It's any activity that beautifies a piece of land or area. This can include mowing/cutting grasses, planting flowers etc.

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.
What was u expecting when u told him you are working for someone else? An award?
If I were you I would tell him something else
Re: See Why My Oga Sacked Me This Morning. Did I Do Wrong? by fortunechy(m): 10:52pm On Sep 18, 2023
Sacking u is justifiable. it's wrong for u to leave ur duty post especially security job

BennyDGreat:


Why did you take the security job at the time?

The pay was good, very good. Better than most jobs out there. But like I later discovered, it was very stressful.

He is in possession of the keys, is he not?

Doesnt make him a security man still, because he wasn't trained in that capacity to handle any intrusion from external forces. If your definition of security man means handling of bunch of keys, then it will suffice to say the owner of the property was also a security man.

Who will answer to it's disappearance

Dude you wanted to use the free time you had to work and earn 15, unfortunately that wasn't free time more reason why that guy said you lacked wisdom.

You ought to have waited till night fall while everyone including your Oga is asleep then you can quietly go and cut the grass. Wisdom is profitable to direct

Cut grass at night? Do you consider possible reptiles like snake?

Was door or gate left ajar or widely opened for easy Intrusion?

I believed the employer seeked the service that man just to relief himself of the stress opening the gate whenever he is coming or going out.

Perhaps, the employee should explain to us what we're his assigned duties.

doing the right thing even when no one is watching, is called INTEGRITY. Your boss don't have to be home before you do your job diligently. He wasn't wrong for sacking you. If he could protect his house by just locking the gate from outside as you did, he wouldn't have any reason to employ a gateman in the first place. Pick the lessons from your dismissal, and look for another job. Good luck!

That's true. However, your Boss was right in his actions. Security is no joke! You left his property and went to do something else he didn't employ you to do.

Next time be smart Dude! Instead of trying to earn 15k that would warrant you losing your job, just avoid the side hustle entirely
Re: See Why My Oga Sacked Me This Morning. Did I Do Wrong? by 064cl: 8:33pm On Sep 22, 2023
That's a big offence you shouldn't have left your duty post without informing someone. Just search for new job.God will help you. Again if you're employed directly you can collect your balance. But company offence no. 2 grin grin
