As A Director, Sack Any Employee That Behaves Like This by charming1111(m): 10:07am On May 08, 2016 |
In every organisation in Nigeria, the love between supervisors and “eye service” is same as the love between Nigeria and fuel scarcity. If you can stop Buhari from coming to Nigeria as a “visiting president” then you can separate supervisors from “eye service”. Except the GOD OF SHILOH is on your side, getting a job in Naija is like winning N10,000,000 from nairabet. It’s very difficult!!! There are alot of graduates in the labour market who have been job hunting for decades but are still unemployed; that’s why, the few who are employed, protect their jobs the same way Claudio Ranieri of LeicesterCity is protecting the English premier league title. Finally, God has answered your prayers! You just got employed and as custom demands, the organisation would train you on her vision as a corporate entity and how you should treat her customers. But then, nobody will teach you about POLITICS IN THE OFFICE. It is clearly written in the book of Matthew that, where 2 or 3 are gathered, there’s bound to be a PDP and an APC member, that is to say, politics in the office is inevitable. It has eaten so deep into supervisors such that they forget about the corporate goals of the organisation and they start chasing after frivolities. A supervisor once said, “Subordinates who ask after my family and call me while am on vacation, their appraisal score must be higher than those who neither called me nor asked after my family”........can you imagine? How does calling one’s supervisor while he/she is on vacation, affect the goals of the organisation? This is a clear show of misplaced priority. In most organisations, subordinates who are experts at “eye service” are always in their supervisors’ BOOK OF LIFE. They are untouchable! Surprisingly, these set of employees are not efficient/effective on the job; all they know how to do is, “eye service” It’s really painful to see hardworking employees being BLACKLISTED by their superiors all because they focus on their jobs and they little or no time for eye service. During retrenchment, most supervisors are guilty of sentiment. They would submit the names of effective staff that are not so good at “eye service” and retain ineffective employees who are only good at game of “eye service”.......just imagine!!! Although politics is part of our everyday life, it is ideal for supervisors to focus on achieving the goals of the organisation instead of being distracted by “eye service”. In the same vein, as an employee (a subordinate), even if you are extremely good on the job, and you hate “eye service” with passion, once in a while, play the game of office politics. Remember, you must PROTECT your JOB, because, it is easier for a CAMEL to pass through the eye of a NEEDLE than for a YOUNG GRADUATE to get a JOB in Naija. As a director, all “eye service” seeking supervisors should be cautioned; else, this attitude would negatively impact on the organisation’s brand and profitability. http://www.infongr.com/2016/05/as-director-sack-any-employee-that.html 22 Likes 9 Shares

Work places will always consist of diverse people. What you call "eye service" may be called in other parlance "apt social & interpersonal skills". Such useful skills become detrimental when the bearer exhibits the following: a. Lacks diligence; hence depends on this social intelligence factor to grow in the company. b. Always willing to pull other colleagues down by covertly reporting them to superiors even when unnecessary. Snitches are the worst members of any organization. They tear the fabric of togetherness. c. Always willing to outshine others in pleasing superiors. This relates to excessive use of the ability and charm for personal gains. Other than these unsuitable attributes above, there is nothing wrong (in my opinion) for a staff to call a superior during vacation to ask after his or her family as long as it is done with sincerity of purpose. Trust me, such sincerity is always felt and known by the receiving party. Many successful business owners had a combination of diligence & strong interpersonal skills with astute emotional intelligence to become great people. "Eye Service" is the negative use of such skills. My 2 cents. 28 Likes |

Nice one. As a supervisor most of the eye service colleagues are already on the retrench list, just waiting to conclude the procedure. Lol those people are really burden to the company I tell you. 1 Like 1 Share |

This reminds me of ma office, where ma director is a pain in the ass. I am in the opposition and I don't give a hoot because I know the power to sack me is not in his hands. He can only whine and cry. Its a Federal job, the best he can ever do is to seek for ma redeployment. I got colleagues who would leave the office,play around Buh would be good boy when he's around. If he travels for days, those niggas would be no where near the office, Buh they always get appraisal and tips from the boss, who cares ? 4 Likes 1 Share |
