You obviously don't know what it means to be an introvert... you have no idea angry angry
if you are an introvert, avoid public places and live with it for the rest of your life if you cannot accept change. You get to learn some things when you get to employment world. I was an introvert. I had to change when I had no option .. over extrovert dey worry me now. Let's advise him instead. He needs to change.

How can anyone be that quiet ? If you are not enthusiastic and keen at work but bring everybodys spirit down i will fire you too. Maybe she thinks you are a child witch or afflicted with a disease i mean why will you behave like a goats head at work ? I dont understand you abeg

Even me won't employ you! I am an introvert, born and brought up a loner....my only friends while growing up were my siblings, especially my two immediate elders, but I am so awesome in communication once there's need to.

I make sure I am very vital wherever I find myself. Not contributing to conversation around u makes u appear like a sadist, a bad person per se.

What won Barrack Obama US presidency isn't because he's too intelligent but simply because he can speak very well and make people smile with his WE CAN DO IT words.


The same way, most men can't marry a lady that can't contribute to discussion, can't talk effectively, can't smile....just sit down de look....such lady will be taken advantage of because she will only be considered good for sexual satisfaction alone.

No business owner who wants to drive more sales and increase his customer base will employ someone like u unless the position requires a deaf and dumb job role, so work on yourself abeg
true talk. But the op is not at fault.
The boss herself was rude. And she is the one at fault. Did he just walk into her office and start working? She must have done some sort of interview for him, after which she must have deemed him fit for the job. So if she later on doesn't like him, she should take it as her own mistake. And to correct it, she should let him know what and what he's doing wrong. Then If he doesn't change after a little while, she can then relieve him of his job. Simple.

I recently took on a job, about few days ago (less than two weeks), as a office assistant/ Computer operator at an office located at Ojudu Berger. This is partly because I had just finished the just concluded Jamb utme examination and I was less-busy at home and I needed to develop work ethics and gain professional experiences that would be vital in future. There are TONs of stuff you have to learn while being in this position & I was doing great making photocopies, taking passports, and even helping out in typying. When we are less busy, My boss comes for a chat with my co-workers﹑ which they eagerly and actively participate but I don't. Not because I do not like my Boss or I'm avoidant, but I prefer being at peace with my thought and value my personal space.

Guy i can relate with your situation...same clinche years ago, though my boss.was more understanding....It took about two months before i joined those side talks and my boss would occassioned laugh me for my mute; OMO era.

In service delivery most employees prefer outgoing people.

Then I noticed after few days, Her behaviour and mood towards me changed for the worse as she shouts at me and insults me if i make mistakes, Ofcourse, That's not a problem, but the hurtful part is she hurls insult on my personality. She says to me "You stand there like mumu'', 'Dondie'', 'Lookie lookie like deaf and dumb' e.t.c .
But today at work, I made a mistake with taking a passport photograph due to the fact that the pressure was much coupled with the over-crowded enivironment.She instantly got annoyed and said she can't tolerate a dull and mumu person and that I'm too dull. She said I should leave.

I was pissed because I had not been given a chance to learn everything needed to know Yet. I think this was really unfair since I was not even given a chance to improve. She said blame me for being an "observer", but she had to let me go.

I'm not sad this happen but this had triggered my incentiveness and challenged me the more. I'm even courting an idea of developing a start-up.

the enivronment doesn't fit u, i know how u feel, extroverts will never understand, buh try working on urself, u speak fluently while i don't, buh it doesn't stop me from making friends, i've worked on myself, my only problem is how to talk fluently
Re: Sacked Today For Being 'too Introverted', Unfair? by HaneefahRN(f): 5:53pm On Mar 24, 2016
Seriously why do people expect one to join in a talk that neither interests nor adds value to one? And see u as weird for not joining in. I would rather have my own corner where I can have my peace not stupid chit-chats up and down. As long as the work efficiency is not compromised.

OP don't mind that boss, just work on improving your relation with people but don't make it excessive to the extent of inconveniencing urself so one talkative won't call you weird. Make contributions in conversations , build up conversations, smile and joke with people, etc. But still be principled about it. My co-tenants where I lived in school called me eleha, see me as snobbish, but I don't care, I would rather sleep than start gossiping and making meaningless conversations with all sorts of people.


All the best.

good you've experienced it now. Believe me, it will probably get worse as you grow older.



Since you're young and vibrant I'll suggest you lean towards having an extra job you can while you're at school. It helped me a lot

Re: Sacked Today For Being 'too Introverted', Unfair? by Nobody: 5:59pm On Mar 24, 2016
see d crowd viewing this thread nawaoo.. una b introvert?? grin

BTW. We live in a world where things are moving at a fast pace and dats why u shud not b caught dulling urself.

I guess d job involves relating with people and since u know u are an introvert then that shud av been an avenue to develop urself.
I was once like this altho mine was due to my kind of upbringing, but as time went on i realized Change is the only constant thing in Life. and so i had to develop it. altho still a learner but i am far more better than i was.

So i will advice u. Learn a lesson from ur mistakes and it will make u a better person.

man, let go and move on. There are numerous of things to be accomplished. Your boss isn't that smart and intelligent to have discovered what exactly you have in you. She was indeed wrong to have noticed or rather being judgemental on your sarcasm and crynical personally. Introvert i believe are rather the most intellitent and smartest. It's an open debate, counter quote is allowed. Introvert know much more about things going arround in the environment than the extrovert personalities. Fact

Welcome to the world of working with a one man show business....

Well I think the fault is entirely yours.... I am a shy person and I don't talk much in d midst of people, but I always make sure that I chip in one or two things.... laugh at both funny and dry jokes.... and force myself to be interested in what ever the group is saying.... cos trust me even if u are in the midst of your peers.... they will consider u irrelevant

Your ex boss would have thought about u as a sadist....and u know it's not good for her business. so learn your lesson now for your future jobs

Wrong use of the word "sadist". It's got nothing to do in this scenario nor is it related to his personality. I feel utterly disgusted when people especially Nigerians use the word & don't know the meaning, how it's pronounced or how to use it in a sentence. Google it.

@OP Bruh this is a sign meaning you most definitely shouldn't be there. If that pathetic excuse of a female boss is too damn illiterate to know what introvert & extrovert means then it's her fault. Let me advise, Never, never, I repeat never, ever stay in a place where you are "tolerated" or "allowed". If people don't like you cos you're introverted or won't accept your calm, quiet nature, they should Fûckin die. I for one am deeply introverted myself. The problem is cos we live in a extrovert dominated/over populated world, it's a fact. People are drawn to & respond to what catches their fancy. They see a dude sitting quietly, minding his damn business & they assume he's dumb, stupid. I laugh at these illiterate idiots.

Final word OP, be yourself, but let no one treat you like shít. If you're uncomfortable with anything, speak up & scare the crap outta them, let them know you're not to be Fûckd with, that's life mah nigguh. Be cool, be you & if people can't accept you for who you really are, genuinely, they can Fûck off! Find people who have similar traits & interests, you'll find peace & solace! Kazna out!

I think you should go ahead with your start up if have what it takes. As far as being introverted, I just think your boss overreacted. I know a lot of women in business is like to delve into their employees personal lives. I feel your pain bro. If you are up for the challenge of problem solving, then yes, cultuvate your start up.

This ur speech is really long.... I had to scan thru it

In a working environment u need to blend with your boss and colleagues

That is why when u go for ur interview they ask questions related to how u relate with people, how to manage people and how to be a team leader

My dear if u have worked for someone before I am sure u won't make this ur long speech

My dear edygistvilla please always try to blend with ur colleagues and boss in ur next job.... how do u expect ur boss to send u to represent the company when she knows u have a poor relationship with people.... please dear we are not perfect we learn everyday.... draw major lessons from what u have experienced
