Boss To Staff Relationship; The Opportunist - Bamisepeters' Blog by bamisepeters(m): 9:37am On Nov 17, 2016
The last of the kinds of boss in the universe. This is the worst of all the bosses in all ramifications as it can kill any serious business.

This kind of boss takes advantage of the situation in a particular environment.

We have so many organizations in this part of the continent where graduates are hired for jobs where they should earn enough, instead, they get peanut every day or month after hard labour.

The labourers can even be proud to declare their earnings meanwhile, a graduate working for this kind of boss cannot even pronounce the name of the organization he/she is working for.

Even when they are passionate about the job, the condition, pressure attached to the job is enough to push out the passion coupled with bad wages or salary and no incentives.

For example, as expected, someone working in a telecommunication company should be entitled to some minutes of airtime given for a particular period by the company.

So far this kind of companies knows there are no job and government policies are not top notch, they take advantage of these to give bad offers to graduates which those graduates will still find manageable due to the condition with hope that better one will come, yet, there will be no time for them to even apply to other ones as all their time will be consumed by the one they claim to be managing.

Apart from the above, this kind of boss is common among male bosses, they take advantage of the opposite sex due to the fact that they are the boss.

In this case who should we blame, the pressurer or the pressured?

Personally, i cannot blame the subject for succumbing to the pressure mounted by the boss for a sexual relationship to keep her job when we know it is an herculean task to get another.

Well, we can say she lacks faith but do you think it is easy for someone who cruises around in a car to start trekking?

It is good to reject the pressure, in fact, some women do, but i must confess it is not easy and kudos to those faithful ladies.

Bosses in this category are those who are over protective of their female offspring, in fact, they don't pray to have daughter(s) because of the way they threat other ladies.

This kind of bosses do not mind losing best hands for quacks just because of sexual pleasures.

The bad thing is that at the long run, the female still lose because the boss will always want to eat different delicacies.
If you are in this category, it is advisable you let this change affect you for better as you are killing your business, home and future gradually.

You claim you are professional, yet, you hire because of what you see in a particular lady that will favour just you not minding the desired qualities needed to move the business forward.

You might think you are enjoying, the fact is you are throwing stones ahead which you will still be the one to step on.

One who doesn't believe in something will always fall for anything. The world is made up of 99 percent opportunists and only 1 percent of altruists.

Altruists live on principle, while opportunists live on expediency.

Opportunists are of two classes:

- Leechlike opportunist

- Predaceous oopportunist

The unfortunate thing is that the leechlike opportunist (employee) will always lose to a predaceous opportunist (employer/boss).

A good product - when aggressively and effectively marketed - will always sell itself. You the employee, let your boss respect and love you based on your efficiency/expertise on the service you provide. Stop showing and needing unnecessary familiarity with favouritism intent. Don't make yourself a servile to your boss/organization instead make yourself a loyal, dedicated and faithful staff and every other thing good will come your way. Greed and conceitedness will always fail you in the end.

Enough of employees victimization cries. Many a time, they are the main architects of their own misfortunes.

Is my ex boss on Nairaland? lol
This is exactly the same advice my ex boss gave me (as a Trainee) when he joined the organization. He knew from the outset that he wasn't going to stay for long. Advised me to shun office politics and ass-licking, and admonished me to know my onions. That I should let people respect me for my skills and expertise. Although, he said people who follow this path are not seen as 'company man' and don't climb up the corporate ladder faster.
But who cares? All I care about is developing my technical skills as my ex boss advised. If I will become a manager or not, it is up to fate.
I'm strictly a technical guy by the way.
No time for ass licking and playing office politics for favouritism intent.
God bless my ex boss!

Your referenced ex-boss must sure be an altruist. . . . Kudos to him. There's a potent saying "manipulators lose credibility diplomats gain it." This saying is very potent I say. Here let me liken an altruist to powerful person and compared to a popular person; the crowd will always admire a popular person but in the end they would follow a powerful person. No wonder popular candidates in elections hardly emerges victorious against their powerful/influential opponents.

The fact remains that no sane and sound boss would intentionally retrench a personnel who's an asset to his organization. So, in the long run an altruist will always win and lead against an opportunist.

Most employers are opportunists. Even when you give your best, you get treated unfavourably. The best any employee can pray for is an inspiring boss, someone who is professional with staff, so that by the time u are moving on, u will have enough experience to stand alone. But most employers dread that, most want to keep ur wings perpetually clipped.

The problem is incongruity in Staff/Management expectation/thinking.

Staff see themselves indispensable, forgetting that the company comes first.
Management sees the company goals as most important and staff, secondary.

Until both reach a middle ground where Management sees staff as indispensable and Staff sees company goals as most important, there will continue to be Conflict.
