Hafsat stated, “This audacity is sickening. Even sending it to you herself. Telling you how she needs to sort it all out immediately.She will still do more than this in the future”.
Shamoru Ogwu added, “I believe there should be a policy for salary advance including the advance limit. I read the need isn’t particularly serious then the employee should have looked for an alternative somewhere and paid from their salaries instead of requesting an advance one month into the job”.
Fine Bebe, “This reminded me of someone I hired last year August. Started 3rd week of August and we paid him in full only for him to come back 2nd week of August for salary advance 😭 I was so confused the 3 months he spent nothing tangible came out of it”.
