I took it back to the office telling my boss what the problem is so he told me to return it back to where he bought it that they will have solution to it there. now the laptop have been there for over a month with no solution. He refused to pay my salary because of the laptop saying it's when I get solution to the laptop that I can be paid.please help what can I do

pweetiedee:

How much does the laptop cost?

ekensi01:



You no to go and hurry up the people who you got the laptop from.

Disturb them since your boss handed everything in your hands.

If I where the one I would have sack you.




It just that you don't understand how things go.

Reply me with your question

Moranc:
The laptop cost 220,000

LaEvilIMiss:


Make a sacrifice... buy a new mother-board.. if he does not appreciate it.. make another sacrifice.. this time his head

ArchangeLucifer:




Leave dat one, na mouth e dey make. Prolly never worked in an office sef. You have to understand that some people are retarrds.

Secondly, the OP must be a mumu bcus if my boss withholds my salary, something of his will get missing real quick.

He'll know its me but won't have proof.

Deguy12:
you are pretty dear

pweetiedee:


Lol...

I showed my former boss pepper. I'm sure he won't want to employed someone that looks like me or even bears the same name with me.

eph12:

What will it cost to replace the board?

Moranc:
that should be around 60,000 to 65,000

As an entrepreneur, i can relate to your boss. I hate excuses. You should be able to find solution to problems - especially in your area of competence. How can you claim to be an IT personnel but you were unable to resolve a simple hardware problem within one month.

The instruction of your boss is simple; get solution for the laptop, he did not say bear the cost of finding a solution to the laptop. What is required of you is to source a perfectly good motherboard (probably with a guarantee) and present an invoice to your boss on the cost of purchasing and installing the motherboard. If he tells you to bear the cost of repairs of the laptop, then you are perfectly within your rights to vehemency refuse and resign. Since the laptop is still in your possession, you can repair the laptop and sell it to retrieve part or all of your salary.

Make sure everything is in writing, in case he want to go legal on you.

That’s less than $1000. The motherboard should cost nothing more than $200. You should be able to get a good motherboard from eBay. If after getting a motherboard, he still refuse to pay u, break the new motherboard on his head and pack all the laptops he has left

Boh OP, talk truth, are you sure you didn’t remove something from the laptop to swindle your Oga

Jeezuzpick:
Guy de man no just wan pay you.

Na only de laptop repair be de only tin wey you dey do wey one month pass?

Gluhbirne:
Why don't you find another repair shop to fix the laptop?

Moranc:
thanks for your post but the point is his not ready to buy motherboard all his after is for the laptop to work...that was why he said I should return it to where he bought it hoping that they will do it for him free there

ArchangeLucifer:



Lol. I've never been in that salary situation tho.

But sometimes, I make requests and when it gets delayed for no reason, work slows down in the office.
I head the IT department so I just make sure some things don't work. Printers, internet connections etc - anything vital to the office goes down.

They never try delaying my requests anymore because the firm ends up spending more on repairs and fixes and WILL STILL grant my request in the end.

Every problem has a solution.

Moranc:
thank you sir
