Mandu94:Why did you have to do that? You are doing what you accused men of here. Can't you see you are guilty as well? |

@ Mnadu94 Do you mean you can't relate with me on the same level? So much for gender equality. You aren't doing feminism any good with such strict attitude. This is what we are talking about. |

all4naija:"Don't try to go personal with me. Firstly the request was simple yet the employee took it so personal he ignored her. That shows his ignorance and how he views women. Once again he WOULD have done it if the manager was a man." He said I doubt you have worked in a structured company before. (You know what , Im sick and tired of you). You take it like a man vs woman issue. I don't. |

Mandu94:This is why I like you. You have uncontrollable anger at times. .You take everything personal. I understand that but if he rejected a male boss in the same manner you wouldn't say the same thing. Let's be sincere with ourselves for once. Don't you think the female boss overreacted? |

Mandu94: It won't be different. The fact that most women who gravitate toward the ideology of feminism often than not react negatively in most situations like the one we are discussing about. This is a single incidence though. There have been many instances around the world where female bosses receive fair treatment from male employees than the female ones. You are begging the question by procrastinating on what you think the outcome would look like when it is a male boss involved and it is not helping in your fight for equality. How are you? No fighting, please! |

feminism in Nigeria please tell me that's a joke, am yet to see one that actually know what feminism is, most throw the words to think it means favoring women over others. but really it's not in my Job Description to carry people's bag but then again it's not a structured company so anything goes. This won't happen in a structured organization, this is a company where one person plays God. |
Re: She Asked Me To Carry Her Hand Bag, I Refused And She Fired Me. by Nobody: 11:00pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
Mandu94: That's actually false, because they mentioned peers there's no way I would carry peer's bad just because his father owns the company. regardless of the sex I would turn them down. It's not in my job description, also he is respectful as an employee but not a servant, he's duties are confined to his work and not personal tasks. Also am curious how has refusing to help someone got anything to do with how the society looks at women. There are women in top organizations who men look up to; so not sure where you're getting at. 2 Likes |

pcguru1: Little events represent larger issues. Its about being able to see that rather than seeing things literally. You may say that you will refuse if it was a man, however you see it more degrading if it were a woman. |

klark3: Yes and No. You were wrong because you need that job and the personal experience from project. Sure, you're not her personal handbag man and it was unprofessional for her to ask you... but at the end of the day you needed the job and experience. 1 Like |

Mandu94: Nope i won't see it degrading as a man, I will see it degrading as a peer how the hell would i be carrying his/her bag just because her dad owns the company ? that's why companies have errand boys. In my office am not disposed to helping babes carry anything as much as you want me to look sexist. But you cannot mandate me to carry anything , you can only ask for my assistance then it's up to me to carry it. then again isn't it sexist to offer to help her wouldn't that mean me trying to say "you need a man to always help you out when you are in trouble" ? I only mentioned this part since sexism intrigues you. If you work for a structured company you will know that getting fired for things like this are not possible. oh incase i forgot my boss is a lady and she's the best in our department (just thought mentioning that would make you feel satisfied to some level). 1 Like |

I once worked in a one man company as a Software developer, and this is me working late day and night to fix stuff for the company, so a boss (Male) calls me in and gives me a cheque (my salary) and i take it and turned back, and he got angry with me because I didn't say Thank you. not like he thanks me when i deploy their work and all. in 2 months time i resigned because I noticed he takes things too personal and also i had nothing to do anyway since it's not an IT company. What's my story here: One man company are not structured and are highly sentimental, I resigned because it's not professional, mixing emotions with business. I would never work in a one man company except as partner. Before you get fired in a structured company it would need to be deliberated. it's a shame that we are even castigating this person for standing up for what's wrong then again we Nigerians are a bunch of butt-lickers. 5 Likes |

klark3:you were not wrong and will never be. You were an employee, hired to contribute specific services to the firm, nothing less. Your employer has no grounds to look down on you for being an employee. And you should never allow any too. In a country with a strong justice system this thuggery wouldnt be accepted. Wipe your eyes and console yourself in the fact that you stood up for yourself instead of otherwise. Besides, as an architect, you could market your skills independently. 2 Likes |

mexzony:Was it included in his job description that his boss will become his driver. If the boss can be free enough to drive him, why can't he swallow his ego and carry the bag. Probably cos the boss is a lady, it sure wouldn't have mattered if he is female and the boss male. |
