Xtianah09: He shouldn't do that just yet.. I think the best approach for him is to discuss it with his ogas at area and state level, let them be the ones to advice him. The fact say you no fit do evil no mean say others no go fit. He should watch his back at this stage except he has selina. May evil arrows not have power over us. |

Congratulations to you... First of all, let off the phobia. It is the prayers you have being asking God to do for you. Secondly, be dedicated to your work. Administratively, write to the said superior letting them to know you have not being receiving their reports due to the policy, rules and regulations of the institution. If they refused to comply let the management aware of development... Do not be incarceration with them at all. Good luck and God protection upon you |

Have a formal meeting with them to discuss work challenges & moving forward, if they refuse to key to the plan, query them first time without copying your superior, if they still remain adamant, issue a second query and inform them that you will copy your boss, and if they don't turn up, issue the third one and copy your bosses because, if you were in their shoes, that's what they would do.

The people who gave you that position are either daft or wants to pit you against those superiors. This is why. Before telling a junior to handle a position, you need to remove his superiors and mates from that department, else, you would risk insubordination. The people who put you there should have transferred those your superiors to another zone or another department. Let me tell you, NOTHING would make them outrightly obey you, in fact, if any one of them starts obeying you wholely, you should be suspicious. If you have a way, insulate them and get your results. Don't try to force them, it can backfire, don't attempt to turn them to friends, you would be shooting yourself on the leg. If you can't insulate them, keep everything official. Avoid issuing query, avoid it, let any query going to them come from their superiors. There is more to life that office politics. 3 Likes |

Because you are bound to only see things based on your past experiences you believe that whatever situation is alien to you is impossible. So let me paint a scenario for you. His boss had noticed those 6 fellows have an attitude and knows he cannot fire them without cause so he has chosen to humiliate them out of office. OP has shown some good traits that the boss likes and that has made him a tool in his boss's plans. If you could read btw the lines you would have understood that OP does not know how to play the Game of Thrones. He is a genuine fellow who appears in over his head. Alusiizizi: 2 Likes |
Re: I Was Promoted Ahead Of My Superior by VULCAN(m): 3:36pm On Feb 16, 2022 |
OP, you have received sound advise here about copying your boss when you mail these fellows. Start immediately and the first headline should be Refusal to submit reports. State it respectfully that anyone who does not submit all previous reports along with the new ones should expect a query by so so and so date. Make sure you keep your boss in the loop privately about all their moves cos those guys are going to try and set you up. But if your boss knows all the gimmicks they are up to nothing will come out of it. But don't whine like a baby or he will think you don't have what it takes. And finally get yourself some spiritual covering. Identify at least 2 genuine ministers who operate in the prophetic to speak into your life so that whatever those guys try to do spiritually will bounce back. I said ministers not babalawo ooh! 2 Likes |

Asquare84: You are already a superior to your seniors in the job What you need now is wisdom They are not happy and cab set you up with out notice Just manage them the way you can manage bad friends Ignore any attempt from them to pull you down Don't query them They are not ready to report to you, so if they don't report to you, ignore that part until your own immediate boss observes that by himself Don't do the mistake of reporting them to any one The will finally be the one to report themselves But if you can't cope, you can seek a transfer so far you can still perform the same task another place As it is now, your job safety and life is the most important thing for you 1 Like |

Asquare84: Tact. Tact. Tact. There is office politics everywhere you go. Your concern should be 100% on delivering the job. If your SOP requires someone sends a monthly request. Call them first to ask that their reports is due and you would appreciate if they can send it to you. There is a way you can speak with authority but still respect the receiver of the request. I have had to make requests from people far and above my level. Call ahead and ask them. Then follow up with an email after the time they promised delivery. It comes with managing your job responsibilities. If there is a project, call them first and get their input. Respect each person, their thought processes and argue only on t*he facts and not the persons opinion. You need to be very open and flexible about things. Anyone of them that does a bit of work positively or shows alignment to your goals. Try publicly praising them for the job. You have to overcompensate. Your success in that role would hinge on handling/managing all conflicting emotions and egos. Don't start off with sending queries up and down. You would set yourself up for a toxic work environment and i can guarantee you. You would not gain much traction with such. |

Asquare84: Congratulations! You got that promotion because you deserved it. Top management chose you over those lobbying because they trust your work and worth... Do not put them to shame. Do your work diligently. Do not command respect from your former bosses, earn. Treat them with respect but do not be complacent with any form of insubordination or lacklustre behaviour from them. Above all, pray and be wise! |

Re: I Was Promoted Ahead Of My Superior by frog12: 4:34pm On Feb 16, 2022 |
try to understand your new responsibility and get advise from your peers if you have any. i worked in a bank before in one operation department with 10 people or more. there was a supervisor. i think i was one of the better experienced staff but somehow the supervisor informed the others to provide information to one of our peers without my knowledge. i saw everyone going to him like he was their boss and i was wondering what was going on. he suddenly came to me and started giving orders verbally in disrespectful manner. i simply told him the info is to be given to the supervisor. he stopped misbehaving after, and was warned by his other office friends to be afraid of me. the lesson is, respect your former superiors and just tell them you don't know why you were promoted. so they'll understand. don't give them orders in public, maybe in a private chat room or software, and in a nice way. always do it in a joking way. the tough part is team meeting where the RM may want to observe i have other stories of backstabbing where even the director take sides but be prepared, and even be prepared to resign (if you think you are right) 1 Like |

Re: I Was Promoted Ahead Of My Superior by Originalsly: 4:36pm On Feb 16, 2022 |
You were recommended... you were picked ... which is it? If you were promoted to a position ... you are expected to perform well there. Know your job description.... know those of your subordinates and what is expected of them. Stop looking face ... let every man bear his weight ... if he's not up to par... call him in your office and let him know exactly what you want. Theybwill try to undermine you .... take corrective action to set a tone. Make an example of a stubborn one ... go to your superior and recommend demotion for him... the rest will automatically become team players. If you allow them to be... you will be seen as unfit for the position and soon be cast back down where they will make life miserable for you. |

VULCAN: You know, the one thing about (most)Nigerians is that they would rather believe in fantasy than lend ear to the truth. They quickly believe in that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and scorn you if you try to tell them the truth, that the rainbow that they are looking at never actually touches the earth and has no end. Ready to believe that the sun rises from the west as long as it comes along with good fortune. You for example, you have no idea who this OP is, not even his real name and yet not only did you buy every letter of his story about being promoted over six superiors in a row because of dreamed-up "capabilities"(an extremely unlikely situation even in a sane country), you even take it upon yourself to be his de-facto mouthpiece, coming to his defense when I doubt credibility. |
Re: I Was Promoted Ahead Of My Superior by Dagr8tosyn: 4:43pm On Feb 16, 2022 |
Please be humble, the promotion is a test of your faith and humility, don't issue query to anyone of them, don't beg them to report to you, do a mail with instruction on when to send the weekly or monthly report and whoever fail to do same and did not notify you ahead or any of the team to cover up let such person's appraisal have a comment saying (He fail to report activities on the Job frequently and may be advise to join another team) Simple. Let them know its a team work, you are only there to work and their corporation is utmost to achieving the team goal as you cant do it all (This is diplomacy). Be wise with them and avoid argument as much as possible. You will win with prayers ok. |
