    This is a common problem that has to do with mixing >> and getline in the same program. Basically you'll need to call the ignore() method of cin to clear the input stream before you call the getline() method. The exact syntax you use with ignore() is up to you. Often the default ignore() will work, but if you want to be more robust, there are lot's more sophisticated options available.
    You're only born perfect.

    btw, probably doesnt matter but....

    maneger -> manager
    vice-maneger -> vice-manager
    janeter -> janitor
    salery -> salary
    u -> you
    nameof -> name of
    delly -> deli

    And you should probably make yourself a default constructor so you can assign private variables.
