I think it's high time this country looks into and regulate some organization polices or should i say employment polices. here is my own story.
There is this job i applied for in an NGO finicial institution sometime around october after all the text and series of interview i was called that i got the job and i should come for documentation we got there hoping to receive our APL but no noting like that instead we were given many forms to sign some were to be signed in court while others were to be signed by our guarantors who they even ask to come with us in person with original documents of their landed properties.
Fastforward to January after the rigorous documentation we were now told that we would undergo a 2 weeks intensive training without pay after which they would give us our APL and deploy us to resume work. Brethren, it is more than a month now since we concluded that training yet nothing from them yet no work no APL or we got is they will get back to us, some person had to quite their previous job so they can participate in the training now what even pained me the most was that the week in December we were to start our documentation i got an internship job with the state government with a monthly stipend of #30,000. But due to the rigorous nature of the documentation i couldn't resume that said week and after about 3days my appointment was terminated even though i informed them while i wont be able to resume that week.

Now the red flags i got was
1) up until the day we started training this organisation refused to disclose what our salary would be. i tried doing my own findings and what i found was btw the range of #90k to #100k. But we were shocked when they tood us during the training that the salary is not even up to #60k yes! and some person quite their job of 70-80k for this job.

2) During the documentation one of the forms we were meant to sign includes a fidelity bond which states that we cant quite from the job within 2years from the day of our training or we would be made to pay the sum of #200,000.

Hello guys I will like to advise us on job change
because I was so frustrated with my recent job, after going for interview with another it took them time to reach back and told me to resign from my current job to process my new job.
After resigning, 3days before I went to the new company I was called that I will be trained for 2yrs which was the second red flag.

The first red flag is that all the top officers of the company were women which I was uncomfortable with.

I got there yesterday to pick up work tool and all I saw was a turn off
1. IT guy asked me to turn on my data to set up the laptop they will give me
2. We will be working from home till Corona clears out. No power (Gen) support, I asked for data and the hr guy said I will reach out to Admin.
3. No pension, hmo, housing scheme, transportation, I was already boiling inside of me
4. He said I am resuming as a contract staff and they will make me full staff at their convenient time. That I just heard that day.
4. I will work one year before I am entitled to leave. I will be under supervision for 2yrs and cannot leave the company within that period
5. Most annoying part is that he said it is a Christian company I nearly slap the guy.

These and many other red flags I saw.

So guys do not resign from your previous job before taking another offer. If the new offer is not good enough turn it down and continue with the old job till a better one comes.

I think the offer shd be out, written in black & white signed and submitted for your digestion before you make your decision to sign. And you only resign after you have reverted with your signature on the offer of employment letter. Nobody wise o but take good steps to safeguard yourself, many wolves are out there.

The contract of service(employment letter) sets out the relationship between the potential employee and employer. This, I believe, you have known because this was not your first employment opportunity.

My question is - how did you accept an employment offer without having/knowing the conditions therein? For me, I must have my employment letter readily accepted before making any resignation and I believe that should be the minimum standard.

For me, you have yourself to be blamed.

Anyone or any company asking you to resign before giving you a letter of employment is DEFINITELY OUT to take advantage of you and give you a worse condition!

No REASONABLY prized organization of repute does that.

I read some comments bashing him about his observations that top management of the new place being only women.

Believe me; from personal experience it can be a very red flag cos most likely, that place will be run mainly based on emotional sentiments with very little balance of objective analytic perspective men bring into things.

It's always good to have a balance of both genders in management. Women also have a very important input of "feminine intuition and compassion" they bring to the table. In addition to the fact that people are usually more at ease to trust women more in financial transactions.

It's just like a home where though it's essential to have both parents, one is not more important than the other and it's definitely not best to have a single parenting if the option of both parents being on ground is available.

Cook up something. Like maybe you were seek and needed to travel home for proper treatment blabla. Thats one piece of coin for you.
