Things To Do While Waiting For A Busy Big Man by lazymoney: 9:35am On Nov 09, 2012 |
Yesterday, I had the unpleasant :Dexperience of having to wait for 4 hours for a client who owed me money for a job well done, for which he had been avoiding to pay me for a while. He called early (around 10am) and asked us to see. I got to his house, leaving my business with the hope to go and collect the payment and come back immediately. That didn't happen as he just left me in d parlour and was playing 'politics' with his girlfriend in the bedroom for the next four hours. That's why I am asking what possible thing could one be doing while waiting (unpredictably) for a 'busy' big man. I was really frustrated actually. Yeah. I got the money at the end. |

While waiting, think of what to do to become the next 'busy big man' (not playing with dummies but playing with your wife) 9 Likes |

But it shuld depend on d level he is operating. Der is competition in d labour mkt. Some ppl wil not mind doing d work wit der money den wait hell to collect deir money bak jst to impress n win further contract. |

Busy big men should learn to respect other peoples time. Lost time can never be regained. I suggest such big men should enroll for etiquette classes. visit www.nigerinewsnetwork.com for more. |

I hate how business is done in Nigeria. There is no respect for other people's time. This man you describe is NOT a big man - a real big man invites people to his office and not his house where he is getting busy with a prostitute. Rubbish - next time, ask him to see you in your office. Also, don't do the work without getting paid up front. |

Seems you're just starting the biz or firm, for you to have waited for complete 4hrs for him? Prolly you went there 2 collect millions of naira, cuz I don't see myself waiting that long if I were in your shoe sha. Anyway, truth be told, that man lacks etiquette and has no regard whatsoever for the poor or those less richer. All I see, is a picture of an arrogant and selfish man whom you called a big man, which I'm not disputing. Moreover, try and package yourself more better, at times presentation matter most and the impression you give people about yourself or business means a whole lot and would command you respect n contrariwise. But glad you got your money sha, that's the koko.... 1 Like |
