DECISION MAKING: A STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPMENT 2

 People who do not make decisions are like people who are going nowhere and therefore can go anywhere. These people move in circles. Decisions order a man's life. 


Here we go again: -

- About the time I was relocating to Sapele,  I decided not to ever go abroad. 

- In 1989, I decided to enroll for a Master's degree because B.Sc. could not secure a job for me. 

- I decided to enrol for an M.Sc in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management instead of an M.Sc. in Epidemiology because of the incessant closure of my university of choice. 

- Before I got my first job after post-graduate school,  I decided not to work for any company that does not pay salaries as when due. 

- In 1989, I decided not to work in any company that encourages employees not to proceed on their annual leave. 

- In 1991, I decided that employees who go to work while being owed salaries and do not go on annual leave are Thieves. 

- When I rounded off my M.Sc. I decided against enrolling for a PhD degree stating that is for my children when they come along. 

- In 1991, I decided that I would not clog my desk with work. 

- I decided to always speak truth to authority. 

- In 1990, I decided to always disobey all unlawful and unreasonable instructions. 

- About 30 years after my decision not to go overseas,  my official work took me to Europe for a week. On my return, I decided that we have no Leaders in Nigeria but Satanic,  Wicked and Kleptomaniacs as Rulers. 

- Early in my work life, I decided on Job-Hopping to deal with low pay,  no promotion and a toxic work environment. 

- Arising out my experience,  I decided not to employ anybody by Nepotism - Our National Malady. 

- In the year 2000, I decided that the real enemy of the worker is the Trade Union. 

- In the year 2000 I decided to go back to church which I stopped over 30 years go. 


Let us try to conclude next week.

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.

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 ...
