@dvdon, I didn't get your frustration? Useful advice have been given in some of the responses but one important thing is what is the God factor in this your situation.
The present dissatisfaction could be a temporary one, have you taken time to brief the person that linked you on this development.
That the gross is above 100k should not even be any reason to stay or leave but the most important question to ask is
1. Can you cope with the job requirement(though that is the problem now)
2. Any opportunity in the company in the nearest 6-12months.
3. Will it add value to your CV.
4. Have you discussed with the owner of your future(God).
I will advice you make yourself available and get acquainted with the big ogas that run things in the organization.
Technical support coordinator today could become
Chief Technical Officer tomorrow only with a positive attitude. Cheers.

In fact, that was my mistake. I signed it thinking that it was not the discovered job because the name was changed and they lied to me that I will work with the team n the job is strictly for engineers. Only for me to discover that I am the only person holding that position, in fact the previous holder resigned and wasn't an engineer. I also found out along the line that the position was never for engineers which I was informed by one of the reasonable engineer I serve in the office.

I think the needed an engineer or a science person n this time a graduate so that the person can easily flow with their pace.

Please my people of nairaland, I need your advice on what step to take on this situation.



Please no insults, I just need an advice.
I am an engineer by profession, I worked as a consultant in a company some years back until I got this present job. Truth be told I was happy when I was called for an interview in a much bigger company where I presumed I will make a career. First I remember I submitted my CV to a friend who promised to hook me up with a better job, and sometime this year he called to advice I study for a test but refused to tell me the company n type of test I should prepare for. To cut off the long story, sometime last month, I was called in for an interview for the proposed job, I was elated and took an undermined risk of travelling for the interview. On reaching the office the next day, I was impressed at the company and the level of organisation in the company. I was interviewed, I performed and I was told that I will be briefed when I resume. Waow I already got the job which was what I told myself because of the way I saw how impressed the interviewers looked. Finally I got the job with an offer of below a hundred and forty thousand as gross salary, I later realized that I was employed as an office assistant, me an engineer a formal manager and to grease the elbow, it was stated in my offer letter and I was to serve a dozen of young engineers in my office. I resumed with total equality but realised that I was way below the food chain and the young stars didn't waste time to clear me on that. One of them yesterday even told me I would help him make some deposit at d bank and all that, and even went on to say that it was part of my job description. Now I know I don't have to envy which is non of my business, it's already 14 days into the job and I feel my dignity has been tramped and I may not have a quick rise here. Let me halt here but will share more ordeal I have passed through in this few days if you care.

Please I just need to know what you people think and what you have to advice either for me to get out of this situation or another.

I can't believe that someone can be 419ed into a job in Nigeria
Isn't this how they take young women to Europe with promise of jobs plaiting and braiding hair only for them to find out it is ashawo limited

adebayosun02:
Only if you care to listen, all those moves by your coworkers is simply a test by/from your employer.

Here i am frustrated that as an engineer i am still at home watching BBA hotshots without even securing a teaching offer...in lagos
infact i resolved to even volunteer for free only if i can leave my house and gain some experience in the oil and gas industry which is the course i studied

And i read this and for a moment i paused to ask myself if i really want this kind of offer.
To be candid with you dear,i do not compromise my happiness in anything i do.
The reason is because over time an unhappy,unfulfilled heart will degenerate to depression and that will be catastrophic both to yourself and to those around you.

My views may not be the best, as i write i dont even have 1k in my account but i will tell you this, dont remain in any firm where you are abused in the name of job offer.
Money isnt what you should pursue, self development and self improvement should rank topmost.

It maybe crazy but until you step out you wont get a better offer.


Another route to this is to build relationship with some of the staff and seek avenue to be promoted to your desired department.
This second option will mean that you'll have to forget your degree and focus on serving them and expect a favourable outcome in the end.

Sorry for the frustration...
I hope you take it easy on yourself please.
Your life is worth more than any amount any company can offer.
Preserve your life!
