I recently took on a job, about few days ago (less than two weeks), as a office assistant/ Computer operator at an office located at Ojudu Berger. This is partly because I had just finished the just concluded Jamb utme examination and I was less-busy at home and I needed to develop work ethics and gain professional experiences that would be vital in future. There are TONs of stuff you have to learn while being in this position & I was doing great making photocopies, taking passports, and even helping out in typying. When we are less busy, My boss comes for a chat with my co-workers﹑ which they eagerly and actively participate but I don't. Not because I do not like my Boss or I'm avoidant, but I prefer being at peace with my thought and value my personal space. Then I noticed after few days, Her behaviour and mood towards me changed for the worse as she shouts at me and insults me if i make mistakes, Ofcourse, That's not a problem, but the hurtful part is she hurls insult on my personality. She says to me "You stand there like mumu'', 'Dondie'', 'Lookie lookie like deaf and dumb' e.t.c .
But today at work, I made a mistake with taking a passport photograph due to the fact that the pressure was much coupled with the over-crowded enivironment.She instantly got annoyed and said she can't tolerate a dull and mumu person and that I'm too dull. She said I should leave.

I was pissed because I had not been given a chance to learn everything needed to know Yet. I think this was really unfair since I was not even given a chance to improve. She said blame me for being an "observer", but she had to let me go.

I'm not sad this happen but this had triggered my incentiveness and challenged me the more. I'm even courting an idea of developing a start-up.

The truth is that ur introverted personality makes u look like doondi in a fast pace work place..

Secondly, ur mistakes sends the signal that u re dull which u Might not be.

Thirdly, working in an environment where inter-personal skill is required won't be ideal for your personality.

I once had a colleague like you, his dondiness made me like him cous I controlled him nd could use him to commit.
The management managed him cous they believed him coming from Badagry to apapa everyday made him dull until he got transferred to another branch were he started his 1st day with query.

Welcome to the world of working with a one man show business....

Well I think the fault is entirely yours.... I am a shy person and I don't talk much in d midst of people, but I always make sure that I chip in one or two things.... laugh at both funny and dry jokes.... and force myself to be interested in what ever the group is saying.... cos trust me even if u are in the midst of your peers.... they will consider u irrelevant

Your ex boss would have thought about u as a sadist....and u know it's not good for her business. so learn your lesson now for your future jobs

My advise is that u should try building ur inter-personal skill, even if nah small cous I know it ain't easy cous am a little better than you now..

Before moving to the islands, I lived in Festac for 8yrs without a single friend, infact I noticed it when a 5yr old boy asked me "Uncle why is it that nobody visits you"...

I don't think you were sacked for being introverted, your boss just didn't like you. You should be glad you're out of that unfriendly environment.

I can employ you to pet my elephant.
Monthly pay is $800

Be smart and agile

ok

Are you sure.

Na wa

How old are you?

Ehya .. Anyway the deed has been done so there is no use feeling sad.
Try to improve your personality and be come more sociable with your colleagues..
Goodluck man

PRIDE IS BETTER THAN TIMIDITY

I'm guessing this got to the FP by mistake

I knw wah u jez passed 2ru.
1. U do things in a hurry so as 2 catch up, there by rendering things undone.
2. U r nt d type dat learns faster. Wich means nt smart. Daz y she said u r dundy.
3. U might nt b concentratin very well. Even if u do, u dnt always understand n u dnt even ask.
4. U r always sayin yes widout proferin concrete solution dat may help even frm ur crude knwledge.

Ma opinion tho.
No offense

Oh no

Double wahala for dead body

You will get another job that fit with your personality. Don't change yourself because of this. Don't be forcing yourself to talk if you don't need to. Some other organisation will be looking for this virtue, God loves the meek and gentle. Pray more

In a serious work environment, being an introvert shouldn't matter. It is your productivity that should matter. If everyone is busy gisting, how does any serious work get done? She is an unserious lady and her business will soon run down.

An introvert is actually a deep thinker, and quite intelligent and creative. Your type is an asset to any organization if your talents are Channeled properly. Please look for a serious company to work for. Don't feel bad. You just worked with a shallow and dull set of people.

Eyaa.. U have learnt a lesson anyway.

Guy, u wicked o!

I am also an introvert and I perfectly understand your situation. I know people like us prefer to keep our space and maintain our calmness. However, from my experience of how people perceive introverts, it's easy for people to assume that you're a sadist who hates being among happy people.
My Advice: Just like I have been doing in the last few years, try as much as possible to contribute when people are discussing. You don't have to say too much, one or two lines can show people that you're not a sadist, just an introvert.
Another thing is smiling when people say funny things. Smiling does a lot than you can imagine.
You don't have to change your personality; just adapt to suit your environment. Adaptation is part of everybody's nature.
Best of luck in your future endeavour, fellow introvert.

Dis is wat introvert like us suffer from. Na by force to talk/join in a conversation ni

I know how you feel. Used to be like that but now

Sorry about your situation, hopefully you will learn from it

Being at peace with your own thought works well at home and in your break time, but at work, you should try to be engaging; even if you don't like talking, make others talk the talk just keep asking them questions most especially about things they like or enjoy- make them talk about themselves nothing too deep- their phones, their cars, their expertise


Good luck

Eeya... I know the feeling.



The only reason I keep quiet sometimes is because if I start talking it takes a proper care before I stop , 1000 words per minute


Sorry guy, just learn to talk and interact when necessary.

Work experience number 1.

At least u can add that to your cv but den U have to improve on yourself n note that if you really want to learn anything at any work place, you have to work on the bolded....U can't learn anything new by keeping to urself

Goodluck

Any experience dat doesn't make u means dat u av not learn

Just take it in your stride and improve..good thing it's pointed out now not when it was a crucial work placement.

Good luck
