HR BY SENTIMENTS 3

 I worked in a Conglomerate in which I was overseeing the HR Function in six Divisions. 


In one of these six Divisions,  the Vice Chairman of the Branch Union was caught stealing cartons of personal products by throwing them over the fence of the company. 


To discipline him became a problem because both the Factory Manager and the Quality Control Manager were from the same town with the thief. In addition,  because of little favours to GHO HR Function, no action was taken against the thief and the Divisional Personnel/Admin Manager was being ridiculed for establishing the theft of products. It was at this point that the matter was brought to my attention and I gave the Personnel/Admin Manager approval to terminate the appointment of the Vice Chairman of the Branch Union.


The immediate reaction of the Divisional Management was the frustration of the confirmation of the appointment of the Personnel/Admin Manager. In fact,  the Divisional General Manager hid the probation report of the Personnel/Admin Manager and proceeded on annual vacation directing his secretary not to release the probation report to yours truly. 


What I did to the shame of the Divisional Management and GHO HR Management, I confirmed the appointment of the Personnel/Admin Manager three days into the annual vacation of the Divisional General Manager.

EMPLOYEE STEALING 7

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

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.

WICKED MANAGEMENTS AND CALLOUS TRADE UNIONS 5

 As we conclude this Content on Wicked Managements and Callous Trade Unions, we shall share with you what should be done by both Management and Trade Union in protecting workers from unfair labour Practices. Last week, we identified some of the National Economic Challenges and the contributions of both Management and Trade Union to unfair labour Practices. The way out of Unfair Labour Practices falls on both the Management and the Trade Union. They are:- - Management and Trade Union must commit to adhering to the Codified Rules of Engagement. - Management shall not go out of the labour policies and procedures of the organisation. - There shall be no secrets in the management workers affairs. - Salaries, allowances and pensions must be paid as at when due (30 days cycle). - Workers shall be given fair hearing. - The Trade Union must be carried along on all issues of discipline and job loses. From the above, what comes out like we said previously, the Trade Unions unfair labour Pract...

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 ...
