I always tell people who care to listen. Employer Employee relationship is not that of equality. It is a subtle senior junior relationship. (I deliberately avoided using the sensitive words Superior Inferior).

While it lasts, your employer is more beneficial to you, than you are to your employer. Most times, your employer can easily replace you. But can you easily replace your employer? A lot of people who were once employed are jobless today simply because they failed to realise that employer Employee relationship is not that between equals.

If thanking your boss for salary paid is how you can keep your job, until you get a better life elsewhere, do it. It won't kill you. Life no be always gra gra. Sometimes just use sense and climb to the topmost ladder.

It shouldnt be by false it should be by choice, I don't thank my boss for my salary but believe me I have the best relationship with her more than those that thank her, am her personal assistant and belive me I do my job very well, I can even work on the day that is supposed to be my off day or weekend just to appreciate her for employing me and to contribute my quota to make sure everything is in order, in my takes that should be the only way to thank her and appreciate her.

This nonsense usually happen In "Most One Black Man Business, Nigeria Exclusive" Upon the paltry salary they are paying. I use to work there then but anymore. Now I work with a multinational company we don't say thank you to anyone here..

I say "Thank you" to anyone I patronize, sellers, dispatch riders, commuters even though I'm paying for their services I know I don't have to say it but I've decided to be courteous and you never know how a little gesture of appreciation can brighten someone's day. [/b]If I loan you money and you pay back I'll thank you..
[b]Its about acknowledgements, gratitude and kindness.
Now if you think saying thanks to your Boss is going to ruin your life good for u.

I'm just against those coming online to crucify those that do it and making them look stupid


SHALOM!
God bless you for those blessed words.

What's wrong with a little courtesy and humility all round? Even the boss is quick to say it's God (and not by his power). I say thank you to my customers, to my biz partners, to those who help me run things, and to my children.

In this country where contracts are not paid, or properties are demolished by government without warning, we are all lucky to see next month's revenue for our business, and to see salary.

My staff thank me for the money and I thank them also for work well done.

All parties need to be humane to one another for a healthy work environment.

Some useless Slaves who call themselves bosses wouldn't thank you back. Some extreme useless ones would even take It to another level by not reading your message, forming busy Ignoring your message with their useless ego and pride. Nigeria has the most Toxic environment of work In the world..

Saying thank you is just pure courtesy...lt's not as if one is not entitled to his/her opinion



Btw when you thank some bosses they will be feeling like a demi God.But it's always good to say thank you as the case may be.It won't add or subtract from you.

Does your boss thank you for doing your job? Learn to be professional. Any workplace where you need to thank your boss for paying your salary is probably toxic anyway.

I should add that if you receive your payment by hand, you should thank whoever was responsible for dishing out the payment, even if the person is an inferior. That one is courtesy. It's like when you say "Thank You" after buying something from someone.

Aptly Said. I usually thank people like artisans, market women, kids etc but I hate when a superior/client expect me to thank him "forcefully" when I rendered a service..

No. I don’t work in a one-man organization. Some of us work where thousands of staff are paid. Who exactly do you want to thank? Your unit-head? Regional head? HR? Who exactly?

Exactly.... Maybe their shift coordinator
Why should I be looking for someone to thank after getting rewarded for my hard work..
I only thank myself and God Almighty

This happens when you work for a small firm, in medium or big firm, you might not even have one on one encounter with your CEO, you deal with HR and your Line- Manager. Most of the things are done via mail. There won't even be an avenue to say thank you self.

For me it depends cos I receive pay from different mediums as a part-time teacher.

Now, some schools pay directly into my account. For these ones I don't say thank you except when I receive a pay raise from that particular school, then I can call to thank the director otherwise I don't.

You see the ones that pay by hand, I just feel courtesy demands you say thank you when you receive the money as you're sitted there with them cos it will be mannerless of you to just grab the money, sign and gerrout. So, for these ones, I say thank you.
In fact, there's one that always likes to rub it in my face that she's paying me by always complaining each time she's about to pay that " parents have not paid school fees. That she's just paying me from her pocket... Bla bla bla.. hm. Now, when someone tells you that, she's making it seem like shes doing you a favor therefore expects some thanks or appreciation from you. You will just have to say thank you.

Case closed.
