Yup. Same thing happens overseas. Luckily our customers like us and tell us when it happens. We've let 3 techs go for that reason. Pretty sure it happens more than we know though.

As a whole though, I have excellent employees. So much do that people have tried to poach them and ask what Staffing agency I use but I don't I don't use one. I find and train myself and am willing to pay what they are worth.

Haven't been accused of being greedy or stingy yet because the company books are open to all employees and they all know exactly how much the company made each month and receive a profit share in addition to pay. Also, employees are allowed to request a salary review at any point if they can prove why they deserve it.

Hello, everybody; I've been in guest mode. I'm always reading up this thread.

dejidotun2000:
I missed your contribution

nitigriti:
Ornius is 100% right, guys. Everyone should just let this rest.

nitigriti:
I did emailing for 2 years. And yes, I did offline trips. But I never initiated them on my own or tried to convert an online trip to an offline one. A few examples:
1) A couple booked me offline for their wedding Saturday, Sunday and Monday; AFTER I carried them around Lagos for four hours plus as they did their shopping ONLINE without complaining;
2) There's a rider who works at Coca Cola, Agidingbi. He booked me online for a trip in Lagos, he enjoyed the trip and requested that I take him and his colleagues offline to Ibadan.
3) I remember picking up four Yahoo guys from my estate (gowon) on Uber. Their destination was Otta, around Covenant University. I explained to them that Uber trip will stop reading once I leave Lagos area and so I won't go. One of them offered that we should do the trip offline. I said no, let's do it online till toll gate, then I will end the trip; we will do #1,500 offline from toll gate to Covenant University and then you will give me #1,000 for fuel back to Egbeda, Lagos. The total is your bill; which was fair enough.

Ornis's point is you don't cheat the platform that brings you and a rider together. I completely agree. I remember I once stated here it wasn't right to select trips and reject others; that it makes the service unreliable for riders and every driver suffers for it in the end.

The platform will bring its own opportunities; by all means, use those opportunities well. But don't cheat the platform. This is Ornicus's point.

izzou:


I quite agree with Ornicus to some point, but let me ask you, sir, two questions

1) Since it's wrong to reject trips, can you accept a trip from Festac to Agbara in this rainy season?

2) A trip from Festac to Agbara is roughly #3000. As a driver (which I know you once was), will you accept to do it online, since you don't see it professional to reject trips?

radautoworks:


When you guys say reject trip, do you mean ignoring requestS or cancelling after accepting?

nitigriti:


Thank you sir. I don't have much to contribute again. I have a 9-5 job now. But I'm always up to date on the thread.

izzou:


Missed you sir

The reactions on this thread is the exact reason lots of organisations, (especially banks) do not put men in customer service.

They think everything is logic. Always trying to analyse and come up with various hypothesis.



Una happy Sunday o. E done do biko.

Mostly Nigerian though I did actively look for those new to the work force who hadn't learnt bad habits yet... I have the most problems with the "veterans". Poor work ethic and questionable morals. All three I mentioned earlier were veterans in the work force and I had my doubts about hiring them in the first place.

That being said, not trying to get into the whole "are Nigerians employable argument"

I love these questions!

1) I will accept Festac to Agbara online on a dry day so long as I can be back in Lagos (Egbeda) before 4:00pm. If I check Google maps to and fro and I see that I can't make it back before 4:00pm, I will reject and cancel the trip and let the rider know my reason.
As it is raining now, I cannot take the trip from Festac to Agbara.

2) I always did my trips online. If I feel a trip request will not pay me, I reject outright. I never try to convert an online trip to an offline one.

Too much sense

Guys be careful today, no let surge put you into wahala oh
*as seen from today's report on the road*

izzou:


Thank you sir.

At least, you can agree with me that while it isn't professional to reject trips, it is necessary because of the working conditions associated with it

Like I said, ornicus is right, but he may not understand the challenges involved

If you read about a driver fighting a rider because the rider refuses to pay, of course it will be unprofessional. But every driver knows that Bolt will NEVER REFUND OR PAY and driver that was defrauded by a rider

Many things are better left unsaid. I hope to see you someday sef.

Radu is watching you in high def. You mean say women are not logical thinkers?

izzou:


Cancelling after accepting

When you make a request, the driver can not know your destination. Even when he accepts, he cannot know

It's until he starts the trip, or you tell him

GAZZUZZ:


You have spoken well
