I noticed that people can actually learn something. but we Africans believes in using our skin to learn. At a time in the company where I'm working (REINFORCED MYK-GRID PROJECT) this is company that is very good in everything construction, ___resdential building, hotels, plaza etc.
So at a time the Engineer gave the labourers the number of mixing to a bag of cement, but when he's not around the labourers will turn two bags of cement to same measurement of one bag in order to increase their profits.
when the engineer noticed what was happening, he hired someone to be looking after the workers while he concentrate in other things, but even at that same thing still repeated itself .
Then the Engineer told them that he'll deduct Ten thousand (10000) from their money everyday he catch them doing that again,
The next day the thing repeated then after work Engineer deducted 10k from their money, and told them that next time will be 20k, which he did as they repeats it,
The funny thing is that a bag is 1k, but if he catch them cheat with one bag he'll deduct 20k, assuming all they makes in a day is 150k total, and he remove 20k they will now share the rest,
Now the casting work started on Tuesday this week, and I was looking at the workers to see what will happen, but to my surprise they didn't cheat even in the absent of Engineer and his employee, even when it's looks like the person putting cement into the mixer wanted to cheat, one person from the labourers will remind him, and tell him not to.
Lesson: always stand on what you said as a Boss if you want ur workers to respect you.
