Will it be correct to call his salary the monthly maintenance?
Cheers.

Exactly what it is, obviously like other machinery, he is not bringing in flow to the company monthly.

They will all be serviced as at when due from in flow generated in the past.

Therefore shifting his expenses from OPEX to CAPEX.

Hello Guys, I know this is not typical of Nigerians to complain of getting paid without doing tangible work. As for me , am not comfortable with it but it seems no way out for me.
I am a very ambitious Mechanical Engineer with experience in various sections within the discipline because I have been working before graduation. Have both HNd and B.Eng. background. You know what that means.

I have been working in an Engineering firm for 6 years now but I have a big issue. I have been soo redundant for about 2 years now at my place of work. No sack, salaries paid as at when due, no project forthcoming and we are resume to work everyday. I have tried to get in touch with the management on we can diversify our operations maybe we can use our resources to get jobs outside our scope but all effort were futile.
I have considered leaving because staying their doesn't add value to me anymore. New jobs are not forthcoming.
Honestly I feel am sitting on a gun powder which I feel will blow one day. Even if this coy has so much money in the reserve, one day the money will finish.

Within this two years I have done some personal development training of Project Management, Maintenance Engineering and Managent because those are areas I love so much and would want to development myself privately. I had MNSE and COREN during this period hoping things will get better and I will move on. Up till now, nothing is forthcoming o. I am bothered. 2 years gone without doing anything and am getting paid. Pls am afraid. Resigning is not an option because I have bills to pay. Their not considering sacking anyone which means we will all remain their. Jobs are not forthcoming . Many interviews no reply . some would say am over qualified while I need to change job asap. Pls I need advice.


Get another job because firing u won't be difficult.

Meanwhile that company is a fraud, there are making money in illegal ways u don't understand.

No private company can pay u for 2 years without work.

How do you feel when you bring tribal bigotry to an important discussion like this? Sincerely,life is more than being driven by the superiority of a tribe over others. It should be an intellectual expression not the other way round. Shalom

Nice one from you.
Thanh God for the job at hand i will advise you to channel your energy into personal biz/consultancy for Engineering firms/Engineers while collecting salary from your current job as shock absorbed. Resignation isn't an optio5in present day Nigeria.
Better still registere your own firm and seek for jobs on the side to enrich your company profile till it grows to a stage where you are fully needed
Cheers

This is why Nigeria is going down.

Engineering firms paying idle Engineers for years unending. I also spotted this anomaly during my industrial internship.

What such firms need are PRODUCT MANAGERS.

A product manager identifies a product for the company team to manufacture, introduces the product to the management team. Works with the engineering team from concept to design, sample production, testing, forecast, cost, mass production, sales strategy, support, end of product life.

There are many products that engineering firms can produce to make money. Please if you are a CEO of an idle ENGINEERING FIRM, contact me on Consultancy to start up set up a ROADMAP and start up a PRODUCT LINE for your firm.

I could guide your company in PAINT MANUFACTUTING, PLUMBING, PALLETE ASSEMBLY, BLENDING OF ENGINE OIL and FABRICATION OF AGRIC INPUT tools and machines.

Alot of companies need your services.

Do not feel your company has the money to continue paying idle workers, you are on the road to bankruptcy even if the money is coming from the FG, its.unhealthy for the economy. Lets all be patriotic.

O boy fleee. Because after redundancy you will be declared surplus to requirements.

Can't imagine leaving home everyday to work without doing anything tangible and you close at the same time others are closing and yet when your wife or someone welcomes you back from work and you still have the guts to reply thanks you....... Hahaahah
O boy something is wrong. Uno is you're not doing something, something is actually doing you.

In real life, theories are for guidance only.

He is seen as a machine now not a staff. He must be serviced and periodic maintenance job must be done on him, monthly.

His salary has been earned long time ago by the company, he is just been paid in tads, that is monthly.

The company is temporary out of operations, no operational in flow of funds.



Wonderful explanation. However, for the purpose of Accounting, it would be classified as OPEX.

Thanks so much.

Not for 2 years sir.

Even oil companies n oil servicing firms in nigeria didn't wait for 2 years to lay off workers wen the price of oil went so low.
