It has been a bit crazy around here for the past three or four days.
Just like the rains have decided to make it a point to fall every day, so also it seems another kind of rain has decided to fall every other day at work. This time though, only in my office.
In the past two weeks, there has been two resignations and both in a department of just four. A key department to boot.
Now, not that resignation is a bad idea or a bad thing. What is bad is that the organization has driven people to take drastic actions. Action they might actually not have taken if the management was listening.
But, even now am not sure the management is listening or ready to listen. So, I foresee more rains to come. You know what I mean by that, right? In other news, the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency has decided to be a real pain in the arse.
This is becoming too much. More outdoor businesses will fold under this pressure. The strain is too much. And the seams seem to be coming off at the edges. It is only a matter of time before the whole thing bursts in everyone's faces.
Just yesterday, the regulatory body asked us to remove two more spectacular boards along the ever busy Apapa-Oshodi expressway. Now, how can a responsible government desirous of economic empowerment and development ask corporate organizations to remove their assets without giving ample window of relocation or any form of compensation? To add salt to the injury, an ultimatum was issued for the removal of the boards failure upon which the affected boards will be forcefully removed and the defaulting firm fined #750,000.
Needless to say these are million naira investments; plus there are clients with campaigns running on these sites. Unfortunately, my major clients are resident on the two structures. Now, I have to placate my Nestle, Seven Up and SBC Johnson contacts.
Naturally, it is one of those days when I want to just throw up my hands and say "Fuck IT".
