After NYSC, I got a marketing job in an IT training firm, pay was 30K, it wasn't the regular marketing job of trekking the streets but I knew I was not cut out for marketing and their organisational structure was wack! After a month I checked out, the MD calculated my two weeks in lieu of notice and deducted from my pay, he was to pay the money into my account, the pay was suppose to be around 18K but the thief of an MD only paid 9K and the other amount entered voice mail till date


Second job was in the luxury health industry, pay was 35K, exactly a month I knew I can't work there as well, because the MD felt she wasn't making money enough and wanted to relocate to Abuja and because of that she started acting like a woman on heat and finding complains at anything we do Surprising when I tendered my resignation she was suppose to deduct the two weeks in lieu of notice but she didn't, she paid me in full and added some kobos to it as a form of goodbye package God bless her, because I really needed that alert the day it came in


Third job which I'm rocking at present is cool, not in pay but experience wise and less stress level, a very lovely boss, a lady but very professional and cool. I have been here for like 4 months, but I tell you I'm always on standby mood to port out to some better offer the second I get an offer, at present I'm waiting for the likes of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Zenith Bank, FHI360, WorkForce bank documentation, and numerous Human Resources managers all over Nigeria who have my CV


Well, that's the life of a young man in Nigeria hustling for a better life, may God bless our hustle and dreams, I shall get there, you shall get there as well if you believe and put the right efforts to it.


Pursue your career dreams folks, pursue your dreams, except that dream were you were naked at work

Nice, God bless ur hustle

Read your lengthy post, and I think we are basically saying the same thing, I don't believe anyone should be forced to pay their tithe, it's between u and ur God.

Although many people misunderstand their reason for paying tithe, and I think that's where the conflict is, I pay mine because I appreciate the blessings of God in my life, and I understand the significance of giving back, I don't pay because a pastor says I should. In fact the issue of tithe is not stressed in my church.

So if the word "tithe" is Wat u have an issue with, u can replace it with any other word u like, since u also believe in giving back.

Nice compilation on ur post though, i enjoyed reading it.

mine 3 months after being paid 10k

3months for 10k only??

Chai I was trying to cut cost by following my friends advice. He took me to ilepo market were he helped me bought food stuff in bulk. According to him , one is happy when one has food at home even though one has no money. To cut the story short, whenever I finish cooking, I discovered plenty sand in my meal. Right now I spent 15k to organise my so called foodstuff and I cannot even eat it cos of sand. To worsen my case I spent all I ve in it. Now am regretting it.

This ur story funny sha . Try putting it in water first, so the sand will settle under.

You should read the whole of this post calmly and you will understand. Avoid debts is a sound advice but what is wrong with your position is that you put everything and everyone in a box. You assume, for instance, that everyone earns enough to save those textbook percentages you reeled out or that everyone needs those percentages. How can someone earning N50k and spending N15 on transport save three months salary? You fail to realise that those lessons were tailored to suit the middle class salary earners who constitute the staff of your company; that if the training guys are staging the same seminar for a group of millionnaires or for some poor folks who just left prison the content would be different. So you assume there is a golden rule for everyone when, in fact, there is none.

Ok, let's go to school. Imagine you are a fresh graduate earning N100k in Lagos. Luckily you found a room to put up at your brother's place. Now, you have to leave because your brother wants to get married. But you have not been working for a long time and have not saved enough to rent a house. If you have no where else to put up, will you borrow to complete what you have, since you can conveniently pay back, or live on the streets? In this case, borrowing is not being smart, it is simply inevitable. You don't decide to do it, you just do it, golden rules or not.

Apart from inevitability, borrowing is also sometimes the smart thing to do - but you better know what what you're doing. Imagine you're a graduate but you're unable to get a good job. Suddenly a friend tells you about a small business opportunity that looks promising. You need some money to start up but don't have it. Borrowing might be the smart thing to do here. I personally know people who did this and have become successful. Or you may be a billionaire businessman who wants to invest in a new area - like refining petrol in Nigeria. Getting a bank loan here is a smart thing to do.

What is wrong is to go pick up the latest Toyota Camry just because you just got a well paying job without planning first. Or send your wife on an expensive vacation without budgeting and planning for it long term. Salary earners often buy things in advance of their salary. Then it piles up and they carry it over to the next pay day. Soon things go out of hand. That is what killed your colleague.

Now, let's examine your statement. "Never ever borrow money." "Never ever" makes this an absolute statement, good for everybody in every situation. That is misguided. It is good as a piece of advice for a middle-class salary earner in most situations - the last thing you need is a debt. As a general rule, it is not practical, because, as we have established, borrowing is sometimes necessary. So I would modify the statement to read something like "Avoid borrowing money."

I really love the way u guys are trashing out this issue of borrowing, u might not know it, but u r both educating everyone who cares to read. Nice analysis

Haha!
Reminds me of back in '08. Resumed at a job with an indigenous oil company on what we called Zenith road in V.I. Full of excitement that i finally got a job i thought i'd like. The usual on the job daily on-boarding. I even had to take passport photographs (750 for 4 copies in V.I at the time). They had set up my email address and salary account process.
HR- "Yeah, can we have copies of your credentials ?"
Me- "Sure, here you go".
HR- "uhm, you're missing one, your NYSC certificate"
Me- "I'm currently serving, should be done in 5 months, didn't think it was a big deal"
HR- "were you interviewed?
Me -for my mind "duh!"

Long and short, i never got that job again. They took the offer letter from me and replaced it with a rescission of offer letter. 2.4m p.a ( i was devastated). Story of my life my but i can laugh about it today.

Was in there for barely 4 hours.

Must have been painful then, good thing you can laugh about it nw.

Reyginus:
Which command? Christians were never commanded to pay tithe but to help the poor and needy.

In Matthew 23:23 Jesus says, "Woe to you scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites, for you tithe mint, dill, and cumin and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice, mercy and faithfulness. But these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others."

These are things you need and not tithe.

Why don't you open a thread about tithing and put it up in the religion section, since you have so much to say about it, you are derailing this one.

Seems a lot of people don't agree with tithing. Personally i think its a personal thing, if you don't believe in it, then suit yourself, i wrote it there cos it works for me.

Ehen..nawa ooo but what could make her hate u easily? Perhaps she sees u as a potential competitor or threat.

It wasn't my colleague that told me, it was the recruitment officer that recruited me, i knew the guy personally, and besides i could already sense the dislike from the woman from the way she related with me.

I don't know for her o, she had a rude attitude sha, the other staff also complained.

Ndeewonu:


Your post would have made more sense if you had stated the reason you resigned. Tht way, other people would have learnt a thing or two from your decision. The way it is now, no one has learnt anything from your post.

Meanwhile, rest assured that no job is easy or simple. Only the man with perseverance and a positive attitude succeeds on the job!

Datevilme: Actually, my reason for quitting was because i got info that the woman in charge wanted to fire me, for some reason she didn't like me personally, so i quit before i got the sack.

I stated it earlier.

Reyginus:
How does paying tithe equate savings?

It works for me, not saying its compulsory though, just my opinion.

Chibaby87:
I started work on Friday and stopped on Thursday cos the work is too stressful and in a bakery, we will tie bread from morning till the following day and you will not go to bed unless we finish. There is nothing like shifting.

So its safe to say that you are a "Professional bread tying Specialist" with 1 week experience...

Tycoflu:
Your own better, got a job offer with an NGO in Benin after serving in delta state. Mumu like me, I no ask about salary. I come dey happy say job show quick quick. I made up my mind to be coming from asaba the first week while I search for a making sense self-con. For my mind I don get job for oil company.

First day at work, I just dey imagine how I go take furnish the room with my first month salary. Don't know what came over me and decided to ask my oga about salary since 50k with allowance na the pay for a job of that nature in Asaba.

Your salary is 30k was his answer.
I dey come sir, I managed to say after recovering from the shock. Na speed I take reach agbor park go enter bus way dey go Asaba. I never looked back.

But for starters 30k wasn't too bad na, u for stay like 2months see hwfar

justmenoni:
U funny sha,I guess u hv got other good and better options, if not how can u resign cos some supposed colleagues told u ur boss was planning to sack u,,,did u ever imagine if these same colleagues are the one full of envies therefore cook up a false story for u...u might be better than the others and this the oga might have noticed and discussed with ur other colleagues and with this they gave you the shortest of quitting strategies and u fall yakata...

It wasn't my colleague that told me, it was the recruitment officer that recruited me, i knew the guy personally, and besides i could already sense the dislike from the woman from the way she related with me.

dhantey324:
Op, u simply had a 48hrs job experience. Mine was a 3 months contract job. Apart from some factory and minor hustles. We will all get there.

Lol, It was crazy, i had to quit and run back to my former job.

Lol, its long forgotten

Wow, i couldn't even demand payment, even though i did enough work within those 2 days.

Some months ago, i got a job, resumed on a Monday and quit on a Wednesday...just 2 days. Does anyone have a similar experience, or a shorter experience.
