PrecisionFx:You can call me any name but I'm not buying lies. Kogi is not in Europe but I can't leave what I'm doing to start going to kogi just to comfirm a lie from one anonymous nairaland liar. You can as well go to dangote flour mill and ask from one Mr korede Ahmed to comfirm if I am lying. Trash. |

It happens all the time in poor structured organization (one man business) and it's sad. Most times that subordinate of yours knows and even disrespects you. Money is powerful. I worked for a company who recruited someone who is grossly incompetent and was paying him 5times what they were paying the incumbent. The guy messed them up. The guy has sweet mouth sha. Don't leave until you are sure of the new place work conditions . Northeast is a very dangerous place to work. So just a better salary is not enough. |

I think what you need is patience and a little matter of time,wait till 6 months and renegotiate with ur employer their next action will determine what u will do then |

kellykessy: LOL. Even in almighty Stanbic Bank, you can earn more than your Supervisor. Pay is not necessarily a function of who is Manager, but negotiating power, scarcity of skill-set (the scarcer, the better), and employment terms. There is a good reason why Staff employed on fixed tenure basis earn more: the company is guaranteed that they would perform xx tasks within their time at the firm, as opposed to a permanent Staff, who may, or may not continue to increase his/her value addition to the firm over time. In several scenarios in service industries, your subordinate would earn more money than you: if you work in Insurance, and your subordinate is a certified actuarial (most are hired from outside Nigeria by the way), he would earn more money than you; you are an IT Manager, and your subordinate is a certified SAP guy on a contract basis, responsible for deploying the ERP across your firm, he would earn more money than you. etc. |

I think you should be glad you have access to this info. Your MD is a good person for not collecting your resignation. Nobody is indispensable. If you resign, dude will fill your role, get a higher salary (migrating from contract to full staff) and they will employ someone to assist him resulting to lower expense for the company. For the guy to command such salary, he may even be better than you are and may qualify for the office you occupy. Advice? Like others gave advised, stay put. At least you are sure of very good salary increment in 6 months. Remember that if they were going to increase your salary, it will be about 20% but now, you can command 50% to 60% since your subordinate earns 40% more than you. Secondly, up your game so that you can negotiate in six months. Sudokudon: |

So what actually is your problem? you have already submitted your resignation letter without finding out the other company's pay. So if they pay you an amount lower than your current pay would you accept?. Blame yourself for not having a bargaining power. BTW what makes you think that you're better than your assistant. I wish they will even replace you with him. |

Where I worked before, a guy 3 years my junior from the same school and faculty earns way above me and had an official car. I did not begrudge him because I get what I bargained for. It pays to mind your business in all matters. |

Ucheamani:, I don't blame you given the unemployment statistics in Nigeria. if you were to be living in a society with low level of unemployment like Canada, you would not think twice before forwarding your resignation letter. |

Jarus: Thanks for that piece. What makes it worse is that the conflict was getting too often. He was planted there briefly by one of the board members and he wasn't that skilled in that line and yet always wanting to have the final say over any issue, yet expect me to take full responsibilities. |

LegitBoy: You know I took the most stupid decision because you are my father or you know all the details? Job satisfaction comes first for me before any other thing. What's the basis of waiting impatiently till month end just for salary? 8 years ago, when I started my career, it could have been the most stupid decision, not now. Even if I don't get a full time job, I will get consultancy work. And if you read it well, money was the secondary reason, not the first, otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed 5 more months. Oversabi. |

nams77: I understood we were interviewed for the same job and came a distant 4th. That is not his core field, has lesser experience also. I have always shot myself in the foot bargaining for salary. I think I need a training on that lol |

9japrof: It is not stupidity or insecurity. It was one of the top management staff that informed me and I didn't have problem with it. The main challenge was with work not necessarily the pay. I would have waited a year if it was just about the pay. You can imagine the MD saying both of us should be reporting to him. The same work, duplicity of work, different approach to issues. There are four aspects of the work, he is good and better in one and that's the reason they employed him and I have exclusively made him.in charge of it, I only advise. But the other three where he doesn't even have idea of, he will always be coming with conflicting issues and the full responsibilities come to you. My reason for resignation is deeper. And next time, you don't judge my intentions if you haven't worked I. my shoes. |

nwaimoroseyaho: Let them replace me with him now? what's the big deal? Nobody is irreplaceable but you don't buy experience in market. You can't compare my 8 years experience with his 4 years non-relevant experience to the role. |

12submarine: Not only nonsense, you didn't put the ingredients? Why will I swap with him when the reason I was brought in was to fix the challenge the firm was facing. We were also interviewed for the same job and he came fourth. So, are you saying I should have preferred to be fourth than first? Where is your brain? Nonsensical ingredient lol |

PrecisionFx:Okay, I also believe yours, I don't need to start going to kogi state in search of one Engr Bassey Efa to comfirm that an NCE holder in Arabic studies who is a Secretary earns much higher than the chief engineer in a power generation company because the NCE holder is a northerner while the chief engineer is a southerner. |
