So, Captain Kobo is finally bowing out and in his place CHC have put a lamb, fresh from Canada who has never worked in Africa, let alone the 'N' country
Good luck to the grey shadow
Did anyone see the cartoons about a British Prime Minister called John Major?
It seems CHC has a good 'huggy, touchy, feely' HRM manual with all the right phrases. What they don't have is anyone who is going to be in touch in Nigeria anymore. Say anything you like about koboman, even if the awful housing was down to him, at least he was prepared to put up with it like everyone else. It seems the new management want to do everyting at electronic arms length as well as real arms length while they stay well away in Canadian standard housing. Anyone thinking of going to work for CHC in Nigeria right now, would do well to wait, because I hear that there are a lot of really p*ssed of guys there and CHC will eventually be forced to up the ante if they're serious about their commitment to Nigeria (in which they have less than a 50% stake).
Bristow is little better and with a mass exodus of Antipodeans from Lagos they will also soon be in desperate straits. Wait as long as you can before deciding to go to Nigeria and you may, eventually, actually get paid what the job is really worth for putting up with the lousy housing and almsot total lack of any thought for personal security or leisure welfare.
