My MD Has Done The Worst, Please I Need Your Advise


My name is Sewa, I work in an hotel at Iyana Ipaja as a bar supervisor. Am a graduate of Lapostech (HND). I work 24 hours because of the nature of my job and its a day off and on, meanwhile mine has been 3 days on and one day off because I make more money than others. Before I got to this hotel as a staff, they make lesser than I make now. Per day, my target is 100k but I make 130k at worst because we have club in the hotel as well.
It happened on friday when a customer wanted to buy a wine and I was eating before the customer came in, I was still chewing my meat when the customer came in and I tried to attend to the customer with the meet in my mouth because I do not want to delay him. In that process, my Managing Director came in and slapped me 2times in the presence of customers and even guys that were making wooing me, his reason was that I attended to a customer while eating. We not have break time in this my place of work o.
He slapped me and I worked away to continue my work but I want to revenge. I do not want my silence to be in vain.
My manager has been begging me not to resign because I dropped my resignation letter that day. He is begging me to come back.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?

It's disgusting to attend to customers even with chewing gum in your mouth let alone meat. Were you not trained before starting the job? In fact you don't need any training to know that you don't eat and attend to customers at the same time.

Your manager was wrong to have slapped you. He too is just one unprofessional monkey. He should have given you a query and stern warning. He has apologised and he did that because he knew he phucked up. It is left for you to forgive him or not. And if you want to revenge, don't go and do something that will put you in more trouble. Just let it go.

Always put yourself in a customers shoe, that's how you ensure good service. I'm sure you won't like it if someone attends to you chewing meat chwam! Chwam! Chwam! Like a goat and still struggling to talk to you.

All these iyana ipaja people self. Make una try Behind up small.

You shouldn't have even been talking while eating. It is the way you carried yourself that will make him slap you. I ama what I know is that we are proud and no apologies.

What I will do ? I will immediately slap him there and like 3 times


You can take away money from a man ..he is still a man
But
When you take away dignity from a man he has lost his manhood .

Take it or leave it ...your dignity has been taken away


Are you tied to that hotel job,is he your destiny maker. People and stupidity seff.

Well you have been slapped now eat the humble pie


Take a firm decision that makes you a man ...

My MD can talk to me anyhow ..even in the talk there is limitations on what he can talk not to even slap me...if he does that ..he has signed his warrant


I don't forgive easily

Keep quiet and GTFO! You don't forgive easily... them never beat you correct beating.

Im just feeling sad at the soft comments here. I can never take a slap from anyone no matter how much they're paying me. This is crazy and barbaric! WTF, some people are advising you to stay? This is high level slavery! Let me tell you something, physically abusive men never change, especially men who slap grown ups at any slight provocation.

Your conduct may be unprofessional but his reaction is far from unprofessional and now an infringement on your right as a citizen.

You either do anything in your power to sue him or leave the company. If you stay, one thing is certain, you'll never get that respect back. Another day will surely come, trust me.
He might even r@pe you one day and you'll do nothing about it! You'll get weaker and weaker until the abuse will finally become a norm. And you'll hate yourself.

I work for someone who pays me well enough to buy my basic needs, as arrogant as he can be at times, I make sure I set my boundaries with him.

Anybody who can hit an adult for any reason except in self defense should be avoided at all cost.

Ekpa! You will not take slap from Mopol or a soldier. Na so una go dey make mouth online. Ordinary boys scout Na him go use u cure.

If you have a reliable witness/evidence and you can afford a good lawyer, resign on the ground that you were slapped, then sue the [b]hotel [/b]and make them pay.

Mr man, you can speak for yourself. Atleast in this case, you're dealing with a boss you're going to be seeing him every now and then (for as long as you're going to be working under him) so you have a choice.

A corporate setting is different from the streets.

And even at that, If a mopol or boyscout slaps me and I know I can have my way to get back at them, I WILL GIVE IT A TRY!

She has a choice to make, either she leaves (to protect her dignity) or she sues him. Physically abusive people never change!
Besides I never said she should resort to violence.
Re: My MD Slapped Me, Please I Need Your Advice by Nobody: 11:29am On Aug 02, 2016
It is often said, that you should not take or make any decision while angry.
this is so because there are higher chances of taking the wrong step each time that is done out of anger.
please my dear, calm down and have a rethink at a time even when your manager is begging you. Forgive and move on- better leave in good condition with good impression at a time when they needed you most.
The world is a global village.
wishing you all the best in you career.
Re: My MD Slapped Me, Please I Need Your Advice by Nobody: 11:33am On Aug 02, 2016
What sort off slavery mentality is this? because you working hard for him does he give him the right to slap you?
My dear i will advise you to resign. He doesn't mean well for you. One day he will disgrace you again and sack you. Na im type dey beat him wife for house.

Firstly I want to use this opportunity to denounce abuse at work place and denounce all managers who do this to their staff...

In all situations you must choose your integrity over money..

You work over time and sacrifice yourself for the success of this business and if a slap is what you get in return, I will advice you to calmly find a better job and walk away....

We must learn to treat each other with respect regardless of their respective position...

Hello lenposh
Your story is like a king who invites his friends for his sons wedding and insists on a particular dress code but because of familiarity, one of his friends disobeys the dress code. Do you know what the king did to that friend?, he tied him hands and legs bound and threw him out or so (matt 20:1-14).

The fact that u claim u are the alpha and omega at your job place like u claim dosent mean u should lack your professionalism and attend to a customr with food in your mouth, even a sweet is wrong because it alters your communication and its childish, unprofessional and not cool. Imagine dressed up in a neat suit and u chewing meat or have a stick sweet while signing an important contract papers in front of your buisness partners....naaaaa

What u should have done is stay low in the reception counter and finsih what was in your mouth before u attend to anyone. The customer can wait (that's like a 30seconds wait).

PS: you lucky your boss is begging you not to resign.
Your submission is a reflection of our society and how we reason as people. There is no organisation without rules and regulations, there is no breach without sanction and I do not think any sane organisation/establishment will stipulate that if any of their staffs breach any of the laid down rules, then slap will be the sanction. It could be query, warning as the case may be. Eating while attending to customer is no doubt unprofessional, but slapping your staff for a breach that could be punished by other means is even more unprofessional.

You have to go back unless you have other source(s) of income.

That being said, try asking for few things i.e. increase in pay, break time, etc. Try not to be greedy though. Still keep in mind that you need other sources of income so that you can leave that place.

Abuse in the work place is rampant in Nigeria. cry

Some people are so backward and foolish. Thats why Nigerians keep getting cheated. Yeah she did wrong but for such a boss who wouldnt even give them a break, how are you sure he gave them any customer service training. He could have done anything else but that. Hes a savage and she should start looking for a new job asap. Quit as soon as you find a new job. No one should have to suffer violence in their place of work.
