Stupid employer!


Any sane employer always welcomes diversity and what comes with it.

Kingzjayzee:
somebody dey sick, na 'excuse me' u go tell am abi na 'sorry'?

That kind excuse me go get you fired too 😂

Mummiesboy:
Na de sorry put her for trouble so
Why are you saying sorry?

Sorry nah

🥵

illicit:
Eeyah

Sorry

watch your back, they are coming for you.

cocolacec:

Low self esteem dey worry you.

You don't know what you are talking about. Calling Canadians and Americans British because every where in the world was practically empty until the British came along and forcefully dominated. Where there no natives in Canada, USA territories, before colonization? I'm sure you'd call us British in Africa as well if we were white!

KingDash09:
That’s my education is very important
They teach you how to use pleasantries in certain scenarios

It's just a cultural mannerism which is unique to us as a people; there's really nothing wrong with it, and every culture has its own mannerisms.

The employer who sacked her for that was just being myopic and grumpy. Diversity entails learning and accepting the culture of others.

lol and just like that you have become a conforming slave...you stay silent and they talk to you like they own you. You can take a stand and speak with confidence to defend your point. You should have said when I say it's okay, it means I've heard you. I come from a different culture and as much as I am willing to learn, you need to understand we will be different and that's okay too. You use it as a haha moment to educate them as well.

I fell into this trap twice telling a client "it's okay" which by my own reasoning meant "I have heard you, there isn't any problem. We should stop discussing it" but the client flared "It's not okay". It was a bit of a culture shock, me thinking I finally understand how to relate with the white folks. This days, I listen more and talk less. That way, I am quickly able to process what they're saying before stringing up a response.

superCleanworks:
Many Nigerians are used to saying SORRY instead of EXCUSE ME and that can lead to a whole lot of unwarranted "SORRY" especially in an office with high verbal communication rate.

SORRY, where is the door
EXCUSE ME where is the door.

In OP case, excuse me won't even work.

mrdharkchild:
RUbbish story, them sack you but no be because of sorry.
Nigerians and showoff.

Take your L and keep to yourself.
No moral lesson here.

Every rascal now want to advise people

She posted it for others to learn. Got anything to show that she's not saying the truth? Anything can happen out there .

studycenter:
She's just making content

Exactly, pure lies

Yeah true
They were probably look for a way to fire her since

Being too apologetic is seen as a sign of manipulation in western words. Fix the problem and quit apologetic. When my daughter was around 3 years of age, she says sorry for everything. I don't see anything wrong as a Nigerina father, but my wife who is an American get upset each time she say sorry more than once. She will tell to stop saying sorry and not do it again. Care job is a client based, when your actions get on the nerves of your clients, you are done and I can understand when she was fired. Her client is in constant pain and you use words that gets on her nerve. That's double jeopardy.

First they're not the owners of English, English is owned by people from England, not Canadians or Americans.
Second being too apologetic is never grounds for dismissal from work, no matter how callous the employer might be. So I maintain that she's not telling the whole truth.

Chai,this life is funny.too much of everything is not good.i wish I was in canada

MyExpression:


As a business, saying "Sorry" has legal implications.

Sorry is not politeness, it is viewed as an apology.

Apology is an admittance of fault.

You don't say sorry, if you're not the cause.
There are other ways to show empathy.

Na them get English, na them go teach you the real use.

English is a British language being spoken all over the world with different versions, including the Nigerian version.

Succinctly put.

For years now, I've been correcting some folks as-and-when-due to STOP saying SORRY again and again because in standard English language it's an admittance of GUILT!

Also, NEVER ask about the welfare of a person's family members in the Western world. It is deemed as an INVASION of privacy or personal space. Meanwhile in most African and Asian cultures, asking about the welfare of the family members is traditionally deemed proper. It's all part of international etiquette which regular international travelers have to get used to so as NOT to offend the sensibilities of other's.

SORRY, where is the door
EXCUSE ME where is the door.

When you use this "EXCUSE ME where is the door 🚪" in nigeria , they will say you are arrogant

This is a social class thing in Nigeria
Aje butter versus those people that cook with kerosene and say jangolova

They don't have values anymore.
They hate those who remind them of what they once had.

Like my immediate elder sister told one of her white customers in London,God bless you, for reconsidering her after she came late for an appointment...the white woman was like she should keep her God's blessings to her self that she is blessed already.

She nor dey watch tv and read newspapers? Which update she need again make I ask?

Lol Every idiot is an expert....Very annoying

I seriously dislike someone telling me sorry unnecesary, especially when I'm not hurting or injured. It irritate me so much.
Any time someone tells me sorry unnecessary, I tell them "sorry for yourself".

She must be a Yoruba girl cus in portHarcourt if you cough or sneeze nobody tells you sorry

The rules of spoken English and English culture etiquette also apply in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America.

Many folks from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland migrated to the New World (Canada, U.S.A, Australia, New Zealand in very large numbers majorly in the 1600s to the 1800s in search of better fortunes or to escape religious persecutions, and they took their CULTURAL ETIQUETTE along with them, so, the cultures are quite similar, even right up to Continent European cultures from Germany, Belgium, France, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, etc.

wonlasewonimi:


Nice, so telling the court that she always say sorry means she's not adding value, and to you that's not discriminatory?

The lady was warned to stop saying sorry but she continued...this alone is defence for the company.

Also the fact that she keeps saying sorry could be construed to mean that she is poor at her job and is apologising for her missteps

Sorry o madam 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪🤪😳😂😂😂😂

Thats not a culture shock anything. The woman is just wicked
