Emmadoc:
When you are not or no longer working, and somebody asks you how is your work.

How do you reply them?

Do you say, work is fine or you just tell them plainly that you are no longer working?

I find the answers both awkward

Technically, work is fine

Situational and Individual response.

How you respond to same question from someone you bumped into at the market is different from how you will respond to someone you met at/in a summit or prolly church.

Depending on the status and relationship you have with the person, you can either make a passing comment like "fine thank you" or kukuma just say "we are still waiting for miracle"

Abi?

But the bottom line is, your response should be based on the individuals and relationship.

The replies here, shows me, we are not really a healthy society.

I let them know I am jobless and not working.

So, if its the type that will help me, so be it,

But if its the ones that will want to bad mouth me silently, let thunder strike them from all corners of the 7 geopolitical zones.

But again i am wrong, and i see more reason why i am wrong, so i agree with trying to hide or somewhat lie, although i am the type of person that hates twisting things , there are some people who are just looking for new gossips, or just have a habit of ridiculing others, so its better to say its fine to them.

I hardly trust people especially in Nigeria, so i developed this habit of just simple responses, like its fine etc. Although i would really like to say more or say it as it is.

......better to say "I'm out of work now" just incase the person has something good for you.

Work is fine! We bless God!!

Na Na.. tell them the truth. he might be your helper

it's depend on the person that is asking you such question, will you like to tell a moker on the street that you don't have a job? at the end of it they will use it against you, pls we have to be very careful with the people we opened up our secret to.

Ground no level at all

which work, u give me any work. abeg free me jare

adebayo201:
What of if the person is trying to help?

You are right on this...

exactly you got it 100 percent, this was one of the things i thought about, and realized i was wrong to consider total honesty, especially those ones that sit on the street, and have a good day chatting about everyone else and have nothing to improve about themselves.

Just imagine jobless people, who have no goals, haggling about your issues .

Is not like they can help or are trying to help, they are just bored. Neither does it concern them or have any impact on them.

You can bless God?

Are you a bigger God than God?

Mind your business

Just like a stranger is asking you.. Are you hungry? You get the point now.

yes point clear

That was how I was asked some months back.

I firstly answered, i bless the name of God o. Then, moved closer to him and say, Oga, help me for i am jobless.

The guy connected me sharply.

Sometimes, we don't know who we meet on daily basis....no need to fake up. Be truthful and let your help assist you

Eru n dupe

Either you pretend to still be working
Or be real and say you are looking for another job for now!

Answer like the White man - I'm in between jobs at the moment. Looking for the best opportunities out there. Kindly send me referrals if you have any job links in my field.

I always Ponder this when I see it. We can only worship and thank God to the best of my knowledge.

Work dey fine ... Thank u

hilltop007:
Just say the truth. The person may be the one that will refer you to a new job.

There is always that point in our lives when we want to talk to someone and clearly explain to them how we feel deep down, but you do not open up to everyone that asks you how is work.

starbuck:
I hardly engage in long discussions..

I will tell you 'Fine' and waka



I can remember someone asking me about my late mom because he wasn't aware that she was late, responded 'She is fine' and went about my business..

He later found out about it and was angry with me, I no even look his face

Babe, you harsh o

depends on who is asking the question. different answers for different people.

Your searching for new work is work itself. So work is fine. Simple

CrazyMan:
If it's someone you feel [/b]can be of help to you[b] in getting another job, it will be wise to let him/her know your current state.

If it's just a random person looking for regular gossip, you can tell him/her fine, so as to avoid being the topic of their next discussion.

You never can tell who will render the help.

Na gossip cause am o.
