Mkpotu: working with you = Taking ownership is what every smart employer want in an employee but lacking in most nigeria employee/employer relationship...employee are drivers of the firm goals and objectives and can only do that effectively if they see that firm as theirs...i will employ those that wanna work with me than those that wanna work for me..those that work for me will most likely not care if my firm is collapsing provided that they can milk me dry... working for you = they see themselves as an outsider with nothing to lose aside their wage, they mostly wont care and never take ownership.. The major reason why blue-chip companies like shell, chevron,P&G, microfsoft,facebook will continue to soar is because they infuse into their onboarding for new hire the importance of ownership and as a result everyone see themselves as partake in the ownership of the company..infact they go as far as buying options for employee in the company shares which is only accessed when you retire... |

No mind thise idiots staffs that said "work with us" is pride Thats a big lie, work with us it the way to go, those trying to set the use of English between "work with us and work for us" are just looking for excuse to set some nonsense standard as to why they wouldn't employ them Normally! Work with us and work for you is just like comparing a LEADER to a BOSS, you work for a boss while you work with a leader but it's best for one to be seen a leader rathan than Boss for optimal result and productivity Mkpotu: |

What has Nairaland turned to? For somebody to bring a thread of 2010 in September 2021 is sickening. If there are no stories/ issues to discuss, why not shut down for a few days? |

Mkpotu: Look at ordinary peanut company, are you paying upto 500k a month? Even the white people I'm working with that pays 400-500k every week, even puts thanks and please when they are talking to me, I even call them by their names, nothing like sir, boss etc. I work with them, and I am an expert See pictures. In Nigeria everybody think they are king, be commanding nonsense |

Mkpotu:You lack exposure in your office. The correct phrase is "work with" not "work for". In a big Organization with different department working in synergy.....you work with others |

I use work with because I’m optimistic that I can provide skills and talent to the table to help build your organization and bring customers. I have seen companies make other choices instead of me and I never heard from them again Work for is just to earn the minimum wage no desire to change the status quo and challenge team members with your input |

It takes one on a gold collar status to work with an entity - assuming an associate or consultant position - while it takes one on a blue-collar or white-collar status to work for an entity - assuming a subordinate position. As a gold collar worker, you'll enjoy your rights to liberty to the fullest, provided that you live up to the terms and conditions of your engagement with the entity, but the same privilege can't be enjoyed by blue and white-collar workers. Well, I've chosen to be an entity and operate as one, and deal with gold collar, white-collar, and blue-collar workers. |

"Work for" sounds like slavery to me, while "Work with" sounds better. |

From my experience, work with is a formal term often used by consultants or third party experts to emphasize collaboration with the client. In short, it means to collaborate. For a prospective employee at an interview, it does not seem appropriate if you consider an applicant telling the interviewer: "I will collaborate with you/the company to achieve.." It actually does sound off as if the interviewee is in an external role and may come across as arrogant or misunderstanding of roles. Work with is appropriate to say for a prospective employee when the subject is about engaging with fellow employees or other departments in the same Company. But when the reference is to the Company itself as a whole, the appropriate term for a candidate is work for and not work with. And this has nothing to do with self-confidence but register. That you work for a company doesnt belittle you. Imagine Richard Quest saying he works with CNN, that's wrong, is he a contractor? He simply works for CNN. |

I THINK WORKING WITH SOMEONE SIMPLY MEANS YOU HAVE A STAKE IN THE ORGANIZATION LIKE HAVING A SHARE BEING PARTNERS; WORKING FOR IS THE CORRECT TERM FOR THOSE IN THE PAYROLL WHO JUST WORK FOR MONTHLY STIPEND YET IF SOMEBODY OUTSIDE ASK YOU WHERE ARE YOU WORKING, YOUR REPLY SHOULD BE AM WORKING WITH NOT AM WORKING FOR |
Re: Would You Rather "work For Somebody" Or "work With Somebody" by victons(m): 1:59pm On Sep 01, 2021 |
Working with is actually the right thing to say. |
