You get to carry most of your work home, Its all about the results at the end of day. Working from the comfort of your home can be magic. I enjoy that flexibility

Work for a**le  inc.  wink

fun environment, sometimes its stressful other times i feel like i should be paying my employers for allowing me to come to work.

Leadership here is beyond awesome and folks are highly creative although the fanfare to the company by some employees can be a little nauseating.

Sounds perfect. cheesy

Hmm, seems everyone has a great job and is doing very well. Why then, does Nairaland "sound" like it's filled with frustrated and bitter individuals? grin

Or maybe the frustration is not from the workplace!
Re: What Is The Best Thing U Like About your Workplace by naijadiva2(f): 9:40pm On Oct 29, 2010
I love my workplace bcuz it is very chill, no one breathing down your back and annoying you, they're like my family outside of home, we have parties for everything. Noone's harrassing u about being to work on time (but dont make it a habit or don't lie about either) or about anything. Flexible schedule and paid sick leaves, vacations, holidays. awesome benefits. free benefits for public transportation.

dislike: it can get really quiet and boring here but i still love it. And not enough eateries around so yea, every once in a whle you'll hear ppl complaining about the kitchen downstairs lol

I am always d only 1 in d office and i browse all day grin grin

Im jealous o cheesy
Re: What Is The Best Thing U Like About your Workplace by AMIGO112(m): 10:14pm On Oct 29, 2010
The simple fact that i have a job. I live in 9ja so that counts for something, take home pay regardless.
Re: What Is The Best Thing U Like About your Workplace by bestestgal: 10:18pm On Oct 29, 2010
What I love

1. Closing time is 5pm sharp. No one makes you stay a minute more
2. Nice team members from different countries and background, yet we co-operate and jist all day like friends do
3. Work is clearly defined, no pressure, no tension, no overload
4. I can take my holidays whenever I want. No need to explain, just fill the form and give your boss and off I go!

What i dislike

1. If only it was a permanent job. Its only a fixed term contract.
2. My team members are mostly British, so I don't have a clue about some of the things they jist about; their food, travelling, holiday trips etc so I feel left out sometimes   undecided. They do carry me along though and I like them all the same smiley

Re: What Is The Best Thing U Like About your Workplace by lonelydude: 11:05pm On Oct 29, 2010
I don't have a job yet sad sad sad

So my house is automatically my workplace and I dislike everything about it. The weekdays, especially in the mornings, can be so hellish and I'm really getting sick about the whole thing. I keep reaching the final stages of every interview only to be rejected.

I'm so sorry for deviating.
Re: What Is The Best Thing U Like About your Workplace by dayokanu(m): 11:06pm On Oct 29, 2010

I am in Las Colinas and every one here is Indian and Chinese.

I moved to that area too recently. Why did you move away? When I was moving in.

But you would agree that we have a lot of Indians on Las Colinas and Mc Arthur
