This is very bad...

My brother, first what I do when I want to take an offer is that, I make sure I confirm if their salary is constant, before I move in, I wouldn't want anybody to be owing me my sweat...

You deserve better bro, Physics, Chemistry ⚗️, and biology at the same time, those are the power house of science and you are earning 25k and somebody is still owing you...

That proprietor must be having head pain

I just started bruh and the management showed me who they are and that's why I will be leaving

Cassandraloius:
Some days are like that. Just be rest assured.

Thanks sir..

And you are still working there? how are you supposed to pay rent? Eat, pay for transportation to work. Just dump the bloody job if you didn't receive pay for one month.

Mikedgr8:
I'm a Teacher in a private school in the mainland part of Lagos State, I got employed just last month in the school. I take the senior classes Physics, Biology and Chemistry for a meagre 25k salary. The cost of transportation between my house and the school is #600 to and fro each day. On days I don't have enough cash, I trek to school not minding the inconveniences.

The month ended and based on the fact that schools resumed on the 4th of last month, I presumed the salary will be paid on the said date this month.

I tried talking to the proprietor and all he could say was Salary is not ready. Now he tries avoiding me and not picking my calls either.

There is nothing for my family to eat..

I tried going out to work in any construction site but non was willing to take me in to work.
With tears in my eyes, I called him and he managed to pick, he didn't even allow me to talk, he said he will pay next week.

Note, this is the same ordeal faced by other teachers...

Now, my question is why do employers derive joy in delaying salaries after the services rendered by their employees?.

You need to widen your search for better jobs and you will be surprised you will get better ones.

Connect with people, you can also post here on Nairaland and you will see a better one don't subject yourself to suffering.

Wipe your tears, ok? Even this time shall not last.

In the interim, begin a lesson with neighbourhood children. Advertise yourself to their parents. Tell them you can also do home work for the pupil at a cheap rate for those that don't want to enroll in your lesson.

I don't know how your neighbourhood is. The cost of laundry and dry-cleaning clothes is now on the high side. You can meet those working class big guys in your hood and tell them you can come to their place every Saturday to help wash for them at a fee.

Just look for something you don't need capital to start.

I wish my advise helps.

Thank you.

Mikedgr8:



Amen, thanks boss..I tap from that liberation of yours

Watch out bruh.

Thanks a lot for this sir..The private lesson will really help

Mikedgr8:


It's not about knowing ones worth..I just decided to manage for the time being

Even those being paid 200k are managing, so that is no excuse, the economy is bad.

I mean you should be making shakara because you are versatile in those subjects, while school owners beg for your skill.

Teachers are scarce in these areas, so you will always have a school to teach. Do the following :

step 1: Submit applications to schools not too far
step 2: After interview(sell your self very well during, mention your experience), during price negotiation call it above their price.
step 3: If complain ask how much they can afford, then tell them you will accept 20-25k for part time, twice in a wk. They might offer you a bit less than that, accept & move another school.

At the end of the day, you might come across one that will you 20k. If you can run two schools, you will not be at their mercy.

Wujio:





I can employ you on work from home basis and you can get up to 40,000 Naira working from home by working with me

Also interested sir

KingLion007:
Watch out bruh.

I don't get bruh

Thanks a lot bruh...the part-time arrangement is going to solve this and also private teaching

It is well man.

A great exploitation..but man won't sit at home na, lolz![/quote]

Thanks to all who contributed, I really appreciate you all for the kind advices and he less relevant ones, Thanks!

Mikedgr8:


I'm leaving immediately I get the salary

You are likely to get the salary when the 2nd month is almost done

Omo

Mikedgr8:

And if they didn't pay you? I read that some Naigerians are owed sometimes for 6 months, 3 months, i mean, how do they survive? Without getting paid for such period of monthts? Unless they don't turn up for the job or does no work atall.

Reelmii:
Hmm...3 heavy subject for one person....for 25k.....a private school for that matter......may God remember u sir....how can u even save up for rents for 25k

Hmmmm, even me that doesn't spend a dime on transport can't accept that offer of ₦25k to teach biology, Physics and Chemistry for that peanut. Let assume he pays ₦600 for 10 days for transport per month i.e if he decides not to trek everyday (i.e ₦6000 on transport). He would feed, buy basic items like soap, detergent, body spray and data.
They want him to work like a donkey, make him feed like an ant on a ₦25k salary?
Is he born to suffer??

My dear, your English us too mature for 25k a month. That's what guys spend on olosho weekly. Plan your exit and claim what's rightfully yours. Don't settle for that crap.

One person teaching 3 science subjects for 25k. Are you a degree holder, NCE or School cert?. Let me assume that parents pay small amount of school fees in your school. No wonder it's coming from the mainland. When they relocate to the Island they complain that school fee is high. That's because teachers are well paid. I work in a school and teachers are paid 100k and above, meanwhile you don't teach more than one subject. My advice to you is to look for side hustle to double your income.

Mikedgr8:


Maybe the fear of me not leaving the school

OP I will advise you to change your mindset about life to better things without doubting for just 6 months and you will begin to see good changes in your life.

dominique:


He won't outrightly beg, he's expecting kind-hearted Nigerians to be touched to ask him for his account details. I've been on this forum long enough to know how these people operate.

Wow! I was actually moved and really contemplated supporting him with the salary, 😢

Thanks ma for this! Someone else not expecting salary might need this more than I do right now...I will be glad if you can channel it to them cos I believe I will be paid soon...

The world will be a more better place if kind-hearted people like you take over!

Amen, thanks brother!

It's well

With that same energy, y not learn Real Estate and earn great commission. It will ease your financial burden easier. You don't need to be under such hardship.

Oyindamolah:
OP where are on the same page. Joined this newbie organization for a volunteer work late August in 2011. They said we'll be officially recognized by September with letter of appointment and job description but nothing has showed. We were paid for September which made us all think we're in the right place.

Few days afterwards, supervisor or should I say liason officer stopped coming and appointed someone as coordinator. He stopped picking calls and replying messages and only reply at will.

Fast forward to late September we got paid and somehow bamboozled to continue. October ends, oga neither show nor pick calls or reply to text messages including whatsapp messages.

Mid-November, he was giving excuses that our money is available but not yet given approval to pay from a supposed oversight which he's part of.

After some time, they came and have a discussion with us without discussing how and when they're paying. Ieft the job
