No need of complaining, just focus on your duties and re - edit your cv to keep up applications, instead of causing unnecessary issues for your self - Pple will call you jealous. Mind you the policy your friend is trying to change might be for the betterment of your organisation. Just be calm and let him be d boss at work and padi padi at home.

Hello guys~ my best friend and I live together in the same neighborhood.

I introduce him to were I was working at the moment because he was seriously in need of a job...

Though! He had a job he was doing but the money they are paying him is just token, so when he came for an interview today.

He passed the prescription test that was given to him, and he was made the assistant Boss and I have been working there for long without been given dis offer.

Being his first time of working with us he has started giving out policy in which I don't like, he's trying to change the system for us making it unbearable for us to cope. And to crown it all, his salary his x2 higher than mine and we both have same qualification.

So am thinking of going to my Boss to lunch complain maybe to ask him to renew my contract.

What do you all think about my step....

Should I still go on with it?

you are going through envy and jealousy but because you dont have a bad mind, you dont know it yet..simply use the law of the ftc...turn by turn..as he be your boss,do as he says..u seff senior another person for the same company...one day u sef go be boss..
same qualification with double salary doesn't sound like envy and jealousy to me. That's grossly disproportional. Haba!

Two options, resign or admit your faith.


Even, after admitting your faith, start thinking of how to get a new job because, sooner or later, you will still be disgraced out of that organization.

I wish you best of luck

Nigerians can't celebrate other people's success. Must all the good things come to you? If it comes to someone else rejoice with them. Haba! I'm sure that your friend is more intelligent than you.

Yes, seems so, but point is...why didn't he apply for the position himself?
Re: How Do You Feel When Your Friend Becomes Your Boss by Viktoro1: 1:44pm On Sep 20, 2022
Why do you want to lodge a complain?,
That ur friend earns higher that you do. If that be your reason then u don't think at all. If your reason is that you deserve to earn higher based on your qualifications and the number of months you've have worked vat your workplace, then that is fine. No mention your friend name for your complain I beg!!!!! Life just happened to you.

Jealousy!!

From your write up I can perceive the stench of your jealousy and envy.
You should even be happy for your friend, atleast you have someone that can cover your "fckups" tomorrow.
When Davido said "we rise by lifting others" what do you think he meant?

If your friend is in a position to determine who gets promoted, do you think he will abandon you?

Just believe that God "have sent your own joseph ahead of time to save you in your moments of famine"

I dey tell U.
What post did he apply for?
If it was a senior post, the OP has no right to complain since he wasn't deemed fit to be promoted to that role.
But if he came for a random interview, then this gist no gel.

He doesn't seem sound enough.
He is complaining about the policies his friend is introducing and calling it unbearable, which means he obviously didn't know them or he is the type that likes to do shabby jobs.
So he was not considered even though he has worked there longer.

Re: How Do You Feel When Your Friend Becomes Your Boss by Mitsurugi(m): 1:51pm On Sep 20, 2022
Mutual respect is key. In my job tables turn. Last year my friend was my boss. I respected him. Even when he threw tantrums. I helped his work succeed and gained his respect. This year I got the job and became his boss handling everything including finances. He tried to lord it over me but I held my ground and he eventually saw that my decisions though unfair to him at the time saved our arses. I gained his respect yet again. In this life just learn to respect everyone including the maid. You might be her oga, but when she serves you food, she's the lord over your life (if you know, you know)
