Hmmmm, if you return the money straight to him you are gone, but you can use it to buy goods and add to the shop, in that way he would not know. Once you show him the money he will loose trust in you and may even sack you without settlement. Be wise |

don't return the money keep it, in case some of they oga's doesn't settle easily and if you return that Money to him it will surely hunt you because your oga won't trust you again.i have been there and I still regret my actions of returning the money.use it to better your business even if he doesn't settle you. |

Nnnaam, you are a very brave man. I admire your move in terms of taking up the road which is less traveled.
For the fact that you even managed and get to know about Nairaland, I can assure you one thing__you have a glorious Destiny ahead of you, don't let anything to ruin it for you.
You, I am telling you this because I have trailed the same path and was at some point found myself in this same situation.
I served my boss for 7years. Before leaving for the apprenticeship,it was agreed that I was only going to spend 5 years. Which later protracted to 7 good years of service doing harrd labour.
By the time when it got to the point where I was supposed to get settled and boss had no plans for me, I became very skeptical and worried and also lost trust in all his promises.
I felt that a man who can not abide by a general agreement, regardless of how big you are should not be trusted...so I had to start making way for myself just in case he wake up one day and accuse me of something which I didn't do.
Long before I met him, he was in one of the informal market running a struggling subsistence food stuff business under a lockup shop.
By the time I left him, with my God given initiative, I managed to grow his business into a busy supermarket outlets with seven branches scattered across Abuja municipal area council with turnover and compounded annual revenue reaching over a billion Naira.
All this while, I never bothered to steal or save his money. I was always contended with what is made available per time not until it got the point when I was supposed to be settled and his failed to honour his own promise and agreement.
I began saving some money based on some runs and sharp practises I did in the course of the business operations. I was able to save up about 3m in the first year which was supposed to make it six years and business was moving very well regardless of what was happening
On the second year of my post Steward service which was the 7th on his own calendar, my heart was very troubled and I had to reinvest the money back in his business, on which we did exceptionally well by the end of the year's business cycle and exactly the year which he settled me.
Guess how much he gave me:
1.5m! Which was barely enough to secure me a shop in the same shopping complex not to even talk of procuring inventory and buying up the needed facility to be used in setting up the place.
The story is too long but let me make is short...
It's been two years now since I got settled but I can assure you that my business is far more doing better in terms of cash flow, than I left him, and as well, I have been able to secure three more outlets within this shortest period of time and have more people working for me than I left him.
What's the moral lessons here:
1. Put your trust in God and believe 100% that he will always be there for you regardless whether your boss settles you properly or not.
2. Do not soil your hands just because of some partly amount of money which won't even make any meaning to you later in life. Don't loose your garden because of a little apple.
3. Saving money which do not belong to you has a psychological effect on the servants than it does to the masters. You won't even know how it will happen, but it will surely come back to haunt you.
4. If your boss isn't treating you well and you are skeptical about your chance of success in life after settlement.. don't steal from him, rather devise a sustainability plan that would cement you in the heart of your customers, suppliers, market neighbors and well wishers.
Do all these and you will be surprised as to where God will take you few years after your settlement. Don't bother about the bleakness of the economy, you must certainly come out strong and well informed and ready to take the market by the strom.
PS: Let me know if you need further advice on how to navigate your way through the apprenticeship service.
Your future is bright, don't loose it please. God bless you! I was blessed by your wise counsel. May God increase you and your business and family. This is refreshing |
