Boss Discovered My Side Job And Threatened To Fire Me!!

Here is Judy’s Story

I have been working for my current boss for close to 3 years now. The job is okay, it’s just that my salary has not been increased during this whole time. I have been struggling to make ends meet and to be honest, I have been surviving on loans from here and there.

A few months back, a friend of mine introduced me to a guy who offered me an online job and a salary that is equal to the one that my boss pays me. The job was so flexible, so I quickly agreed to do it.

To juggle the two jobs, I have been getting to work very early and then I start with the workload for my ‘actual’ job and then when I am done, I tackle the other job which is so much more flexible and easier.

I have really been enjoying this because every end of the month, I get not one, but two pay checks. I have found financial freedom that I never thought was possible. I can even afford to save cash for the future

However, I am afraid I messed up and it may cost me my job. I got to work very early as usual one morning and since it was still 6 am, I decided to do my online work for an hour then focus on my job. As I was busy on the site, my boss walked in unnoticed by me and observed me, before clearing his throat and tapping my shoulder.

I panicked and stared at him sheepishly. Without a word, he walked away and left me there. I couldn’t concentrate on anything. To be honest, I expected him to fire me there and then. At around 9am, he summoned me to his office and gave me an ultimatum. He told me to either quit my side job, or or he would fire me from his company. He gave me 2 days to show him my resignation.

I love my job, but I also want to make money to live a comfortable life. Maybe I should quit this job and concentrate on the online one that gives me flexible hours, then maybe I can find another job. The problem is that I do not know about the job stability of the online gig.

Please advise me. What is the right thing to do?

    Don't do your online jobs in the office. Keep it at home. It was reasonanle for him to say that to you since he thought you were doing your work all day and not the one the company pays you for.

There is no regret in Obedience

It’s a guarantee your life will never be the same again when you obey God. God is our CREATOR and our DIRECTOR meaning he knows the best way for our lives since he loves us, our role is to simply OBEY Him. Obedience is everything when we are relating to God. Obedience is the KEY ingredient in the kingdom of God. God is always ready to manifest himself in our lives when we obey Him and his word(John 14:23 Jesus Replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” Like 5:5 Simon Peter an experienced fisherman with a fishing business had toiled the whole night without any catch of fish and he was frustrated and tired and he was washing his nets UNTIL Jesus told him to Launch out into the deep again. Peter had a CHOICE to say YES or NO but he choose to OBEY and he said: “Nevertheless AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET”. The moment he chooses to obey instead of Questioning, Analyzing and trying ...

President Uhuru Kenyatta sets ablaze world's biggest Ivory Pile #WorthMoreAlive #IvoryBurn

Kenya has burned more than Sh31 billion worth of ivory in a bold sign of commitment to declaring a war on ivory trade and poaching. President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday lit fire on the 105 tonnes of ivory, stack up in 11 huge pyramid-shaped pyres, that is expected to burn for at least three days. Speaking at the burning ceremony, President Kenyatta said Kenya will not tolerate ivory trade even as the country has to grapple with “a new generation of poachers with sophisticated weapons who are threatening national heritage and safety of communities.” By destroying the ivory, we declare once and for all that our National Heritage is not for sale. For us ivory is worthless, unless it is on our elephants said the president Check the pictures below:>>>>>

CA sounds alert on fake software

The telecommunications sector watchdog has warned companies and individual Internet users from buying fake software, saying it now offers hackers the most common loophole for executing cyber-attacks. The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), through the National Computer Incident Response Team Co-ordination Centre (National KE-CIRT/CC), warned on Thursday that cybercriminals have changed tack and are now using third-party software to deliver threats to unsuspecting users in an attempt to compromise and steal their personal data. “Though Kenya has not been adversely affected by such attacks as at now, the trend depicts a serious concern in cybercrime management and thus a precaution should be taken when dealing with outsourced products and personnel,” said acting CA director- general Christopher Kemei in a statement. Kenyan businesses lose billions of shillings and troves of sensitive information to hackers every year. SOURCE
