Employee Of The Month Nomination: Fill & Download for Free

A2AOne of the managers in my office thanked me.I’m in one of the higher departments of my company and we recently enlisted help from someone of another department for some small duties that we didn’t have time to complete.He’s been so so helpful and kind no matter how much we trouble him and so last month I nominated him, on behalf of my team, for Employee of the Month.Today that manager said that he had been selected and was really glad that we had thought of him even though we ourselves are not included in Employee of the Month.I’m really glad he was chosen. He’s really nice and definitely deserves it.

The answer has to do with the culture of Rwandans and their leadership.See this hardworking gardener ( photo below) taking care of the garden in the middle of the streets. This lady is probably an employee of one of the many private cleaning companies that the city of Kigali use to keep the city clean.How many people will litter the streets when they see the hard work that these ladies do? Not very many. In the end, you see the work that people do and you do your best to keep the city clean. Less money for cleaning can be translated into lower taxes. Nobody knows how it works, but it works.In the background, you see another lady sweeping the roads. These ladies do a really good job. They start early in the morning, sweeping, and cleaning our roads. The main factors that make Rwanda a clean country are the following.Culture. Rwandans do not eat in the streets. The fast food culture is virtually non-existent. If you want to eat, people will go and seat in restaurants to finish their meals. It is very rare to see Rwandans walking and eating. It is part of our culture. We respect the way we consume our food.Banned plastic bags. This is an old story. Plastic bags are banned in Rwanda. They used to cause lots of trouble, but it’s been over a decade without plastic bags in Rwanda. We use biodegradable paper bags instead.Initiative. If you are downtown Kigali, or other areas on the main streets, you will see trash bins where people throw their trash. Things such as gums, coffee cups, water bottles are collected that way.Privatize cleaning companies. The city of Kigali has contracted lots of companies to do the cleaning. This goes from lower-income and middle-income as well as upper-income neighborhoods. These companies have done a good job to collecting waste to deposit in landfills.Awareness about keeping the environment clean and healthy. The monthly community service has made people aware of the importance of cleaning their neighborhoods and areas. With Umuganda, many Rwandans do not litter as much. This goes beyond cleaning, they talk about air quality and environment as well. Planting trees, etc.Rule of Law. I have been to a few countries where people would burn trash for themselves to deal with waste. You will never see this in Kigali. Citizens will come to your house with complaints and next thing, your local officials will punish you according to the law. Rwandans take these matters very seriously.Pride. Kigali has been nominated as the cleanest and most environmentally friendly city over 5 years in a row. The Kigalians do not want to lose this title, so they work hard to keep it. Nobody wants to lose to Mauritius and Seychelles.There is more one could add, but the following tweet summarizes the rest.Hope this answers your question, User-11028412969258618598.#Kigali, #Rwanda is one of the cleanest cities I have seen anywhere on Earth. Only #Geneva, #Switzerland comes close. Perhaps the mayor could send a tech mission to #NYC and #WashingtonDC as a form of South-North Cooperation... pic.twitter.com/2yshSWSENc— Adam Rogers 🌍🌏 #SDGs, #Travel, #UnitedNations (@AdamRogers2030) January 7, 2018

I got a call from HR today in the morning. I am in my hometown right town, far away from my job location.It was a video call where I could see my manager and product owner with HR, who was ready to give me a shock.Many people might be thinking that I lost my job because of the pandemic, but there is a big catch into this.Maybe I am an introvert, but those who know me are clearly aware of the fact that I always take a stand for what I believe in.Like every IT company, we also have CTO. He is a complete womaniser, and my fault was that I never butter him up.On August 15, my team was asked to join the office again, and we all denied this proposal on CTO's face.“Sir, last year when I had Dengue, no one came to see me. I was all alone in my room, and this time if I go through all this again, then who will help me? Last time, it was easy to order food, but this time I can't even do that. I stay alone. It's not possible for me at this moment.”He allowed us to buy some more time. But he didn't forget the refusal.Today, they gave the reason for firing me is my poor performance.Bullshit.No I am not overconfident, but after working my ass off for 4 years, I know my worth.1st Company - 1 year 2 months - 5 times Employee of the month, 1 time Employee of the quarter2nd Company - 6 months - Earned incentive of Rs. 35000/-3rd Company - 9 months - Employee of the month, given the best Tag for Social Cause AwardNow talking about my current company, they give you an award based on your tenure and not on your capabilities.I remember when I was nominated from the Content Team for the award, they rejected me. They felt Abhishek (Multimedia Team) should get this award because last time Sajid (Multimedia Team) won the award so that it won't look bad.Even I have been fired, but I am proud of myself that I never butter him up or let him take my advantage in any way.I am happy because I know something big is waiting for me. I am not going to stop here.Whenever someone has tried to raise a voice, their voice is crushed under helplessness.PS: I have been also threatened that if I try to raise my voice, they will give negative remarks in my experience certificate and my whole career will be over.
