Hello Buddy,
Belated International HR Day o. Hope you celebrated your HR because I celebrated mine.
By the way, thereās been one hot gist or the other on the internet about HRs recently. First, Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the companyās entire HR team. He said they were ācreating problems that didnāt exist.ā
As I was about to comment against his actions, the next thing I saw was:
Tbh, these our HRs sefā¦they too do sometimes. But maybe Iām wrong, so tell me:
Before you goā¦I canāt be the only one seeing this please š
A lady actually wore wrapper (not with buba o) to the office on their work-from-home outfit day and now I see why shame and agbada belong in the same sentence š.
Reine, Reigning; Raenest
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Raenest
I like how Nigerian tech has not been playing recently. Itās not just providing jobs, itās actually bettering lives and this time, itās Raenest o (formerly Geegpay)..
Not everybody receiving payments from international remote gigs is waiting 3 or more days for their bank to credit them, buddy. Some get their payments immediately their employer hits the send buttonā¦even on weekends and they are using Raenest.
So I said let me inform you before you get left behind because at this point itās only you and one other person that havenāt clocked it yet (Even Apostle has heard about it š).
And honestly? They should just collect that āeverywhere you goā kini from MTN and hand it to Raenest because they are already in 160+ countries. China o, US o, UKā¦ you name it.
And the maddest part? Instead of downloading 5 different apps, you can purchase US stocks and ETFs, pay your international bills, manage your stablecoins, ati beebe loā¦all from just one app.
Theyāll even give you a physical or virtual USD card, with zero deposit fees on their USD, GBP, and EUR accounts..
But if youāre still waiting for that international gig to click, buddyā¦ will HE not do it? Maybe take a step of faith andā¦
