Wow! Just read the full story.
Don't know how some Men reason, your Wife stabbed you, you went to the Hospital for treatment. Afterward, you came back to that same house to sleep.

During my NYSC, Ordinary ChiChi that came to my apartment, broke my TV cos I mistakenly fvcked her UNN roommate.
I didn't sleep in that house for 5days.

YoungExec:
Well, you all have shared ur experiences. Now let me talk from the other point of view.

Two things are constant:
1. Often times, we criticize the staff we find most valuable not because we hate them but becuse we expect better from them.
2. We invest time and resources into moulding them up. Often times we hire them as fresh inexperienced graduates and start brushing.

The problem a lot of people have is that they do not bring an air of professionalism to their jobs. They get too familiar or subservient to their bosses. Hence when you want to leave, the boss takes it personal. Sometimes too personal.

You may not realize it but the corporate space is not that big. Every boss knows another boss, who knows a boss that knows your new boss. An employer who feels slighted, who feels they invested a lot in you only for you to abandon them will track you. You will not know but trust me, it happens and sometimes, you may pay big time.

So bottom line is, I cannot employ you into my small company, see potential in you, groom and invest resources in you only for you to take it all and run to Shell or Chevron. That hurts. What happens is as you leave, you close the door of opportunity for the next person coming in to fill your position as I may not want to invest same.

Our HR dept keeps serious tabs on our staff and often let you go long before you decide to leave. How do we do so?
We have what we call the Base staff and the Echelon staff.

Base staff are dispensable, they are the muscles. Easily replaced. The moment a base submits a notice of resignation we do not hesitate to let you go.

Echelon staff on the other hand are the brains. They are the core. They posses full administrative and decision making powers. Without them, we will be out of business.

However, to ensure that we do not lose echelon staff:
1. We make it extremely attractive (Profit percentage pay, expense accounts, globe trotting, housing etc)
2. We make it extremely difficult to attain (high promotion review standards, acceleration for exceptional performance)
3. We make them stakeholders (they get stock options, full executive powers)

So far, it has worked and we have very low staff turnover simply because everyone sees the perks of being an echelon and aspires to attain it so they are willing to endure a lot of stuff until they get there.

My 2 cents.

lertee: Since it happened in Ibadan,it is most likely the work of 'awon iya ajibola edun' (terrestrial mothers),they now come like drones instead of birds..
