Hello Guys
The story is not too Long but I will just want to know you opinion and advice, if possibly HELP OF ANOTHER JOB, please no insult.......

Am a graduate of Office Technology & Management with 4 years experience on Secretary, Front Desk, & Customer Service.... staying at Ajah Lagos

Ending of January I got a job through nairaland, the office is at Ajah, I was looking forward to work at ajah because I have an elderly woman am looking after, I don't want to work very far...
I was called for interview as a Secretary, on getting to the office, it was not what I was having in mind, the office is actually in a plaza, very small one at that, so i went in & was interviewed and salary was discussed, it was a very small amount for a graduate, but it's better than staying at home and I have huge responsibility, so I accepted the offer and to start working February.o

Oe week I discovered I was the only employee, anyone he interviewed on phone after coming to see the office they ran away because of the office Condition.. In the office No system to work with, only one lap top used by the boss alone, only one standing fan facing him alone, he promised to get my system,and new standing fan the day he was interviewing me, but he didn't, I doo come to work with a hand fan, and goes home smelling sweat, buying sure & rolling like mad..

I have never done anything relating to what I was employed for, what I do is going errands for him, he sends me out to many places, to go meet friends, collect receipts and all that are very far place, I endured through till it's time to pay me, he started posting me, today tomorrow, this evening, tomorrow morning, this afternoon, EVEN when I told home I need to go for my late father burial arrangements on Sunday cos I work Saturday, he said he would send my salary and he didn't...

Then one Sunday he called me to come to office to come collect my salary, I was happy at least am getting paid for my sweat.... getting to the office, he handed over the money to me I counted it, and I discovered the money was short of 5k, I asked he said the 5 thousand was for TAX.......I was speechless at first,. because he didn't tell me anything as such and how is 5k for TAX only, This is the money after paying all my debt am left with nothing.............

SmartKraft?? Well, he's smart indeed. Sometimes you would need to check the name of the company very well before accepting their offers.

CEO, SmartKraft would be a smart and dubious bloke actually.

Exploitation is common in our society and sadly there's little or nothing you can do about it... If you are not happy at your current job its best to walk away than work through thick and thin to be paid peanuts

@op, that job might just sap living daylights out of you. What does your employment letter say? There are peeps who pay double and triple digits in tax monthly, depends on your salary and condition stated in your letter of employment.

Try to broaden your horizon. To be honest, a job at Ajah... I dont know sha....
Your course is a nice one. A lot of administrative/customer care jobs abound online; dont quit, keep at it. You may have to move a bit further you know. Chevron, Jakande area or Lekki. It is well with you.

PS: You can make so much in Lekki to pay someone else to look after the elderly person and still have enough spare cash for yourself. I'm just being honest with you
