Good for both of them. The company gets to hire someone with a hundred percent focus on their company And he get to focus a hundred percent on his company. No harm, no foul. 1 Like |

I dont think poster is telling the truth, the guy cant be so dumb to hv sent an official mail mistakenly with his private coy email. He was probably trying to take advantage of the coompany, probably win over or divert a contract amonymously or something of similar nature and was not careful enough. Morover, an IT employee with a private practice and also heading the IT unit of a group is risky. He can blackmail the company in future cos he has access to secrete and classified company info. |

ariesbull: You took up a job, you get paid for it. and You utilise the companies resources including the time they already paid for to run your own personal errands, Yet all you can say is: they'll not want you to grow. I pray when you run your own business. Your employees will act the same way. Then, we will see how your business will be able to deliver consistent value to investors, employees and customers alike. 4 Likes |

sleemfesh: And how do you know that the clause wasn't there? It seems you are extremely close to this "friend". Anyway, I assumed it was going to be there because it is standard practice in HR. All the same; "conflict of interest" can still be grounds for dismissal. |

Why must it always be "A friend"? Yet when any question is asked you quickly respond, are you saying your friend gave you the script? Knowing the answers to questions raised? Nigerians and insecurities.. Your friend indeed. 2 Likes |

I would suggested he doesnt go into partnership with the organization . he has made his connections and owns a company . he should face his company ...nobody can be trusted , even if he pays a professional to guide him on the signing of deal with that company , that company has more experience than him . you don resign . build your own company . percentage or no percentage , this big companies knows how to over ride upcoming companies . 1 Like |

Businesses in Nigeria require a constant hands on approach. If you turn your back, your employees will rob you blind. Unless your job is not very demanding, or you are running a passive income biz, eg renting out houses, you will have a conflict of attention and one of your jobs or your health will suffer |

It's always like that with many Nigeria MD's and CEOs. Always wanting to have it all. They have seen the prospect in the guy's company and that's why they wanna be shareholders. The rich always wanting to get richer at what expense! They have lost a good guy, that's not to say there are no better guys. But your friend did well be resigning. Did the initial contract agreement state employees are not allowed to have their businesses? If No, your friend can sue them and win. 1 Like |

Re: A Friend Was Asked To Resign Because He Has A Company Of His Own. by sleemfesh: 12:36pm On Feb 16, 2017 |
hardon1: Oga abi Madam, in case you are not aware, some people have up to two three four different email addresses on a single email app like Outlook or Gmail. Once u hit compose there is a default email address to send from which you have to manually change to the desired email address to send from. That's how u can accidentally and so unintentionally send a mail from the default, so wrong, email. What you don't understand doesn't have to be false. You can simply ask for a clarification not presume something from your end. |

DuBLINGreenb: Bros did you read the post? How come u presume insider info? I told you the company has no IT interest beyond what IT services they use. This guy innovated things for them and drives all their IT needs satisfactorily. Matter of fact they are now calling him back cos they found out so many things are left hanging cos of his exit. They thought he will take the yeye offer and buy him out of his business. That is pure greed not conflict of interest. |
Re: A Friend Was Asked To Resign Because He Has A Company Of His Own. by sleemfesh: 12:46pm On Feb 16, 2017 |
leksmedia: To some companies you said. He has his letter of employment there is no mention of conflict of interest and there is no conflicted of interest here. This a Trading company an IT firm, poles apart. They just wanted to get free service from him by using him company inside their and not be paying him salary but he refused to take the offer. |
Re: A Friend Was Asked To Resign Because He Has A Company Of His Own. by sleemfesh: 12:53pm On Feb 16, 2017 |
sisisioge: Bros it's called smartphone and you can have as much as ten email addresses on an app like Gmail or Outlook or even thr native email app. There's a default address to send from. You have to manually select the one u want if it is not the default email. This way it is very possible to send from the wrong one. |

majekdom2: You get the gist very well. You probabaly have had this experience or seen it. The employment letter didn't say anything about employees having their business. We thought of suing but maen, it's bad enough in the country as it is and how can one afford the luxury if a lawsuit. Thanks for your thought. |
Re: A Friend Was Asked To Resign Because He Has A Company Of His Own. by sleemfesh: 1:00pm On Feb 16, 2017 |
tojahh: If you have even a single friend they will confide things in you but I guess you have none. Not my headache. If you don't like the gist and can't learn to are welcome to leave. Nobody cares who it is but that it is a life experience and a lesson for people to mindful of. |

simiolu1: What's with the friend friend issue guys? What's important here is the correctness of the info. People are saying here he wasn't discreet enough with the other business and yet faulting me for reporting or speaking out for somebody. What if the person writes themselves and something comes up? Then you come back again and be like why didn't they use a pseudonym or something. I tire for people o. Meanwhile standard or not, we looked at the employment letter and there was nothing like that. Besides this an IT firm and a reading company, no single common interest. They don't sell anything that is even remotely related to IT. |
