My Workers Are Ripping Me On Site by Senoiret(m): 11:03pm On Sep 04, 2021
Half of my workers are mid range over 48-55, and constitute the set of people who like to cheat me , I've been extremely nice to my workers in such a way you'll always love to work with me, I pay them promptly , sometimes cook for them and made sure they see enough gain when buying materials aside from their workmanship fee....

There's this carpenter that has been working for me over 2 weeks, he seemed cool at first and sweet coated whenever he dishes me daily report about his work and how well coordinated he works, I decided to give him a trial in the first place but the first work he did was so unsatisfactory he got me angry , someone over 40 years older than me, I gave him money to get nails for me which he never bought for the work , when I requested for the pack of nails he bought he gave me unreasonable excuses... And he was someone who was literally begging to get the job misbehaving to me....


as if that's not enough, I caught my bricklayer with a vehicle to the site loading over 4 bags of cement into the little van they brought, I wish I could record the shock all over his face and the way he was stammering .. And decent guy who I thought was reasonable enough to handle things for me, I sacked the motherfucker, the new one I employed is even worse, he thinks I'm a small buy kus I'm 22 and maybe he's feeling Intimidated by the portfolio of work I'm handling....

so many instances I can't even mention, after showing them love and care, allowing them to eat even when you are paying them well, they'll go at any length to rip you off...

please always open your eyes ooo, most of these worker's but not all are fond of acting crazy and take people they work for granted on site, they feel they are always smarter than. everyone else in the room and know how to cheat their way around you.... we have to do better and more as human, greed is unnecessary a d won't define breakthrough .moment for anybody...

You will continue to get rip off until you treat business as business. no free meal ticket on site but if they want free meals they should come to the house

Are you the supervisor, site engineer or owner of project?


Modified - - as a supervisor, whatever goes on in that site depends on how you manage it. Make someone a scape goat in that site and see things change for the better..
I don't handle my workers with iron hands in fact, I am very lenient with them but If just one person do anyhow, I make sure everyone involve suffer for it...

This is why I set an instance to a friend.... He tried to compare Nigeria with the whites.. I told him that a white man is 100% sincere and will admits to their crimes if they do... But a black man will never admits to their crimes... yet they keep stealing from others to get rich...


That's why our politicians steal from the government and sees it as a good thing since they're not stealing from somebody's bag..

I already excluded that from my end, I'm a very nice person, sometimes the way I reason influenced my decision to do meal free for then as often as possible, even though there is no way it's affecting me , though as I usually include them in my budgetary provision anytime I make bill for clients, this motherfuckers where now seeing that gesture as an act of foolishness from my end, grin, after all all of us na human and all this little thing barely matters to me as a person

Normal thing. Most Nigerian workers lack integrity
They will beg you for a job and when you eventually give them one they will rob you blind.

We are the problems of Nigeria. These same workers will go home and be blaming government for everything o.


Some Staffs of government parastatals are so corrupt that you wonder If they learned it from the womb. From the lowest level it gets to the highest level of government. Then, we will come and start blaming the government for everything. Like the government is a group of Aliens .

They are looking down on you because of your age and that's very clear. You have any elder brother, uncle or friend who can go to the site with you a couple of times to throw them off? So they don't think you are the sole manager of the contract.

That's how one i ask to mould blocks for me, i gave him thirty cement to mould he mould twenty six and pocket the remaining ones i ask him, he told me it was the boy he gave the work that refuse to mould the remaining ones. Is been four months now and the idiot has not mould the remaining four bags

At op there are obviously underrating you. Is best that if you can't be at your site then there should be no work that day if not you will use money for a flat to build one room.
