WHAT YOUR BOSS IS NOT TELLING YOU

Millions of people wake up every day heading to work in different parts of the world. Majority of these people depend on their salaries all their life. Everything they do surrounds their daily, weekly or monthly paycheck. If the paycheck stops, their lives become miserable.

Let’s answer some questions;

• What will happen if you got sick and you are unable to work again for a period of time?

Your paycheck will stop, the daily or weekly or monthly salary will stop flowing in, but the bills won’t stop demanding. Your trusted boss will not wait till you get well if you are diagnosed with a long term disease. He will have a meeting with the human resource manager to discuss how to replace you. You will be at home, weak and unable to feed your family while your role at the company is given to someone else. Your boss needs you only for the time you are young and strong to do the work. That is the reason people have to retire at a certain age.

• What will happen if the company you are working for collapses?

We have all seen or heard of big companies collapsing and it’s not something new in the vocabulary. When this happens, the employees pack and go home-back to the roots. The paycheck will definitely stop. This happened a lot in 2020-the year of corona virus like I noted in my previous article,

• What will happen if you are fired or your contract is terminated?

Your paycheck will stop immediately. If you had no savings, you will start from the scratch. If you had savings, it all depends on how you will use them. A lot of people leave job every year with some savings from company Sacco’s, retirement plans etc. and majority misuse the money. It’s sad because it will take the shortest time possible. No one will pick you calls or reply your messages, even the people you called friends and family when you had the money. You will be feared like a plague, no one will want to be associated with you. This is normal in the world that we’re living in.

• What should you do when you read the above content?

It’s not easy but it’s simple, leverage your time. They say time is money, and yes it is indeed. You work for your boss for 8 hours in a day and you are left with a whopping 16 hours for a day. Do something constructive to your life. Majority of workers watch TV, go to the gym, or shopping after the 8 hours in their boss’s territory. Plan you time well and focus on climbing the ladder for long lasting financial freedom. This is because when you are working for your boss, you are trading your time. Make yourself rich instead.
