unscrupulous practices among my colleagues, in the way\u00a0 how they go about hiring and promoting\u00a0 persons up the cooperate ladder&#8230;..<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>Such practices has now forced me to ask the question, does the &#8221; knee in the neck &#8221; syndrome exist on the job sites?<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>Just about a year ago,\u00a0 we heard about George Floyd, an Afroamerican man, met his untimely death due to a knee that was placed in his neck by someone who was considered to be in authority.<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>Interestingly, it is my view, that the same &#8220;knee in the neck&#8221; syndrome exists on the job sites of today.. Similar to Mr. Floyd, who was at the time pursuing his own ambition, an employee also has an ambition of climbing the cooperate ladder, some day. Unfortunately,\u00a0 some persons never fulfill their ambitions because they become a victim of discrimination, and hence, are been overlooked or get pushed at the back of the bus or even have the corporate ladder pushed from under them inspite of the hard work &amp; dedication they put in to the\u00a0 organization<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>I will certainly agree &amp; also give kudos to those of us who as employees aim &amp; work feverishly to get to the top of the cooperate ladder. For some unforeseen\u00a0 circumstances others may just cruise their way just to get to the next level above them.<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>Regardless of the situation, each employee should be looked at in a fair manner &amp; be treated with utmost respect. On the job all employees should be faced with a level playing field.\u00a0 As managers, many of us may have a different style of managing however, professionalism, fairness &amp; empathy should not be overlooked.<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>Of course, it is expected that the heads of every organization will set standards along with a criteria for one to meet in order for an individual to get hired or promoted. Be that as it is, the process of hiring or promoting should be impartial,\u00a0 so that what goes for one&#8230;. will go for all!<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>Sadly, I have seen friends, family members &amp; close associates of managers who have been highered or promoted all because of the knee in the neck syndrome of nepotism or cronyism, thus causing other staff members to be stifled on the job. Strange enough some of these persons who have been hired or promoted may not even have the proper work ethics or the required qualification for the job.<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>We are now in the 21st century where we as managers\u00a0 are better trained than before. As a result, I am making a plea that we become more conscious of the health of the organization which also includes the human resources of whom we manage rather than trying to prove that we are kings &amp; queens of all survey&#8230;&#8230;.. Professionalism &amp; impartiality needs to be properly exercised..<br dir=\"auto\" \/><br dir=\"auto\" \/>To minimize managerial biasness towards employees,\u00a0 the employee&#8217;s need to be more active. Simultaneously, I am of the view that the time has come for a\u00a0 national unit be implemented so that it will be responsible for the\u00a0 interviewing, hiring &amp; promoting of potential individuals for a job.\u00a0 Let us remember that as managers we need to be the wind beneath each employee&#8217;s wings. An employees output\u00a0 is always a reflection of how they have been viewd &amp; treated by those in authority.\u00a0\u00a0 If managers are more empathetic &amp; more professional then the organization that we manage will optimally thrive a lot better.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2463115554\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\" aria-label=\"ANU CVP Digital Broadband 1200x400_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:100\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:342\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:256\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1201\" height=\"401\"   \/><\/a><\/div><div id=\"antig-2060777698\" class=\"antig-content_12 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ablpag\" aria-label=\"Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:169\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:576\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:432\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:864\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-3559801495\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor Greetings!!
