Jobs/VacanciesRe: HELP! Our Staff Has Been Absent/missing Since December. by Buildingthings: 9:55pm On Jan 02, 2025
MyExpression:
The staff joined the company in September 2024...and this past December makes it 3months since she's been with us.

It's a remote job...and I didn't ask for CV.

Our work has been excellent and going smoothly all this while, with her expert Excel sheet documentation.
No delayed payment or toxic work culture wahala.


Unfortunately, in the peak of the season, when work trippled, she disappeared.
Keeping us stranded. Backlogs don plenty.


Her number has been switched off since 15th Dec.
I've called that number almost daily...and sent messages.

I don't know what could have happened with her...even tho she hinted on some stressful life's challenges recently.

Buh work has got to continue, this is a new year.
Works starts officially on 6th January.


What do I do?
Sim replacement takes only 48hrs.
Company number is everywhere online for her to reachout with another number, if her phone had issues.
I've checked her name on Facebook and twitter...no way, coz I don't even know what she looks like...na only her voice I know.
I don't know if it's my responsibility to report to police...I don't know who else to reach......yet I still can't move on like that with peace of mind.
At the bolded!
She complained about her life challenges but you Didn't care to follow her struggles up yet you claimed your work is excellent and smooth.

Do you know what it means to say a company's work culture is excellent?

You're only concerned about milking your members of staff dry,not helping their emotional and personal challenges?

I reserve my comment!

living room : 16 x 14ft

Car TalkRe: Was I Rude Banning My Father From Entering My Car? by Buildingthings: 5:53pm On Nov 28, 2024
It's not a curse,your own chillf will do same to you in your old age.


ChizzyBuna:
I love and respect my dad so much
He is old in age but he can still drive

The issue is anytime I'm driving him
Instead of him to relax
He will turn to Conductor every 2 seconds, sometimes he will shout that I'm speeding to fast but I'm not going past 60 kmph


Today I drove him to village and on the way he did the same shouting and telling me to look out for bumps.

This distracts me and makes me lose focus. Out of anger i shouted back at him to keep quiet and allow me drive.
That i have eyes and i can see the bumps

Now i told him that he should never enter my car or unless he will keep quiet and allow me concentrate on my driving.
No talking, he should keep it shut through out the whole journey.

Now he is feeling bad, did i do anything bad??
CareerRe: 800k Monthly Salary Job Or 3 Million For Business by Buildingthings: 7:26pm On Nov 26, 2024
Let him tell his father first 😁, He'll tell hi I'm to go for the 800k job.





mayor02:
Hello Nairalanders,

I need your advice
A very good friend of mine got an offer in a company. The company offered him 800k monthly as salary.
But the problem is, his dad offered to give him 3million naira to learn a business from his friend who is successful, so he can start his own soon.

He has not told his dad about the offer yet because he is confused about his choice and this my friend is 28 years old

If you are in his shoes, what will you do.
FamilyRe: Getting This Off My Chest: My Strained Relationship With My Dad by Buildingthings: 10:04pm On Nov 25, 2024
He contributed to your success only that he didn't do that 100%


amazinghands:
I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.

Background:
I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.

2010:
While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)

2016:
I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.

On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.

Fast Forward to Today:
I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.

Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.

Am I in the wrong here?

CareerCareer Advice by Buildingthings(op): 6:44pm On Jul 13, 2024
Pls,house and my amiable nairaland family.
To cut the long story short, I started to learn about building construction and I am about to finish my apprenticeship in some months' time.
I have been exposed to different building practices and methods and by the grace of God I'm happy that my confidence level is veery high and I've been handling some small projects lately with better results. But I think I still need clues and hacks from my more experienced nairaland building specialists as I want to go for some professional courses because I am very fascinated about Home automation(smart homes)

Let me tell you guys my little story as it might help you in knowing how to come in for advice;
I studied Electrical/Electronics Engineering more than a decade ago and I just really love being in this field.
What would you advice that I do regarding professional exams,more training,e.t.c that can help
Please keep giving me the needed paths in building construction best practices.
Thank ya
