I would have normally pass by and say nothing but I think a few of us can use my experience! As a fresh grad post NYSC, I have had to run unconventional errand for my MD besides the normal IT project management I was employed for. Some of the errands includes but not limited to the following: Purchase of Boli and Epa on broad street, Garden Eggs, seldom picking children from school, getting him a glass of water in the office among others...Some of this errands can come quite arrogantly and I would not be wrong to call his bluff but my sight was on the big picture. I loved my job and I was learning a lot. I was professionally engaged and getting better by each new day. My plan was to leverage on the skills and make myself economically better, this I achieved in grand style within 4 years. So I dammed the ego thing and did the masters bidding.....I learnt humility and also a way I would not treat others because of the way I sometimes feel whenever he calls. Today, I am a champion at what I do. A lot of men at my disposal ready and willing to run errands for me. People love me because they think I treat them good, my ex - boss, now a professional colleague respects me and gives me lovely references any time I require it. Think and be wise. Pride has destroyed a lot. I do not subscribe to foolishness but a little shit does no arm as long as such request do not challenge morality and ur religious beliefs. 3 Likes 1 Share |

My guy, you were not in anyway wrong. Carrying of bags is not part of your duties I suppose, you may be wrong if it is.it is not enough reason for her to sack you , except you hiding something, you may even get sacked for something more little than this. Move on, you will get a better offer. Keep your esteem high man. |

You did the right thing. Getting fired might be a blessing in disguise. We have to learn to fight this evil system of 'Ogas' with impunity in Nigeria else things will not change. If you were a woman must you also swallow your pride and sleep with a male boss?? My friend, I was fired over a decade ago and started my own business. I thank God now that I was fired. It is the beginning of good things to come, so start your own firm small, take it slow and steady and you will compete with them. 3 Likes |

@Klark3 You should have to stuck to finding your way instead. That made her think less of you and she wanted to make her errand boy. This is typical of some women. She didn't succeed. Don't take it personal. It was a power play since it is her Dad's firm. You had become "insubordinate" so she had to "crush her enemy totally." Don't feel downcast, rather learn the game of power as you find another job. She will always respect the fact that you refused to be her errand boy. Why will she risk the financial benefits of the project to her dad's firm by firing you? Learn how to deal with people like her in future as they can also help your career grow faster if you know what to do. What you should have done was smile and say something like, "I can't risk making you look less than a lady by taking your bag off you. I'll get the door instead" Then be the gentleman and open the door as you both enter the office. 2 Likes |
