I work in a not-too-big establishment that is owned by my brother-in-law, we have a staff of 7 ladies, 4 guys including myself.

The problem i have is that these ladies whose job is largely secretarial thinks that given my connection with the CEO, that i am financially privileged, now, i'm just managing myself, albeit comfortably, but, there is no time i can have a single conversation with these ladies without me hearing something like, 'find something for me nah', 'hope you will find me weekend money', 'you be oga nah, your own better' and stuffs like that.

Recently, one of them celebrated her birthday at the office but brought no drinks, during the celebration, she blatantly asked me to bring #5000 to support her, i was like what? The whole thing is pissing me off.

I remember a day i told one of them to buy me sachet water, she asked me how an oga like me should be drinking sachet water and not a bottled water.

The new and most annoying trend now is that anytime i send them to get me food, which is sold between 250 and 350, they either do not get me any change or they tell me that the food vendor is owing them, and we know the rest.

Please nairalanders how best do i express my displeasure to them without being petty, while also sustaining their goodwill?

I feel ur pains broda. I believe one or two of them must be sexy for u, invite them one after the other to ur house and milk the back.

If them they form, no wahala, just move to the next and lock up for that particular one.

that is not the issue, infact i will love to do so, but my boss will not tolerate me leaving my post for anything unofficial, another thing is that i do not want it to look like 'because you have ties with the boss, you can jump up and down as you wish'. You see?


So u no fit arrange change before u come work? U never do conductor work before?? Before u come work, buy recharge card dem go give u change, its better than dashing those leeches your money.

when u mentioned the word "petty". I got the picture.
you are not married, else your wife would have helped you by milking you dryer before going to work.
just joking by the way, I am not married too.
there are times you actually have something in your mind that you came up with. but because you feel the ladies will say u are actually being petty you will not do that which is on your mind.
Let me say this loud and clear AS FAR AS YOUR ACTION IS NOT TO GET INVOLVED WITH A LADY SEXUALLY OR TO ABUSE HER PHYSICALLY. NOTHING YOU DO IS PETTY.
When she gets to her private corner hear what she says
THIS GUY'S REACTION SHOWS I HAVE ACTUALLY CROSSED MY BOUNDARIES.
Friend Stand your ground and get more respect. thats how I roll in my world.
lastly, if you must send them to buy food then you can't stop them from taking your change its part of the goodwill. but if u want to do like mr baddo then always find little denomination of naira so that there will be no change to keep.
one more, you are very petty to be seeking advice on this issue

Something tells me you're still a student. No offense.

Because if you've started working, u'll know that some job descriptions dont allow u to "leave" ur company and go out in search of food, or anything.... During working hours.

Far from it. I am in my thirties. I have been working for well over 10 years in all kinds of roles. I have never worked in Nigeria because I am not Nigerian. Everybody is entitled to a break. I know in Africa people like exploiting others but for someone like the op who seems to be in a senior position it seems weird that he cannot leave the company's premises. Maybe it is time HR departments started doing what they were created for and start ensuring that the employees are treated fairly and know their rights. What do people do if they don't bring food from home? How do you expect a person to be productive if they are not allowed some freedom? Well that is my rant over. Maybe it is time we Africans learnt how to treat each other.

OP, you are the problem here, those two ladies are perfectly fine.

You cannot eat your cake and have it. They did not force the money out of you, they did not steal it, they did not defraud you.

You willingly gave them money, most likely with a smile on your face and with the aura of 'the big boss' at the same time, while enjoying the accolade, prestige, peer recognition, status, fame, greetings, blessings, prayers, thanks, etc that come with that gesture and now want to wish your money back.

Next time, simply say NO and deal with the rebuff and badmouthing or whatever that may result. Do not try to eat your cake and have it at the same time.

I don't understand how this is an issue. Why can't you just tell them, "No." Literally say, "No. I'm not giving you money" or "I don't have any money" (even if you're lying). Money is the quickest way to ruin any relationship so keep it out of the equation, if you can. These women are not your siblings, you're not their parent, I don't see a ring on any of their fingers, and their behavior is unprofessional. What's the worst that can happen? They can't fire you.

These is what I deduced from your write up,
1. You are the showy type(person that loves to appear comfortable and rich)
2. You appear to have big manism complex(what stood you from in siting on buying your food yourself? Later you will say they used love portion on you.
3. You feel not so happy that you have not been able to sleep with any if them despite being nice.
4. You are not a straightforward type of person you are good at maintaining a role you are not. And Finally
5. You find it difficult to say No to women especially the type that there is chance you could lay with.

My broda, you don't have a problem at all.

Just say NO to one of them today(if the request money from you) and stand on the NO.
Tomorrow, if another one comes, start by telling her stories that touch like... the appliances in my house all burnt due to voltage, I was pick pocketed the day before etc. If you continue with this trend, the will surely give you some space.

And to those not returning your balance after purchasing stuffs for you, Free them abeg. A worker is entitled to her payment grin cool.

And also get ready to be called names like 'stingy man', 'akagum', 'proud guy' etal.

What is wrong with your legs and mouth? Why can't you go and buy your own food? I don't understand why a lot of Africans think because they are in a higher position they should use those below them as their servants. Get off your behind and go and buy your own food. Also if you don't have money what is so difficult in telling them you cannot keep on spending money on them.

So don't you have lunch breaks or are you expected to work the whole day without leaving your desk? Maybe it is your over-familiarity with the ladies that encourages them to take advantage of you.

You deserve what you get. You presented yourself as oga to them by asking them to buy you water and food.
Are they there to serve you? The company is not yours and yet you behave like it's yours.

Get your lazy as*s up and buy your water and food by yourself!
