cool318: Feel free to share your experience, mine was a Sadist Boss in P.H who is into HSE, we slept in the same Hotel room when we went to Lagos for training, gives 2,000 as allowance from Mon-Friday, i make millions for him, no appreciation, after he crowns it with a 24 hrs ABC night bus from Lagos to Ph. We will soon put advert because i have left him. Horrible man.

nkem Kalu: How about a boss who went out with his employee and worked late in the night with the employee at Victoria Island....then dropped the employee at Apple junction by 1 a.m and gave him N1,500 to go and look for a hotel to sleep. He never even bothered to drop the staff at the hotel he hopes the employee will get at N1,500 per night and he drove off expecting that employee to be in the office by 8.a.m same day? MEANWHILE, THE EMPLOYER IS LIVING IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND BEST HOUSES IN FESTAC AND IS STUPENDIOUSLY RICH.

Seadbari: How about working for eight months without salary? they are mean like hell!!!

highlandre: I think the worst employer for 2012 is the Federal Government. There has not been any merit-based recruitment exercise this year at all; recruitments into federal ministries, boards and agencies have been enmeshed by acts of partiality, man-know-man syndrome and serious level of bribery.

The FG as a direct employer of labour and supposed regulator of employment in the private sector through its policies has not only failed Nigerians, but allowed Indians, Lebanese and other useless foreigners and Nigerians to exploit my country men and women, by paying us peanuts, and subjecting us to worst kind of conditions of service. May God punish those among our leaders who made 2012 an ordinary, unprofitable year for Nigerians, amen!

ayandee: U can't describe FG as d worst employer until you've been offered an appointment. Those employed by d FG are in a better position to comment. I agree with u that there's so much partialty in the recruitment process and it only takes d grace of God to get an offer if u do not have godfathers. However, having worked in the private sector for some years, i can confidently say that d FG has favourable working conditns- salaries (though not necessarily mouthwatering) are paid on time, annual leave (though without pay) is granted, 4 months maternity leave wit full pay, trainings, pension, 4pm or 5pm closing time depending on d agency, access to loans from cooperatives etc Just don't give up. Keep trying. Never conclude u won't be employed by FG cos u don't have a godfather. God the father is all u need.

1forall:

Even if it's the best job in the country, are you saying that it's okay to recruit largely based on partiality, connections and bribery? And you mention God in the same breath?
That has to be the largest pile of sh.it I ever heard.

Rukemi291: Mine, i worked as a 'trainee desk officer' in a dental clinic located within one of the 5-star hotels in Abuja.
A white woman (the wife of the chief dentist) is the MD.
Whenever she walks into the clinic, i start shaking visibly coupled with the terribly cold temperature of the Hotel because all she does is throw me off balance and complain about everything including the way i write letter 'd'; she shouts and embarrasses even in the presence of waiting patients.

If she says 'jump', who born you to ask 'how high?'.. Just keep jumping until she says stop.
She behaves like someone that uses weed as sugar, salt, maggi, even spices.

She came to the office one wonderful Friday and told me 'i have bad news for u, i can no longer pay your monthly #27,500 (that day i counted #500,000 that patients paid for treatment o).

But, she indirectly led me to my present job sha(the best job i can think of).

One day, i will walk into the dental clinic and get my teeth done by her husband. I can't wait to see the expression on her face.
