Only if you care to listen, all those moves by your coworkers is simply a test by/from your employer. If you can endure you will soon post a sweet new topic here.I had a similarly experience bro, I am always cool, calm n happy with my job as a freelancer not knowing I was been studied by my would be Bose, when the opening presented itself he placed me in a Federal job. So pray for grace of GOD to sail through this period. Please my people of nairaland, I need your advice on what step to take on this situation. |

Dear op, nobody, job, location, friend, etc can give you happiness and satisfaction, you alone determine that. This is the time to prove to yourself what you are made of, who says there wont be other openings in your new coy tmrr? Show them that you are more than this job description, learn the jobs of your colleagues, volunteer to do their duties when they go on their annual leave and do the job better than they did it, so when they resume, there is always a difference felt. Do whatever you are asked without any grudge, do more for your coy and colleagues than they deserve, let them begin to ask you why you love this your position so much. This is exactly how I got to where I am today. Try all these and also keep looking for better opportunities outside too. 1 Like |

babyosisi: I read through the op's story and i must say something is amis somewhere. the op isnt being entirely sincere. was it possible that during the interview, he had no idea what the position was? Even if he was deceived by the company as he claims which i really doubt, did he not sign an offer letter stating in terms the position being offered to him and his job description? I just dont believe the op. Maybe he deactivated his account because his story wasnt really convincing enough. 2 Likes |

adebayosun02:So his fellow engineers sending him on bank deposit& other mundane errands is also a test frm his employer? This is a tricky situation bc eventhough d op ddnt provide details of his former employment,it seems dis new pay is higher & he clearly knew wat he was going into b4 taking up d appointment. To me,op,u let urself belittled by taking up dis job.What u can do now is just brace up,target ur first pay& get out.Some pple here are all going about d mony,if u leave u wud starve etc,but many don't know d longterm emotional and pychological damage an unhappy employment does to an individual;no amt of mony can quantify it.Get ur first pay frm dem and use d period after u quit to luk for a happier place to work,u wud b surprised what d motivation of lack of employment can push u to achieve and places u wud determinely seek employment from. Never stay in an unhappy environment,its not worth d pay. 3 Likes |

@Op,pls never give Up,there's alway light @the end of a tunnel.I was once in such situation during my sojourn in banking world.Perseverance pay,humble Urself,do whatever they tell U to do.As God lives,whom U serve,Ur lifting/Light has come.I believe U'll be distinguish.The same God that enthrone King David in Egypt will surely do Urs.U dnt need to complain to any man,take it up with Ur God and see UR DAYSTAR RISE/SHINE.The TOP is Reserved for U there. |

Its another form of interviewing process TESTING your ATTITUDE, you could be the best engineer with a bad attitude and no company wants such, patience man, things will turn out well. |

Everyone have the right words, you should know we are all humans and God has a reason for doing things am not trying to be religious here , but may be you self get your own for body and God don see am say before him carry you go up , may be him wan change one attitude for your body , who knows. just keep calm and study the job, learn how to be loyal and may be God himself is working on your Anger problem if you have any, or something else, patience my man you are not there for the pay... they always say act like a fool to get what you want .Try to go off the :"RAT RACE" |
Re: Already Frustrated With My New Job by blaise26abj(m): 8:55am On Nov 08, 2014 |
@ OP and everyone The 1st cardinal rule in picking up a new job that u are not sure about is never to resign in your old company. Take a leave for 1 week in your old company to have a feel of what is expected of you in the new company. If you don't like it there, u can take a walk. Most new "unconfirmed" recruits have lenient terms for resignation. OP- Experienced professionals should NEVER take a downward step in job description. It destroys your marketability. What kind of experience will u say u have in your next interview ? If u had a reasonable boss in your former company, approach him/her and return to the company asap because u might spend the rest of your career serving coffee and going to banks. Job dissatisfaction will give u high blood pressure. My advice is move heaven and earth to return to your former company. That role is not for you. 1 Like |

[quote]Please my people of nairaland, I need your advice on what step to take on this situation. Please no insults, I just need an advice. I am an engineer by profession, I worked as a consultant in a company some years back until I got this present job. Truth be told I was happy when I was called for an interview in a much bigger company where I presumed I will make a career. First I remember I submitted my CV to a friend who promised to hook me up with a better job, and sometime this year he called to advice I study for a test but refused to tell me the company n type of test I should prepare for. To cut off the long story, sometime last month, I was called in for an interview for the proposed job, I was elated and took an undermined risk of travelling for the interview. On reaching the office the next day, I was impressed at the company and the level of organisation in the company. I was interviewed, I performed and I was told that I will be briefed when I resume. Waow I already got the job which was what I told myself because of the way I saw how impressed the interviewers looked. Finally I got the job with an offer of below a hundred and forty thousand as gross salary, I later realized that I was employed as an office assistant, me an engineer a formal manager and to grease the elbow, it was stated in my offer letter and I was to serve a dozen of young engineers in my office. I resumed with total equality but realised that I was way below the food chain and the young stars didn't waste time to clear me on that. One of them yesterday even told me I would help him make some deposit at d bank and all that, and even went on to say that it was part of my job description. Now I know I don't have to envy which is non of my business, it's already 14 days into the job and I feel my dignity has been tramped and I may not have a quick rise here. Let me halt here but will share more ordeal I have passed through in this few days if you care. Please I just need to know what you people think and what you have to advice either for me to get out of this situation or anothe r. [/quote Humility pays indeed. Just continue the job but as u continue, strive to submit ur CV to other organisations. Its just for a while, and u will receive a call from another organisation. Just take it easy. God knows the best. |

Have you tried talking to the recruitment/ onboarding manager? Politely ask why the position you were interviewed for seems different from what though are offered. 1 Like |

Found myself in a similar situation, someone who's less qualified than I am, earns more than me & does less job. But in my case, money is not what drives me. I've got bigger dreams. Dear Op., consider your options. Best of luck |

According to maslow hierarchy of need.... your self esteem should come last in as much other need is satisfied. Thanks |
Re: Already Frustrated With My New Job by bravolad(m): 10:58am On Nov 08, 2014 |
Ego & self esteem do not carry out your job function rather competence & hardwork do. I have worked in an Organization where certain members of staff who were less competent where well ahead of some of us in terms of position & pay. But I can assure you, they did not last because the core functions were carried out by us...by the time it became obvious, they did not only loose their jobs but we were promoted and placed on the right salary. Personally, your competence at the job should take priority over qualification. If your employment presents the company with value add, sooner or later, you will be promoted. |

Guy,talk to a lawyer NOW. You might have been deceived. You didn't become an engineer to do houseboy work. Approach a manager and hold a position. It's those who take decisive views that become great. Careful with your self-esteem,don't allow anyone trample on it. Secretly start looking for a dignifying job. When you get it,leave abruptly. Then they'll know they shouldn't deceive the next person. Talk to a lawyer now.You might have been deceived. I'm no lawyer though. |
