I see many people blaming the Op.

It was a difficult situation that anyone could have done the same thing. Considering there was a need to be met and you were working to meet that need. You could have stolen an item from your boss and sold it but you didn't do that. You had probably calculated that you don't usually do much work on duty reason you accepted to do another work while you were already at work. This is wrong.

Plain truth is that, you could have waited till when you were off-work or you outsourced the work to someone else at a reduced price and you take your own cut.

He has the right to sack you considering the situation but If I were in his shoes, I would have given you the first and last warning considering your motive.

Why settle for gateman's work when you could do digital/affiliate marketing and earn something tangible online

You and I have no commonality of knowledge
Your know is your know
My know is my know

Anybody is free to drive against traffic on a one way road as long as they are not caught
Once caught they must accept and deal with the consequences.
If a military man leaves guard duty in some places he will be shot
It is not compulsory to do a job requiring you to sit down in one place. That is why Igbo men are good at shopkeeping and Fulanis are good at herding cattle. Igbos are good at sitting in one place whether at shop or at home
While Fulani like to move
now he can set up his grasscutting franchise and move around as much as he likes

You have no point. Going by your explanation, I would have done the same. But pay you immediately for the Three weeks. Security is based on trust. 100 percent loyalty even if your Oga is a bad person.

I picked up the gate man job ending of last month out of no other better options at the moment and seeing what economic hardship was making me pass through, especially waking up with no hope of where food is going to come from, make i no go steal, God abeg.

I have been doing the job well. Yesterday, while strolling around the area, I heard one man saying he is looking for someone to cut grasses in his compound. Being something I can do to collect the money to help myself as i was hungry and peniless, I met the man and told him i can do the work and we agreed on N15k.

So as my oga went to work, i rushed down to do the work. While I was on it, i dont know what brought my oga back to the house and he didnt see me at the post.

He called me and asked me where i am. I rushed down to the house. I told him i got a small contract of 15k to cut grass for someone in the neighbourhood.

The man got so angry on why I left his duty post to go do another job. Worse was that the person i did the job for was more like his enemy, as i later learnt they've not been in good terms.

He sacked me instantly. I begged this man as a human being to please forgive but he refused to consider me again. He even said, "go before you go and collect poison from my enemy to come and kill me".

Please what is my business with whatever fight the two of them are fighting?

That was how I lost the small job i just got 3 weeks ago and now back with nothing. He should have paid me for the 3 weeks right away but he didnt, rather he said i will find a way to pay you for the services so far.

Please, the country is already very hard and all I needed was something that could give me immediate money to survive on first.

Sad how struggling citizens are being badly treated everyday even while legitimately hustling for survival. How he will pay me for the 3 weeks, he didn't say it.

It's painful but it is not the end of the world.

I will make it too. Amen.

It shall never be well with hunger, agent of poverty.

I don't know I found this your short narrative very funny

The most awkward part of this thread is seeing people calling Gateman a Security who secures life and property!

I do not judge whether by intention or action

Actions have consequences
All adults know that
If you have an exam in the morning and spend the night drinking alcohol there is a likely consequence
If you are lucky you might escape if not you learn the lesson
If you take your monthly salary to the betting shop and bet you must be prepared for the good and the bad as an adult

Boss sack person nor wan pay half of the work....is dat the kind of boss u wanna work for

Be playing with your security, ehn, tell him i forgive you and continue the Job, and he will do something worse, then later people will say it is a super story of super sorrows, because he does not understand the value of keeping the place safe.

Unless he shows he really understands the gravity of the situation, then he can continue.

I recommend testing guards and enticing them to see if they are trustworthy.

ispreloaded:
he said he lock the gate... Na billions Dy the house? The boss was too hash n heartless,he should have understand the nigga as man to man n even take courage from his true story....abi na lie lie gateman u prefer?

This story sounds like Prosper and oga landlord.
You made a mistake by leaving a permanent job to do a temporary job..
However your boss over reacted.
He should have given you a 2nd chance to redeem yourself.
Pick you yourself and move on.
More doors will open up for you.
Better doors indeed

It is even possible it is d man u went to cut grass for that called ur oga to mock him on d new security guard he got, that y he came back home to confirm if anything was not right.

Sorry for your loss but you seems like a carefree person(if your story is true o, cos I doubt it). Common sense should have told you you were wrong n also wrong to tell your oga you left his work to go n work in another place(so funny).
