Yes, you are wrong. As long you are not working for yourself, you need to learn to 'suck up' to your boss, especially in our kind of environment (Nigeria). Sorry man, goodluck at your next job.

are u sure u are a graduate? So u mean if u were d one, u will do it because u want 2 save ur job, dont worry, by d time u becom an errand boy in d office, d same persn will treat u as if u r worthless because u dont appreciate ur value, mtchew.....

I hear people say its her father's company? And she fired him?

She is the boss.

From the op's statement, like... "I eschew entering her ride.." and "I acted like I didn't hear her..." shows that he has an ego problem. Why do you think he will survive any other job?

logica:
Once again, I am not your FATHER.

and you are MAD

Kolade354:
If this shld Happen in europe he will have to sue his boss.........But here in Nigeria such can happen.

/
You are mixing Apple with oranges.
Stop comparing Europe and Nigeria. Ever heard of 6 months salaries in arrears in Europe? He could be fired in Europe surreptitiously. It doesn't have to be immediately.

Don't forget the OP has been getting free rides from the boss. And he couldn't help in carrying a bag. He is an ingrate. That's all.

Op just to carry handbag your ego couldn't let you. What if you were her Personal Assistant(PA) wouldn't you have done it? now u lost the opportunity of a good project. You messed up sha! anyways welcome to the hunting market.

My dear girl,
If he was the PA,then he'll know that he was employed as her PA and then tending to her personal needs will become part of his job description, but he's an architect,a professional and valuable one. The fear of the labour market should never ever make you stoop so low to do things against your conscience.
I have worked with various financial institutions before resigning to run my own firms and I have quite a few with me and everybody is expected to conduct themselves in professional manners.

duni04:

She fired him cos its her dads company!!!

No! Read the OP writeup again. He said the lady was his boss. He then qualified how he saw her. That her being his boss was because her father owned the company and not that she deserved it.

In HIS mind she was his contemporary and to HIM he was better because she was not efficient enough at her job.

She was his boss from day one.

You were wrong. Write her an apology letter.

yea.. I agree with u.
Just let her know that u realise u were in error and that u are sorry although u do not want to return to d job again and u beta move on. But guy, u are proud which is too bad.
The earlier u stoop, the earlier u would conquer.

or maybe she has a thing for OP

Filmdirect:


Don't believe everything you read. No person on top did not have to do a little something they might not have liked to get there. Not talking about immorality here. You know the show "Shark Tank?" see how the monied people treat the business person. in reality you wouldl not let someone talk down to you because you want their investment, and yes if it is abusive you should be a stop to it, but honestly unless than, you keep quiet and bid your time, knowing that one day you will use their resources to become greater.

Honestly the problem with you guys is you always assume other societies run like your Nigerian eye service driven culture. The truth is, with his personality type Bill Gates would've found it difficult to make it in the Nigerian space. He had very little patience and he was a rich kid (millionaire parents. He never worked for anybody.

You have no business carrying her hand bag.

She was trying to belittle you.

OP was within his rights to say no.

You lost your job but retain your dignity - anyone saying that the OP was wrong is a mental slave and slaves can never be trusted and will do anything to get ahead.

A man with no values is no man at all.

He is the entrepreneur material. He was not born to be a slave but the boss. As an employer I can tell you that that young man will create his own niche in the system. Just watch him.

logica:
You say it as if falling is always a bad thing.

Brother, falling is not a bad thing but pride is the worst things in this life, it causes downfall.

Other things in life can make you fall, eg laziness, others lie against you, bad behaviour and all sort. These ones you can recover by being vindicated or change of attitude. But when pride is involved, you won't know where it is coming from. If everyone is telling you that you are proud you won't still believe you are.

So fall is part of life, it is there to teach us lessons of life and make us a better person. So brother look into the word of God as a mirror, because that's your manual of life if you believe it. So whatever reflection you see there make necessary adjustment where required

You are more experienced now and other Nairalanders that read this will learn from your experience.

You are blessed.

I live in America.

If he were a millionaire's kid of course the analogy falls apart, but if he were not, or others that were not, they had to bend a little before they
got to where they are. Again not talking about immorality.

What I have seen here is clearly two sets of advice from two types of people in our society.
Group 1: those who are naturally wired to be entrepreneurs and captains of industries.
Group 2: those who God created to be natural employees and faithful servants,happy to have a job and free from the 'wicked labour market'

Find where you belong in the two.

Home boy u re nt wrong,dis africa men re nt 2 b caring hand bag 4 ladies

Headlamp1:


Oh so it is nicer to carry the excess load but not her bag?

Wetin be bag? no be load? What if the excess load includes another hand bag? He can carry that one?

You are thinking too shallow jare for my liking.

If she had extra luggage, he should have helped her.

It is like you didn't brush your teeth this morning....

Just watch the next comment you make about me.

Now read this....

klark3:

That's the point, it's her personal make up bag, my male sensibilities wouldn't permit me to do it. if it were to be another thing, like a model, design proposal, I would have graciously oblige her request.

I guess she was beginning to perceive me as a rival, and was scared of my chances of taking over, because I was highly commended by her dad for a project I executed recently. She was supposed to handle the architectural drawings and specifications, but the layout wasn't working and the project was transferred to my desk.

You know women, her dad compelled her to study architecture, so she could take over from him. she is the lazy type and wouldn't have willingly go for architecture.

Guess she did it deliberately to get me out of her way. But she didn't know I wouldn't have accepted to be the manager, because it's her dad firm.

Just wanted to build my clientele.

It's all good though, thanks man for your concern.

You see the embolden?

Be careful with how you run your hand...

Bro, u v made ur decision, so stand by it.

klark3:
I was employed as an architect in a medium size architectural firm, my boss happens to be a lady.

I hitched a ride in her car after a meeting with a client on site, It's was even my first time of hitching a ride in her car, as I have always eschewed it, on getting to the office she asked me to carry her hand bag along, but I turned deaf ear to her request and swiftly went straight to the office, but she came to my office and gave me a sullen glare.

I thought the malice won't last long, but unfortunately for me, she fired me this morning for a no cogent reason.

I'm downcast and bewildered, she's just privilege to be the manager because it's her dad firm, she's my contemporary, and I was on the verge of supervising a gigantic project.

Was I wrong?

Not only were you wrong, your action reflects complete stupidity and mental shallowness. I would have fired you on the spot. "She's just privileged" you say, which shows you're likely also the rude, arrogant, and ill-mannered type who is lacking in proper upbringing. Why don't you claim your own privileges by going to work in your own father's company, or set up your own. Serve today and be served tomorrow, that's how life works.

As u no gree carry her handbag name "Godwin" o my Breda

I think you should report the case to her dad.
She must be a silly brat.
