I feel like the Ghanaian system has reduced the value of the workforce, and this has given us the mindset of "I need to serve before I can be given a better position to occupy."
I don’t mind buying gari or whatever errands it is because I did that at my former place of internship and even after I get my bosses sending me opportunities and even asking me of my future plans because of how I was at the company. I didn’t mind doing that because I know where I am coming from. I won Miss Knust through them because they were all interested in my future. I am forever grateful to them.🙏
In k dramas I see a lot of such scenarios 😂😂 there is nothing wrong with you going to buy something for your self and someone tells you to buy some for them.
They’re too nice tbh😂 Where I did my internship as well as most the people in my cohort group they never sent us when it came to getting food or anything. If anything when we have our monthly breakfast/ potluck the senior program coordinator would go and buy all those things herself and even arrange them for us to come and eat. When we’re done then she’ll still pack it up herself or we’ll offer to help! They have a keirug or whatever they call it in most offices, for coffee so they hardly send interns out for coffee. If anything the issues about interning especially in the states specifically has to do with the fact that they overburden interns with company work that they’re not even supposed to do. The opposite of that may be that, they pay no mind to interns and give them little to no work because they just see them as interns so it becomes hard to develop skills / they become bored. When it comes to sending dierr, I don’t think they do that in the states, it very rare.
In the states they give tips Ghana doesn't. Even the states weather alone is enough. Sending for coffee and stuffs I'm not sure you'll cross any road oo
I loved the way you tackled the entitlement mentality. At every point in time, you’ll do some junky work and as you said you should be willing to serve.... it builds your character.... Sheldon summarised it nicely: know where you are coming from, and what is chasing you, and know where you wanna go to....... wisdom is the right application of knowledge.... Kudos Sheldon and Scanty 🤗🤗🤗
My father owns a 13 bedroom mansion( 1 of his houses). I went to do my internship at my auntie's company, I was 24 then, but I washed her clothes, cleaned her room & house, cooked for her etc..... Because I knew what I wanted from her, I have my own company, and she still calls me to work for her or send clients my way..... I DIDN'T DIE DOING ALL OF THAT FOR HER.... Most of my client/ customer base comes from her.
In this digital age, you can order whatever you wanna eat online.someone went to buy waakye and was met with an accident (a hit an run case) . The internship was upaid and she wasnt a dbee either. Company is refusing to take responsibility and now she has nobody to help her.
Ghana need to accept yes and no thats our problem, my Boss in US 1 day called me to his office and actually told me its ok to say no sometimes. Cos i was always accepting everything he asked me to do at the job . Wen i started turning down some stuffs , its crazy ,i actually got promoted to management. But ghana as soon as u say no or stand up for ur self they will start planning to get rid of u ..smh😢
There are no rewards for heroes. If you make yourself too reliable, people will just misuse you. Cuz i don't mind being sent but then when i see that you're offering me no value in return that's when i have issues. Went to a company as a worker o, IT guy. Sekof the way i was eventually these people had me moping floors. Meanwhile they had cleaners. So charley that culture de3 Ghana we for shun.
I did all my internship and national service in Government sectors. One thing I can say is… make yourself valuable and people won't send you anyhow. Just be valuable
I currently have three people as interns at my department and so far I haven't sent any but my colleagues are sending them to buy their food almost all the time. I don't really understand why people really feel comfortable sending people to always buy food for them. It's stupid to me.
In Ghanaian culture, it is sometimes expected that you say "Yes, sir" or "Master" and show excessive deference to gain favor or opportunities. This can be quite demeaning. It's one of the reasons why some people in positions of power, whether at work or as bosses and lecturers, behave as if they hold absolute authority over others like gods. This is why our country is where we are. In Kwadwo Sheldon's Bristish voice, "You can't do this in the UK or a civilized country."
I'm guessing you live in Ghana that shithole. That's where this bullshit is accepted. My manager can't even send me to go his breakfast /lunch let alone a co worker
There is a lot of balanced sense in what Kwadwo Sheldon is talking about. There is truly a balance. My internship days, I used to buy gob3 for my Medical officer. I wasn't doing for everyone and I used to get sent a lot by a lot of house officers. Fast forward, I've become good friends with most of them. The medical officer helped my brother access her husband who is a lecturer. I always get pro-bono consultation services and a cut in the line. She always invited me to follow her to medical conferences and programs she went to. Programs I would on any ordinary day know they existed. Along with the other medical officers I helped. For me buying for them was intentional for me. It sucked sometimes but as long as they didn't disrespect me or look down on me, and they just wanted me to buy for them, that is how I would network and be remembered for. Mandane, but it worked. LOL. At the end of the day, do what works for you shaaaa.
Nice one there. I'm glad you said " as long as they didn't disrespect or look down on u" cos most of those pple do that. They look down on u and disrespect you as well. That shouldn't be tolerated
I second kojo😊 my mum would say it will take nothing from you when you serve.. this said girl seems to have life on a silver platter... So if u know where you coming from u won't listen to her
She needs a bit of humility IMO. I am not from Ghana but spend enough time there to know that these people she is refusing so profusely, will very likely one day be the same people she will run into at various stages of her career and may need as a resource. Those types of menial tasks should not be expected of interns all the time, but are unfortunately par for the course anywhere... here in the States as well. Watch the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada" for a crash course.
Level 200 student, what work do you know that you are coming to work for free? what work are you coming to do in the first place? I was an employee and still was running errands for my bosses. As I speak I am a department head but those ahead of me still send me. As an intern, you are there to learn. You need to serve people for them to share their knowledge with you.
I don't know which program of study you are relating to but I did internships since lvl 100 as a Quantity surveying student. I still was able to do arithmetic checks on payment invoices. That didn't require a lot of technical knowledge but at least they could make use of my numeracy skills. Fortunately, there was an NSS guy who was assigned to take us through the basics and my boss was ever willing to check your work and provide feedback. I went back there every year till I finished school! Fast forward to NSS, I was managing costs on construction projects with little to no supervision but I still did lunch errands which I had no qualms about because my bosses were good to me. One of them recommended me for my first major job after NSS and I have excelled professionally since then
@@jonathaneli Dont worry bro... My comments are not meant for shallow minded Gen Zs. At every level in a persons life, you have to serve. It is call "servant leadership". Some of our universities are running that program. Check it out from Pentecost University, GIMPA and the others At my level I dont serve because I need favor from anyone. ..... Those I serve has nothing, absolutely nothing to offer me. If the Gen Zs call serving Slavery; I wonder what they will call Bribe.
I don't understand the noise here. I have about 4 interns, i send them sometimes to get coffee and lunch for the team including myself if I am too busy. The problem is if it's just a consistent request every day and every minute then I agree with her. The other problem is if the interns are not learning anything and just being a servant, then it is not an ideal environment. There is more to this story than what KS perceived it to be, perhaps she has not given a full context of what really happened to her so that we can properly judge the situation. But Ghanian leadership and the abusive behaviors of its staff will not surprise me at all. Especially those who do not have boundaries from what is healthy tasks and duties at the job vs exploitation and abuse just because "i be oga".
Some people are spoiled. In the states, sometimes, as a young intern, they send u to go buy food, coffee nd donuts. U just shut up nd do it till a door opens up for u. Its part of the game
I think serving is not a problem but u have to serve the right person. One who is able to use power and not power using him/her. Thats the most toxic in serving.
Sometimes, during my internship at a tech startup, I found myself in a situation where I ended up assisting the company more than I expected. They had limited knowledge about coding or programming, yet they assigned tasks like "build a company website in 10 days." The most surprising part was that I was initially expected to code everything from scratch, but I had to educate them about the process. Even after I completed the website, they wanted it to go live without investing any money, so I had to send them the zipped files. I recently learned that the company has ceased operations due to a lack of available human resources, as they were not compensating their staff.
how come and tech company doesn't know shit about programming? who is the founder of the company and on what basis did he start the business if he doesn't have the knowledge and not ready to recruit people with the required skills?
@@kelvinadu3885 That's a great question, but I couldn't find an answer myself. While I'd like to mention his name, I'm hesitant as it might lead to unexpected complications. In short, he seems to have the ambition to own a tech company and employ others, but the details remain unclear.
She is speaking as if she's the best option for the company and therefore should be treated like gold. Moreover, is easy to behave like this when you have a backup to fall to. In life you have to know when to put pride aside and bide your time.
I agree with you Sheldon but you also have to understand where she is coming from. I would like to debate you on this because I have a unique perspective. People tend to think gen z are entitled and yes some of them are but they also understand that the back breaking work that used to earn you rewards are designed to take advantage of you in todays modern world.
During my internship as a nurse, if you were going to get a particular food and other senior staff or even colleagues wanted some, it made sense to get it for them too because of staff strength so that there were always more staff on the wards than not. However, I had very excellent nurse in charges who did not allow doctors and any other non nursing staff to send us. So it wasn't like we were delegated to run errands. In fact even the nursing staff couldn't send us outside of the hospital or even very far away from the wards except if someone was driving. I get her but like was said in the video just choose your battles. Know who, when and where if you must run an errand.
One of my sister's friend did her internship in another region very well. When she was done,the boss over there recommended her to their Accra branch since she stays in Accra. She didn't even have to go around looking for job after internship. The waakye buyers dierr another story 😅but do what you gotta do right
This is fact bro. I intern at Thinktech Digital in Kasoa. I wasn't bullied around like that but I was willing to serve. Though there were other means of service I did, i earn a fair amount of money that covered my transport fare and more every month. And to top it all , my immediate Boss fought for me to stay and work even before I was ready to go back to school. And i still work there so chale. SERVICE OOO
Only in Ghana wey somebody go fi defend this nonsense. Adɛn oo go buy waakye for me. Sia!! Abe ur jnr bro? The jhs and shs I'm your senior you're my jnr mentality norr. Gyimii 😂😂
Sheldon ebi scam. My girl has done it saa it didn't help her. As an intern and also services personnel and in the long run, it didn't make her work at the place. They choose some other people that they didn't even interview kuraa. She served her madam saaa through out
These days internship koraa unless connection. I remember my first internship the compulsory one you do whilst you are in school I had to go round with a letter as if I was looking for a paid job. They just take the letter and you don't hear from them. For the waakye part de3 masa it's inevitable even that one that's when through some connections you have been accepted to do your internship in the company. Unless your mum or dad owns the company forget you go buy waakye. You are not lucky koraa you won't learn anything valuable.
Serving the people ahead of you is called working smart, all the people at the top once served people & are still serving people one way or the other, service to humanity at any level actually opens doors & makes the journey to the top smoother, there's no human that will not serve. For example, the people in government are serving us the citizens, even as parents, we serve our families by providing for them, you just have to know the difference from been used.
During my internship we had people who the staffs send (cleaners and security) but they use to send me on the regular because I never complained about it, I learnt everything at my company within the first 2 weeks because the lady who was training me was very serious when it comes to work but she’s really friendly and my favorite person. Im not from a bad home, my uncle was the HR but no one knew but they were all friendly and good, sometimes some staffs offer their cars but I tell them no and I walk. With all this I had fun and learnt a lot the lady who trained me told me she will recommend me for national service (she didn’t know I had someone at the top) I smiled and thanked her. So with what I’m saying sometimes some staffs will take advantage of you but always be respectful and hardworking and do what you’ve been assigned to, imagine if I had no one there it will be easier to do my national service there. Even when I finished my internship I go Ghs1,000 as gift from the staffs that was in 2015 (spent it all on food😂)
Agreed with Scanty,the argument is about waakye. I can relate with the girl,I come from nowhere but when I was doing internship with ministry of justice,we use to rotate from one section of the department to another,when I went to the budget unit because is been down in Sept,as at July they don't have much work to do,and they would just send you to buy them credit card or phone card,one day I just carried my bag and left to the account section where we were treated as young professionals who are there to learn.Is about choice
I did internship and after the 3mths period I was made the interim head of IT when their IT officer was transferred. I learnt a lot and was getting contract whiles schools.
If the company sacks you for standing up for yourself, it’s the company’s loss. It is abuse of power to constantly send interns on non-work-related-errands, at that point it is a HR issue
Leadership skills to start and a desire learn all she can to better the industry. So missing out on vital lessons due to being sent on non-intern-related errands would hinder the purpose of the internship
There is also another angle y’all missed: she could have arranged for all those chefs to come inside the company to sell their delicacies everyday and possibly get a cut of the profits
A young man came to do national service at my workplace. My colleagues do send him sometimes. He got employed, he still does errands for them. Funnily he works directly under me and I actually don't send him. Some of our workers are just lazy and make sending a habit. I will only send you when I am very pressed. Me sef I hardly eat launch at the office. In any case, you might be lucky to get a blessing from serving. As a beginner, you got to serve to earn, simple. Your pompous attitude will absolutely get you nowhere. Raise your shoulders and be kicked off the slate 😂
sending once a while no bad just that most Ghanaian workers are lazy espiecially those at the top within the government sector .They are lazy rough .Sometimes u have to say no espiecially if u have work related tasks to complete .Know how to carry yourself and they won't send u up and down like that.Some of my friends were been sent up and down yet no added value biaaa
I blame the system we have in Ghana .In wise countries like Europe and america where they sometimes beg people to come and work .Because of the good systems they have ,once you report such action the company will be in hot waters.Sheldon what you dey talk about,travel and see.Ghana dont have good systems in place,and We all have to sacrifice one way or the other.Also i support the fact that at atleast it should not be on a daily basis but Ghanaians dey over do am tooo much we go over board.I can tell you for a fact some go and pound fufu,some also go and cook,fetch water for bosses them ma house ,If you have big ass and beautiful you are dead you will be a sex slave bro ebi too much.Bro go and come again.
Kwadjo Mr Big head. This one de3 I no dey gree plus you. But in that comedy country, they have normalized it so it had become normal. This thing only happens in Ghana.
Chairman at some point I agree with the shodii. My sis ein frnd be nurse .she go do internship for a certain hospital in C/R wey she come talk sey as she go there she no learn anything bia useful. Every day pple there go send her to buy food for them.
I don't agree with the sending part but I am wondering why an intern is overstating her value. It is a learning opportunity so you don't get to make it sound like a professional offering free services
Forget rich background saf, i was sent multiple times, picked up my bosses kids, dropped them off, picked up her husband picked up food for her, took her dresses to the seamstress etc. Point is Good name is better than riches, when you finish they have nothing bad to say about you. You can lose your "good name" by holding yourself too high in such situations.
These Gen-Z people think so highly of themselves.... u are thr to serve and they watching u. Remember u need their help to get experience, and they can help u with connections and recommendations.
@kingsleykekeli1587 so if someone comes to wrk in ur company and is disobedient, disrespectful and don't obey instructions will u still employ him/her? Before u judge put urslf in people's shoes before u judge. Humility takes u far not arrogance.
the sending is there, some will even dash you money after.....😂😂😂.this world is about giving and receiving and its also basic to serve in order to get to the top......but sometimes you for use your head
My lecturer at the university was stressing me for my computer science project. One day he told me to buy him one voltic bottle water and groundnut i bought it with my own money and he made me complete my project. Sometimes they do this to test your patience and how you are.
Sometimes errr you'll just have to humble yourself to get there its not always about being pompous and I mean,if she wont go fineee🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️other will go,I know some people can send tooooo Much but 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I don't know for other technical universities but internship is compulsory in Koforidua technical university, i also served during my time but it was not in vain, i got tips and when i left i got 4 clothes[ 6yards], some provisions and some cash. i'm still in contact with my superiors and they help me till date.
I feel like the Ghanaian system has reduced the value of the workforce, and this has given us the mindset of "I need to serve before I can be given a better position to occupy."
Don't serve and see. You'll remain at the bottom. All those you see at the top, served A LOTTT

@@kelvinadu3885 That's a great question, but I couldn't find an answer myself. While I'd like to mention his name, I'm hesitant as it might lead to unexpected complications. In short, he seems to have the ambition to own a tech company and employ others, but the details remain unclear.
Gen Zs do things without thinking ooo...now that u recordes this on tiktok now u will bring your CV to which company to now employ you
Kwadwo Sheldon’s take is spot on 💯
She is speaking as if she's the best option for the company and therefore should be treated like gold. Moreover, is easy to behave like this when you have a backup to fall to. In life you have to know when to put pride aside and bide your time.
@blayman5413 Of course, I will not be happy, but I'm still gonna go regardless.
Thank you 👍
I agree with you Sheldon but you also have to understand where she is coming from. I would like to debate you on this because I have a unique perspective. People tend to think gen z are entitled and yes some of them are but they also understand that the back breaking work that used to earn you rewards are designed to take advantage of you in todays modern world.
Follow every advice on the internet at your own peril😂😂😂
During my internship as a nurse, if you were going to get a particular food and other senior staff or even colleagues wanted some, it made sense to get it for them too because of staff strength so that there were always more staff on the wards than not. However, I had very excellent nurse in charges who did not allow doctors and any other non nursing staff to send us. So it wasn't like we were delegated to run errands. In fact even the nursing staff couldn't send us outside of the hospital or even very far away from the wards except if someone was driving. I get her but like was said in the video just choose your battles. Know who, when and where if you must run an errand.
One of my sister's friend did her internship in another region very well. When she was done,the boss over there recommended her to their Accra branch since she stays in Accra. She didn't even have to go around looking for job after internship. The waakye buyers dierr another story 😅but do what you gotta do right
This is fact bro. I intern at Thinktech Digital in Kasoa. I wasn't bullied around like that but I was willing to serve. Though there were other means of service I did, i earn a fair amount of money that covered my transport fare and more every month. And to top it all , my immediate Boss fought for me to stay and work even before I was ready to go back to school. And i still work there so chale. SERVICE OOO
Only in Ghana wey somebody go fi defend this nonsense. Adɛn oo go buy waakye for me. Sia!! Abe ur jnr bro? The jhs and shs I'm your senior you're my jnr mentality norr. Gyimii 😂😂
Looks like someone is still a baby 😂🤣🤣🤣
@@Ditch_9 😂😂
Sheldon ebi scam. My girl has done it saa it didn't help her. As an intern and also services personnel and in the long run, it didn't make her work at the place. They choose some other people that they didn't even interview kuraa. She served her madam saaa through out
These days internship koraa unless connection. I remember my first internship the compulsory one you do whilst you are in school I had to go round with a letter as if I was looking for a paid job. They just take the letter and you don't hear from them. For the waakye part de3 masa it's inevitable even that one that's when through some connections you have been accepted to do your internship in the company. Unless your mum or dad owns the company forget you go buy waakye. You are not lucky koraa you won't learn anything valuable.
KS sounds like he has suffered as a intern therefore those that follow behind must as well
Choose your own path and stay on it 🤝
I see what mean🫡
Yes exactly 💯
Sheldon you spoke like a true interpreneur! You are very correct!
Thank you KS serve and get what you want. This generation don't like serving ohh. Serve and get the best from the people around and for yourself
Serving the people ahead of you is called working smart, all the people at the top once served people & are still serving people one way or the other, service to humanity at any level actually opens doors & makes the journey to the top smoother, there's no human that will not serve. For example, the people in government are serving us the citizens, even as parents, we serve our families by providing for them, you just have to know the difference from been used.
During my internship we had people who the staffs send (cleaners and security) but they use to send me on the regular because I never complained about it, I learnt everything at my company within the first 2 weeks because the lady who was training me was very serious when it comes to work but she’s really friendly and my favorite person. Im not from a bad home, my uncle was the HR but no one knew but they were all friendly and good, sometimes some staffs offer their cars but I tell them no and I walk. With all this I had fun and learnt a lot the lady who trained me told me she will recommend me for national service (she didn’t know I had someone at the top) I smiled and thanked her. So with what I’m saying sometimes some staffs will take advantage of you but always be respectful and hardworking and do what you’ve been assigned to, imagine if I had no one there it will be easier to do my national service there. Even when I finished my internship I go Ghs1,000 as gift from the staffs that was in 2015 (spent it all on food😂)
the way sheldon make emotional..u fit see say E dey send the interns waa😂😂
When you two have a back and forth like this I love it ..❤❤
Agreed with Scanty,the argument is about waakye. I can relate with the girl,I come from nowhere but when I was doing internship with ministry of justice,we use to rotate from one section of the department to another,when I went to the budget unit because is been down in Sept,as at July they don't have much work to do,and they would just send you to buy them credit card or phone card,one day I just carried my bag and left to the account section where we were treated as young professionals who are there to learn.Is about choice
Humble yourself in the eye man n God
If the sending is plenty and the learning is plenty, I will go.
😂😂😂😂
Sheldon and scanty are the best combo
I just keep coming back to watch this video, I can boldly say that you will not regret serving.
10:54 Herh Sheldon be the coolest boss I’ve ever seen chale.. He den Scanty dey move like dem no geh levels & I love that 💯🎊
You have to be humble you need to show respect to them because they can even help you get a permanent position stay humble and you will go far
The number of times doesn't matter Sheldon. We go to work to do our job description. Ibi only in Ghana that this can happen
Vim
I did internship and after the 3mths period I was made the interim head of IT when their IT officer was transferred. I learnt a lot and was getting contract whiles schools.
Scanty “you go turn glovo for the company”😂😂😭😭
Much much love Kwadwo Sheldon ❤❤❤ Owienfo ba ber gyen ni ho.
Sheldon wait o, who's Kwabota ???😂😂😂
charlie Sheldon, you spoil der.............spot on
At least, once a while is Ok, but not every day
The last part really got me😂😂😂
Scanty said if dem send you and your service be perfect...😂😂😂
She’s 1000000% right. I am with her
Yooooi😅, abi the HR wey take you come go train you 😂
Says the dbee lol😂
@@slimfbiggyansah4295Ahahahaaaaa 😂😂😂
That Vincent Kompany bar😂 is dope
When doing your internship or service... how you present yourself will determine how they treat you.
First impression always matters
Nothing wrong buying food for your supervisors or people ahead of you. One day it will pave the way for you
funniest moment "when Sheldon removed his cap"😅🤣🤣
The girl no know what she dey talk....
Like black sheriff said in his song ""yes sir master no dey spoil job""
I go for coffee runs all the time and it’s equal to waakye here in my eyes 👀
If the company sacks you for standing up for yourself, it’s the company’s loss. It is abuse of power to constantly send interns on non-work-related-errands, at that point it is a HR issue
what experience does she have to offer the company in the first place. ?
Leadership skills to start and a desire learn all she can to better the industry. So missing out on vital lessons due to being sent on non-intern-related errands would hinder the purpose of the internship
Adey barb you but facts be say the company no dey loose anything 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@phiiphiswitche dey shock me self 😂😂😂😂 what experience?
@David_since96 the will lose something cause while she is with the company, she will complete some tasks.
in her absence someone have to do it
Kwadwo Sheldon is getting the whole narrate wrong but I can understand, this matter of serve before you gain only works in Ghana and Africa.
European the respect that and there not sending people like that
There is also another angle y’all missed: she could have arranged for all those chefs to come inside the company to sell their delicacies everyday and possibly get a cut of the profits
Ei they should come? Wow😂😂
@@smartphonetactics5426I mean, it would take a hellova move but not necessarily impossible
if your protocol or links check like tea spoon aa, mmh go buy give 'em 🤣
The Kompany bar though 🤗
A young man came to do national service at my workplace. My colleagues do send him sometimes. He got employed, he still does errands for them. Funnily he works directly under me and I actually don't send him. Some of our workers are just lazy and make sending a habit. I will only send you when I am very pressed. Me sef I hardly eat launch at the office. In any case, you might be lucky to get a blessing from serving. As a beginner, you got to serve to earn, simple. Your pompous attitude will absolutely get you nowhere. Raise your shoulders and be kicked off the slate 😂
sending once a while no bad just that most Ghanaian workers are lazy espiecially those at the top within the government sector .They are lazy rough .Sometimes u have to say no espiecially if u have work related tasks to complete .Know how to carry yourself and they won't send u up and down like that.Some of my friends were been sent up and down yet no added value biaaa
I blame the system we have in Ghana .In wise countries like Europe and america where they sometimes beg people to come and work .Because of the good systems they have ,once you report such action the company will be in hot waters.Sheldon what you dey talk about,travel and see.Ghana dont have good systems in place,and We all have to sacrifice one way or the other.Also i support the fact that at atleast it should not be on a daily basis but Ghanaians dey over do am tooo much we go over board.I can tell you for a fact some go and pound fufu,some also go and cook,fetch water for bosses them ma house ,If you have big ass and beautiful you are dead you will be a sex slave bro ebi too much.Bro go and come again.
that's the issue with the country ooo
Kwadjo Mr Big head. This one de3 I no dey gree plus you. But in that comedy country, they have normalized it so it had become normal. This thing only happens in Ghana.
Exactly
Chairman at some point I agree with the shodii. My sis ein frnd be nurse .she go do internship for a certain hospital in C/R wey she come talk sey as she go there she no learn anything bia useful. Every day pple there go send her to buy food for them.
I don't agree with the sending part but I am wondering why an intern is overstating her value. It is a learning opportunity so you don't get to make it sound like a professional offering free services
yes sir master no dey spoil work
Mark 10: 45 _ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
My whole internship I was never sent. It’s only nice to go on errands for your in charges in the pharmacy I worked as an intern.
Forget rich background saf, i was sent multiple times, picked up my bosses kids, dropped them off, picked up her husband picked up food for her, took her dresses to the seamstress etc. Point is Good name is better than riches, when you finish they have nothing bad to say about you. You can lose your "good name" by holding yourself too high in such situations.
It’s very true
Before you can lead, you must first learn to serve.
I believe and supported u 💯 Kwadwo
Chale, them make I buy bread 🍞 and groundnut paste saaa....
They no dey serve employees in U.S.A. God bless America. Some habits must stop
These Gen-Z people think so highly of themselves.... u are thr to serve and they watching u. Remember u need their help to get experience, and they can help u with connections and recommendations.
masa u are lazy this African mentality must change
@kingsleykekeli1587 so if someone comes to wrk in ur company and is disobedient, disrespectful and don't obey instructions will u still employ him/her? Before u judge put urslf in people's shoes before u judge. Humility takes u far not arrogance.
the sending is there, some will even dash you money after.....😂😂😂.this world is about giving and receiving and its also basic to serve in order to get to the top......but sometimes you for use your head
My lecturer at the university was stressing me for my computer science project. One day he told me to buy him one voltic bottle water and groundnut i bought it with my own money and he made me complete my project. Sometimes they do this to test your patience and how you are.
Choose your battles…the way up is down
Sometimes errr you'll just have to humble yourself to get there its not always about being pompous and I mean,if she wont go fineee🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️other will go,I know some people can send tooooo Much but 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I don't know for other technical universities but internship is compulsory in Koforidua technical university, i also served during my time but it was not in vain, i got tips and when i left i got 4 clothes[ 6yards], some provisions and some cash. i'm still in contact with my superiors and they help me till date.
Sheldon is right when you are underground you've to serve
all i heard is that Vicent Kompany’s bar🔥
If she is interning in the UK/US she would be making tea/coffee.
Wow
What an episode 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
Scanty is hella fuuny 😂😂😂😂
But Sheldon how many companies in ghana here that will go by what you say,kwadwo they won’t add any value than waakye
