That post was typed in the heat of anger. I've deleted it.

May your business grow and may your generosity grow with it.

Cheers.

I have a policy I feel every employee should always stick with.

This policy is, it is either I put in 100% of efforts and time into my job or I resign.

If I feel the pay is way less than I should be earning, I rather resign than not putting in my best or result to sharp practices.

My friend owns liquor store, sells hundreds of thousands a day but accountability is never easy, he caught one of his boys stealing a pack of andre(4500x6),on arresting him he discovered his its been going on for long, a boy on 20k salary has been lodging in 25k per night hotels, on checking his phine, he de use drink of 60k wash hand for club, dey carry different gitls up an down, using 180k iPhone still bought same phone for a girl..


Do you know the number of Nigerian companies that used thousands of Dollars to send the staff abroad for two to three years training with the expectation the staff will work for them for at least 10 years, all of a sudden when the stuff is done he decides that he is bigger than the job and leaves, do you think the company would ever try that with anyone else workers are the most poisonous of all, generally they don have pity, they would steal until the business crashes.

Crafteck1:


The policies were based on trust.

I won a contract sometime in 2018, hired a team of 25 well paid experts and a couple of maladroit workers who we prefer to call labours. During the project, one of my staff cornered a potential contract that I had been pursuing. A contract that was worth at least #24m. He accepted to execute the project for 13m, and was paid a mobilisation of 6.5m to commence.
To cut the story short, this very Yoruba snitch did a bad job, wasted materials and couldn't deliver 1/10th the project. He later begged me to help him finish up the project but the amount he bargained was far below par. Ebn the cost of workmanship alone was worth more. He was later arrested, detained and currently serving at Ikoyi prison. As a kind-hearted Man from the east, I've been working arduously to get him out on bail. The bail is 5.3m, and I'm confident he'll be out soon.
Though I still hobnob with Yoruba guys, but I ensure it's done with at least a 3.3km long spoon

GloriousGbola:


That is stealing. Go and create your own business then. You are using your dad's investment, assets and infrastructure.

If you think it is so easy go and pay rent, buy machines, get contacts, get employees, pay bills, settle authorities

I am outlining this because you are a thief even if you want to pretend you are a sharp hustler

Does anyone knows how I can find my way to Jibowu from Ajah please, by public bus

HUSTLER001:
The boy caught is stupid! I remember when i use to run my late dad beer palour.On weekends we make the most sales&that is when i apply wisdom.I remeber back then,when you sell three crates of beer,the profit on top of it is enough to buy one crate.So, i buy one crate with the profit and make my personal profit before replacing the crate of beer.So,i'm doing dads biz and also doing my biz and in the end no one is cheated. A mutual association is attained and the record book is balanced.

25k a month as a manager?

Are you and your wife wicked?

somehow:
In 2014/2014, 2 staff crashed $3000 belonging to a client then, got to know very late because it was on a Friday and I was busy outside Lagos.

Discovered the next day but couldn't do anything about the losses until Monday.

Fired them thereafter.

Employed one few months later to replace the 2 but gave him just 10% portfolio of what was previously lost to see what he could do.

3 months later, we made nothing from his table, he kept the capital intact with no profit/loss but overhead cost and his weekly allowance wasted.

Had to let him go too.

Business in Nigeria is tough.

AgentGoat:


What type of business is this?

udemzyudex:


You're doing dad's business,is he making profit from what you just analyse now cos you're the one taking the profit.

Yet when you open your own business and things don't go the way you plan,you start blaming the devil and forget the law of karma.

perambulator:


you are stealing/cheating because you deliberately have not informed your boss (Dad) that actually his business has the capacity for 4 crates, instead you denied him access to the profit from the 4th crate which his business can handle.......so you have stolen from him. The fact that he didnt know does not make it anything other than theft.

This is the problem with Nigerian staff, if they are not damaging your business, they are preventing it from growing. you cant even trust your own child, talk less strangers. The idiot thinks he is sharp not knowing he is bringing curses upon himself.

wreckormend:


Still dubious. Those profits you made aren't still yours. The freezer that got the drinks chilled isn't yours. The power, the sound, the environment belongs to your dad. You ripped him off under the guise of being business savvy. You were nothing but a crook. Try this with me, better don't get caught, lest, the aftermath will be too sour to be told

DenreleDave:
You are as stupid as the boy the OP mentioned if you think u av done well You people will just comment nonsense..

you don't have sense! The 170 people that liked my reply understand better.

I had a fair of bad employee. I hired an underperformer.

I decided to employ a friend who lost his job some years back.

He was not only a misfit. He was an underperformer in a business that requires agile and proactive managers.

On one occasion, I sent him to oversee a project in Port Harcourt but he messed up the deal with his complacency.
In spite of this, I didn’t let him go because of my emotions and because of the perceived need of the business as at that time. The business (construction) was under-staffed as we were having projects in multiple locations and there’s need for more experienced supervisors. Laying off staffs who have gone through our mentorship program wasn’t an option then.

Keeping the underperforming staff further caused unnecessary strain on the business, other staffs, customers, and on the company revenues until I decided to cut off tie with him.

Now, I’ve learnt to outsource some part of my business to other businesses instead of employing more staffs.

I’ve learnt over the year that businesses in Nigeria would do better if they focus on the area of core competence and outsource their worries to other businesses who are doing well in that front.

Being a business owner/founder doesn’t automatically make you a good manager.

Bad managers make bad employees.

I am an idiot! Complete one.

udemzyudex:


The 170 people that like your post are either stupid and don't understand that you're a thief or simply lack common sense.

You're a thief in disguise, forming smart.
Na so most of una dey do, Igbo miscreants.

HUSTLER001:
I won't engage you again. You speak like an illiterate.

udemzyudex:


Can you imagine this thief calling someone an illiterate truth be told,you're the illiterate here.

HUSTLER001:
The funny thing here is that you can't say same If we meet face to face.You wouldn't be ready for the consequences. I go run into you like trailer!

Oga, it's not all Yoruba guys that behave like that.

I was the first set of people that introduced Vehicle tracker to Abuja market back in 2012. Though the business was my side hustle, so I was transferred to cross river state.

Then I employed a guy from Enugu state and I taught him how to install the trackers. The guy sold all my trackers, kept the money for the installation to himself and lied to me that other engineers bought the tracker and install it themselves.

He went further to import trackers behind me using my company. In short, he recked my business and travelled out.
