A well known media company in Abuja - one of the top 5, is owing its workers salary. Some 10 months salary and others, 12 months depending on how long they have been working with the company. Most of the workers decided to take up part time marketing to enable them earn commission that would at least pay their bills especially their transportation fare, feeding and scouting for new clients.
According to the staff, this has become their means of livelihood as they are never certain of when the next salary would arrive. When salary arrives, it goes into clearing debts.
Our source informed us that the company has recently implemented a new policy regarding marketing.
The policy states that henceforth, the company does not accept cash. Every client must make payment directly into the company's account or go to the office of the company and use their POS to make payment. Any staff that brings cash to the cashier would be made to pay a fine.
This means that the marketers cannot get their commission immediately. They have to wait for the company to give them their commission after a process of sorting out the lodgments made into the company's account.
What would you say to the management of this company if given the opportunity?
RECESSION !!!
