REJECTED RESIGNATION AND WRONGFUL TERMINATION

 You will allow me ask some simple questions which I know you have no answers.

Firstly, I would like to know companies in Nigeria that force people to apply for employment with them?

Secondly, I would also like to know who if anyone has been forced to apply for employment in any company?

I have tried to scan through my over fifteen appointment letters and could not find anywhere provision was made for Resignation, rather Termination.

My next question, where did Resignation of appointment come from?

The next corollary question is why would any employer reject Resignation and any employer come up with the term Wrong Termination?

Finally, Could an employee reject Termination or on the other hand could the employer reject Resignation?

For the purpose of discussion, should the employer term his Termination as WRONGFUL, where would he work and who will pay him?

Should the employer reject the employee's Resignation, how does the employer make the employer to report for duty?

As I said from the beginning, the questions though simple, but answers will not be forthcoming, so, my conclusion is stated hereunder.

Those two terms are some of the Major failures of HR Practice. You cannot reject a resignation, all you can do is appeal for reasons to continue with the employment. On the on other hand you cannot term termination a wrongful and continue to work for free for the employer.

Finally, When an employee resigns, accept the resignation and wish him well in all his future endeavours, and when an employer terminates, it is not the end of life.  The main reason is that you cannot impose an unwilling employer on a willing employer and conversely you cannot impose willing employer on an unwilling employer. This is because as the Economist Adam Smith puts it,  " On the long, long run, we should have all died"

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 ...

MANAGEMENT RASCALITY 5

A management consulting firm came to do a restructuring in a Conglomerate I worked and Evil almost had it's way. When the consultant submitted her draft report for discussion by HR Community made up of over twenty (20) Managers,  on the prompting of the HR Group Head, the consultant recommended that the HR Group Head should no-longer report to the Group Managing Director but to the Chief Operating Officer who reports to the GMD. My lone voice against the recommendation was rebuked by the HR Group Head pointing out that the COO has more daily operational duties. However, the absolute minority position was upheld in the final recommendation and today the Human Resources Director reports directly to the GMD.

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...
