Shadysen:
am always sacked

Soknown:

I have had the opportunity of working with exceptionally good HR managers.

ramaju:
No, you give three month notice or you kiss one month's salary bye. The issue is within the notice period not on the road or shopping mall.

Nsonaso:


LoL, the person never ready to leave. After collecting salary for September I resigned first week of October.

So the person want to still collect October salary? Make him kuku continue working na if he/she must collect every penny

Soknown:

I can relate with this, back then I was working for a ' big' player in the healthcare industry ( The first EMS company in Nigeria). I was in the operations department and in the midst of a deep pocket project ( I was handling the health screening for this big football academy that has affiliation with the Catalans).
The man at the top wanted to draft me into marketing. I kept saying No. When the pressure was too much, I decided to quit. I was on annual leave when I made the decision. I gave the company 1 month notice, but the man said it wasn't enough.

I gave my resignation letter to the HR manager, he was surprised but he understood my reasons. He told me to discuss with the boss. So I went to the Boss's office to book appointment but because it was me, the secretary was bold to ask him if he wants to see me directly based on my resignation letter. He said, no. 'He does not want to see me at all' . The Secretary fought back tears as she told me.

I went back to the HR manager, I told him. I will bring another letter of resignation with immediate effect. He opened his mouth, thought I was joking. I went downstairs to type the new resignation letter, I sent out notice of resignation with immediate effect to all my colleagues and managers via email.

I walked back upstairs to the HR, he collected the letter, looked at it, looked back at me and said Mr X, we should not allow you to go like this. He stood up, wanting to go back to the boss with the letter again. I said no, but he pleaded with me. He came back later feeling dejected and sorry. I told him to sign off on the letter.

I took my copy of the signed resignation letter to IT and account departments to sign off as well. I submitted all company paraphernalia. I left as a human being, a living soul.

All the top echelon of the workforce left that company within six months. The HR manager left two months after I left.

I got a very good job in the same month, A Toyota sponsored Hospital in Lagos, when I left this hospital, it was all love, cakes, hugs and kisses. #MYEXPERIENCE.

What the actual hell?!

Three months notice period?! Isn't that too much?!

macho44:


Did you work for EMILOKAN?
He's synonymous with THUGGERY

Boldtrust:
As soon as I announced my resignation, my former employer went from a friendly boss to a devious vicious man overnight. He was owing me 3 months salary. I dragged him to the Citizens Mediation Center but had to let it go. After 5 moths, they were still struggling to get a replacement for me. He called to ask if I can work for him on a 3 month contract, I humbly declined. A few months later, the company folded up. Most employers are horrible to their employees. That's the awful truth.

Bwilliam:


WTF. A whole 3 months notice. What kind of work is that?

spy24:


You be hit man ?

iHart:
You may be shocked to know that it's in Sout East and the company is owned by an Igbo man

emmyluizzz:


na lie

how will a whole company fold because of one person

Osombo:
It's now history for some of us, took HR a week before acknowledging the resignation, though our Boss then called within 24hrs of the news and asked what's it, knowing fully well countless times staff complain of pay, useless processes and over micromanaging, monkey dey work baboon dey chop, no growth. Toxic work environment should be avoided like plague. Top MGT themselves won't hesitate to leave ooo if given opportunity cos of the no future of the place they rendered yet don't want U to leave.

Osombo:
U are right; Field staff needs free hand, most top management are opportunists who don't value staff that give their best. They rather use the staff results to take glory. Then line manager asked me to trained ma replacement which wasn't part of ma job as there was dept that but ended up showing me clearly he wanted using me. He ended up bad mouthing me in ma new organisation but time revealed who he was cos I was told. Me I don't asslick.

JoshTheStoic:
Same thing mine wanted to do, asking me where I wanted to exit to, said I must tell him the company after which he then put query on my resignation letter. Funny thing about training people is that I trained most of their new worker a year before I left, I noticed they will always attach me to new guys and once the guy becomes experience they will remove him from my shift and bring in another new or inexperienced guy from another shift.

Then they will always complain about my shift in which I hardly do errors as if they have been waiting for it. Other shift will have 4 experience guys while my shift will only have 1 or 2 experienced people and most time 2 newbies which means big workload. Then I later found out they were using me to train people.

Fast forward to 6 month before I left I stopped teaching people secret that makes me stand out. I noticed once you make people know the secret of how you do work smoothly and flawless with no error you become common and you will be easily discarded. You must always stay relevant at work place and most important of all, be very political in all your dealings.

Exxxgeee:
but u sell ofada rice.. Are u nw ashamed of ur hustle

BigBen23:


Oxygen Holiday and Resorts no pay me.

lavylilly:
I don't understand the bolded.

iHart:
In my own case, my boss didn't really treat me bad until the last day. I gave him three months notice and he felt I would change my mind before the expiration of the three months. He begged me through proxies to stay. One month passed, two months passed and at the end of the third month, on the very last day, he hired thugs to manhandle me. I started recording the whole show and told them that the very moment they touch me, I will go live. When they saw I was ready to push the video to Facebook, they retreated and told my boss to allow me go in peace. That was how I left in peace.

enonamso:


Wow.. Did he pay you?

RIDOO:



I learnt this in a very hard way..Years back when l was still an employee l was the manager of this particular organization .. Although our CEO was a very wicked and nasty boss but at least l used to manage her in my little way..l was to go for maternity leave n another person was brought in by the same consulting company that brought me in to relieve me.. Don't know maybe cos of where the person is coming from ni o...l downloaded all the experiences l gained over the years to her in 2 weeks... Despite the fact that I parted with part of my salary to gain some of these experiences o,l gained some with tears,some
with insult ,some with query....

She ended up taking up my job with the help of the CEO...by the time l resumed.. l was just packed in one corner like sardine... When l
realized l can't work further l just resigned . Although it was hard cos l didn't plan it but at the same time l won't allow someone to treat me like an empty milk can .

Sometimes issues like that are usually stepping stones.I run same business today n l'm doing well by His grace... while the former company has folded up.lnfact the day l drove pass my former boss l really pity her condition.


No condition is permanent... Just be good to people cos table do turn.
