Can u marry a man earning 80k?


Get off your high horse and stop forming ajebo?

The number of Nigerians earning 80k and less is 800 times more than those earning 80k and above.

How much do you think your dad's driver earns and he has 2 kids in university. Built a boys quarter in mowe and owns a Golf 3.

What's minimum wage in Nigeria?
Or the per capita income?

The hr guy said u should wait so he can ask the boss for a small raise for u. U r on the other hand r looking for a way out. U r incredoulous!!
Y not wait n c whst they offer. Negotiate ur wages favourably since u feel like a smart ass.

Moreover u get to not pay rent? What do y want? U r greedy!! What if they pay u 150k n u have to pay ur rent. Lets say 2 bedroom flat in a nice area at 40k a month. You fathom in transport n still work lae at night??
One thing i ve come to realise in kife is that where some see opportunities, others see challenges and neotism and hatred and unfairness!!

Garner the experience. Or keep job searching n srarving at home with ur family. 80k vs joblessness n begging which do u prefer?

I received the worst humiliation of my life today. Let me go a little back in time. There's this organisation who's name has gained so much acclaim that I thought those working there are swimming in money.

A friend gave me a privileged info that they are recruiting. I thanked him dearly and thought I had hit jackpot. Next days I polished my shoes kissed my kid on the forehead and headed for the company with my CV and carefully crafted cover letter. Few weeks later I was called for an interview and I did justice to the interview and impressed the interviewers. I was told I would be selected but that I had to resume month ending however I can move into a mini flat within the company premises because the work will require some days of night working.

I was happy at least my people we see daddy as scarce. I packed some of my things and started enjoying my new cribs. Few days to the end of the month I decided to ask the HR how much my pay would be and he told me 80k. I immediately felt like crying. 80k can't possibly sustain me, my wife, my kid and my galfriend. I told him outrightly that it was too small. He then said he will ask his boss so he can add something then he will get back to me tomorrow.

My question is how do I reject this job that I already accepted with a firm hand shake. And how do I suddenly park my bag and baggages out of the premises. I am so confused.

My take: This company can definitely offer more than 80k but since they could perceive ur desperation 4 d job {by not negotiating d salary b4 resumption of duty}, dts why dey played smart on u.

Your failure to negotiate ur salary gave u away as someone in desperation and they keyed into Ds self~inflicted loophole!

Working 4 close 2 a month b4 asking what ur salary is?

Nna meeenn, u shot urself in d foot!
#putting~d~cart~b4~d~horse

If u have a better offer, then go 4 it , if not, my gye, except u are a highly expedient professional and can decide 2 call their bluff, u are stuck!

Cool story.

An guy who takes another job without getting an offer letter indicating his salary?

A grown man and not a desperate illiterate?

HR manager promises to talk to oga to increase your salary? Who do you think decides salaries in the first place?

Op did not do any research on pay scale, but rushed to craft cv and cover letter?

Bullshit or op is as dumb as a sack of bricks.

I agree with you. I was kind of desperate for some more money. But I have decided to man up and reject the offer. I am a king and a millionaire inside. No one can price me cheap.

Don't reject the job, at least for the sake of your galfriend. How do you meet her financial needs if you tactfully refuse this job ?

Story is cooked, cannever be true. Even my security men ask me, oga how much u go pay us, from your cooked story, u should know salary is first call ..

I definitely had an idea how much was paid to d person working there previously. I totally assumed it was the same pay since it's d same job. He was actually paid 150k. So telling me 80k now came as a rude angry shock to me. I totally assumed I will get 150k when the month ends.

Don't mind him. Some people are just greedy and unrealistic, in this recession. He should thank God he's getting 80k every month. If he's good at his job, he may have a raise as the years go by.
He's even calculating his gf expenses join. Smmhhj.
Guys like the op, no like himself and his future.
God has given u job of 80k and free accommodation u dey reject..

Please op, reject the offer and pack from that apartment.. U don't deserve it.
Go back. To where u are coming from. And keep waiting for a dream job.. U hear?

The same mindset my younger brother had.. Now where is he now? Shebi he said he's a millionaire inside.. Smhhhhh. He out there still waiting for that dream job.. E neck Don long extra due to hunger cos he's too proud to beg for money and he doesn't want a reasonable job offer.. I pity guys like you.. And I pity your wife and kids the more.

I got to where I am today because of humility and wise decisions.. And I would say am at the top of my career. Some. Of my neighbors thought am doing Ogun owo. But they are also confused, if she's doing such.. Who is she using for it.. Lol..
I laugh at some people's foolishness sha.
When I was paying. My dues humbly ..nobody took notes o. But when one is now reaping the blessings of patience, diligence, hardwork..mehn real hardwork and prayer that wraps it up.. People. Will start saying. Rubbish of what they don't understand.

Op leave that premises Now!

In my opinion, OP should walk straight to his boss and tell him exactly what he wants. If his boss becomes defensive, he too should become defensive. At he end of the day, something must give.
Re: How Do I Tactfully Reject A Job Offer. by sisisioge: 9:37am On Mar 30, 2017
Chai! You should have asked for the pay before moving in. Anyways, begin to move your things back, in fact move your entire family but remain there until they revert to you on the new offer. If it still can't sustain your dependants, just tell them to give you 24r to think about it and get back to them. Within that time, pack your bags and send them a regret mail. Finish!

Y wud u bolt off? Y not negotiate a better offer? Anyman who runs a bizness is open to discussions.

Get yo the boss and tell him the offer cant sustain you. Let him know u ve an ieabof what he paid the last guy. I know he will that guy had more expereience n it took him awhile to earn 150k. Tell him u can start at 130k.

Dont run away. Negitiate ur worth. If he says no u can now write a rejection letter. U can even use it in future job searches to let future employers know u value ur worth!!

I RRPEST... DONT BOLT LIKE HUSSEIN BOLT!!
