This manager work no easy!!!

While i am grateful for my current job especially as it is somewhat better than staying home all day... the many things my eyes have seen i just must pencil down.

There is certainly a WIDE gap between a one man business and a multi national.

Our Operations manager is Ijebu by tribe and worked as a teacher before now. he has some really amusing theories about how things should run.....

For example : the toner for the printer must completely run out before another can be purchased. i find that absurd and certainly not the way to go. He accused me the other day of not being responsible for the maintenance of the pool car.... hello... i am not in admin and barely use the car anyway. I use my own car for marketing purposes. as if that is not bad enough i have to sign papers up and down the place before i get a refund on my fuel money....

The height for me is the lastest development. i have worked for seven months thereabouts and no one assigned me a laptop/computer. I used mine until it crashed.... several memos and lamentations later, my dear boss approves ONE for the marketing unit in addition to the laptop we currently have....

One as in ONE for we the three unit members. he claims it is a work station technically this means the three of us have to take turns to use it. we have two chairs on this table. so one person stands while the other two sit!!!!

And they say i am a management staff....

I shudder to imagine what the other normal staff must be experiencing.... mcsheeewwwwww

...the ijebu man...he is obviously not saving any money, he is probably losing some. There is so much inefficiency which cost more at the end of the day.

The way some people run their business, I wonder whether they have any vision? One laptop and two chairs for three people?

It’s amazing how people bring their village ideas and mentality to a business environment. Not for nothing, You CEO I presume will in his mind strive to be like Bill gates and the likes of them ehm but there just one thing wrong, he needs to change his mindset, Employees aren’t slaves, a happy worker produces more output, Hello that’s why Shell, chevron and the likes of them spoil their employee silly… Nigerians and their foolish archaic mentality!!!
