Who is your daddy? Is he rich like me?
Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by horny4u(f): 4:41pm On Aug 24, 2011
Working with Daddy is fantastic and having a 1st class shows hardwork and dedication.

But something is missing

You ability to prove yourself to you

In your shoes, I will work for a multinational for a few years even Dangote's daughter worked outside her dad's company for a few years and i hear she was sound.

You need a place where you can express yourself without the cushions and once you have learnt to take informed risk and listen to your intuition as well as manage and persuade people then you will be back with da company and you will be respected by your dad and all becos you are bringing with you , the skills and mindset of a hustler,

p.s what is suffering , will they ask you to knell down and raise up your hands and close your eyes at work, abegi

If ever having your father's true respect means anything to you, then i would recommend going off and being a man of his own means.

"working for daddy" might appear convenient at this time, but trust me, if you go down that road, you'll be "daddy's boy" even at 50, and thats not remotely a compliment.

I'm a girl, Does that make it more acceptable?

I'm looking for jobs in nigeria its so hard, Suffering as per ppl trying to demand nonsense from you in exchange for a job/promotion e.g sexual favours, Not cool! Even the job market is not really transparent, Vacancies and all. Considering masters in jand b4 looking to secure a better job, Not sure what u can get with a bsc as there are so many unemployed grads!

Do you just want to work for working sake?,, do you not have a dream?,
Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by WhyAWhy(m): 2:30am On Aug 25, 2011
Considering the fact that you actually want to prove yourself

The first thing is not to work for daddy, at least you've got something to fall back on if others seem to fail

First hussle, apply for jobs like every other person, do what your mates are doing, People are getting jobs without long leg and I guess if you know your onions well, you should.

When you prove yourself outside his company, returning to his company would earn you greater respect

on the alternative, start somewhere down the ladder in his company and merit your way up

Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by ologun01(m): 7:44am On Aug 25, 2011
Working For Daddy,

The +ve

1)u get a good pay, as in Daddy wld pay u well bt nt in all cases, as some Daddy's dnt pay their kids well(cos dey say gt u all u needed)
2)big office with big post(wich u might nt really deserve now)
3)all employees in d coy respect cos of u father nt dat u really deserve it
4)u get everthng u need either u deserve it or nt
and so on

The -ve
1) u dnt have a feel of wats like growing in d corporate world
2) daddy is always dere to say dis and dat nd sometimes, u idea or suggestion dnt count
3)evrybody in d coy looks at with the eye of omo daddy
and so on

Looking for job

well, u said u gt a 1st class, so i admit u must be good and therefore, shld be able to perform well in ny aptitude test or interview, nd who says u cnt get a job with a Bsc dat wld pay a montly salary of 500k(must be NLNG,Mobil etc) for a fresher to get dat oooo, cos i dnt knw ny oda industry dat pays dat high for entry, even with a Msc(u r nt guaranteed dat kind of pay in any industry xcept d big players in oil for entry)

My Advice

if u want Msc, u can go for it and as u r rounding off, start applying to coys, dats if u want to wrk outside daddy coys to look wat it feels like been given wrk to do nd commanded,

bt i tink its better if u wrk outside daddy coy 4 a while or better still, tell daddy to take u as an entry staff, start from d lowest rank in his coy and earn ur promotion, grow gradually in his coy, dis wld make u a better manager wen u finally take ova with ur bro

All d best

Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by mogbomoya: 8:56am On Aug 25, 2011
@Uju,
Why do I think I know you. i work for a one man business, and ur description fits in perfectly.
All my Oga's Kids work for him. And yea he has only one girl and the rest boys.
I really don't like how my Oga treats his kids. He cuts down their salary at will and talks to them anyhow. I feel the daddy/kids relationship is almost lost. Grudges here and there.
I had the option of working for my father, but I rejected it , am an only girl also.
Instead I went back for Masters, got a couple of yrs of work experience from NYSC in Nigeria and Abroad also.
I would consider working for my father in 5 years time, with that, his employees would respect me more and know that I deserve the position.

Uju, make sure you do your NYSC oh!

Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by vacancy2(f): 12:41pm On Aug 25, 2011
I think you really need to consider that on the long run, the business may be ceded over to your brothers, so you will be doing yourself a world of good to get to experience a bit of the real world out there. The idea of getting a postgraduate degree is good but you could also talk your dad into letting you start from the lower rungs of the company, without favours. That way, you will learn the ropes even better than your brothers, earn the respect of the employees and in the eventuality of you having to do something else other than this you will be properly equipped to cope in any other area of business. Get to work in all the departments.

Ok Uju, this is TMI! U'd be surprised what supposed strangers can do with all the info u have divulged thus far. . I hope ur sha not lonely (I detect some measure of loneliness in ur tone). . Sha easy and remain as anonymous as possible on the www, Anyone who has a clue as to who u r can piece d supplied info and run a "program" on u. .  undecided
Cheers!
Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by tpcom1(m): 12:54pm On Aug 25, 2011
UJU, In my opinion I consider work to be work.
What you will get outside Daddy's company may not be different in terms of experience, exposure, social and business skills.

In every form of work we have to deal with clients to be profitable. However, if you work for someone else, you put in your 100% and get paid a salary. Work for your self / family you get dividends in return.

I'd suggest stick to what you know, people / staff will see your quality if you are that focused and get the job done.

whats the point of rummaging the whole of Lagos / Nigeria looking for a job when you can build YOUR family busniess with your intellect, passion and enthusiasm. Afterall, its your dad's business and not your brothers, If your dad so chooses, he can delegate each person to look after a certain part of the company and not necessarily be to your disadvantage when he retires.

Besides, when you have your own family, being a BOSS means u have loads of free time to be with Hubby and Kids!, all the best.

Ps. loads of people who are currently working for an employer wish to quit their job anyway to do something they have a stake in, why quit yours.

Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by zander87: 1:21pm On Aug 25, 2011
I agree with tp. In addition, I would advise that you engage properly in your role and don't slack off. Learn as much as you can about the different aspects of the company's operations and gain solid achievement in the company. Your achievements will always be yours and people will respect you for them. You can always work on solving a problem, researching alternatives to key decisions or leading projects and judge yourself to the highest standards. After 2-4 years of experience, apply to a top 10 MBA program and finish that strongly and engage with your school. You can then work in a top consulting outfit like Mckinsey for as long as you like (1-3 years) and then return to the company with excellent business insights which would make you invaluable to the company.

My 2 cents.

All the best.
Re: The Best Things About Working For Daddy: by oknee: 3:25pm On Aug 25, 2011
U wil be more confident when u establish ur self out there, instead of being with daddy. U will be ur own man, no daddy to be following u everywhere with his shadows. Besides , ur family wil have more respect for u.
