Watch out for Office Manipulators.

Some employers/employees have mastered you and will manipulate you to look bad before everyone.

They know what triggers you to react in a certain way, and they use this medium to push a negative narrative about you and exempt themselves from the situation, if you are not careful, manipulators will always put you on the spot. By being aware of the signs and taking steps to protect yourself and your sanity, you can navigate these situations with confidence.

Common Tactics of Manipulators:

👉Playing the Victim: they always portray themselves as good to gain sympathy and support.

👉Gossip and Rumors: They spread misinformation about others to create division.

👉Credit Stealing: They take credit for employees' achievements or minimize their contribution.

👉Excessive Flattery: They use flattery to build relationships only to exploit them later.

👉Passive-aggressive behavior: they use subtle tactics like sarcasm or ignoring requests to manipulate you.

👉Blaming and Guilt Tripping
👉Undermining your confidence and abilities.
👉Use your weakness as your triggers.
👉Wanting to find out your discussion with colleagues around the office and find something to use as a topic for discussion.
👉Subtly engage your colleagues or junior staff about you to create an avenue for disrespect.

Tips on Dealing with Office Manipulators:

👉The first thing is to recognize their tactics and know your triggers.

👉Trust your guts, if something feels off, it probably is.

👉Set clear boundaries, be clear about what you will not tolerate.

👉Do not engage in an argument, remember manipulators thrive on emotional reactions so they can have something to hold. Stay calm and focused.

👉Maintain emotional distance. Practice emotional detachment by avoiding getting drawn into their drama.

👉Use assertive communication.


If you find yourself consistently feeling uncomfortable, stressed, or doubtful of yourself around someone at work, it's worth paying attention to these signs and taking action to protect yourself.

Payslip is not a Determinant for a candidate's Salary.

A lot of organizations still practice the act of asking candidates for their payslips to verify if they truly are earning what they claim to earn or know what to pay as remuneration.

It is advisable that employers should have detailed working salary grades and bands for their employees based on experiences, skills, and other necessary factors which will guide what budget they give to everyone that comes into the organization.

Truth is No quality candidate comes cheap.

A lot Candidates are earning below the industry standards, basing their remuneration on their previous pay would only be short-changing them. If your organizations can afford to pay well please do so and stop asking for payslips.

There are cases where a candidate state his/her salary expectation and then recruiters tell them, they don't earn so much currently why do they want to earn such an increase? Such statement is wrong in all ramifications.

Negotiate with your candidates based on their skills and experience considering the current industry standards for such professions and the expertise they bring to the organization, leave their previous payslips out of the discussion. copied

Chinese employers are the worst, especially factories and construction companies.

They work Monday to Sunday, no off day or leave. Any day you are absent you lose the day's wage.

Coupled with their terrible pay, CCECC workers had to stay a massive protest on Abeokuta and the then governor Amosun addressed them saying 'If you can cope, leave their job.'

They are currently the worst employer in Nigeria, treating our people as slaves.

Hi

Top things not required during Interviews.

Some candidates are usually confused when I get to the end of the interview sessions and I let them know if they have any questions for me.

From those shocked, puzzled, bland, excited or are you kidding-me-kind-of look, I just laugh. Interviews shouldn’t be too fraught with negative energy. We all have been there.

So I want to drop those things we don’t really need for interviews but which some of us out of ignorance still ask about:

1. Ethnicity or race
2. Faith/ Religion
3. Home Address is not same as location
4. Bank Statements
5. Marital Status or reason why someone is unmarried.
6. Why you have a gap on your resume.
7. How måny children do you have
8. Personal details of previous employers.
9. Payslips

Quite unnecessary! What other things have I forgotten, feel free to add.

Basically, the primary comsideration should be:

👉🏽What are you bringing on board?
👉🏽Do you have a track record if experienced?
👉🏽Do you meet the criteria for the role?
👉🏽Are you passionate about your job?
👉🏽Do you have the right attitude to fit in?
