Worker takes selfie in boss' office
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Oluwanishola Akeju, on Friday, July 2, narrated a significant encounter he had with his employee.
The Itsmy Hq CEO on Facebook said he saw his cleaner taking selfies in his office as he walked in one morning. The worker had to quickly hide his phone when he saw him.
Oluwanishola said he requested his phone and asked him to sit on his chair. When the cleaner did that, the CEO took proper shots of him.
