In Nigeria you dare not ignore your boss calls and not call back.
Abi you will even put a call through to your boss and ask if there is work today and how many hours so you can plan to either have fun at home with partner or dismiss the thought immediately and face work squarely.

Ever had a persistent boss who won't stop messaging you once you've left work or logged off? In Portugal, that behavior is now illegal.


The country recently introduced a law that bans employers from contacting workers outside of their regular hours by phone, message or email.
"The employer must respect the privacy of the worker," including periods of rest and family time, the new law stipulates. Any violation, it continues, constitutes a "serious" offense and could result in a fine.
A similar rule gave French workers the right to ignore after-hours business emails in 2017.
Portugal's new policy is part of legislation that regulates working from home. Employees now have the right to opt-out of remote work should they so wish — but they can also request the arrangement if it's compatible with their job.
The measure also stipulates that employers are responsible for providing workers with the appropriate tools to do their jobs remotely. They should reimburse workers for any additional expenses, including any increase in bills such as electricity and gas, they might incur while working from home.

The law was passed by the Portuguese parliament last Friday and came into effect the following day.
Portugal has been led by a socialist government for six years, though Prime Minister Antonio Costa could be pushed out of power early next year. The country's president recently called a snap election for late January amid a standoff over the budget.
The capital, Lisbon, has worked hard to appeal to digital nomads who want to take advantage of remote work to temporarily relocate or travel outside their home country.
The practice became more common during the pandemic. Research firm Gartner estimates that remote workers will represent 32% of the global workforce by the end of 2021, compared to 17% in 2019.

My former proprietress even call staff for night vigils in her house and sometimes force staff to attend her church programs.. She can summon for school meetings during terminal break and if you dare not come, you might not get your salary for that month or term.

In Nigeria it is 'illegal', 'satanic', 'devilish', 'abnominable', 'immoral' and above all 'insubordination of the highest order' to not answer or return ur boss's call whether you are busy, less busy, asleep, alive or dead.

God save employees in my country!

In Nigeria we have bosses or should I say perverts who check what women wear to the work place and some even send them home. We swallow a lot of shit in this country

Dress codes are standard. You can't just wear whatever you please in a professional setting

It simply means an employee can sue his boss for calling him after work hours. There's no need for a monitor.
(In Nigeria) After that the employee will enter the boss black book 2 month later you go see letter that your service is no longer needed
