Can you see why having a female boss could put one in delicate situations? What is carrying her bag containing her personal effects adding to the company's productivity? People acting on feelings rather than rational judgement,dude you did nothing wrong here cos its the messenger or her PA's job to do such. If you choose to,then its discretionary but you shouldnt get fired for not doing it. |

duni04: She is not his contemporary. She is his boss, by virtue of her father yes, but still his boss. See my example on Warren Buffet to understand. Then close your eyes and imagine she as a he. Your emotions would not betray you then. She should not have asked him to carry her handbag...agreed, if there was no need to (i was not there), but he could have handled it in a way that she did not feel slighted. Just like a man should not have another carry his suitcase, a boss in the states should not send someone to buy him coffee etc and the case goes on. But that is not the real world. Wisdom. |

Kolade354:/ Nigeria and their mentality? Well my friend, you cannot live in Nigeria with European mentality neither can you live in Europe well with Nigerian mentality. You cannot challenge your boss without options. The OP has options which include loss of job. That option was exercised. The OP should move on to a more friendly environment. When a company sends an intern on a coffee run in the office, it is never specified in their job responsibilities. OP made a choice. Now he has to live with the consequences which by the way could be good or bad. Bad in the sense that he lost a job. Good in the sense that the experience will motivate and propel him to a higher level. / |

duni04: Why? So you honestly think you will be his equal in that company?? my friend you are lying to yourself. Should i tell you something? I would not work for that person if they were my friend, because i would not be comfortable taking orders. But if i did work with them, i would understand that EVERYONE in that company does not see us as equal. |

@op, you have not told us the whole story. You can't be sacked for not carrying a bag for the first time of asking. There are two scenerios to this matter. Either you have been shown some form of disrespect in the past? Or You have ignored her advance, and started going out with a female colleague, and she is not happy. Just my humble 2 pence |

duni04: You seems to be still very young, inexperienced, and unexposed. You see, I went through that phase some 25 to 27 years ago. My single advice for you is that: If you enjoy your own freedom, don't be a hindrance to other people's freedom. Eda to mo ise okuku, ko ma da osupa l'oro o. |

duni04: No need to curse me.. i have my dignity and i know my self worth.. i dont need anyone to treat me like a king or so to make me feel better about myself, at least not at my place of work.. if you want dignity stay at home, i guess being jobless would boost your self worth.. not mine |

Filmdirect:Oga pls read what the OPsaid again and stop blabbing. They're both architects. She even fumbled on a project that had to be given to the OPto do again. The only rank she has over him is that its her fathers company! You really need to think more highly of yourself. From your posts, I can tell you have a shitty perception of you own self worth, even as a man |

klark3: Absolute power corrupt...(Sorry), However you are Nigerian, should have known better to carry Madam bag as long as you needed your job. However, you refused to obey your commander in chief order, acting big boy heh? forgotten as long as she pay your salary, she is your god. Please well come to jobless people like myself let us meet at Mama iyabo street bar at national theatre for palm wine drink to console you maybe if you behave yourself might add fresh fish bowl for you, however, good luck in your next job search. |

duni04:/ The boss is rarely the smartest one in a team. The boss constantly being hard on you is God's way of reminding you to work harder to become independent. Even at that, people will still irritate you as a sole proprietor. And if you cannot figure out how to diplomatically deal with such situations in life, you are bound to fail. A lot of people hate their bosses, yet they go to work everyday. The lady is not bad after all. She let the leech get free rides once in a while. If you want respect, stop enjoying freebies. There is no such thing as a free lunch. \ 1 Like |

Clown, you cant carry her bag but you can hitch a ride in her car? you were just plain silly. so you have ego as big as a tanker and you dont have your own car? you are one of those that say am poor and proud. two killer diseases. one must kill you out of the two. come down from your high horse and leave real. good luck on your next job 2 Likes |

You were NOT wrong. You did the right thing. If you had carried her bag, that would only have been the first of several ridiculous demands / requests she would have made. She would have fired you in the end if you refused any of her other demands. Yes you should be humble but you should NEVER sell your 'head' for a job, for money, or for anything. This is not about ego - it's common sense. A better job will come. 1 Like |

duni04: No need to insult. We are having a dialogue. You do not like my POV, no problem. I read what he said. She is not in his rank or she would not have fired him! Right?! Your contemporary does not fire you! What he said is no different than what many people say to their leaders, "i can do better and they are jealous of me." Sigh. Any leader has heard people like him many times over. Whatever, he has no job. I have a balanced esteem of myself, i own my own business. |
