Multinationals are different from local SMEs. They mostly have scaled the hurdles that a young business is facing. It is not that easy bro.

That's true. I worked for a Slovakian who resided in Japan and he would never allow me work overtime or on a weekend. He'd constantly remind me to go out and meet people after my shift, lol. But I still worked overtime and he paid me overtime bonus despite not being in our contract. One outstanding behaviour i noticed was how they apologize when they don't keep their end of a deal. Like coming a few minutes late to a meeting or not hitting sales target, damn. Felt like heaven.

Some bosses genuinely care about people working under them.

Mine called me on Monday saying that he heard I didn't work over the weekend. I told him yes, that I come to work from a different town, he now said that my colleagues worked over the weekend and I was in my house gallivanting shocked shocked shocked. Gallivanting kwa? On a weekend? When I tried to counter a suggestion he made, he now told me that if we were in the military, I should be answering him "yes sir yes sir", that he's the one issuing the command and not me.
When we saw yesterday, he continued from where we stopped over the phone



Next time try this as he is still talking And just fire yourself...

A Nigerian man on Twitter identified as Wole Odeyele is of the opinion that foreign bosses treat their employees better than Nigerian bosses.

Read his reasons;
"In my entire career, All foreign bosses respect weekends and after work hours.

In my experience, its only Nigerian bosses and HR that would try to price your wages down like slave drivers.

Foreign HR and Bosses are more concerned with paying you a fair wage to ensure you are well motivated

In my experience, foreign employers are less concerned with the appearance of work and more concerned with the content of work, so they allow flexibility in work hours and locations.

Nigerian employers stick with the traditional 8-5, and demand physical presence.

In my experience, foreign bosses aren't concerned about titles and ranks and try to create structures that are flat where everyone can collaborate with anyone.

Nigerian bosses are very hierarchical and you're most talk to your boss, who talks to his boss and he to his boss.

In my experience, foreign employers encourage open dialogs. Every decision can be questioned, challenged and reevaluated.

Nigerian employers are military styled. Questioning an instruction is considered insubordination and queries are issued like meal tickets

In my experience, foreign employers try to ensure profit sharing affects all employees. Everyone rises together or falls together.

Nigerian employers like to keep the juice at the very top and it won't trickle down. Even your annual bonus is questionable.

I promised myself never to work with non-multinationals again. We are incredibly close minded and shallow in our work styles.

I sometimes think our fellow country men are our own worst enemy in the workplace."

Thank you for using the word "Insubordination!" I wonder if most Nigerian office employers and employees understand the meaning. If you try to exercise your right, that would be the title of the memo coming into your file. I just tire


That was how I worked with one idiot, always giving silly queries of insubordination. I was shocked to learn the man even went to university. In all honesty, he is one of the most incompetent people I have ever met. He has only maintained his position because of eye-service to the MD. Many people don't know their right at all. Please by all means, work with whites especially Americans and you will really enjoy your work. They are very serious minded and efficient. There's absolutely nothing like eye-service and everyone is treated with respect.

I thank GOD for my little computer school

Or work in d marketing dept of these new generation banks...where an idiot called Branch Head or Zonal Head, who graduated with a third class or 2.1 from one lousy school, will look at u and call u a laggard because u couldn't beg and meet one crazy target. Meanwhile the bank has not promoted u for over 7 years..... A place where ladies with low morals and empty brain trade their bodies to meet target and are hailed as performers, but u who is intelligent and has good result is called an embecile.

All over the world, people work during the weekends. I do not agree with the haughty and disrespectful behaviors of some employers or bosses but I think this is more of a personality thing than a local or foreign thing.

I employ about 20 people in my small firm and one thing I’ve learnt through the course of my career is that majority of employees esp in Naija do not care about work. All they care about is their salary and some will do dubious things just to scheme money they haven’t earned from their employers. if you leave them or go too easy on them, they’ll run you to the ground.
I’ve had my experiences and I’m still learning every day. I really do not blame employers that eventually evolve into nasty people.


If you start out being nice to employees they won't have the mindset of shortchanging you or under performing. The problem with Nigerian firms is that the CEOs employ their relatives, friends and girlfriends which leaves the firm with incompetent hands.

When merit is the yardstick in employment and there are welfare packages you'll be surprised at the performance and willingness to work overtime even without pay.

I must agree with you, even though I live and work in the UK, what applies here can not be extended to Nigeria. If you give Nigerians too much freedom they will abuse it.

Your employer does not love you.

It's business.

They pay you because you make them money. Not because they care about you.

If you died, they'd replace you.

Don't feel bad about job hopping.
