Can't forget when female boss ordered bouncer to kick me out of work place way back. He slapped the fvck out my neck I slept for three days straight.

Well that was way back cos now the bouncer already deep inside the ocean tied to stones. He never gonna be found.

He should have only chased me out and not slap the fvck out my neck, so I will never be sorry angry

Why don't you just clear some of the staff, even if you can't guess who the ones stealing is/are?

If is possible sef, sack all of them

Don't let them run you out of business man

That was how I told after someone that I replaced in an organisation what my principal did that led to my leaving the organisation.

Imagine this lady went and told by former principal that same day.

People are really stupid to imagine that the same lady was about 9 years at the bar and was earning a paltry 60k in the same organisation, I thought she'd have sense.


He is fuckkiing her seriously in his chambers.

Horriblebosses and #toxicworkplace is trending on twitter and having worked in few places, I can say that a lot is really happening in the work space. Everyone thinks the best way to avoid all those stuffs is to be a boss of your own but then what is a boss without an employee?

For starters, you go for an interview scheduled for 9am and they’ll keep you waiting till 4pm all in the name of testing your patience…like for real After all na u dey find work so you’ll have to wait till whenever. When you finally get interviewed and they’ll ask how much you want to be paid, you mention your desired amount and they go like "no oh, we can’t pay you that for now, instead we’ll pay this", like almost half of what you mentioned….hmmm it’s well.

Or is it the managers that presents 50k to the boss as your salary and ends up paying 30k to the staff and pockets 20k? Or is it the randy ones that wants to sleep with all the female workers whether married or not and fire the ones who refuse their advances? Or the ones that encourage the foreign bosses (Chinese,Lebanese,Indian) to be wicked on the staff cos that’s what they deserve. Matter plenty!!!

What about job security? I’ve not seen, you could be on your way to work and have an accident and nobody cares, instead they call an interview for your replacement . A colleague of mine in a hotel fell off a staircase while serving customers at the rooftop bar with drinks worth over 100k and broke her leg and all the owner cared about was the drinks that were broken, long story short, she was made to pay for the drinks, nobody talked about her broken leg �

Okay treat me however you like but once it’s month end, pls pay me my money cos that’s why I’m working!!! No, they won’t. Salary is meant to be paid at month end latest the last day of the month but some bosses would pay middle of the next month, some won’t even pay at all and when you complain it’s an offence, on top my money kwa? Na wah oh!!!
Or is it the unnecessary deductions? You come late they deduct 1k, You no come staff meeting they deduct like 3k, at the end of the month you are left with almost nothing.
Or is it the verbal and sometimes physical abuse? Some company owners really need to do better, we know it’s your company and your money no need to rub it in my face. My ex boss once threatened to break bottle on my head over a minor issue and nothing would happen, my dears, I resigned after that threat cos he can do it and truly nothing would happen, no be Nigeria we dey? SMH ��‍♀️

I could go on and on, a lot of people are really suffering in their jobs but it’s like a "we die here" situation cos there’s no job outside so you endure whatever comes till a better offer comes,it’s so sad � really.

Should be talk about our fellow colleagues, like na the same thing we find come but you want to make work difficult for me too? The "eye service" ones that are ready to throw you under the bus at the expense of your job? Or the ones sleeping with the bosses and managers telling them who to sack and who to leave? Or the extreme ones who go to the extent of using charms and juju to attack you? Hmmm… Chineke zoba anyi oh cos things are really happening.

Matter plenty no be small, which one I go talk ,which one I go leave? In all things, we’ll keep grinding and never give up cos God would surely come through. One day , the sun will shine and we go smile, cheers to everyone working legit to make a living, Ogadinma.

Drops pen…

Let me tell you something.This attributes you stated here are the attributes of a typical Nigerian.Most bosses are just lucky to find themselves in that bossy position.Some wailing employees will do x10 of what there boss is doing,if they find themselves in that position of power.
Nigerians are just so wicked

Re: #horriblebosses And #toxicworkplace ; My Little Experience by okwadatigbogal: 8:49pm On Mar 24, 2022
The most toxic bosses I have ever worked with are either so-called pastors in their respective churches or very religious people. God will continue to punish that useless man wherever he is. They are entitled users and big time manipulators who have nothing to offer. When they see you are starting to see through them, they start quoting bible. Nowadays, once I see pastor or someone that forms too religious, I zone out. Yes, I am a Christian and I love the Lord with all my heart, but there are just too many hypocrites using God's name.

Another toxic place I have noticed, though I don't have a personal experience is working in a church (as in church staff), not church worker oooh. They use and use you, then blackmail and brainwash you with the word of God when you start demanding your rights, even though you know they have the capacity of paying you. Even the bible says a worker deserves his wages...

2 wrongs dont make a right. No one forced you to stick with people who steal from you. Tha tis why the police is there too. There is no justification for becoming an A-hole. As a boss you are lucky you luve in a cou try where people have low self esteem and self worth. In other parts of the workd people will just leave you be to do the work by yourself. At oeast you won't steal fromm yourself abi

I suggest that (private) organizations put systems in place that enables employees to rate their leaders that they work directly under instead of only the other way round. Rating indices like empathy, care etc should be used to rate these workplace leaders by those that work under them directly and sanctions or rewards should be given based on the percentages of these ratings.

Also, complaint channels should be made available for people to express themselves without fear of being victimized.

The worst of the matter is going for an interview and many will delay you like forever and at end you won't even get any feedback from them. Imagine the recent and last interview I did, they were there saying we're impressed by your composure, CV, experience and bla bla bla. Even till now, I didn't hear anything from them.

Las Las I gave up on that. Am just here doing proxy agent for real estate companies. Naija can be so frustrating atimes..

I remembered when I was new to town I was desperately looking for something to do,I went for an interview in a very big school,after we where done with the written test the oral test began,I was very surprised when the third question was" what will I do if the owner of the school slap me" I chuckled and told them I will give her back times two,I took my bag and left.thinking about it now that place would have being toxicity personified.

WTF, Mehn! People dey xperience things o grin.
What kind of hypothetical question is that? It's like they were trying to encourage that kind of boss-employee abuse by posing such a question. That would have been really toxic. Smart of you 2 ditch them.

That was an understatement, in the company where my hubby works as as a staff, they dont allow any workers union to operate, everything is decided by the female HRO, he doesnt go for annual leave yearly, No promotions, no appraisals, no job securities, no active HMO,only a clinic within the company's premises, no increament of their salaries, work frm mondays to saturdays 8 am to 6pm with no overtime ooo, and if u complain, u'll be threatened. The list is endless. The HRO is running the company as a one-man business wit the approval of the MD, who's not always in the country, and whatever she says, goes and u dare not question her authorities or u get sacked. Alot of their best-hands are resigning as well as her female colleagues who she always felt threatend by beauties, brains and competences, and the company is gradually collapsing because of all these.
I can go on and on but let me save it for another day. Its really terrible. I ve advice hubby to resign too but he wants to set up something before calling it quits.

From my personal expereince, this thing called #toxicwork environment is mostly rife in one-man companies, and Indian, Lebanese or Chinese companies in Nigeria. I started my career with a one-man oil company and the MD, whom I worked directly with as his PA, was tyrant and heartless bully both at home and at work. He would call us all manner of unprintable names. He was a very good friend of Fashola, who was then the governor of Lagos state. Late night meetings upon late night meetings. Sometimes, I close by 3 a.m and still has to be in his house before 8 a.m the same day. I would wait until he woke up and his first response to my greeting would be "oloriburuk omo Ibo". I go laugh and still say "thank you sir".

My second job experience where I was at the receiving end of #toxicwork environment was in an Indian pharmaceutical company. Omo, the target was crazy. The Indian boss was always breathing down our neck with loads of insults and embarrassment. I dared not sit in the office beyond 9 a.m. I nearly died, started feeling like a loser and always fighting my complex and morale.

When I left and joined a multinational company where there were procedures, policies and protocols, I saw a lot of differences. I swore never to work for a one-man firm or any company that is Lebanese, Indian or Chinese.

Your story is inspiring.
