I disagree!!

Speaking with intelligence is very important, you don't know who you might hurt through words.
Knowledge is knowing what to say.


Wisdom is knowing when to say it.

If d boss really cared about d image of d guys mum, he/she should have cared about d old womans welfare. So now that d boss has sacked d guy, how's he gonna support his mum? Where's d intelligence in that?
excellent! Don’t mind that one professing intelligence when he can’t even think like it.

Entrepreneurship is underrated!

I think it's good they underrate it. It helps those who do take action in becoming entrepreneurs making more and employing them.

Only a wizard would know the exact things to say, it is very unfortunate how people abuse power and we find reasons to justify it.

I am not justifying anything here sir. The boss might be a feminist or an aggresive person but, the guy should've have let her find out herself.

The boss is actually the illiterate.
Doesn't know the meaning of the word.
Re: Man Loses Job After Telling Boss Over Phone His Mum Is An Illiterate by RoRoo: 5:26pm On Jan 26, 2021
The boss overreacted. Illiteracy is a word used to describe an uneducated person, and not an insulting word. How else should he have explained to her that his mum isn't fluent with English language?
I'm not surprised though cos that's how it is with female bosses, they're always so paranoid.

You can say, due to her level of education, she will appreciate it more if you communicate with her in Yoruba language

That negroe is definitely a nairalander. They always come here to disrespect their mothers.

That's why they remain jobless and frustrated. grin

My dear, if you can not read any person you are working with, your boss or not, go read memory master. You should be able to tell what your boss want. It is key to your survival. Even if your leaving that place. It is very important

The boss ought to have called him one on one and ask him to apologize to his mum if she feels sad with the young man based on his utterace...

Atimes saying it as it is is a crime sometimes
Re: Man Loses Job After Telling Boss Over Phone His Mum Is An Illiterate by TempleHouse: 5:50pm On Jan 26, 2021
I think its okay to be civil to your own Mother to say the least.

I promised I will never address the occupant of my house as Tenants because my Landlord
addresses me as Neighbour; and never addressed me as a Tenant throughout my 5 years
stay in his house.

This is my own promise !

The boss did bad to both the mum and the guy
Re: Man Loses Job After Telling Boss Over Phone His Mum Is An Illiterate by Iykenuwa(m): 6:05pm On Jan 26, 2021
He should have been more careful with his choice of words.

He could have just said, "my Mum prefers communicating in Yoruba" or "she understands only Yoruba".

more like speak the truth in a civilised manner, he could have said my mum doesn't understand English, speak yoruba language to her.

Some bosses are something else. If she really respected and regarded the guy's mum that much does sacking her son show it? Her action does not make any sense.

I have worked it bosses before. Female bosses to be specific. I won't ever forget one in a hurry. She could drag you over the coal without bating an eyelid. Talk you down till your dignity is drained out. And her characteristic signature after she has refused you opportunity to explain yourself: draw a long hiss and end the call on you. grin

She leaves you to yourself to think about your future.

I thank God I met her. I never knew I could be so patient with any human being. Now I am better person because of her villainy. grin

Mo win still!

It's so shocking to find out that most Yoruba mothers are illiterate and can't communicate in English. Go to the southeast, especially Anambra and find that most women there, including elderly women can interact in fluent English.

Yes, for belittling the woman who brought him into the world, because his boss is on the line... The blatant lack of tact from a supposed PR agent.

There is a difference between the truth and being stupid. The guy was stupid. Maybe he's one of the red pilled men we have here.

Imagine someone saying his own mother is an illiterate, there were better ways he could've said that.

And yet they can never be generational wealthy. Even if they like work for multimillion dollar industry, they will just be comfortable.

Don't mind the tactless child, employed as a PR officer, yet so uncultured in his speech.
