JOB INTERVIEW 6

 When you attend interviews, you must only answer questions you are asked. Any attempt to answer more than you are asked makes you a Talkative.

The statements you make may land or cost you the job.


Below are some statements which I made that landed or cost me jobs.

They are:-

- Company rules and regulations must apply to all employees.

- While there are exceptions to the rule, the exceptions must not be allowed to become the rule.

- I cannot stand an employer whose monthly salary cycle is more than 30 days.

- Annual vacation is not negotiable if the managing director could proceed on vacation.

- Two years consecutive advance performance rating must lead to separation Procedure.

- There is a big difference between a half full cup and a half empty cup.

- I do not want big money that will take away my sleep.

- In five years, I wish to be one of the directors of the company.

- When you oppress your staff, you pay back in terms of reduced ROI and commitment.

- Integrity of employees is directly proportional to the employer's integrity.

- You cannot give what you do not have.

- Salary paid to staff is a small fraction of their output.

- I cannot stay in the office beyond closing time simply because my boss has not closed. No room for eye service.

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.

MICRO HR MANAGEMENT 13

 There was this company I worked that the Union forced management to 20% deduction on contributory pension but did not remit these deductions to any Pension Fund Administrator (PFA). When I joined, Management agreed that I sign an undertaking with the external auditors that management will pay quarterly deductions monthly in addition  to the current month deductions. However, when it was time to effect the remittance, the Management back tracked on the undertaking. My insistence in the remittances cost I my job with the company. The good news however, after I left, may be for fear of the trouble I could cause the company, Management started the implementation of the undertaking till date.

HR WITHOUT INITIATIVES 2

 Once I changed my job from a factory employing over 2,700  and spending a little over N300,000.00 monthly on medical bills to another factory employing a little over 200 staff but spent monthly over N250,000.00 on medical bills.  For me,  this was a beautiful challenge that needed to be attended to.  The result of preliminary research showed that: - - We had 4 retainer hospitals.  - Our staff fall sick majorly on Fridays and Saturdays evenings and mornings respectively.  - Our staff took soft loans from the retainer hospitals,  which they send to us with interest as medical bills.  What did I do?  - Established an Industrial Clinic with an NYSC Doctor plus a Nurse.  - Reduced retainer hospitals by two.  - Got staff to choose which of the remaining two retainer hospitals to attend.  - Stopped the payment of medical bills without referrals from the Industrial Clinic.  - Sourced drugs from the pharmaceutical Division of the Conglomerate for the Industrial Clinic.  - Gave a month's no
