I was one of those people who believed that as coleagues, we should be friends/family, I couldnt understand whenever people would do me dirty. Experience has taught me that we dont have to be friends, lets do the work and make the company shine baby!
Speaking of contributions in work places, i remember i was an intern somewhere and i was only given 250k allowance of which it could sometimes come late like a month later. Now they used to celebrate birthdays and we all had to collect money to celebrate someone's birthday about 20k or 30k each and a month we could have 3 or 4 birthdays. I said to myself I'm never going to contribute to anyone's birthday era my work was to give the vibe and start the birthday song when they bring the cake😂😂😂😂. And when mine reached , i asked for a leave. The same thing for end of year gift exchange parties. We are colleagues not friends
I love love love watching you ladies ❤❤❤my love from Kenya 🎉. I think you had a brilliant topic it is extensive and requires time....this was really good. I appreciated the section on leadership, I think that was brilliantly handled. Keep up what you're doing....you are relevant, you are well spoken, you are addressing very real issues ❤❤❤
Best to keep it professional. No office Romance, Separate your personal life from your office life. Don't back bite people or contribute to such conversations. It could be a set up, and to make matters worse, you don't know who is related to who. Be cordial, Be courteous. That's enough 😂
Love Claire's energy and boldness on how she handles workplace relationships with employees, lol! At the same time, do you think employees roll their eyes when we ask them to do something because they haven't been taught how to communicate effectively? Someone who knows how to communicate their needs will be a lot less resentful.
Not always. I have no children, but I will not lie, I see mothers are more grounded in reality, prioritization of time, what they do and say - and not to say women like me are not, but one is more grounded in reality than the other. The Kamala comparison might not be the best, but a mom in politics, in my opinion, benefits the normal person a lot more than the other in a couple of ways - one is more idealistic and focussed on the big picture (climate, human rights, global peace, etc.), the other is more realistic on what should be actioned or grounded or humble, as it directly impacts their family (jobs, affordable housing, sustainable healthcare & education, etc.). If we can't take away the fact that men are more responsible and grounded/humble (realistic) when they have children/families, surely we can't say the same does not apply for women. Again, my unpopular opinion lol
I am dealing with a workplace bully. I need prayers, guys, lol. I've not responded in the best way in the past, so her bullying is making me look bad also. I would love you guys sharing on this topic.
Claire, I am so big on boundaries. Work ethics in Uganda are so bad. Petty fights, gossip, sexual harassment etc so toxic environment and immature people!
People talk about communication but the other person has to be ready, open and mature enough to receive your communication. Have you ever communicated your feelings to someone and they demonize u for that or become defensive and make you feel horrible for opening your mouth. 🤦🏿♀️
You see the thing about the public servants is they choose these jobs knowing fully what to expect so they should really not transfer aggression it doesn't solve a thing. Prim am particularly happy about how u have constantly mentioned that u have decided to do better and change the narrative in these offices by how you handle people in you encounter at work. I think we should really just seek to do better.
Interesting conversation ...office politics, weddings - Prim has cracked my ribs on that one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "......entire wedding entourage is made up and of work colleagues and workmates" 😂😂😂 And it's very true, I have seen it happen broad day with my own 2 eyes walahiiii LoL
No one from my workplace was invited to my wedding. Infact no body knew I was even getting married because I am not friends with any workmates on socials. I took my two weeks vacation, got married, went for my honeymoon, and came back. I got engaged a year before I started that job, so I always wore my engagement ring. My wedding band is very thin, so you wouldn't notice, you might think it's one piece. I think people got to know a year later when this girl at work was getting married, and she started asking everyone in the office about ideas on where to get wedding dresses. I said to her, " Check with David's bridals because that is where I got my wedding dress."😮😮😮 she looked at me in shock and said, "What? When are you getting married? I said, " Oh, I got married last year." The gossip went round and round. The new girl who was now sharing an office with me said girl! I like that you kept it to yourself. She winked at me. I don't live in UG, so it's easier to keep things to yourself here.
@@Flourish_today teach us your ways sensei. I totally just gave you a standing ovation . That’s a smart thing to do ! I believe in some way you shaped your workplace going forward. A lot of people will learn from you and keep their private lives to themselves.
Cheii why are you calling me out?🤣🤣🤣. I feel attacked😅. I was at work today going on and on telling my colleague my issues at Home. I caught myself halfway and i said i an those people TUO was talking about🤣🤣. I Will learn to set my boundaries from now on. Thanks TUO👏
@@kwagacathy9821 huh??? that is so wrong dear. your worklife should be separated from your personal life and this applies to workmates. they are your colleagues and NOT your friends!! whatever u vent to them can be used against u, just know that.
We know it's not a one size fits all kind of affair. Some make friends and others have horror stories unfortunately. It's a proceed with caution kind of thing
I learnt never to have any workplace relationships. My former workplace showed me that, Oba where is my supervisor going now they rationalization happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣kuba nga line ministries don’t pay well and already have their own people. I have good work relationships with my new workmates but nothing personal
What Fiona said about the co-workers wanting you to join them for lunch, etc. That's a difficult one to tackle. You're stuck between a hard place and a rock. In such instances i will do once a month eating in the common room and i avoid having personal conversations. Let's talk about inflation or something.
As long as professional boundaries are respected. A certain boss from the time he knew i had been admitted for masters and was resigning guy tried to make my last days hell after declining ka salary increment to stay. Then women that become mistresses to bosses😢Are you that incompetent that you have to be taken advantage of?
Some can be good, most are terrible. There is mis interpretation of how things are addressed at work places... which I am going through at the moment and you are seen as the evil one and all this other nonsense. Its all about clearly defining your boundaries and stick to them. that goes for bosses too.
Claire, I like your aura and authenticity. Everything you say just resonates with me.
Thank you for watching ❤

When it comes to wanting women to be "humble", it's more of wanting us to be docile
That’s what a couple of people try to do with women.
Sadly, this is it!!

Claire, I am so big on boundaries. Work ethics in Uganda are so bad. Petty fights, gossip, sexual harassment etc so toxic environment and immature people!
we surely all need to do and BE better
Good for you ! It’s a good thing to learn early .
Clare has shared my sentiments towards weddings with colleagues and even friends on both showing up and contributing
Thank you for watching

Ladies your still looking amazing as always. Making Saturday a great day
Thank you for watching
Thank you for watching
Totally loved this conversation.
Reminded me of something I learned the hard way
“We are a family” in the workplace is a lie!!😅
In the club, we all Fam🤣 but in the workplace, we all ain't Fam 😉
Work place family oyeee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I heard Bev on Bumplove talk about this sometime back.
Cheii why are you calling me out?🤣🤣🤣. I feel attacked😅. I was at work today going on and on telling my colleague my issues at Home. I caught myself halfway and i said i an those people TUO was talking about🤣🤣. I Will learn to set my boundaries from now on. Thanks TUO👏
In my defense i feel so burned out after work to sosialise (nurse). So i use The chance at work to «sosialise» and vent🤣
@@kwagacathy9821 huh??? that is so wrong dear. your worklife should be separated from your personal life and this applies to workmates. they are your colleagues and NOT your friends!! whatever u vent to them can be used against u, just know that.
We are happy to help. You need to be more careful and protect yourself better
Interesting conversations as always with a dash of humour.
Waiting for wedding episode… like yesterday 🎉😊❤
same here , waiting impatiently😂😂
Hmmmmmm.....watch the space!
Life changing episode ❤ i appreciate you guys
Awww, thank you for watching ❤
So insightful ✌️
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for watching
From Lynn Ngigi to Unpopular Opinion to Bump Love
that right there is what we call a balanced diet
The lady on Lynn Ngugi's show said that secretaries and drivers in cooporate are underrated but are the most powerful 👏
Me & you same wozzap!
Claire, this resonates with me as i have always been big on boundaries and with work politics i think it is mandatory for leadership roles.
Thank you so much for watching
I am jobless now because of relationships at work.
Ela, in my next job, i will be like kemi,
I am going to be the meanest person.
Woah woah woah, slow down! No one said anything about being mean. Be cordial but with firm boundaries
Boundaries. We dont go to work to make friends. It is a mission. We accomplish it faster when the lines of command and communication are not blurred.
📌 📌 great summary
Amazing conversations. Some lessons I've learnt the hard way 😢
You and us both! Thank you for watching
Lovely ladies
Thank you ❤
Prim has dad jokes for days 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Not all people are lucky to have friends prim
We know it's not a one size fits all kind of affair. Some make friends and others have horror stories unfortunately. It's a proceed with caution kind of thing
You just described my wedding. Still very happily married. Wedding budgets are so exaggerated.
It's the "happily married" for us ❤...maybe we will do an episode on weddings soon
Now what about working for actual family like mom or aunt
I learnt never to have any workplace relationships.
My former workplace showed me that, Oba where is my supervisor going now they rationalization happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣kuba nga line ministries don’t pay well and already have their own people.
I have good work relationships with my new workmates but nothing personal
Good work relationships 📌 that's the point right there
This thing of contributing for workmates, one day your getting hard on watching your expenses next day you have 3 extra expenses 😂yoooo
Oh my God, that's So true!

Probably stingy 🤫

Very diplomatic 👌🏽
Then i am that girl who dated someone i worked with and 3 years later we are married 😊. I thank God we were both mature
Congratulations 🎉to you guys. We are glad to know that they are not all horror stories
It's good to make friends at work but don't be attached so quickly.
As long as professional boundaries are respected.
A certain boss from the time he knew i had been admitted for masters and was resigning guy tried to make my last days hell after declining ka salary increment to stay.
Then women that become mistresses to bosses😢Are you that incompetent that you have to be taken advantage of?
Oh you've opened the can of mistresses 🫢
Did u get another job afterwards?
@ronniedenis3844
Do you have one for me? 😂😂 Just kidding, cant afford working right now. Will work after school.
@@biryerihafusa2778Noted

HR spillage is so real. We really are not a family . Let's do our work and go home.
But it is so unprofessional banange

Your video has been pausing in between,
Kindly elaborate on what you mean. Does it glitch, or does it have ads?
@@theunpopularopinionugit was glitching
@@pesh179 could you share the exact time stamps of when this happened?

People who drink with their bosses though😂,i find it awkward
They should come and tell us how they do it
Some are friends, I guess they know when who is who
They are the ones reporting their colleagues as in gossiping to the boss
It can never be me 😂😂😂 what kind of conversations are they having over those drinks 😂
We still like the ka song Real, Raw and saying it all. However, you practice to be perfect at it alot and makes it a bit boring.
