Hello Guys, I know this is not typical of Nigerians to complain of getting paid without doing tangible work. As for me , am not comfortable with it but it seems no way out for me.
I am a very ambitious Mechanical Engineer with experience in various sections within the discipline because I have been working before graduation. Have both HNd and B.Eng. background. You know what that means.

I have been working in an Engineering firm for 6 years now but I have a big issue. I have been soo redundant for about 2 years now at my place of work. No sack, salaries paid as at when due, no project forthcoming and we are resume to work everyday. I have tried to get in touch with the management on we can diversify our operations maybe we can use our resources to get jobs outside our scope but all effort were futile.
I have considered leaving because staying their doesn't add value to me anymore. New jobs are not forthcoming.
Honestly I feel am sitting on a gun powder which I feel will blow one day. Even if this coy has so much money in the reserve, one day the money will finish.

Within this two years I have done some personal development training of Project Management, Maintenance Engineering and Managent because those are areas I love so much and would want to development myself privately. I had MNSE and COREN during this period hoping things will get better and I will move on. Up till now, nothing is forthcoming o. I am bothered. 2 years gone without doing anything and am getting paid. Pls am afraid. Resigning is not an option because I have bills to pay. Their not considering sacking anyone which means we will all remain their. Jobs are not forthcoming . Many interviews no reply . some would say am over qualified while I need to change job asap. Pls I need advice.

get a plan B job ( I mean ur personal small business you have passion for that will get you some cash outside that salary) because one day they will decide to shotdown when you needed cash most... am talking from experience mine was about six months no work but we get salary at the end of every month, so Bro be smart about this.

Thank you for the advice. God bless you

Solid advice from the dude above, additionally, keep investing in your passion, you eventually get to fall back on something you love doing.

You are already making the best of your situation by updating yourself academically and getting neccessary certifications. Its now time to think of a side hustle you can finance with your monthly pay while also looking for a more fulfilling job. Goodluck

like the guys above have said bro, u obviously have a thing for engines, should be easy for u to find a project to tinker with and grow into smtn u can be proud of.


what's d name of the company dough......as in, wouldn't hurt to also come and get paid for being ad busy as Bleep!

are you sure your company is not a haven for money launderers? no sane company who doesn't make money dishes it out.

Anyway this might be a great opportunity for you to develop yourself, source out clients, execute personal projects, this is the best time to start-up something since you have time on your hands.

you're an engineer, there are always jobs for engineers believe it or not, since you got professional certifications stop applying to company who see you as a threat aim for the bigger ones and who knows mother Luck might smile on you some day.

is your company hiring? lol

I need a job so I can pay for my Master's Degree

I thank God for your life. You are one of few Nigerians with conscience.

start applying to other firms and since you love to work, you may need to take a pay cut and possibly grow up the ladder.

don't wait till it blows up in your face so don't leave till you get something to do but 2 years is alot of time to wait for such a move

Ok

Femoje has said it all. Start a business or you can venture into agriculture depending on your location.
