Be patient. This country is difficult. Don't lose what you have now. But be on the lookout for other opportunities.

How is Rabbit Farming different from Human Farming ? Earth is a Human Farm and the Gods are the Cosmic farmers. So, it is okay to play each other while the Head farmer looks away. grin

Demand to see her one on one for discussions. What kind of tests are you undergoing? When will it be over? If you're not satisfied with the answers, do not make your displeasure obvious. Just thank her for her time and go back to work. Then start applying for other jobs.
best advice

Lol.
That's what most people don't know.
I know so many young lawyers who are experiencing the most unimaginable forms of job exploitation, from being grossly underpaid to even no pay at all.

I worked in an HMO as a Data management executive and was placed on probation for 3 months. Yet, i was paid. The organization is simply using you because they might have noticed how desperate you are in keeping the job or they believe they pitied you by offering you a job in the first place.

OP WAKE UP AND GERRAHOUT OF THERE MEHN!
I sent you an E-mail bro.

Spot On. You hit the nail on the head. Young wigs experience modern-day slavery from the hands of principals, and they are always running helter-skelter to appear in court.

Maybe your performance is not satisfactory and, out of pity, they don't want to show you the door.
Still watching to see if you'll improve.

See your miserable life. grin
Even if they are paying him 50k monthly, i can assure you that its way better than the peanuts you get from the so called farming. The problem with you is that you could not get a good white collar job and then decided to settle for farming. Meanwhile your dream is to land a good job out there. grin

1st probation period isn't just for formalities tho in sm well established or blue chip companies it is and ur confirmation is certain. Depending on ur coy there might be expections or a targets tied to ur advancement, try getting familiar with what is required of u and decide on how u can achieve it or hold on till when they feel u deserve to be confirmed.

Some people can dey ask some kind question eh!

Dem dey ask person say rain dey fall again? OP reason the thing with common sense small na, dat thing legit 4 ur eyes?

Wich kind test dem wan rest run again?

You better start looking for another job, only hold on to this as long as you have not gotten something else, but don’t rely on this job and their ‘test’....

I always ask my interviewers questions especially about the reason for the new hire....if it was due to growth or if the position was occupied by someone else before and if if were, I prob them about what happened to the previous person, etc.

Most likely they were ‘test running’ the previous person past his or probation period and he had to leave or they fired him after using him and try to replay that scenario with you again...
