Dear Employee,
I employed you because I saw some kind of
potentials in you. I employed you because I know that you will add some value
to my company. I employed you with the foresight that you have what it takes to
be a game changer, innovative and true to the course, vision and profitability
of this organisation.
You are here, not by chance but by proper design to give;
of your time, energy, resources and skills. I employed you not because I preferred
you but because the job preferred your said skills and expertise and the
earlier you exhibit that, the better for you and the company.
Dear Employee, I can understand when you come
late to the office because traffic was terrible but the company cannot. I can
understand when you have to take several days off because of your personal
challenges; afterall we all humans. The company however cannot understand that
language.
Dear Employee, you need to understand the susceptibility
of the world of business. The harshness of the corporate world and the dynamism
imbued in the game of transaction. What if you came just five minutes later
than expected and a business of millions of Naira was supposed to be carried
out with your presence needed? Business will not wait, rather you have to be
the one waiting for it at all time. That is what I employed you to do. It is
extremely hazardous to do business in this country and the sharks are all out
there to cripple it. I should at least know that since I pay you, you won't be
one the sharks trying to bring my company down.
Dear Employee, do I even need to start
talking about how much I spend on diesel to power the generators to power the
office. Or should I talk about the double and triple taxation that the government
saddles on the back of the company despite the fact that I provide virtually
everything I need for the sustenance of this company. That is why you can
understand that I hardly could increase salaries because we must have money
around for solvency. The environment for business is too harsh and not
encouraging.
Dear Employee, my company was built with
sweat and blood. Those sleepless nights I had, staying up so that I can
research and read up on what must be done to make this business work. The days I
couldn’t afford to pay my children's school fees but I had to invest in my
business. The days my car broke down on the bridge in the middle of the night
because I could use the money I got to buy a new car. The days I had to borrow
a friends internet just to make sure those mails are sent. You need to know
that this company was once a dream and now that dream is what you can relate
with and it pays you.
Dear Employee, I think now you can understand
why I would rather promote staff A over staff B because she didn’t give excuse about
the broken down printer in the office but used her money to print the documents
from the cyber café? Now you can comprehend why staff A will be seen as a
better staff than B because she didn’t take maternity leave months ahead but
rather stayed till the day she gave birth. Oh, I know the excuse you are about
to give; Our bodies are different right?
Dear Employee, commitment and passion to your
job is easy to see by me and the company when you give it. It appears in the
conversation you have in the office with your colleagues at the close of the
day. The days you stay back just because you really understand that the
documents really needs to be finished before the morrow. The weekends you
sacrifice because you see the backlog of work and you know the company can't
afford downtime.
Dear Employee, you are important to this
organisation that is why you are still here. Show that by the relentless contributions
you give, the skills and talents you are paid for and the company will reward
you.
Dear Employee, it is my pleasure and joy to
tell you that we would never intentionally hurt you, ask you to do jobs
deliberately meant to be debase you. Every assignment you get was and is meant
to challenge, teach and improve you. The projects put in your care are meant to
be stepping stone and not stumbling blocks. The company relies on you to do
your bit because you can't do it all but at the same time see yourself as very
important to the organisation and without you the company will not go on.
Dear Employee, it is with sincere gratitude
that I write this to let you know how important you are to my organisation; if
not, I would have done the job all by myself. Please brace yourself, there are
lot to achieve out there. Both of us can achieve it together, everyone knowing
his part and dutifully playing it knowing that the vision is bigger than both
of us.
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
YOUR BOSS.
