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.

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 ...
