Malika, a tenant of Miriam House would not go home for the holidays. All the other tenants did.
Malika had a very strong feeling that Ann South, the Matron, would take the chance of escape and leave Miriam House for at least a week.
So strong was her feeling that she’d taken the keys to another room from a friend.
Not unexpected, one morning she saw the gate open, a car drive in and make an early turn, she hurried out, hid by the teacher’s house. She saw Ann South hop into that car carrying a suitcase.
Yes! She shouted, then phoned her family in country.
They’d enjoy a week of free light, free water, free lodging in a nice part of the city where they could celebrate Christmas.
Wow they got lucky with the free room nd board.
When you appoint someone as ‘manager’ and give them no power, they become demotivated, meaning it is better to have no one than someone who couldn’t care less.
Indeed you make a great point.
I’ve seen it too many times. Step on the ‘supervisior’ or ‘manager’ and they cease to function.
