MY CONSIDERATION EXPERIENCE 1

 Why salary matter again? It is salary matter again because I see so many people slaving away their lives by receiving peanuts because they fear to look out of their present slave camps called employment.

Let me share with you my salaries at the point of joining four Public Limited Companies (Plc)

1. N14,010 p.a.

2. N313,700 p.a.

3. N234,304 p.a.

4. N6,043,480 p.a.

All four companies could be group into two by Ownership and Management.

Another way, you could group them into two is by the salaries they paid.

What appeared common to all was their manufacturing businesses.

The major difference between all companies based on industrial location, is the availability of avenue for salary negotiation. While numbers 1 and 3 did not give room for salary negotiation, numbers 2 and 4 gave ample room for salary negotiation.

The question then is, why did you take the number 1 job? I went to the school of experience.

I hereby fail to provide the salaries at the point of leaving these companies to protect you against petty jealousies, reason being that with some of them especially those of foreign ownership, the salaries became dangerously high. The dangerously high salaries were not unconnected with internal management policies and procedures of management magnanimity, collective bargaining and performance management system increment.

To avoid distuccion, I did not add management contributions to employees NPF, NSITF and Contributory Pension Funds.

My last word to you is, when you attend interviews and the companies do not give room for salary negotiations, DO NOT take such jobs because such companies do not care about employees welfare.

Next week, I shall share my consideration experiences with Private Limited Companies with multi-billion naira turnovers, but called in my clime as One-man business.

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 ...

THE LAW OF REST 1

There are two Economics laws that best  explain, the law of Rest. These laws are: The law of Diminishing Returns and The Law of Marginal Utility. The Law of Rest states that when you work and rest and work again, you produce more than when you work continuously without rest. The application of this Law of Rest has been manifest in the practice of Bush Fallowing and/ or Shifting Cultivation in Agriculture. Applied to fair labour practice, it results in the principle of annual vacation for employees. Employees are meant to stop work and rest for 30 minutes after 4 hours of work. This accounts for why employees who work 8 hours a day,, are given 1 hour break in between the 8 hours. Applied to yearly work, every employee is entitled to a number of weeks vacation every year without negotiation. In fact in my clime, the law says, an employee shall not accumulate more than two years vacation. Any employee in any organisation where the CEO goes on vacation annually, and does not go on vaca...

HR ON EXTINCTION MODE 1

 There are certain things being done or not being done by modern HR Practitioners that tend to indicate that the HR Profession is on a high speed to extinction.  Firstly, Some HR Professionals are leaving more strategic roles for transactional roles. For example, how would an HR Professional give up Salary Administration for Pay Roll? There may be only two possible reasons, which are:  - Ignorance or  - Instinct of collection - being interested in uncollected wages.  Secondly, HR Professionals giving up the preparation of offers of employment letters. Of recent, offer letters are being prepared by Lawyers and given to HR Professionals to sign without understanding the legal constructions by these lawyers for incomes in the future through litigations. The unfortunate situation is that some HR Professionals are defending the unwholesome practice.  The point being made is that some HR Practitioners are already surrendering some of their core functions to Accou...
