GboyegaD:
Unfortunately, my thoughts about this staff thing differs a bit. Many times, I feel people cheat because they are not paid their worth. An employee who is paid at least his/her worth wouldn't jeopardize their job.

That said, you know how best to handle your situation and should you hire more middleman going by SeaTrade's position, you are going to increase your overhead cost and might not impact your profit as much as you desire.

Lastly, it is not fair how you talked about the [b]single lady. There is no need shaming her for not being married. You have issues with her and you think that is her challenge however, while you [/b]could be right, you might not be as well.

In it all, I wish you great success.

I'm sorry how I talked about her.i think I should edit that comment.
Thanks!

Haba! Wetin you do thr girl. She nor just try at all. Nor kill her sha.

Lolzzzzzzzzzz @the killing.pls it hasn't gotten to that extent.

The OP must be Igbo with the chest-beating tone of this write-up.

Referring to an employee of her's as "my worker". Arrogant mofo!

Some people just have the habit of insulting others just because they wanted to give an almighty advice....so many careless words here and there...

How the matter go this morning?

Lol you are still very naive.
I run my business like a cartel,I am very careful of any of my rent-a-nigga-a-day employees knowing the Ins and outs of my business.
I scatter it so much so that even a supercomputer will be confused.
The one thing I don't do is trust,and I was built with this inborn paranoia that makes me to think people are always after me,or in this case my business, So I am always running and is always ahead of any possible threat's thought even though no one is chasing.
Rule number one;
have no steady team,everyone is replaceable and subject to movement.Even If you can afford to,but just don't do so to keep trade secrets a secret.
And avoid working with people who think they are smart and ambitious.If you are so smart,create your own business,no come dey form Einstein on a person's trade that took sweat and blood to build so you can become his/her competition .Bleep that!
Pay people well,'not so smart' people will always get comfortable with what they presume is huge as what you give them,they get comfortable ,relent and literally turn off their brains and become something worse than a slave,this is good
Better to have a controllable dummy working for you than a genius,geniuses are very smart and they pick things fast and sooner than later,they start seeing reasons why they can be the next you.
Discuss and interact very well with your people,when you smell so much knowledge from a person,let him/her go ASAP.That is a very huge threat you are harbouring in the name of employee,run very fast.
2)Nobody that works with you should meet your customer's directly from the source,
There should be one guy that delivers to another guy that is also very lost who in turn delivers to the client,and different people keep meeting the guys that deliver to clients daily,so there is no one to tell you where the product is coming from,because yes,you are all confused.If you don't confuse them and use same people always,it is very easy for them to connive and steal or maybe redirect your client(s) to other sources,so yes,leave them confused.That's one thing you should be very good at,confusing people and leaving them lost!!
3) Don't relax!!All big clients(fear people with money,they have a lot of options.All they need is to know what you know and then Bleep you over) should be served by you and you only,small clients can be served by others because they wouldn't fight through all that confusion just to win those small people whose survival is at your mercy because they don't have money,
So if at all they succeed to bypass your firewall,where them want see money to use run deal with your conniving ass employee huh?
When you are chasing them like a hawk to make sure they pay old debt very fast and collect more credit so as to remove purchasing power they will use to patronise your competition from their hands.

It is stressful,but it was worth it.
You are lazy,and not very smart.You are part of the people dependent on an imaginary figure to succeed.Wake up,it is not real.
Taking your girl that you must have foolishly let her know everything about your business to meet your client was a very daft move.Why was she tgere ffs?
Next time,you go see the client ALONE,make the deal ALONE,bring the workload and share with your girl in a place far from your marketshare,then take the product to the client alone,get paid alone and move!!That way even if you are expensive,there is no hungrier person to cut a lesser deal with the client on your fee.
What we're you thinking?gosh!!
The only time you can relax in business and rely on employees is when you own /control supply or have solid trade pacts with supply,no be any small thing employee this,employee that,unto big madam weh you be na,now them don dey show big madam shege banza mana ,madam is pained.

Jolomenas:

I'm asking because I have a business where I'm shortchanged also. I want to know the reason why employees do the things they do. In my line of work, it's easy for my staff to take over my customers so I do my best to protect the business.

Moreover, learn to mind your business. It'll pay you more.

Some of you will just sit down and type rubbish. Well what do one expect from a tribalistic human being. She clearly referenced her tribe in the first post on this thread but how will you pick up on it when all you see is tribalism. She clearly also said English isn't her best asset. What is an employee by the way? Aren't her employees her workers? See why I said tribalism has eaten into your skull you can't see well. Na employee and 'my workers' and your tribalistic foolishness you dey use gauge if she is proud or not. Nonsense and ingredients

Everybody just dey fight everybody for this thread.

Redpillar:


Why is every ill attitude from a single lady blamed on her marital status? If she were married, what would we say?


Read through your thread. One of the greatest problems business owners face is getting honest employees.

Can you imagine, reason why some people kill without thinking twice. I know is not easy to gather ideas together n resources to make things out of it. You're favor, so don't rub it on someone face. Her marital status has nothing to do with her dubious acts. The sale girl was vr heartless to have contacted the man secretly.

Getting honest and loyal staff is one of the most difficult things you can ever acheive as a trader.

A lot are out there to jeopardize your business.

For businesses like yours where it's hard to track, it's almost impossible to track such sales if you are not physically there as inventory is hard to record.

Your only bet is to let them know nobody is indispensable, if matter pass garri involve police one a while to shaken them up.

I can relate to what you are saying coz I have dealt with a case personally

SeaTrade:
Lol you are still very naive.
I run my business like a cartel,I am very careful of any of my rent-a-nigga-a-day employees knowing the Ins and outs of my business.

Rule number one;
have no steady team,everyone is replaceable and subject to movement.Even If you can afford to,but just don't do so to keep trade secrets a secret.
And avoid working with people who think they are smart and ambitious.If you are so smart,create your own business,no come dey form Einstein on a person's trade that took sweat and blood to build so you can become his/her competition .Bleep that!
Pay people well,'not so smart' people will always get comfortable with what they presume is huge as what you give them,they get comfortable ,relent and literally turn off their brains and become something worse than a slave,this is good
Better to have a controllable dummy working for you than a genius,geniuses are very smart and they pick things fast and sooner than later,they start seeing reasons why they can be the next you.
Discuss and interact very well with your people,when you smell so much knowledge from a person,let him/her go ASAP.That is a very huge threat you are harbouring in the name of employee,run very fast.
2)Nobody that works with you should meet your customer's directly from the source,
There should be one guy that delivers to another guy that is also very lost who in turn delivers to the client,and different people keep meeting the guys that deliver to clients daily,so there is no one to tell you where the product is coming from,because yes,you are all confused.If you don't confuse them and use same people always,it is very easy for them to connive and steal or maybe redirect your client(s) to other sources,so yes,leave them confused.That's one thing you should be very good at,confusing people and leaving them lost!!
3) Don't relax!!All big clients(fear people with money,they have a lot of options.All they need is to know what you know and then Bleep you over) should be served by you and you only,small clients can be served by others because they wouldn't fight through all that confusion just to win those small people whose survival is at your mercy because they don't have money,
So if at all they succeed to bypass your firewall,where them want see money to use run deal with your conniving ass employee huh?
When you are chasing them like a hawk to make sure they pay old debt very fast and collect more credit so as to remove purchasing power they will use to patronise your competition from their hands.

It is stressful,but it was worth it.
You are lazy,and not very smart.You are part of the people dependent on an imaginary figure to succeed.Wake up,it is not real.
Taking your girl that you must have foolishly let her know everything about your business to meet your client was a very daft move.Why was she tgere ffs?
Next time,you go see the client ALONE,make the deal ALONE,bring the workload and share with your girl in a place far from your marketshare,then take the product to the client alone,get paid alone and move!!That way even if you are expensive,there is no hungrier person to cut a lesser deal with the client on your fee.
What we're you thinking?gosh!!
The only time you can relax in business and rely on employees is when you own /control supply or have solid trade pacts with supply,no be any small thing employee this,employee that,unto big madam weh you be na,now them don dey show big madam shege banza mana ,madam is pained.

Terrible.

What you don't get is that you can never gate keep knowledge forever. What you are hiding can be learned elsewhere.

When I hire people I make I teach the smart ones as much as I can so that they can also grow and we can have a more prosperous society. Guess what? It has never removed a dime from my income. Instead, I'm growing.

You are a Mafia.


Have you read "Mafia Manager".

dingbang:
Omo.. Nothing better than doing this business yourself or supervising it daily. I am an employer of labour and trust me, humans will always cheat whether they are religious or not.

Cheating is inevitable bcoz the employers also contribute. You will see someone raking money in tune of millions per month but paying his or her office assistant 40k. Is that not wickedness?

ahnie:
Inspite of her short coming and thievery, she's a very hard-working lady and thats a virtue that I admires.

As a street woman...I know that every paint of beans(akara)whichs is 20cups gets me a profit 7500 if we'll managed.lowest 6500 as profits that's if not we'll stirred and scooped.

For everything can of liquid milk sold I get a profit of #50 and so on,but madam has bn short changing me which isn't really any big deal.

Imspite the fact that she uses my hustle to play love with her small small teddy bear boyfriends I still gave her long rope.

I was there a certain evening Cox I have stopped going to everything hustleon other to have time for my family.

I was there one evening and I saw a certain lean idiot serving beans himself from the cooler.i walked up to him and gave him a very brain resounding slap.

The straw that broke the carmels back today....infact since this week Monday I just don't know what's happening to me,seems village people yaff visited my matter.

I shut down my mini barbeque business due to fraud from the guy that works for me on Monday and now my girl decided to short cornered me Cox of a business deal.

Sowie. Such a sad experience. I pray your business is restored.
Btw, pls try to work on how you recruit people. Competence and expertise is good but character is even better.

ahnie:
I just Taya for human being...
I had a deal that I was suppose to honor this Friday...only for my girl to pass back and just scattered everything.

Why do they always blame the devil?like seriously did the devil appeared to you and told you to be greedy?

Work we had planned to do for 4 days,and I ve done my calculations, miscellaneous and what have you,my madam went back,told the man she would do it for a more lesser amount.

I was expecting a down payment this noon,so as to make purchases,only for the man to tell me whatagwan.

Lol...
This one really loud..I ve have bn crying for some hours now,but even the tears no gree come from my eyes .

But i know say I go dey alright last last..

Don't stress yourself over it. If you are good at what you do and you know your onions very well, bigger deal is coming.
No two people can cook same way, you are unique and your cooking mode and methods distinguished you.
The client that came won't trust your girl a bit, even though he gave her the job because of the reduction in the cost. But the quality of the food and the reception of the food from the workers will definitely give the girl away and unqualified person.
Mark my word, the man is coming back to tell you tales of how horrible the girl is. When it happened, sympthatise with him and make him know that he encouraged the act of betrayal by his action.
I have seen many so called smart people shortchanged themselves by acts like this, they believe since their boss can do it and the are the "engine room" of the work, they too can do it and they go out sabotaging their boss.
But in the end, they fail woefully.
Let me encourage you by referring to study what happened between these trio: King Sunny Ade, Bob Aladeniyi and Chief Abioro...It's an interesting intrigue of betrayal at the highest level. But who laugh last!
Do the research and learn .

God be with you.

The client is erecting some blocks of bungalow and his labourers are from the north.and people from that region my products are their main meals.

After the discussion,I collected his number and sent my bank details to him and bid him farewell.


Babe collected his number ..how I don't know.she must have crammed it when he was calling it out to me.

I dey today dey expect alerts so to go do some purchases.when my wait got tired of waiting,I called him.he spilled the beans how my girl told him she would do it for a far lesser amounts.

Utensils she no get o...not even one.so how the hell In the devil's name she go take run nam...I don't know.

I am patiently waiting up her to show up in my house tomorrow morning....hey Good.i comment my reserve.

Every Biz has it secret.....it the knowledge of the secret that keeps u 10sreps ahead of your employees......the moment u lose guard and allow an employee to discover the secrets......u are no longer the Boss

Non of your employees are happy u are incharge collecting the cash regardless of how nice u are to them......it human nature......it natural to be ambitious

So like a folks said, confuse your employees on the Biz structure......never allow a staff have a knowledge of the Biz structure not to talk of direct contact with your client......am talking of SME Biz though.

So madam, go learn to own yur trade by making amends.....I learn from that long posst
