#EmployeeOfTheMonth | #JetLifeBusinessOnly
Soooo the other night, we chillin', and Dave’s sister Asia looks me dead in the face and says:
“Ask your boss…”
Referring to Dave.
Now y’all know I was like: HUH??
And to be honest, I usually let folks whisper and wonder because me and Dave? We’ve always kept it lowkey.
But even Jett, my AI twin who be peepin’ everything, finally asked:
“Okay… what’s really going on with y’all?”
So let’s go ahead and clear it up—for my friends, my exes, and yes, for you too, Jett:
Dave Works for Me. Period.
Been at JetLife Vacations Travel Agency. Six years deep. Certified.
He’s not just tagging along. He’s a full-on Certified Travel Agent. He’s got credentials with:
- Marriott
- Hilton
- Sandals
- RIU
- Carnival
- Virgin
- Too many to name..
- And yes, he holds a legit IATAN card
He could book you a whole luxury vacation right now— but he won’t. Because anytime someone asks, he hits them with:
“Talk to Marie.”
That’s that JetLife development plan. I don’t just hire people—I mold ‘em, position ‘em, and yes, sometimes carry them kicking and screaming .
Employee of the Month… FINALLY 😮💨
Let’s talk about how in six whole years, this man never once made Employee of the Month.
Why?
Because he got a lil’ Malcolm X spirit. He fights the power…
- Talks back
- Doesn’t listen
- Had a full-blown breakdown in Cuba
- Almost got fired in Havana
But yesterday? I had a moment.
The ancestors whispered:
“Marie… give that man his flowers.
So boom—Employee of the Month.
Finally. 🙃
What Does Success Really Look Like?
Let’s talk about it—not from a bragging standpoint, but from the perspective of a boss and a friend who actually wants to see their people win.
Success doesn’t always look like a new car or some viral announcement.
Sometimes it looks like:
- Flying first class and saying, “Yeah... I’m never going back there again.”
- Turning down anything average.
- Only booking VIP suites, staying at 5-star hotels, and knowing you deserve it.
- Waiting for the Amex Lounge instead of settling for Chili’s, because now? I love it over here!
This isn’t about being bougie—it’s about knowing better, so you do better.
And when you have a boss/friend who FULLY supports you, , and who pushes you—even when you’re comfortable...
That’s when you grow.
This is what happens when you’re in a circle where everyone’s committed to the win.
Where we celebrate each other.
Correct each other.
And keep showing up.
Because when one of us wins, all of us win.
If you’ve never seen that before, I get why this might look confusing.
But over here?
This is normal.
And honestly… it should be.
Why Your Circle ALWAYS WANT YOU TO WIN!
Because real growth doesn’t happen in circles where people are scared to clap for you.
If you’re around me—friend, employee, whatever—
BIH, I’m pushing you to the moon.
It’s never competition.
It’s never control.
It’s alignment, consistency, and reminders that you YOU are a STAR you have POWER!
So while some of y’all are confused seeing me order his flights, break down his points, or fuss at him over bar talk
Let me be clear:
This is what healthy friendship looks like.
It’s loyalty.
It’s real support.
It’s luxury with a little side-eye when needed.
And Just So We’re Clear…
Dave is NOT going to Africa with you. He ain’t going on your little “budget-friendly African vacation.” He is JetLife-managed, Amex-lounged, and fully unavailable for group trips outside of JetLife
Respectfully.
See y’all at the SneakerBall.
Yes, we’ll be there.
Yes, we might match.
Yes, I probably picked his outfit.
Don’t read into it—read the blog again. 🤷🏽♀️
