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.

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.

You weren't wrong. It was never stated in the offer letter that you job description included carrying her hand bag. She has inferiority complex and she could only overcome it by seeing you do attend to her domestic needs. She wanted to cross the line and you didn't let her. That's the same way some people get to start doing uncomplimentary things to keep their jobs. You were a man.
Don't feel bad,other jobs will turn up.

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?

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.

You are right, pride is not enough reason to put your job and dream on the line. If GOD could withstand been spit on because HE had a goal, what then is a Man unable to withstand ridicule from a woman?

andyanders:


Yeye man. Money you no get.Your parents, no money and instead of you to cool down and get what you want so that you can one day set up yours and be an employer of labor and you are here trying to feel a big boy when you got nothing and has nothing.

If indeed pride made you fall, the same pride will get you back on your feet.

I will even feed you, your parents and your generation. When your egocentric behavior has taken you and your op friend to the dustbin now, I pity you both.A day will come when you will even wash a woman's underwear and get paid for doing that.

Guy, you are more than wrong.. She is your boss and not your gf.. Even if she is. Younger than you, you have to carry it..

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.
