It happened that I started this job in Lagos about 5 months ago on the island. It's in the construction sector and I work 6 of 7 days a week, even the 7th day, you'll still have to do some works in preparation for Monday. This job now chokes me as I am now useless for myself, I get home around 11pm and I can't do any other thing for my myself. All I do is work, traffic and sleep. I am planning on resigning and stop going, unfortunately the contract of the work says I should inform them a month to when I want to leave. I don't want to use a month, kindly give me suggestions on how to go about it please, I don't want to die young.

Just stop going or get to start going late/ take a long sick leave

I just hope you've saved enough to sustain you tho

Please, go by the rules. Give them the appropriate notice as required and resign honourable. You may need them for reference and all that. The required one month notice is not too long, you can endure it.

It .

Save some money for your upkeep and other stuffs you'll need to survive for like a month.

That's Lagos and Engineering for u.
Engineering jobs is all about deadlines. Someone has invested his money on the project and can't wait to start making money. On a site out side lagos, we work every day to meet up with deadlines. In this location, there is no hold up;if we close 6pm, we get home in less than 30min.

My experience in lagos made me hate that place. Exploitation is more in Lagos. They believe that, if u don't want the work, a lot of people out there are queuing for same work. I work from 9am to 9pm every day for 6 months. Some days 16hrs of work, sometimes I sleep at work(18-24hrs of work)

I was very sick and want some days off;was granted some days off and while I was at home, got a mail not to resume again.it was very painful bt I just have to leave because he doesn't want to pick my call;he doesn't want to hear anything from me.
Whenever I see any job advert from lagos, all I see is exploitation.

Just manage till u have another ;the employment situation all over the country is bad bro. If u re at home for a week, its then that u know that this life is hard.
I will advice u to leave now on only one condition, If it threaten ur health or life.
