Good morning N'Landers

I started my new job as a manager in a filling station. It have not been easy for the past one month due to change of environment and being my first experience as well
I thank everyone who congratulated,advised and wish me all the best in my previous thread. May good things forever come your way,Amen.

I created this topic to attend to questions concerning the job,I have experienced much within this one month of work, I believe I will be helpful to someone here, because I got help here as well when I needed insights concerning my job

I was on that thread. Thanks for creating this one and giving yourself willingly.

30-100k

Depends on the company

30-100k

Depends on the company

Not bad. Was thinking 100 - 150k range..

RedPanthar:



Not bad. Was thinking 100 - 150k range..

Not really
It depends on size of the company, minimum to be paid as a manager is 30k

Inexperienced ones are paid lower and salary increases as you learn because, your MD wouldn't want you to steal him, feel bad or make a move

An experienced petrol station manager is a hot cake

30k isn't good enough for a whole station manager, do you mean pump attendants would then be paid 15k?

RedPanthar:

Exactly
Even 10k
But they are on shift


Like now
Two persons walked into my station respectively to pull me to their station
And willing to pay triple of my salary

I declined
I don't need to rush things
Besides I have no issue with my boss
He really picked me inexperienced


Just be patient

I agree with patience and build connections and plenty of opportunities to receive side monies but then they teach people to be corrupt. How dare they pay fuel attendants 10k. I will make sure I take this up by writing a bill to the house of assembly. The risk to their lives, standing day to night, inhaling fuel fumes. Humans can be greedy and wicked


No worker in any fuel involved organization should earn less than 50k

Smiles, I will be glad if you do
I feel for my workers too


Highest to pay an attendant is 18-20k in NIGERIA

The reason why they steal and involve in other fraudulent activities


You dare not try such with me
Because if there's shortage of money, I the manager will pay
You got the job offer and OK with the pay, so u have to discharge your duty with every honesty and diligence

Easy to say. You couldn't possibly track their activities. I knew a girl that worked in a fuel station and was doing 3k daily thrift. And they weren't doing 50 Naira per galloon o. Till tomorrow, I've still not figured out how she was doing it. Though she's always at the station from dusk to dawn

The station manager may allow them to handle pump keys
Or allow them to copy their meters sold in a day themselves


Once I work your meter and you have excess
I will give you the balance
Any day you have shortage, you have to pay for it too

Highest excess any pump attendant recorded since my work is #150

Except someone gave her tip at the pump
Is none of my business

An experienced manager should also know the readinga and mechanism of his pumps

The lady in question lack a good manager in the company

If an auditor should come there, they will record millions of debts

But daily steady contribution isn't child's play o

Yea
Last night the excess I had was just #10, I gave it to her

Though there are questionable "excess"

If you sales in a day excceds #200
I will have to check the meter workigs well and check my pump the next day ........

Some managers team up with the pump attendants to steal
End of the day they share the money

Eg
The MD instructed petrol to be sold at the rate of #160
He will set pumps to #165

At the end of the day
He will subtract #5 from all liters sold
And give the pump attendant her or his share ,Lol

I see. But then available funds can be used for quick side businesses by managers

I was at the previous thread at the time you created it, nice to have you back.
What is the daily routine of a SM like? i.e the key things to ensure effiency

RedPanthar:

Ensure the stations opens on time

Ensure everywhere is neat even the pumps

Check sales books and other account books handled by the cashier

Check the quantity of products you have I your station

And make sure the generator is in good condition

I love your discipline and ethics. Maybe when my establishment needs the stage of getting a manager, I should come to you for recommendations

:I see. But then availability funds can be used for hurry flank business by management etc funds doesn't last, there's Anything like peaceful of thinking

Your responsibility is to make sure there is sales and balancing

RedPanthar:

Thanks,it will be an honour to serve you in that perspective, you won't regret getting in touch with me

seanwilliam:

Exactly,
Then thinking of other ways to generate money outside the station

I met hotels,churches and hospitals we supply diesel to them now
Thereby making triple of normal daily sales

If the station doesn't sell sealed oil
You can initiate that

Most importantly,keeping the environment neat
It attracts customers

For her to be there from dusk to Dawn showed there was something going on that the manager is aware but turned a blind eye to it.
