Tech company CEO shares his conversation with an alleged entitled employee

A tech company Chief Executive Officer (CEO), known as KAA on Facebook, has shared his conversation with an alleged entitled employee.

In his post, he explained that he increased the employee’s salary by 100% due to the current economic hardships but the employee did not acknowledge the increment.

KAA then decided to go back to paying the employee his former salary and he quickly reached out to complain about the reduction.

He wrote:

“I have an employee whose monthly salary was N100,000. When the fuel pump price increased to N630 per liter, I quietly increased all my employee’s salaries and this particular guy’s salary was increased to N200,000.

He received this 200k for months without saying anything. Last month I decided to revert back to his old salary to know what he would do. Today he mustered the courage to send me the message below, feeling entitled to what’s not his own. Now his job hangs in the balance.”

When a lot of netizens criticized him for being too harsh on the employee for asking a simple question, he wrote:

“If you suddenly started receiving double your salary without any prior communication from your employer about the change, if you don’t let your employer know about the excess, you are a thie7. And if you now feel entitled to it, you are not someone any company should employ.

You should also note that the majority of my employees work remotely, so they don’t even know themselves.

This increment, as I already stated in the post was done quietly without any announcement or communication to anyone. There was no demand for it too.

Every wise employee would quickly let their employer know that they received more than their salary.

You don’t keep quiet about the increment only to find your voice when what was freely given to you is taken away.

Some of you making some s!lly comments should have sense and learn some decency.”
