeb chicks in the media can be found in westlands over the weekends doing their thang that involves some funny extra curricular activities!

@jaribu;
You mean Gitahi gets such a tiny salary?

How much does a reporter earn and how much does a reporter deserve?

Is a bad employer the one who pays the smaller salary?
