EMPLOYEE STEALING 7

 I worked in this particular company that pays terribly disproportionate Junior staff to Managerial salaries.

My monthly salary was almost twice the salary of the five junior staff that worked with me.

The above great disparity notwithstanding, one of the Clerk's secondary home was a beer parlour where he spent freely. A second junior staff on supervisory grade change his car twice in three years, while I the manager could not afford a single tyre of a car.

These two staff, while one was in charge of purchasing, the second was in charge of processing the sales of scraps in the company.

    This type of pay structure described is similar to many companies on the FMCG Industry and some Companies in the Telecoms industry.

    This is very funny though it is a reality.

    Quite insightful. Rest is a right that shouldn't be negotiated. It is mutually beneficial.

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 8

 I have a first degree in Sociology and Anthropology from the best university then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Benin, Benin City. During my undergraduate days, I decided not to earn naira on graduation, so when my course mates were rushing to major in Organizational Behaviour, I opted for Medical Sociology. I equally decided to go on to obtain a Masters Degree in Epidemiology so as to ensure that I work with either WHO or UNICEF where I would be paid in dollars. However, my university of choice was then being shut every other three months. This was against another decision of yours truly that I shall not spend more than 12 months for the masters program. At this point, I changed my mind to study Industrial Relations and Personnel Management at the best University then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos. This major shift brought yours truly into a profession that it's major tenants contradict my major attitudes to life. Some of ...

THE LAW OF REST 1

There are two Economics laws that best  explain, the law of Rest. These laws are: The law of Diminishing Returns and The Law of Marginal Utility. The Law of Rest states that when you work and rest and work again, you produce more than when you work continuously without rest. The application of this Law of Rest has been manifest in the practice of Bush Fallowing and/ or Shifting Cultivation in Agriculture. Applied to fair labour practice, it results in the principle of annual vacation for employees. Employees are meant to stop work and rest for 30 minutes after 4 hours of work. This accounts for why employees who work 8 hours a day,, are given 1 hour break in between the 8 hours. Applied to yearly work, every employee is entitled to a number of weeks vacation every year without negotiation. In fact in my clime, the law says, an employee shall not accumulate more than two years vacation. Any employee in any organisation where the CEO goes on vacation annually, and does not go on vaca...

WHAT IS YOUR SALARY EXPECTATION? 2

 The above question is irrelevant for people who join organisations by Nepotism because interviews are merely to fulfill all righteousness. For others who join organisations by merit, it is a most important question because it is a question you already knew would be asked. Failing this all important question shows lack of proper preparation for the interview. I dealt with this question in two forms:- Firstly, From the Consultant's perspective. Secondly, From the direct employer's perspective. Based on my knowledge of salaries paid in various sectors of the Nigerian economy, when a consultant asked, to answer I only demand to know the sector her client was operating. As regards the direct employer, it was even easier to answer. I always found out what were the going rates in that industry. Three examples to clarify the points above. These examples will cover two from Structured Organisations and one from Unstructured Organisation, the ones I generally call "Mosafejo Compani...
