Ahan! I never stated otherwise. I thought we could have a discussion or debate on this. Don't know why you scared of someone quoting you.

if any part of that post was insulting maybe you should point it out or you could just ignore and forget I quoted you

eph12:

Totally wrong. An employer whether Nigerian or not, knows the importance of keeping a good employee. They normally won't want the employee to leave but at the same time they cannot afford more than what they can afford to pay.

Appswheel:
many reasons account for this. I'd share my views shortly.

d primary reasons r wickedness n greediness from d employers side. D management give more emphasis on their candidates for promotion , does that worship them n do eye service .Check it out any employee that is competent on his job , don't do eye service, so when promotion comes they denied most of this employees except God did his miracle...from were I was working before , in my section , I was d best at what I do...I was by d help of God able to progress in my department n d company atlarge . But when its time for rewarding my boss n her boys will be favoured because I don't go to her house, don't go to her office to do eye service. When I confront her , she will keep giving me hope....for nine good years I was not promoted. I got another job n went to submit my resignation, that was when her eyes open n it was already late..I was begged n was offered to be promoted, I refused n I left..till today, I had that they were not able to get someone that can confidently do d job.

You are very correct in your views. Most employers reward employees who are intuitive, innovative, creative and entrepreneurial.

Intuitive - You dont always wait to be told what to do. You take initiative.
Innovative - You suggest ideas of how to increase company profits, improve company products and services.
Creative - Improve on the company existing methods of getting things done.
Entrepreneurial - You take ownership of your job. Work as if its your own business. Take full charge and responsibility.

However, some people do all these and still do not get promoted. This happens in organisation that do not care about their staff or management that favour staff that are grounded in "eyes service". Again, some employees do not let their Manager or management know what they bring to the table, while it is not advised that you blow your own trumpet, employees must find a way to show their Managers and Management what efforts they are making to make the organisation better. Let them see your effort and the impact it has on the company.

Finally, there is politics in every organisation. Open your eyes and learn the robes. Get close to the people that matter in your organisation, the decision makers. If you put this advise to heart, your name will be top of the list of employees for promotion.

In the last organisation I worked with, I got promoted twice within a year. Not minding the recession, when people are being laid off and salaries been slashed.

You left no room for debate at bolded. Just ignore me please.

thesicilian:

Haha. Noticed that too, the Totally wrong stuff. Its not a very nice way to start a discussion, most especially when the topic at hand is based on opinion and not an exact science.

LekkiHost:
I keep wondering why most employers do not promote their employees and this came to my mind..The reason why employers do not promote their employee is that most employees do only what they are told to do..they are not willing to do more, think more or even go the extra mile.
They lack initiative and professionalism.some employees are not willing to learn and develop soft skills needed for them to succeed in their career. they do not do things that exceeds the management expectation and most of all they don't think like a manager but like employee......what else do you think could deprive an employee from being promoted?

Talk of illegal Jobs. I have Neva had an employment letter since I ve been working.

Talking about promotion to an indian/lebanese they would log on тo nairaland and ѕaнara reporт card to do a background check oғ yυ and υr tribe so to know hw to handle yu according to trbal comments. Cos dey use our hatred for one another to manage us

promotion WOW WOW Now that's an attempted coup

vislabraye:


While some of the things you say are true, you should also note that many employers have their own issues. For instance we have Indians and Lebanese who exploit their workers. I don't know whether you've been hearing of poor working condition.
Or may be you are a teacher in a private school. You are an engineering graduate looking for a job. You are asked to teach maths, physics, further maths, intro tech and/or chemistry. How can an employee function well.

Yannny:
As an employee too don't be dependent. Work hard on yourself not your work. If you work hard on yourself, it will fetch you a FORTUNE and if you work hard in your place of work, it will only fetch you a LIVING.

Join/Form a LABOUR UNION!!!

retouchfoods:


Does labour union still help matter today? I really thought it was in the past.

Some employer may even sack you with your union and wait for the case.
