We told people that they were all welcome to join z new system, which entails a non-territorial concept. Give up yr desk and z trappings of personal space, and we’ll give u freedom. Predictably, only half of our people have taken up z offer. Not everyone likes freedom, apparently Image
We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour, not even making a pretence of looking busy. I’m sure this mystifies some of our visitors. Most modern managers wouldn’t tolerate it.
But when a Semco pump on an oil tanker on the other side of the world fail and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea, Rubin springs into action. He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them. That’s when he earns his salary.
No one cares if he doesn’t look busy the rest of the time.

My office is on the fourth floor — at least it was the last time I looked, I don’t use it as much as other proprietors. Most mornings, I work at home.

THREAD: Financial services are vital. Demand is high due to the growth. There are now more #Somali banks. In the last two years, nearly three Somali-owned private banks have opened, and more are in the process of being licensed.

Chart source: @SomaliaInsider Image
In June 2015, MasterCard became the first international payment network to enter Somalia. There had been no formal banking and financial system since the collapse in 1991. @MastercardMEA partnered with @premierbankSO_ as its first partnership in the country.
From 2001-2009, the largest players in the financial services industry were the money transfer companies. These included @Dahabshil, @TawakalExpress, @AmalBankHQ, Amaana, @JubaExpress, Hodan Global, and Qaran. The majority of these have been transformed into banks.

In recent years, several high-ranking #Somali women in public service have left their positions after facing — day by day — oppression, devaluation and debilitation from ignoramus men.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! #SpeakUP #SayNo2WOMENOPPRESSION Image
@warsame_Fouzia says, “I have to work ten times harder than the men for my contributions to be valued, to be accepted, and to belong.”.

It reminds me the efforts we’ve put in rebuilding the Somali Embassy in Brussels seven years ago. Somalia has beautiful embassy buildings in different European countries, but unfortunately they’re not functioning due to lack of financial support.
