Should I Resign From My Job? by richmond500: 5:53pm On Aug 13, 2021
Good evening NLders.
So I got this job a week ago, when I first went to the company, everyone was advising me to be careful because the workers aren't nice to each others, even the manager and the security was advising me lolz.

I wasn't interested in those advice because i can easily make friends and apologieing when i have done wrong is something i could do to soften someones heart, so i know i am good and got things under control, also there is something I wished to gain from the company, the pay isn't even friendly, though I dont have problem with it, my target was set already and I know what I am going for but the antagonistic relationship between the staffs is on a whole different level, somehow I have been able to make friends with almost all the staffs and has tried my best to bring the workers closer by advicing them and told them how much I like a friendly atmosphere, I found out they are not actually bad but they are very careful due to past experiences.

The manager on the other hand is a sadist and very rude, he gets angry when two staffs are having fun, laughing or being friendly, he feels when staffs are friendly, they will end up gossiping him so he rather not see them happy. He called me recently and asked me to tell him things about the staffs, I noticed he wanted me to gossip about them and know their every moves, but that isn't what I will want to do, therefore whatever he asked him, I just tell him "I have no idea". Knowing that he couldn't use me as double agent, his hatred for me just grow to a level I couldn't even accommodate, he shouts at me for no reason, I get really upset, and noticed he is actually the person that has set this hatred between the staffs, I wanted to give him a piece of my own uncultured mouth because there are things I couldn't take but he is actually around my fathers age and I dont wish to drop my father at home and insult another persons father, i have been here for just six days and i am already tired, I am waiting for month end, after my salary, I'll just resign.

If u were in my shoes, what will u do

Consider that as occupational hazard. Like you could get shot being in law enforcement, or have an accident being a driver, etc


Think of your bills too...because Buhari no care if you get work or not.

Him go soon dey charge you for the air wey u dey breathe.

What kind of job is that? Don't resign at the moment, he maybe be doing that purposely to scare you away from the company, just show him how tough a real man can be, ignore his shouting, at least for the time being, things might change for good.

don't give a Damm about his shouting, if he is a sadist, show him the real maturity of a man, stand him man to man but don't insult him.

But op, you don't expect the workplace to be a beer palour or joint. In fact, that's a typical workplace Scenario for you. You have to adapt, face your work and wait for your pay. Except they are not paying, don't leave.

work shouldn't be a beer parlour but should the manager behave like a mini devil?

A manager that shouts at me is not my problem, but a sadist isn't something I enjoy since its actually the opposite of my true nature, except I am teasing someone, I like a friendly atmosphere where everyone looks happy

One man's meat is another's poison. Sadist or not, all he needs from you is performance and job delivery. If you can do that focus on that. You didn't get there to change the way he works but to work.

It may interest you that the manager is also protecting his job or else people like you who wants "a friendly atmosphere" will turn around to mock him if he fails.

Leave the manager and face your work

You are the problem here.

Op, you never even reach one week and you are trying to change the organizational culture without expecting resistance.
You knew how the company was before you joined.
Just keep your head down, learn and achieve your target from the company before leaving.

You caused it.

There's something called, " minding your business" and you didn't do that. Haven known the kind of parole going on there, you should have just kept to yourself and minded your biz but you chose to meddle in the mess that was already on ground, claiming you can handle any situation. Now you've gotten your fingers burnt putting your job on the line.

The thing is, now that you're in his bad books, even if you don't leave the job, he'll look for a way to terminate your appointment if he doesn't succeed in frustrating you out of the job.

Well, since you said apologizing is not a big deal for you, I'll advise you go plead with him to forgive and let you work in peace.

This is quite dicey.

I think, for now, all you can do is try to stay outta trouble while you are on the search for a better place.

Or you could be diplomatic about it.
When he asked you what is being said about him, you could have just told him all you do is a general discussion. There are quite a lot of things to discuss with your colleague about that won't violate the office ethics but then, I have come to understand how crazy and vindictive some people are s and I believe you handled things the best way you could so... just do your best until you get another place while also guarding your mental health jealously.

If anything starts messing with your mind, please leave o

A toxic environment isn’t for the weak.

If you’re someone like me who doesn’t give a sh?t about what people say/think, you will do just fine.

However, if you can’t cope make sure you share a piece of your mind in the open and report that Bobrisky manager of yours before you quit.

Resigning is not ideal for now. Try to accommodate and see how things pan out. If there is no improvement I'll say you should start throwing your CV out there. Resigning when you have nothing to fall back on is very disastrous. Start planning for a backup now
