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 affected by any separation was denied his/her entitlements.

    When we separate people from their work lawfully, we hardly have them resorting to court cases as their will be nothing to fight for. #HRwithEM

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 ...

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 6

 My refusal to accept two direct instructions from two gentlemen who were instrumental to my employment in two companies where I enjoyed working, cost yours truly those jobs because I considered those instructions as unreasonable. Firstly, I was asked to provide information that would lead to the termination of the employment of five high performing managers. My response was to send my boss a local ICBM to the effect that "a man who circumcises woman do not talk". If the man talks, he will die of hunger. Secondly, I was asked to tell half truths by my boss, which I considered to be telling lies and I refused. My boss explained further to yours truly, that what he was saying was for yours truly to play politics because politics is about half truths. He stated further that should yours truly continue to insist on the truth only, he would join others in fighting yours truly. My response to him was "you're welcome. Within five weeks of this discussion, your truly was tra...

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.
