Saying thank you is a three way thing and depends on the employer
1. One employer will see it as a sign that you are underperforming and sees your salary as a gift not earned by hardwork but attendance marking.
2. Another will see it as being appreciative of the Employers effort and value it.
3. Yet another will see it as eye service.


Most logical thing I've read here. Nicely done

One will assume "thank you" is simple enough not to generate this number of pages of opinions.

I say thank u to a cab man when i get to my destination so that should answer it all.

Why not? It only show courtesy nothing more. This is one of the little difference between man and animal.

Why would u say "thank you,didnt you work for the money ni?

Does your boss tell you thank you for doing your duties.

Its the reward for your labor,and not transfer payment.
funny as it may sound, my boss always says thank you whenever i finish a task. He also thanks us all for doing our jobs well and not giving him unnessary headache, during staff meetings., he thanks us for going thru the year with him. So its just normal for me to call and say thank you sir, whenever i receive alert.

It is normal you say thank you when you receive your wages or desk payment at the end of. Tthe month or work.But if na alert thank the bank manager for posting it in time. Ask yourself have You thank your driver whenever he stop for you at your bustop.

i did my job, he did his by paying me for my work well done, no need for the thanks. He will embarass me if i fail to do a good work. So am not saying that to him
Re: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by alexlee50: 7:53am On Feb 21, 2016
Is he paying you by hand? If yes, then out of courtesy you could say thank you.it just shows politeness.if in your account, you don't need to see him

And therein lies the problem. You will let a great employee go. Whom has worked all month long. Comes into work on time. Works overtime when asked to. Is courteous and respectful to you and everyone, because the employee did not say thank you for the money he/she earned.

Lord I'm glad I do not have some people as bosses lol.


A worker who finds it difficult to say thank you to his boss for paying his salary as at when due, will find it difficult to say thank you or sorry to customers or clients who do business with them. Courtesy is important and attitude is everything.

Saying thank you is like a reflex action whenever u receive something.
Just reason how it would be if u collected ur salary from ur boss and just walked out.
how would it be? What's the thanks for? Is your hard earned cash. Is not necessary, bro. We apply uncalled procedures in rubbish. Is not called for, he should say thanks to you, the staff rather. We accord so much adoration and morbid respect to people. Do your job and pay no homage to anyone, for you applied to serve the company not the boss.
I no blame ppl sha. na poverty and no job for town day cause this kind thing

Makes no sense.
If I'm a waitress and my job is to be courteous and I excel at it, it doesn't mean I want to thank my boss for paying me what I earned.

That's the difference between working in naija vs the abroad.
Come in. Do your job. Get paid. Not come in - do your job- beg your boss for your salary.

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!!!
I think your question should be "is it socially right" .because some time we don't do things cuz of being right or wrong.
but to be social.
Re: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by Nobody: 8:46am On Feb 21, 2016
Its not an obligation, but its damn right to do that. Just imagine a scenery and see ur self walking away after collecting ur salary without saying anytin.. DAT doesn't look nice nah.. THank you' is a kind word. Some boss sef will tell yu 'thank you' fr ur service even though they still pay you.

How can I say thank you to Lagos state government for prompt payment of salary? I don't know the number to call or text. Anyway I say thank you all the time to all those that give me any form of support, either I worked for it or not.

To all those reading my comments, thank you.
Re: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by Pennywise(m): 8:53am On Feb 21, 2016
Others are saying thank you, and you refuse to say thank you?

There is a very thin line btw an ungrateful staff and a disloyal one.

Sometimes people say they were sacked over a none issue. Don't look at it that way. Just know say your cup don full.

Yes, honestly each time I carry out an assignment in the office my boss always thank me. Moreover what do you stand to loose by saying thank you?

IT IS NOT A BAD THING TO THANK YOUR BOSS WHENEVER YOU ARE PAID. BUT IT IS NOT A RIGHT NOR OBLIGATION TO DO SO. I MEAN YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO UTTER A WORD.

Nah. Dont be an average like all the others , mouthing a soulless word.
He's heard it so many times that it doesnt register.
Add extra to yours to standout.
E.g say, "thank you and God bless you".
His ears will perk up.
See, you caught his attention. He'll move you up in his good books.
He's thinking that you're about to go.
Stay on and add "may, your pocket never run dry. May your company make more money than you ever imagined" etc.
Try to be sincere and convincing (practice bf a mirror ) .
- give him/her a tip to buy beer/suya/recharge card
(outta feigned gratitude)
- at this stage, you're permanently noted and have earned more points than if you said a mere "thank you"!
