Love language: salary increase
Also: My coworker is a Klepto!
Breet wants to show you how to get paid in USDT. Check this out!
Hello Buddy,
I just found out that the 5 love languages work at work too. Well, according to WorkLife.
And here’s what that can look like:
Words of affirmation: That genuine praise or acknowledgement you get from your boss for your hard work. Or even a shout-out in front of the team.
Quality time: When your boss actually takes time out of their busy schedule for a one-on-one meeting, listens to your ideas, or gives you real-time feedback, without checking their phone every two minutes.
Acts of service: When your boss steps in to help with a deadline, takes on some of the heavy lifting, or just offers support when things get hectic.
Tangible gifts: A little surprise like a thank-you note, a gift card, or “lunch on me” lol
Appropriate physical touch: This looks like a handshake or a high-five from your boss after hitting a milestone or doing good work.
Now I’m here like…. Eeer must be nice but where’s salary increase in all this? 😂
Anyway, how would you like your boss to show you love at work?
Now to what I have curated for you today.

CONFESSIONS OF A NIGERIAN 9-TO-5ER
My Coworker Is A Klepto!
My coworker is kleptomaniac!
Every time he works on my shift, something goes missing and initially I didn’t think anything of it because I’m a little careless with things at times.
But it’s been 6 months now and the only thing that hasn’t gone missing every time I’ve worked with him are the clothes off my back.
The final straw that broke the camels back happened when I stood up to use the restroom and came back to see that my phone had grown legs and walked away from where I kept it in my purse and he was the only person in the office at the time I left.
When I came back and didn’t see my phone I nearly lost it because that phone is the price of my two months salary.
I confronted him about it and..
