A Friend Was Asked To Resign Because He Has A Company Of His Own. by sleemfesh: 2:33pm On Feb 15, 2017 |
So, this guy is the IT Manager of a group of companies in Lagos. Meanwhile he has a private practice that doesn't interfere with his job at this company. One day he sent a mail by mistake from his private email which is on a private domain name and management got to know of the private practice. This happened last year. Meanwhile this guy has had his private practice even before he joined the company over 4 and half years ago. He has answered no single query and alwaya delivered every assignment and task that is his responsibility. A couple days ago he was invited by the MD and Chairman of the company who asked him to put in his resignation since he has a company, that he is not giving his all. They offered to have a mou with the guy's private company he built from scratch to offer IT services. However the company has no interest in IT apart from what they use to work. They want to move into IT with the guy's private practice and co-own it. After the meeting, my guy wrote his resignation letter and left same day. Told them he will consider the offer. 8 Likes 4 Shares |

Actually the guy is lucky, most firm will sack him without thinking, That is why if you are running your private firm, make sure you have a private phone and laptop for each. He should refer to his terms of agreement, to some company thats conflict of interest while some other companies might not care. Anyways he should be smart when he is signing anything. Im sure the director likes him somehow or jjust wanna use him. He should employ the service of a professional in signing any deal. And if he must sign a deal or panership, he must own more than 51% of the business else he might just be kicked out of the company he built from scratch.

Please, always read your employment letter to know its rules for disengagement. The guy probably forgot that there was a clause in his employment letter than doesn't allow him to have a private practice (I'm assuming it was explicitly stated in the letter). Nonetheless, the deed has been done but next time he should be more careful. Also, he should employ the services of a lawyer to look at any agreement he is going to sign in the future with his former organization. Legal documents could turn out to be traps if not interpreted for you by a professional 12 Likes 1 Share |

Yes... Its under the circumstance a lawful thing to do. Conflict of interest. He has an IT company and he works in a IT capacity... Could steal clients. Steal data. Use office resources. Etc. Should have kept his business secret. He should apply for ongoing Nigerian Stock Exchange Vacancies. I think there is a IT role there too: https://www.nairaland.com/3629568/nigerian-stock-exchange-graduate-recruitment#53756081 18 Likes |

He somewhat shot himself in the leg when he logged into his other business account while working on his official business. That's all that is required to prove there's conflict of interest. In HR, it is a general no-no to have another coy you work for while on one paid employment. Let your guy face his other business, Infact, let him review the other business they are giving him well. He just might do better on it. 6 Likes |

Nigerian workers and their cunny cunny ways experience affected this man that has started his company before joining the organisation. He should have declared from the outset he has another interest and promised there won't be clash of interest. And about the proposal, if the terms are okay, why not instead of forming I'm the boss around with nothing to show for it. 4 Likes |

How do you log into your own company email and send an email to your work email by mistake? Your guy did this to himself. Trying to show off cost him his job and his employers can sense a conflict of interest. Your friend can learn the working process, business contacts and secrets from the current company and implement in his own. He is competition. |
