A system that works!!!

When they are owing for months. What do the civil servants do within that period? They come to work?

Civil service job is one of he easies jobs around oh. Imagine working with the ministry of water resources, or culture and tourism or those other moribund parastatals. They stay on for the job security, regular promotions, gratuity and pension. They also have all the time in he world for side hustles. Eventually the government pays them.

“My parents used to tell us: with what little you have, be a blessing to others. But my father also said this: don’t let people smell your money. I didn’t know what he meant. But what he meant is: when you have things, don’t announce it. Because once you announce it, people smell it. The aroma gets in them, and they start to make it theirs. They’ll start to think: I need it more than him, he can give some to me. And they’ll come up with a thousand reasons to get it from you. Don’t get me wrong, they’re real reasons. But six months later: here comes another one. You’d think that the more you do, the less you’ll need to do. But it doesn’t seem to work that way. With a lot of people, the more you do, the more they seem to need. It’s not good psychologically. And it’s not good economically. For my whole life I’ve been the person people come to. But I’m almost sixty now. I’m not where I want to be, so I’m slowing down on the giving. I still want to be a part of the whole thing: pay it forward, be blessed to be a blessing. God is love, but God is also discernment. And I can’t let other people’s emergencies cause me to have an emergency.”

I can’t work in the Nigerian civil service. I would feel very redundant. Definitely not in my prime. Maybe when I am quarter to retire…

That one na pension while in active service.

I love my hourly pay, make I hear recruiter talk say na monthly pay.....I no do

Looking forward to receiving the payslip every Thursday is therapeutic.

Your brain will deteriorate. On our group we have a guy who is a director in the civil service. Always posting rubbish that I am sure was shared in the office and celebrated as sense.

We have one civil service guy on football threads who actively defends nonsense behavior and runs to politics section baby trolls for support.

The exact sentiment I had as a young girl, when momsie would talk about helping me to find work in one of our state ministries.

If I had listened to her, I will be in one state ministry today being owed salary for months, not tasking my brain enough, nor stretching myself and growing in the process.

I'm glad I followed the dreams in my heart, because I like the life experiences I've had and love where my life is @.

Lol. I once did an internship in my State's civil service for almost two years and trust me, if not for my department and Boss, I'd have lost some brain cells. The workers are very redundant, they like hopping from one office to another gossiping, some will skip work for days, and heap loads of work for us interns to do while they watch Nollywood movies on their system from morning till night with Government Wi-Fi.

Let's not even get started with the routine work(I get bored really fast because I was accustomed to the work), silly office politics, eye service and all of that.

Although, I enjoyed the free snacks, Wifi and steady gossips.

Basically, it's not a place for creative and career-driven young minds.

Folake, as always this was an enjoyable narrative. At the bolded, your yeye no get part two sha

Lol. The gists were sweet oh. Hot and spicy as always.

Klass99:
This sounds like one guy on Jonnyspute's whatsapp group who was removed from the group for repeatedly posting rubbish, namely pornographic material, after he was warned several times to stop. So juvenile!

One guy shared a hard dominatrix video and was saying he was told this is how rapists are punished in China. I am sure na the same guy sef.

Perverts would always look for a way to justify their bullshît.

[quote author=Klass99 post=115197343]Great, then I like it.

I once worked at an org where salaries were paid twice a month to curb the excessive begging and incessant complaints of some staff about being broke.

For example if you earned 120k, you would get 40% of that on the 14th and 60% at month end, on the 28th or so. I thought it was cool because it kept me liquid and you know middle of the month na when salary earners dey broke pass.

Yet, we still had people burning through cash and complaining before the month ends.

They do this where I work presently. 50% half of the month, 50% at month end. The only issue is the Pension, the first 50% is not treated as a salary. PAYE and Pension remittances will be calculated on the second payment. The benefit is that the employee will pay tax on 50% of his/her salary while the pension will be lower than it should (8% plus 10%) of the 50% salary will be paid as Pension.

Hourly pay can't work in Nigeria because it favors only the employee not the employer.

Most employer likes it when you stay in their company for 8 hours and they pay you 30k.

Secondly, employee will no longer be committed to the company which will be a great disadvantage to the employer.

So many reasons

Exactly . Having those skills and just idling away. Again, it would take a lot of years, connection and politicking to even reach top perm sec or director position where you can really make that impression.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Hourly payment would definitely favour the FG.

I would advise the incoming president to adopt this quickly

Some civil servants get paid to peel the egusi they would use to cook their soup in the evening, just because they peeled it in the office[/color]

Civil servants don't usually get hourly pay anywhere except the lowest grades so I wouldn't expect it from government where civil servants can be at home or peeling egusi claiming pay for work. Government is not that mumu. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if the none payment of salary is due to civil servants not generating revenue.

Nigeria has not matured to hourly pay yet.

Our major issues are underemployment, unemployment, slave wages and sub-human working conditions.

We need our defunct labour commission to rise up to their responsibilities.

If I were to choose, I prefer the current system of monthly salary. I like to have my money in bulk & plan with it.

The ever elusive Work/Life balance

Right how, companies treat it as a buzz word because they never put systems in place to achieve it.

Systems like good pay to enable peeps live closer to the office, very reasonable workload, reasonable expectations/commitment to customers, automation of processes, reduction of bureaucracy and ability to actually rate employees by their contribution & not perception.

Instead of doing the above, they want to enroll us for stress and time management courses

I think service providers are worse hit; every promise to deliver faster and better service to your customers equals your employees working longer hours and doing tasks outside their scope.

I am still looking for the service provider who have balanced quality service and less stressed employees; I want to check something.

Stress and time management courses run by their proxies. A win win for management.

Hello GloriousGbola, I’m trying to setup a Lenovo T480s and I’m encountering challenges in downloading the Vantage app from MS Store to tweak the charge level. I downloaded the zip format from FileHorse and it was installed with a name different from “Lenovo Vantage”. I’ve gone through my apps to search for it and I can’t find anything. Not even a related name. I checked MS Store and for Vantage app, I get a “You have this App” at the top left and to the right: “Install” which doesn’t do anything even after clicking on it several times.

I’m sincerely tired. I even thought of setting the charge limit from BIOS but I’m unable to.

I tried installing the setup and I’m getting this error.


I had to deactivate the Windows update via Registry Editor. So MS Store at the moment isn’t functional because of the disabled feature to update.

Why did you deactivate Windows update

Why did you deactivate Windows update

It saps my data. There’s always something to update.

How do you deactivate your windows update please ?

From my personal experience, tweaks such as disabling Windows update, telemetry, spying etc, usually have effects like this.

You suddenly find a feature is broken and you spend all day trying to track it down.

Based on what you've said you may need one of those resetWU scripts.

Is it Windows update sapping your data, or MS Store?

Because you can stop automatic ms store updates.

In my experience windows update is usually every Tuesday.

Download glasswire to find out exactly where your data is going.

You can also limit the bandwidth available to Windows update.

But disabling... I won't advise that, especially as I use Windows defender

Good morning. I’ve enabled the Update. the Vantage App has been downloaded and it’s working just fine. My data goes to updating of either drivers or something about Intel bla bla bla. For certain occasions I spend 6gbs in updating imaginary things.

How do I limit the bandwidth?
