When u dey do the work your boss being dey tell you thank you?,,,,
Honestly I could remember some years back, whenever my employer pays me, I just collect it, count it in his presence and says alright sir instead of thank you, a few minutes before the payment he is the one owning me, not the other way round, so y should I be shining my teeth saying thank you

Its not RIGHT to say it - you work for it. its an obligation shaa...

Please, dont do tnat if you want to protect ur integrity (irony)
I disagree with you... So because you worked for it simply puts you in a position to collect your salary and walk away?


You really need to start viewing life in another dimension

In as much as it's not your obligation to say "Thank You", I think courtesy demands you at least say "Thank You" when you receive something from people even though it's your entitlement


As for me, I'm so used to saying "Thank You" whether you buy something from me or I buy something from you or you pay me my entitlement


Why are people making it look like a big deal?

Interesting....what is the mode of payment? Were you employed to work pro bono? How long have you worked?
Re: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by sam90s(m): 12:28am On Feb 21, 2016
You can show gratitude for the trust he had in employing you, not the pay, cos you earned the pay.

I swear whalahi I disagree grin
Appreciation can be expressed by putting in your best effort into the job, thanking him/her for the pay? Nah! It is directly linked to the job done, don't break that link, remember, if you're not happy with him or otherwise, you can't stop work and expect pay neither can he withold your pay if he's not happy with YOU, he can sack you not withold your pay.

A simple 'thank you' goes a long way in showing how courteous we are. Its simple acts like this that counts in the hearts of many. We know your salary is your right but showing gratitude when you're paid is one way of encouraging your employers and it also shows how much you appreciate your job.

Saying thank you only confirms one thing. The employee is a slave. It's a Nigerian mentality thing. In Nigeria the employer is more powerful than the employee hence the gratitude. The misconception is that the employer is doing the employee a favor by employing him forgetting that the establishment would be doomed without the employee. In normal societies, employers almost beg qualified people to come and work for them. Even people with no skill or education when employed, are incredibly powerful. You cannot just fire because you don't like someone. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

To me its no big deal. Saying "thank U Sir or ma" wnt kill. Even if ur salary is been forwarded 2ur bank accout, still send an appreciation text message. Though its rear but its what am doing.
Re: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by Godsonkemz(m): 1:20am On Feb 21, 2016
Though it's a sign of showing gratitude but it's shouldn't be imposed on you as a worker.

hello nairalander pls have been have this issue on mind for a while now.. I want to know if it's wright Or wrong to say thank you to your boss or employer when receiving your salary!!!

This same topic had been discussed here before.

If you can answer the following question, then you already know the answer.

When someone who owes you pays you, do you need to say "thank you"? My answer is NO. There's absolutely, no reason whatsoever to do that.

Your salary is your sweat and hardwork.

Yes, you can/should say “thank you"

And a reasonable and down-to-earth boss should also say “thank you" back.
