I have thought of quitting the job several times, but another thought comes to me not to. Please niaralanders, I can't keep this decision to my self alone and I need your advice. If you were In my shoes, what will you do?[/quote]

@ OP,ur current situation is not really an easy one cause i've had to see several people go through esp with ICT companies. most of them seem to have issues paying staffs despite the amount they make.
my advice to you is not to quit immediatley. since it's just december salary they owe you, then it's not so bad. stay there some more and while you're there, start something on your own with your skill.
gradually you'll be able to scale your business higher, then you can consider quitting..

I feel you bro. I have being in your shoes before. I quit the job!
However, my fall back plan failed, my plan B was to resume at anther private office. Worked for one month there and the owner of the place died. So back to square one. But right now I have my own company. Just like how you only get gold after it has passed through fire, I'm telling you when suffering hit you very hard! You will be amazed at what ideas your brain can come up with.

This is how I see it. It's obvious you are not happy. If you don't have any major responsibility yet, you should quit before it's too late. Be ready to even change states. If you are truly good at what you do I Believe you are going to make it. Don't let fear stop you from becoming who you are suppose to be. Stay strong bro.

I will advise you to quit the job, but not now or immediately. Think about what will possibly happen to you financially when you quit, then start now to plan on how you can be "ok" during the time you quit.
I am in the same line, i have a diploma in computer studies.

Sir, I understand you plight. my question is what would you be doing after quiting your current job? If you have a better plan please go ahead but if you've got not plan or intend searching then I'll advice you secure a better job before resigning

Also you can start up your own business all you've got to do is to save enough money and put things in motion before resigning.

God bless you sir

I work with an ICT company, as a technical staff. we train students when it comes to the use of computer softwares. Also we are into computer maintenance.

But there is a bad side of it, I don't get paid on time. and apart from that, the pay is not much despite the huge income that comes into the company from training and repairs of computers and printers. I receive five figure as salary and its not able to cater for my monthly needs. The worst part of it is that I was not given xmas holiday despite the fact that the school is on holiday. and what pains me most I have not been paid December salary and it has made the christmas celebration very bad for me. I think I am just being used to build the organisatiion with low return on my side.

I have thought of quitting the job several times, but another thought comes to me not to. Please niaralanders, I can't keep this decision to my self alone and I need your advice. If you were In my shoes, what will you do?

Nigerian employers are specialist at 5 figure salaries and even then, they never come on time.

The most popular in this cadre is the "Almighty 50,000". They just love that figure!

I have in your shoes. This exactly relates to my situation then, but yours is even much better.
After working for 1 year and 3 months, I took a big leap. I QUIT.
I'm glad I did. You've more things to do than to waste your time their. Trust me. You won't see the bigger picture if you remain and the worst part is that, you'll live a stagnanted live all around thesame cycle over and over again.

Quit the job, open a private tutorial centre and start trining students privately. Do home training for people that want to learn these things. If you have just 4 students and charge 15k monthly, that's equivalent to your salary

Plan towards establishing yours. It will be rough at first but don't be scared to take the leap. You can convert part of your home to your office if you live close to the road. Save as much as you can enough to acquire a signpost and other necessary equipment and float yours. You don't have to start with 10 desktops. You can start with one. The biggest part is to start. Once you take the leap and determine to succeed, you will be surprised where you will find yourself 5 years from now. I have seen such success over and again, in different areas. But do not quit unprepared. Save, then quit. You have the skills to start yours. You may even start with normal business center duties and online registrations as you couple that with laptop repairs. As more business come in, you can expand, then start taking in students. And so on. Also, do not neglect branding and social media marketing for your business. Very important.


Exactly, what he needs to do. Nice one !

your salary is 5 figures which means it ranges from 10,000 to 90,000. thousands of unemployed graduates will gladly take up your job if you quit. please keep managing it while looking for a better one. a bird at hand is worth more than hundreds in the bush. Gracias

N10000-N99999 this is the right range bro!!

I would advise that you make sure you have another job before you quite your present job...

Why are salaries delayed?

Does the company have high running costs?

Is the owner servicing a loan from the bank?

the company is not servicing any loan. I see it as part of those normal stuff to delay staff salaries, even in this feastive period that the manager suppose to be sensible that staffs need money for the feastivity.

you train people to acquire skills in software, computer maintenance and printer repairs. The people you train are expected to go and start their own business. Then you repair/fix computers and printers for clients. So you have the skills and now have contacts of customers/clients. What prevents you from starting your own repair and maintenance business? At least that's what you teach others to do, you too can do better...

Spot on.
It's not going to be easy at first but that's the way to go.
OP wait till they pay all your dues, then do the needful.
