DISCOVERY AND EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE

John has been working at a company for two years and feels undervalued compared to a coworker promoted after only six months. When John's manager asks him to inquire about buying oranges for employees, John fails to ask key details like price and quantity available. In contrast, when the manager gives the same task to Rob, he returns with all the requested information, including options for other fruits. The manager shows John was not thorough in his work, and the moral is about doing every job, no matter how small, with full effort in order to get more important responsibilities.

THE ORANGES Thoughts on how to be better in our jobs and life!!!
John has been working in a company for two years. He is serious, hard-working, responsible and punctual. He is proud because in two years he has received no warnings or reprimands.
One day, he looked for the manager to make him a complaint: Sir, Ive been working in this company for two years. I like my job and work hard, but I feel I am not valued. Look, Rob started in a position like mine just 6 months ago and he has been promoted to Supervisor.
Uhmmmmm the manager thought and said: I would like your help in solving a problem. I would like to give some fruit to the employees at lunch today. In the market, which is on the corner they sell fruit. Please, can you ask if they have oranges?
John tried his best to do this task job and 5 minutes later he returned O.K John, Sir, they what did you have ask? oranges to sell !! And how much were Ahhhh.I they? didnt ask O.K, but did you see if they have I didnt ask it enough oranges Sir for everyone? Is there another fruit I dont know we can use Sir, but I instead of think oranges?
O.K, please sit down for a moment. The manager took the phone and called Rob. When Rob was in front of them, the manager gave to him the same instruction as he gave to John and 10min. later, Rob came back.
When Rob was in front of the manager, he asked: Sir, they have oranges, enough for everyone, but if Ok Rob you prefer they also have what news banana, papaya, melon do you have and mango. The price of the oranges is UGX for me? 14.000 / kg. The banana is UGX 5.000 per bunch, mango is UGX 7.000/kg, papaya and melon UGX 3.000/kg. They told me if we buy 25% more they will give us 8% discount. Thank you I reserved the oranges Rob!!! But but if you prefer another wait a fruit I have to go back moment to confirm the reservation. please
The manager looked at John who was waiting amazed and said to him: Jhon, what were you talking to me about? Nothing Sir, excuse me.
