TEMPTED TO TOUCH...all but one

Please accept my sincerest apology for the break in flow... I owe you and as the Lanisters would say, "A lanister always pay his debt" I will also pay you what I owe. The break was to enable me set in motion a veritable journey which will arrive destination very soon. Rest assured when it happens, you would be first to know.

 

Many have reached me requesting for a completion of the TELEPHONE HEADLOCK saga. I promise that would be laid to rest in no time.

 



Meanwhile, Jude is in a tight corner and he needs our advice. He just got a real employment after six years doing active menial jobs...now he has got something to call a job, a job in his field of study. He qualifies as an Industrial Maintenance Engr. and he has gathered a lot of experience in the past six years of field work. The job requires him servicing heavy duty machines, replacing damaged parts, procuring newer versions of some of them and giving management detailed report of the status of the machines. Enthusiastically, he goes about his job daily until one day when one of his colleagues told him he is being too plain to management. "How do you mean too plain?” Jude asked.

 
"You no wake up"...Kris told him. If you continue like this, you no go fit buy car in five years, you think say na my salary I take dey survive for this company?" In confusion, Jude says “Oga Kris, just come out straight, I don't understand you”

I took a look at it truly and It dawned on me how these guys whom we all got recruited same day have rapidly moved ahead of me. Their wealth just keeps increasing while I seem okay with my simple, stable salary- earning growth...it all made sense to me now. They had been boycotting company jobs, inflating prices, destroying appropriate records and now stealing gadgets from the office...

This sure explains the sudden acquisition of cars and the urge to go shopping abroad, lands they bought and one of them has even started to build...they are even importing ladies too service them from other states… I got a clear picture. They have been ripping off the company. I became really tempted to join them. It looked really harmless, after all they have made it thus far and no one has coughed… but why shouldn’t I, I asked myself... Please what should I do? My colleagues are diverting company jobs and even stealing its equipment's to enrich them, and sincerely, I have more chances than them if I venture into this…

What should I do? I just can't seat back and watch things go on like this...i either join or join…or either join or make management know… please advise me, what are my chances?

 

People, how should we really handle this situation? considering the possible consequences of his decision.

Over to you…
