Former BBNaija housemate, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has advised business owners to be careful when employing members of staff.
The reality TV star complained about her experience with a driver she employed in August. This happened after the previous driver had caused the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority to impound her vehicle. She wrote on her instagram story, “Everybody needs to be careful with the kind of support staff they keep around them. My company employed this driver on the 31st of August after the former driver took one way on Lekki-Epe way, and LASMA impounded my van. I know the struggle I went through to get my van back.”
She continued,
“A new driver was employed. I assumed everything was okay until I got a mail from the management of the property I stay in, thanking me for my stay and wanting to have a short conversation with me. On the 6th of October, we jumped on a Zoom call where they dropped the reason for the Zoom call. Apparently, my driver had been conniving with the gateman of the property to steal the premises fuel. And they sell it together! I was shocked. How can somebody who has not worked for two months in a company be stealing fuel?”
She also revealed that she contacted the logistics team for her business. They then terminaten the driver’s employment at the end of the month.
The entrepreneur further advised business owners to ensure to cross check before employing people as support staff members. Tacha wrote in part,
“I know we cannot be 100 percent correct when we make decisions about our support staff. But please let’s double-check because people like this will just ruin business for you.”
