Sorry to say this, don't know if you are a cert holder.
What does it profit a man to graduate from school and still work under someone?school na scam.

Ask me why

Hmm why sir, I wanted to actually save up some money to begin my business

pedrilo:
Leave that evil employer to God, return her property I beg you and give God a reason to fight this battle.
You will be shocked!
No man is God and God can never be mocked.

I've returned everything to the security sir.

bigpicture001:
You are a medical lab scientist...?

No sir, I'm not, just political scientist and an administrator, though with some experience in lab science

awa:
@OP,

Keep your calm please. Clear your head first before thinking of what next. I understand how you feel now because I have been there.
Calm down and tell yourself all is well.

I believe all is well sir. I'll try calming down.

Karleb:
Go to the police station.

Don't go to a lawyer o. Police Station then report her.

If you would lawyer, the police will tell you.

Alright sir

Niom:
Kindly return the company's equipments and leave.

She might report to the police that you stole it and you know what that means...

You are not ready for that now...

So just return it and leave her to God...

I've returned everything. But I can't just leave without my salary. I need it to survive for now.

awa:
@OP,

Keep your calm please. Clear your head first before thinking of what next. I understand how you feel now because I have been there.
Calm down and tell yourself all is well.

I've been calm sir, but the anxiety is getting too much on me. Where will my next meal come from, where will I go from here, it's not funny to me. I don't want to think of suicide, but the option is what I'm thinking

Rickmann:
Glad you go to church. If truly the whole thing played out as you just narrated, then that woman must be a wicked person.

Please ask of any lawyer around or better still in church, probono if possible..
This will be a sweet case for them.

I'm actually thinking of getting probono lawyers. I really need my money

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
Let me keep my cool, because I dey vex right now, Op the reason you surfer like this is just because you are keeping your cool, the first time that witch attack you, you should have responded accordingly, you are not destined to be a slave but you choose to be one!
Rule 1, you don't tell a Nigerian who deleberatly hate you Sorry because 99.9% are mad.
Rule 2. You don't accept dirty stuff thrown at you because you believe there's no hope after all, No, it's time to forge ahead. Now I will advice you to get that woman arrested before she arrest you of stealing company property! Trust me she will, take the Company things to police station and explain in details the treatment you get, note, you will loose some % to police, try and be getting record evidence of your conversation with her. If someone hates you, nothing you can do to please such person except you act in like manner

Thank you so much bro. You've said it all. I made a very big mistake by coming off as a weakling to her. I regret it. I wish I can turn back the hands of time, now I'm in deep regret being loyal to an ungrateful person.

franchasng:
You are welcome. You will be fine with time. God will see you through. Just try and be more closer to God by having a personal relationship with God not just by attending Sunday Church services alone.


Make sure you quote me once you receive the POS.

Thank you once more sir. God bless you.
I'll push for the POS so I can kickstart life.

safesurfer:
Brimdans, follow this advise please.
Before she labels you a thief and have you arrested by the cops.
Abi you get money for legal case abi police wahala?

I've returned them boss

franchasng:
Month is next week.


Quote me here once you get the POS terminal

Alright sir. God bless you mightily. For your concern.

franchasng:
Return them to her today or tomorrow, don't keep any of her item with you

Done that already, and then what's the next step?

franchasng:
The POS business is a good one. Have you surveyed the area, do you think POS business will thrive in that area? Also consider the security risk and how many existing POS businesses are there right now?


Your friend want to send you a POS or what?

I want to site it close to a university campus. I ordered for a POS terminal from one of my friends company, but it hasn't gotten to me yet, he actually said by months ending. So about security, the place is relatively safe.

Samson0599:
Which state did this happened?

Benue

RedCentaur:
This is inhumanity at it's peak.


With these string of events talking place by this time of the month, it's obvious she's not including you in her payroll, at least not for this february.

Kindly return the material as requested by her, ask her if you can continue working for her. If she declines, kindly leave.

When the period of payment of salary is approaching, go back to her and demand for your salary ( be calm and careful with your words this time). If she's still adamant, let it slide.

I experienced something similar around October last year, mine ended with a surprise and a bigger package.

I'll leave her to God. It's obvious she doesn't want to pay

hopeforcharles:
Hmm it's not fair, returned it, but if she has a husband complain to him, and start looking for work else where because you will never be enough for her. She will always find fault.

She's not married. Am not sure anyone can marry her.

kingthreat:
Which company materials do you have?

Just uniforms sir.and some tapes and other minor materials like books

whemmytopsy:
Nigerian employers and oppression are like 5 and 6, Kindly return her things in your possession, hold yourself up, say some prayers and be on the look out for another job
...the best is just yet to come.

God bless you. I will do just that.

November24:
.. Things our kings go thru for us.
Be strong bro. You will come out

Thank you and God bless you

franchasng:
It is not entirely true.



I am a private employer myself but I can boldly tell you that my staffs are one of the happiest employees in the world. Not that I pay them a lot of salary per se, but I give them the freedom to live their life, work happily and enjoy whatever role they are assigned to. I am sure most of my employees are happier at work than maybe at their various homes cos I make my workplace very comfortable for them to work and feel happy like its their organization.



Some that came as SSCE holders are now graduates via part time study. I made that possible by granting any of them that gets admission some days off to attend to their study needs.


I do this because I was once a broke, depressed graduate who didn't have any better hope for tomorrow. I suffered after NYSC. Even though I had the option of falling back to my family members, I decided not to, I made the decision to battle life out on my own. It wasn't easy, it wasn't funny but at the end, I pulled through and today, I bless God for His mercies and unmerited favours.



So one of the ways I appreciate God for all He did for me is to be kind to people, and to treat anybody that works for me temporary or permanently with humility and kindness. I do it as a service to my God that blessed my little efforts in life.


All my life, I have only sacked one staff and it was beginning of this year and why I sacked him was because he took my kindness for granted. I bought all the things he is using in the house he lives. A time came he said he needed bicycle for exercise, I gave him money to buy. I buy him clothes, shoes, cooking gas, just name it cos he is a young boy from a poor family. Sometimes he decides not to come to work without informing admin and he does this cos he believes he is very close to me and maybe because he believes I like him more than any other of my employee based on how I treat him and ignore his errors.


The one that I couldn't take happened in January 2022. I gave all employees Christmas and New Year holiday start from 24th December to 29th, and they were to return to work on 30th and 31st and close till 5th of January when we will then resume fully for the year. This young man intentionally absconded from duty and traveled on his own without telling me. And some other employees were already granted travel leave for New Year, so this made us to have serious lapses that many things weren't done and almost resulted to losing vital clients who had been patient for us to resume. He didn't bother to even call me or inform the admin.



Please dear young people, dont take your kind employer for a fool for your own good.



Op, from your narration, your employer is heartless and I can see it seems you work in a private school. I have observed that Nigerian Private school owners seems to be unkind and harsh to their employees, reason for this I dont really know.



Take it to God in prayer okay. Don't give up, challenges and failures are common to every successful person, but its how you manage your challenges and failures in life that will determine how far you would go in life. Don't feel its just you alone that have passed through this, nope. Almost all successful people you see and envy passed through this.



A very close friend got fired by his boss just because he managed to save money to buy a rickety Nigerian used car and also decided to marry his Church girlfriend. He specially invited his boss with a costly wine, only for the boss to reply him with a sack letter. He was shattered. I told him to cancel the wedding but he refused. The wedding was like a burial ceremony of a poor orphan, I was his bestman


But guess what ?


That guy is almost a Naira billionaire today and an employer of labour now living a sweet and purposeful life with that his wife and kids. But he did suffered for years if not a decade oh, but he was hard working, determined, smart and focused.



So don't give up.



Tell me how much will transport you back to your base or how much would take care of your most pressing need right now.



God will see you through. Go into personal covenant with God for a better life, tell God what you really want in life, back it up with hard work and don't ever carry malice for anybody in your heart. Forgive your employer and any other person that wrong you and focus on God and your handwork and watch out in few years to come.

Reading your comments brought tears to my eyes. Sir, it's not actually a private school, it's a bio safety management company. based in Abuja, but currently on a contract in Benue. So I've been in Benue for the past 8 months working for her. Sir I don't want to go back to my base, because I can't even stand the shame, I don't even house an accomodation any more in my parents house, they've rented it out, to help meet some of there financial needs.

So right now, I'm just a wanderer in Benue. I live by the mercy of God and good people around. Yesterday it was one of the engineers in the site that gave me 1000 to feed and transport myself.

I can't even tell my parents what happened because it will break. My mom called me last night and was asking how was work, I couldn't bring myself to tell her what happened to me. I have shed tears even in public places.
I want to see if I can open a POS business, just to raise again sir. I've spoken to a friend in Jos, he promised to send me one. Right now I'm trusting God to help me. I want to construct a wooded kiosk to start up, so I could survive sir.
Sir if you will want to help me he is my account number and name
Bitrus Rimdans
My account is 0062691807
Access bank
I'm thirty years old, with a degree in political science and public administration. I'm also knowledgeable in computer applications and I worked in a lab for close to a year. God bless you.
Sir any thing you feel led to help me with. It's okay, because I won't go back home. I'll still be here to survive.

[quote author=mommaJ post=110493616][/quote]You're indeed a good man sir. God bless you for being a humane human being.

Oblongata:

Brother I've done that on several occasions, even when I'm not at fault, for how long will I continue to yield out my power to her, I really don't want to work with her again, I just need my money. I want to leave her for good

10BabyApple:
Sir return the woman's material.
If you have an employment letter, kindly involve the Police. ... That will do alot more damage to her establishment than beating her.

I will do that sir.

AdeolaOmoOba:

Brother, I've played a fool for a long time, I just want my money. My mental health is ruined because of working with her. I've reached my elastic limit

Thank you and God bless you

She's a difficult person, no man can stay with her. So she's not married. I'll just let it go

I'll return her materials and let it slide. I tap into your blessings. I have faith that the Almighty God has a better plan for me

Lol, you want me to end in prison?
