SEPARATION 3

 My separation experience is closely tied to Nepotism, Promotion and Salary Increment by Job Hopping. Getting jobs through foreigners was one side of the coin and the other side was the Snares of Nepotism. I worked in four Public Quoted Companies. I resigned from two which are now dead. Of the remaining two, I left by redundancy. While one has delisted from the Stock exchange and on life support, the fourth is doing relatively well because of the close marking of the foreign investors. Of the five Private Limited Companies I worked, I resigned from two which are still on operation. I had my appointment terminated by one which has been acquired by competition. Finally, the remaining two let me off by redundancy and coincidentally, both are dead. Two things stand out for me in these companies. Firstly, Except one company nobody was taken from outside as my replacement. The company that did paid terribly for it. Secondly, Apart from the first company, nobody earned what I was paid before

SEPARATION 2

 In all the places I worked, no separation led to litigation except one that went for conciliation as earlier shared under MISTAKES on this blog. I failed to obey in the main all unlawful and unreasonable instructions to either terminate or provide information with which staff were terminated. Please see MANAGEMENT RASCALITY on this blog. Throughout my work life as an HR Practitioner, I only terminated one HR staff for failing to account properly for funds he collected to executive some projects. The highest number of staff I separated from work were based on Redundancy not due to any fault of theirs. The second highest cause of separation was Dismissal, consequent upon abandonment of duty. These were staff who were absent for three consecutives days without permission. The next highest were staff who breached other rules such as Habitual lateness, Habitual absenteeism, sleeping on duty, falsification of records and outright stealing. Finally, I can confidently say, nobody who was affe

SEPARATION 1

 The employment relationship between the employer and the employee is entirely voluntary. So I do not seem to understand the high emotions involved at separation. The new normal notwithstanding, it is correct to say that you cannot force an unwilling employee on a willing employer or a willing employee on an unwilling employer. By the terms of the contract of employment and the other conditions of employment contained in the employee handbook within which are other terms arising from collective agreements, separation should not result in any bad blood. Listed hereunder are some of the modes of ending the employment relationship between the employer and the employee. They are:- - Termination. - Resignation. - Dismissal - Summary Dismissal. - Abandonment of Duty. - Work out. - Dumping. - Redundancy. In the next two weeks I shall share with you which of the above modes I did implement and ones which affected me as an employee.

HR PRACTICE & NEPOTISM 4

 To conclude the Contents under this heading, I wish to list the jobs I either lost or was rejected due to Nepotism and not performance at the interview. Hold it, I am not mentioning companies but industrial sectors. They are:- - Oil Servicing. - BIA - Chemicals. - WA - Oil Servicing. - BIA - Chemicals. - WA - Aluminium Fabrication. - BIA. - Oil Producing. - BIA. - Chemicals. - WA. - Sand Dredging. - Foreigner.  - Food & Beverage. WA&BIA. - Food & Beverage. - WA. I must say I was seriously pained at the lost or rejection at the above companies. The one that pained me most was one of Oil Servicing Companies where a secretary at the Consulting Firm wrote a rejection letter on my behalf to the company to facilitate the employment of her ethnic member. Finally, what you cannot change, you must accept it and go on with your life because one rejection opens other doors of opportunities.
