My fellow Nairalanders please what should I do?

I was fired on Thursday and no reason was stated in the termination of appointment letter.

Should I go to industrial court to seek redress or write the management to ask the reason why my appointment was terminated, because throughout my 2 months stay in the company I did not receive any notice of warning neither was involved in any fraud case.

Please what should I do?

I was employed as a subordinate under the head of a department in November last year,meanwhile before resigning my appointment in my former place of work,I was the head of the same department.

Right from day one in the new workplace,she started making my work difficult, she did not give me proper orientation and failed to attach me to a trainer,as a matter of fact she said to me and I quote " you should learn how to use company software in two days, in short you should be on your own in three days"

Everyday she makes life horrible for me, she hauls insults at me as If I was a greenhorn in the field. infact there was a day she said I was looking like a slowpoke, that I am too slow for her liking.
A month and some weeks later in the employment,she said she has done her assessment and submitted,that I scored zero in every area,that the fresh graduates perform better than me.

At that point,I sensed she was seeing me as a threat and for peace to reign,I called and tried to pacify her,she said she does not have anything against me.

and being new in the system, I have to learn how to use the software and office procedures,but this madam does not have soft spot for me on small mistakes,she always say this' you don't know anything you better go back to your former place of work'.
I got fed up and reported the matter to the HR,I was told to be patient with her and asked if I wanted redeployment which I said yes.

She relegated me to the state of nonentity by attaching me to an intern( to be assisting an intern).

When my appointment was terminated on Thursday, I was told to go and do clearance, to my amazement when I took my clearance form to her, she was not sympathetic at all rather she said "so fast" and signed instantly.

I knew my sack was orchestrated by her and I want justice for her wicked act.

please how should I go about it?

sorry abt dat, you can get the best advice from ur lawyer

Yes you have the right to seek redress if there is no cogent reason given for your sack.

Thank you all for your contributions,I forgot to add this ,
When I noticed she was not at peace with me and didn't want me to learn,I stylishly attached myself to guy who taught me how to use the software,when she discovered I could use the software,she stopped giving me assignments.

I think u av right to take legal action against the unscrupulous termination of your appointment. don't jst back down provided u were not appointed through the back door.

I entered through main door bruv.

Infact the HR begged me to take an xyz salary and when I went to pick my appointment they were convincing me to start immediate but I told them to oblige me 30 days notice to my former employer

From all you wrote, I can confidently tell you that the woman is behind the termination of your appointment.

What I will advice you is to leave everything in the hands of God.If truly she has wronged you, I believe she can't evade karma.

Have always pray to God that throughout my stay on planet earth, I don't want to be a subordinate to any, female in any work environment. Guess what ? God has always granted my wish.

I believe God will provide a better Work for you soon.

I dey come

Look for another job.

1. It will be on record that you took your employer to court and it might hunt you in the future ?

2. They set your case null and void the time she gave you zero on performance. With that, no court will tell an employer to keep a non performing staff. (Not saying u are not)

Lesson :
Anytime you are given a terrible appraisal, fight it till u get what u deserve as they are simply preparing you for exit.

3. Remember the rule that says "Never outshine your master" always. You must have caused that threat with your approach. Remember you introduce yourself as head of the department you now second.

3. Just let it go and look before you leap next time.

All the company lawyer need to defend the company is simply the economic recession and the need to lay off non productive staffs (already documented against u by virtue of the last appraisal) to make the company a bit profitable.


Accept my sincere empathy and best of luck.

i dont know you, your boss or anybody involved in your saga.

Baba move on.... Better options ahead....

Sorry about that, he doesn't have to give u reasons..He could just claim redundancy. However, u re entitled to reasonable notice (usually one month ) or payment in lieu of the notice. If he didn't give notice, u can sue for wrongful termination.

Go ahead. Beep me if you need any assistance

Op, if you can SUE HER A§§..what rubbish!

But be careful at the same time tho..You might make an enemy for life.

Hmmmmm.. This should be an eye opener for people who love changing jobs cos of little differences.

All the best bro!

VampireeM:
Sincerely I do wonder why most of we Females are Evil.. She reminds me of my previous female boss... They will tell you they ve nothing against you meanwhile behind you they say and hatch all sort nonsense...

If you ve the will to sue her please do but meanwhile you can leave everything in God's hands and believe she has paved way for you to get to a higher and better place.

Employees in Nigeria are on their own.many people don't know that as you have consumer/customer protection,you also have employee protection.
Employers especially in the private sector in this country behave as they like.
A pity really!

So fast?? omo dat woman mean u gan..are you sure you where not screwing her daughter?

go for it. and squeeze the company for every last penny they've got in damages.

from the little experience have gathered so far from HRM which says...



A employer must have a good reason for dismissal and a dismissal must be carried out fairly, otherwise the employee may have a personal grievance claim against the employer....


Bro.. U are a star.. As someone said let this be a steppin for u to step up to greater heights.. Sueing them is a waste of time and money.. And even if u eventually win the case.. I cn assure u that u wont be convenient there and they cn always find another means to get u out....


Forget it bro and move on.. just see it as one of those experience u have to pass thru to get to the top.. All is well...

Go for 3days fasting and prayers on ur knees...u will become her boss in no time...trust someone gaf similar testimony after dis encounter.

Employers don't state the reasons for disengagement to avoid legal issues. Moreover the employment letter must have stated that either party may terminate the appointment by giving a specific notice period before or after confirmation.

All the same, a good lawyer would help you sort this out. Iy they don't need your services you shouldn't have been lured out of your former job.

Good luck as you fight this injustice. I feel your pain.

get the best lawyer not those quack lawyers, you have a better case with the best lawyer and the worst case with quack lawyers because they will milk you dry without making any sufficient point @court
