There is this ship at work
I have never really gotten a catch phrase to describe everything that is going on in my life till I heard the slogan “WE MOVE”. It was a wow moment for me because in every aspect of my life, I have moved on without having to think a lot about what put me down in the first place.
My name is Eric and I am a career-driven, goal chasing, relentless, handsome young man. I am a hard guy(at least to people around me) but in reality, I am a hopeless romantic.I want to love and be loved.
I live in the city of Lagos, Nigeria. On days when I go to work, I leave early in the morning to avoid traffic and I most times leave work late to avoid the rush hour and since nobody is expecting me at home, so, why the rush?. In between all of these, I carry out my company’s task, I try to work on my side gigs also while concurrently cooking up a story on LinkedIn, and Yes, what professional skill should I learn next? Or will a professional certificate exam be better? Oh Yes ! Time to check what skills will be relevant in 2040. Okay, What’s ogbeni Dipo tweeting? What is Hansel’s next post on job opportunities? In short, I follow almost all “Twitter PHd’s”.
So in all of these, how will I find “the one” or almost “the one”? I wish there is an algorithm to automatically match interests, sense, maturity (emotional, spiritual, mental and financial). Oh Eric, stop daydreaming.
But here is the problem — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
I spend most of my Saturdays resting from the week’s work, while planning for the next week. With all of these, you can affirm that I spend the best of my hours at work. That is the only place I forge pseudo relationships, in the heart of it, work brought us together. We can never forget that. Good news is that there is this ship at work. She looks like it but I don’t know. The major problem is that the HR department doesn’t support emotional affairs at work.
I know that Dunsin and Chidinma are currently in an entanglement, they have my kind of personality, the only difference is that they don’t believe in love. So they are just easing in and out on each other(You know, winks).
The question is
1. Should companies relax their positions on emotional affairs among co-workers?
2. Can co-workers go ahead and neglect the company’s position on this? I mean this is love we are talking about. It is stronger than death(winks).
3. Should I just move like I have always moved?
