Sometimes. You have to use wisdom. Carry the load make she carry her bag. Simple

klark3:

lol... U're quite funny.

Are u an architect?

Filmdirect:


Yes i have little to do today so i am writing lol. But you are right! It was his superiority complex on display. He did not
like that lady from day one, and felt he was better than her.

if they were friendly he could have diffused it by saying something like,"Ah stella (using whatever name) you want make i carry purse? (laughs) make i carry the other things help you now (laughs), then "You want do lunch tomorrow, na on me (laughs). All this said quickly with laughter in his voice as he "helps" her with other things and offers lunch in the process. she will laugh too and everyone is happy.

But he did not like her, felt slighted, wanted to make a point, forgot who he was in the company, and she played her hand. He could have made her an ally and gone far in the company.

duni04:

We're never going to agree cos our perceptions of self worth and dignity are miles apart! I respect your position though.
Plus there are things a man should not do to keep his "manliness" intact. You do not, never ever, carry the handbag of a woman that's the same age with you for any reason! Except shes crippled.

Venom104:


sorry but will your so called 'manliness' put food on the table

I was employed as an architect in a medium size architectural firm, my boss happens to be a lady.

I hitched a ride in her car after a meeting with a client on site, It's was even my first time of hitching a ride in her car, as I have always eschewed it, on getting to the office she asked me to carry her hand bag along, but I turned deaf ear to her request and swiftly went straight to the office, but she came to my office and gave me a sullen glare.

I thought the malice won't last long, but unfortunately for me, she fired me this morning for a no cogent reason.

I'm downcast and bewildered, she's just privilege to be the manager because it's her dad firm, she's my contemporary, and I was on the verge of supervising a gigantic project.

Was I wrong?

eyeview:
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.

Fabdedon:
you are too proud..
You can even get better payment if you just carry it and joke with her like..
Girls sha.. See big bag like say no be wrapper de inside.. Just simple..

klark3:

That's the point, it's her personal make up bag, my male sensibilities wouldn't permit me to do it. if it were to be another thing, like a model, design proposal, I would have graciously oblige her request.

I guess she was beginning to perceive me as a rival, and was scared of my chances of taking over, because I was highly commended by her dad for a project I executed recently. She was supposed to handle the architectural drawings and specifications, but the layout wasn't working and the project was transferred to my desk.

You know women, her dad compelled her to study architecture, so she could take over from him. she is the lazy type and wouldn't have willingly go for architecture.

Guess she did it deliberately to get me out of her way. But she didn't know I wouldn't have accepted to be the manager, because it's her dad firm.

Just wanted to build my clientele.

It's all good though, thanks man for your concern.

joncom:
I hear people say its her father's company? And she fired him?

She is the boss.

From the op's statement, like... "I eschew entering her ride.." and "I acted like I didn't hear her..." shows that he has an ego problem. Why do you think he will survive any other job?

Dumbo!
What's your business with what is in the bag?

Empiree:
I understand her request to carry her bag for her might not be part of your job descrptions. I undertand standing up for your rights.

But hey, sometimes, we need to eschew our ego. You should carry it. It's no big deal. Carrying her bag does not decrease your salary. Carrying her bag does not make you less than a man. We need to be stupid sometimes to get what we want. It doesnt mean you stupid if you had carried it.

See "gigantic project" you messed up in the name of pride. If the project was to be offered by the same company, honestly, if she reconsiders you, I dont think she can trust you. Well, see if you can persuade her to reconsider you or simply move on. Lesson learned.

If this happened in developed world, she would be responsible for unemployment benefits (salary) for a period of time (usually 4 mmonths) with extension until you can find a job. But that doesnt mean she would be fined. Goodluck man.

No u nt wrong...na we d nairalander dey wrong olodo..even if na her papa company e concern u Thank God u av learn small lesson next time u go help ur boss wash her pikin yansh even wen dem no send u.God bless d person dat will replc u.

CityNG:


Not in the U.S., not automatically.

He may get unemployment if he wins.

If I'm his employer I'll certainly make sure he doesn't win.

I mean he refused to carry a bag full of architectural drawings from the car to the office after a meeting with clients

Empiree:
I agree with you. Tell me more about this. I undertsand it's not automatic. Their gotta be application.

But I thought employers don't contest it?. I thought if employee quits is the only way they void the benefits...no?.

I hate living off benefits anyways
