This country is so badly run that even if you are a sworn supporter of the APC you have to sometimes take a step back and worry about where our country is headed. How can a country where the vast majority are in poverty spend so much on SUVs. This shit is satanic

There’s a certain hatred, purely fueled by jealousy and malice, that you have for peers you perceive have achieved more than you which you think they don’t deserve. She does not owe you any explanation and her success shouldn’t be assumed to be without merit because of you.
Yesterday, I came across one of my female friends from the University of Nairobi (UoN) Law School. She is an Associate at a prestigious law firm in Kenya’s Wall Street. I asked her how she managed to rise to the top. Overcoming the tribal structures in big law firms and going against the belief that young advocates can’t secure positions there.
Her answer was interesting. She told me that it is more than just performance. For example, she was not at the top of her class. The best mark she scored in the CLE exams was a 62. She didn’t tell me what exactly helped her get the position. And surely it is not tribal connections, since she is a Luo in a firm dominated by Kikuyus. She still hasn’t given me a clear answer. It can’t even be performance, because she can’t confidently express herself.
Not being able to take initiative is definitely an ick.

My own is that we need to stop shaming women for things like this. We lack secular third spaces in most of our cities, so social media plays a huge part in how we will meet and interact with people we date. A woman taking a chance to meet someone who's expressed interest in her isn't the problem. Put the blame where it belongs, on the man who caused harm.
There are two ways to increase profitability- by increasing revenue or reducing cost. People in cost centre actually help manage/reduce cost, which ultimately goes to the bottom line.
Just be good at what you do.
Best advice I give now to mid-career folks is:
try to work in a profit center rather than a cost center. Every role in a company is either one or skews more to one center and AI is eating up cost centers at the moment
Cost center = doesn’t directly make the company money, needs more hands to scale. Software engineer, product designer, customer support, project manager, product owner, community manager, technical writer, HR etc
Profit center = Solution engineer, FDE, account manager, marketing associate/manager, technical business development, growth marketer, tech product manager etc
One solution to being in a cost center is to draw a clean line from what you do to revenue. However difficult it is. Even if your manager doesn’t care, don’t worry, they’ll get fired before you.
