What I have seen here is clearly two sets of advice from two types of people in our society.
Group 1: those who are naturally wired to be entrepreneurs and captains of industries.
Group 2: those who God created to be natural employees and faithful servants,happy to have a job and free from the 'wicked labour market'

Find where you belong in the two.

I think the reason she must have sacked you must have been the way you walked out on her, I.e in a disrespectful manner.

First ,let's analyse this.
1. It depends on the way she approached you, and even if you wanted to decline, you could have done so politely.
or
2.You could first accept to carry her bag and when you get to the office, you can politely let her know your stance in case she wants to try it again, let her know that you know your worth and you wouldn't hesitate to decline next time.

The lady wanted to test you or she wanted to oppress you, but I guess your ego was so wounded that you couldn't be logical.

seun, suitcase is for garment/clothing 'box', while briefcase/woman purse is what is carried to the office or lady's total fashion statement on an outing. and seun, you sound like a bad boss that will in a whim forget the job description of your employee just to satisfy your ego. you need to change, mehn.



a woman handbag/purse is an accessory of her total outfit. its similar to her earrings. it is therefore wrong for the lady architect, who in my opinion is a spoiled that may be better of for both the family business and her not to have been part of the family business. she needs to go learn the hard knocks of life.


a lady should know that she is stuck with the handbag she decided at home to make part of her look for the day. why saddle anyone with it, especially somebody whose job is not 'go for'?

i guess this bad manner like others in nigeria needs to be stamped out.

You are a CEO in the making. You have the configurations of an entrepreneur. You have received two sets of advice so far
Group 1 are made of fellow CEO minded people like you who have sense of self worth and have abundance mentality
Group 2 are the people with servant mentality and are glad they have a job and would do anything for their boss to keep the job. They have scarcity mentality and thus believe 'no job out there' theory.

You are too black and white. There have been many answers that do not support what she did, but do not support how he responded at that time of his life.
There are others who have said they handled it, in their time, in a way that did not demean them but are now business owners, highly successful too.

There are others who would have walked away after they found jobs. So no, you can not conclude from all these comments, that only two sets of people exist.

Bukatyne, see oo

OK, now the picture is clearer

1. The father is akin a very big mistake, that girl will run his sweat to the ground. She might not be lazy buy she is not doing What she likes.

2. The OP would not have gone far however he would have learnt a lot as the father had already seen his potentials.

He let simple bag carrying ruin his chance of learning from the master free of charge

He better go back and beg the lady If possible.

You weren't wrong. It was never stated in the offer letter that you job description included carrying her hand bag. She has inferiority complex and she could only overcome it by seeing you do attend to her domestic needs. She wanted to cross the line and you didn't let her. That's the same way some people get to start doing uncomplimentary things to keep their jobs. You were a man.
Don't feel bad,other jobs will turn up.
i thought i was never going to see a comment like this.


You spoke my mind.

This is the most objective opinion so far. I concur! And this answer is across the board in application- both to male or female bosses.

The same pride will finish you just like it finished the devil. Read Proverbs 11:2, proverbs 13:10, proverbs 16:18, proverbs 29:23, 1john2:16 talks about pride of life.

If you now read about Lucifer the author of pride, Isaiah 14:12-15 and beyond if you like.

Go and see How So called industry leaders lobby and beg to get There.

Employees = slaves.

Just a matter of semantics.

What is the difference? By January 1st each year, your employer tells how many days you be can sick in a year.

You can form all the big boy/girl you want. It only takes three words to reset your destiny--"-You are fired".

Labour unions are trying their best but the key to.your destiny lies at the feet of your employers.

I wonder what could have happened if Buhari believed that as a General he is too big to take insults from ordinary civilians. He had his mind set on a goal and no roadblocks frustrated his effort.

Do you see where the OP is lacking? You have to serve someone (and take rubbish sef) before you go become oga. I no sure say op get ambition.

They need that book (one that advises against self-respect) to justify their willful submission to being enslaved.

Some people are very comfortable being slaves, they prefer to accept and old lie than to discover the truth for themselves.

Funny How our posts ended similarly

Those who really want to get to the top must bend and serve.

When they get to the top, they can now form yanga

From the posts I've seen, its very obvious that slavery is in the stars of some people. Some people were born slaves! They can't help it undecided
If you're a man and you've condemned the OP, you ain't going far in life. You have zero self worth and are a disgrace to your kind.

Where in everywhere in the world? Its only in Africans and some Asia countries ....

If this is your view of the book of life there's no way you can behave or function very effectively.

I pray for you tonight in the name of Jesus that where you are right now Jesus will appear to you and show himself to you and you will preach the word of God all over the world.

I care not who you are or your religion affiliation. But your soul is very important to me.

The covenant power of God that established RCCG, will revive you and wash you with the blood of Jesus and you will serve God with all your life in Jesus name.
