klark3: OK. Let's look at a reverse scenario: You are the boss and your dad owns the company. Would it be out of place to tell your employee (a lady who happens to be your contemporary) to carry your bag? I guess not. So, you're wrong. You took offense because she's a lady. That's immature and unprofessional. Also, if not for anything else but the big opportunities coming up, you should have played the fool. Knowing when to 'fight' and when not is real virtue. 1 Like |

klark3: You obviously couldn't do it because she's a lady, and secondly, she's your contemporary. But you forgot that she was your boss, and the one paying your salary. If your boss was an an older man, would you think twice before accepting to carry his briefcase for him? Moreover, that was the first time, and it's not like she asked you to do what is morally wrong. If I were you, I would have carried it, albeit with displeasure. However, I would not take it if she decided to make it a habit. Ladies sleep with employers just to get a job, because of the difficulty in Nigeria. Nigeria is not an ideal country, so we tolerate a lot of mess, just to survive. Yet you couldn't humble yourself to serve in dat little capacity. I think your pride cost you your job. |

U r not wrong mate... Will never stoop so low and its not even part of my job in the company.. She will later send you to the market to buy efo and cray fish later. Big up man... ps..there is an adage from my side which say what you ill not accept when you are rich,you need to curb them from the time you were broke... But if you are the type that can do anything for daily breadGo and apologize then and might forever be her errand boy but you can still apologize and never carry that Godamn bag.forget the fact that we r iin nigeria and there is no work...some things pass money depending on how you were raised or where you come from...if it was my father who owned the company,i would never had asked anyone to carry my bag so all the bull crap saying that if it wa because of woman and blah blah...It no go work for this side... |

On the flip side though, I also think the ideal thing would have been to COLLECT the bag, but then when you two go inside perhaps to her office you can then tell her you didn't want to cause a scene out there, but you don't feel comfortable carrying her bag. And that you'd really appreciate it if it wasn't asked of you again. She would be happy about the fact that you care enough about her image not to stand her down outside in everyone's eyes, but brought it up to her in private.....much like you would like your babe/wife to treat you This will cause you to remain on good terms AND will also cause her to respect you. As opposed to just boning her like that. 3 Likes |

sukkot: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. 2 Likes |

duni04: Demeaning? Really? To carry a bag for your boss, who employed you and has the right to fire you at any time is demeaning? They are just contemporaries by age, but it doesn't change the fact that she was the boss. 1 Like |

duni04: No, his reasoning behind it. And she is NOT his contemporary. She is his boss. It is really hard for some men to accept that. That action was not demeaning because it was a handbag, it was demeaning because to him, she was only there because of her father and he is her equal professionally, plus a woman. The man lied to himself. Let me ask you. If you were in the same school as Warren Buffet's son and he later joined his father's company as a VP of operations, and hired you would you honestly and foolishly imagine you were his contemporary? Honestly?! I don't care if you shared the same desk, at that moment he is not. Now if you can not endure that, then do not work for him, but if you do, guess what? He can have you fax papers for him as he talks to his true contemporaries on the phone. 2 Likes |
