Simple, stop taking the bike to work. Or take it to work, and park where it can NOT be seen. (DO NOT EVER ALLOW HIM FIND OUT)
Then tell him the bike is faulty. Do this 2 or 3 times. He will get the message.
It is cool to have him use your stuff (Could make you his favorite person), and you can easily get stuffs from him sometimes also.
It is Not cool, when he over uses you or the bike. Thats taking advantage.
Whichever way, Pls be diplomatic in your approach.
Cheers! Best advice I have seen a in while . I couldn't have advised him better |

OP please flee from this advice!!!! Op, don't flee from the advice. So many in experienced people are advising you. Even the unemployed who only have NYSC experience. You are actually sowing a seed that will benefit you in future. Unfortunately, we don't know the type of establishment you work in as it would have helped to assess the situation well. I believe your bike has a fuel gauge. If you believe you have exhausted what you boss has put in your tank, then keep the volume of the fuel low as good as empty so that anytime he wants to use the bike, both of you will have to visit a petrol station or else he can't use the bike. You will be arm twisting him to buy fuel. Telling him your bike is spoilt us like burning a candle at both ends. You'll bear the inconvenience of public transport and he will 'get the message' at you own peril. I left banking as a branch manager so I know what am talking about. Don't take the acclaimed wonderful advice. It will lead to your dislike and maybe outright sack. 1 Like |

Your advice doesn't seem balanced and I'm not sure you get the entire picture. The issue is that the employer feels that once he fuels the bike he must use all the fuel purchased and obviously ends up using more in addition to not bearing the cost of depreciation on the bike!
If the employer needs a bike he should buy one.
These things are common with one man enterprises and inhuman employers.
I remember a marketing job i got whereby foolishly used my vehicle for marketing purposes. It was being fueled weekly at first I didn't even consider or mind wear and tear on the vehicle. Next thing the MD started saying I was using the fuel for personal purposes. My boss had to ask if I was to park the car and trek because "official fuel" was in my car. Next thing they wanted me requesting for fuel allowance daily as opposed to weekly!
These are the type of employers that make their employees intent and hell bent on cheating plus duping them!
Wish we had better labour laws in this country

I have a very strong, brand-new bike. My employer has two cars. But whenever he wants to beat traffic on his way to a very important meeting or transaction, he would fuel my bike, and ask me to transport him.
Because of this, he feels his fuel is inside my bike, and would ask me anytime to take him out without refueling until whenever he thinks his fuel might have been exhausted. This is affecting me, as he uses more fuel than he buys, not to talk of wear and tear on, and depreciation of my bike.
How do I confront him politely? Pikin wey sabi die, him mama go sabi bury am Get an empty container of Eva water and fill it with fuel. Only pour in your fuel whenever you need it for personal use. Form a habit of saying no, and you don't have fuel |

Lovely! Best advice so far. Please OP, see this as your own contribution to the growth of the company. As you said, he only uses it when he only has very important meeting/transactions. This are still official assignment to get the company growing and also pays your salary. If you stop it, don't be surprised that he will get another bike and the struggle will still continue. You will be the one to regret at last because as time goes on you will begin to see yourself as an ungrateful fellow. Please be selfless, do it with joy and the almighty will reward you. Thank you I don't even feel he should use his personal resources as contribution to the growth of the company. Extra hours should suffice and ensuring that tasks are carried out to the best of his ability in addition to being proactive and so on. In saner climes employees don't use personal resources i.e. Vehicles, laptops etc to serve the company! It shouldn't be so. If there's an emergency and employee offers or is asked to use his bike or car that's different but not with the frequency that the OP has highlighted in his story. I'm passionate about this topic today because a former employer "cheated" me in this regard but life is a learning experience. I mean that boss of mine would say be ready to respond to mails and calls 24hours. No problem he then expected the employees to provide thier own device inclusive of laptops and data for this purpose all under the pretext of " going above the expected for the good of the company" bla bla bla! |

If that boss of yours is focused and becomes great, do you think he will forget his bike buddy? There is a high likelihood that he will. If the employer were a fair person in the first instance he will ensure that he fuels and provides a little extra towards maintaining the bike.
