The economy of the country is nothing to write home about
We can't give up on life no matter how difficult things seems to be (WE KEEP GRINDING)

Which business can one start up with just 100k , as a side hustle to his work

Leezah:
For her to be there from dusk to Dawn showed there was something going on that the manager is aware but turned a blind eye to it.

Exactly

majamajic:

Demaestro09:
I say thank you at times not always, even unconsciously. Sometime I don't. She ain't doing me a favor ya know.

But its polite and cool , so I suggest it , after all a simple thank you won't do any harm.

U are right

olamimd:
When I got alert of my first salary, I said thank you to my boss and he was furious. He said I don't have to thank him. All I need to do is to acknowledge receipt of my salary. Since then, I only sent him whatsApp message with "acknowledge receipt of salary".

This is really helpful

kress2m1:
You added a bit more information. My take on this:

1. For a job well done, you have already said thanks when you were hired. Any salary paid is contractual. Whether you say thanks or not, it must be paid, else the contract is breached and nah court remain.

2. If you want to say thanks, it should be limited to the extra funds he paid in, no more. You didn't ask for it, but he gave it to you, maybe in recognition of your dedication to the task at hand. So your thanks should be for the extra money

3. No need to be afraid. Remove fear from your mind and stop what I'll term servility to 'Oga'. I employ people in Naija and I've told them that the day their 'Oga' turns to alerts in my account, that's the day I will ask for it. Call me by my firstname, as I, will you. If you're unhappy, there's the door, you know how you came in.

4. Do you think that the guys who work for Facebook/Google/Amazon/etc thank their boss for their salary? And in terms of conversion, they get paid millions of Naira compared to your salary. I've been given a bonus in my working career and it was in recognition of my going beyond and above the requirements of the role. Boss said thanks for your hard work, here's our thanks, I said thanks for the recognition and money, all done. My normal salary, I simply check my account if it's there on the agreed date and if there, I move on.

5. You may one day become an employer. Think, is this how you would want your employees to be relating with you? You and your oga are already saying thanks. Your job well done is you saying thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the success of your company. Your salary is Oga's way of saying, thank you for proving my decision right in hiring you.

Bonus is Oga's way of saying, guy, thanks o, you too much o. Your oral thanks to this is your side of acknowledging this particular thanks.

You said it all

Aforxzy:
It is good to say thank you to your boss after receiving your salary. It's not every employee that has been paid and not everyone is employed too. Just being grateful doesnt cost you anything. I always acknowledge all payments with thanks for services rendered. Be it cash, cheque or transfer. It should be an attitude.

Alright dear, thanks

Ratedgang:
People that are saying they won’t thank their boss after payment haven’t actually worked. You need to thank your boss as you may never get the next salary as early as possible and there is nothing you can do about it.... it’s good and ethical to be grateful. I have seen people being promoted in offices because they greet a lot.

I buy your idea

Pauladex:
You beg to apply in the first place, saying a million thank you is not enough. keep saying it ...thank you ma, thank your sir. Nigeria is too hard

U are right , cos when one needed a job, he can do anything, afterwards we should still be grateful

AerialMapper:
Absolutely not!

He should thank you for your time and effort because the salary an employer pays can never be enough

I recall some years back when i and 5 other consultants received our paycheck. One came and said we should contribute to buy a watch for the boss. I basically told him if he want to lick the guys ass...he should feel free to do it alone!! I am not contributing for any bullsh*t

More recently, a driver came to tell me thank you when he got paid, i told him not to do it again!

Any boss who demands or expect thanks is an egotistical bastard!

They shouldn't demand for it, it should be the choice of the employee

badman007:
It’s polite to say thanks,
takes nothing away from you.
Don’t be an idiot
Thank you

Not an idiot anyway
Thanks, it really takes nothing away from anyone to be polite

bluefilm:
Yes na.

You think it's easy to pay someone?

Do you know how many excuses the boss could have come up with just to SUSPEND/DELAY paying you the salary?

A little gratitude will go a long way in showing that you appreciate.

U are absolutely right, its not easy

bukatyne:
Well, since you see your CEO when you receive your salary, a thank you sir/ma is not bad and costs you nothing.

I believe when you deliver on your tasks, they also thank /appreciate/acknowledge you.

Well, no appreciation since I resumed work, when he fault me even when I know am right, I keep the good work going, we are really good, saying thanks really cost nothing

Kendumazy:
Thanking him is okay. You thanked him for the extra 3k which is good.

Thanks so much
I know I did the right thing

bukatyne:
This conversation sounds like a small company or a one man business.

I don't know about the necessity however, I sent thank you/appreciation mails to my CEO when our salaries did not change due the first recession under Baba Buhari and this pandemic.

A filling station with 3 outlets

Princeton92:
Why should you tell your boss thank you for the money you worked for and you earn??

You rendered your services N earned the pay

That's why I got confused and decided to adk

odubayor:
why the Bleep would I thank him though depends on the type of boss he is if he is the dangbana Choco type or the normal type depends on how you put yourself tho

He is unpredictable

Nuttella:
Why should I thank him for collecting my wages? a worker deserves his wages, did he thank me for the work I did?

Nice one, u right

Kendumazy:
No. You worked for it. You only thank him if he puts extra.

Only people with with low self esteem who don't know the worth of the services or work rendered in exchange for the salary will go ahead in thanking their boss.

Absolutely right, I can sue him for not doing so while he can sack me for not preforming my duty

crestedaguiyi:
very dumb.

its not a gift but a wage.

Africans thank and praise their politicians for doing their job thats why they are seeing it like they are doing their people a favour.

the moment you start thanking your boss for performing his role which include paying your salary then expect him to start seeing it like he is doing you a favour.

something you can sue him to court for not doing.

Exactly , he is not doing me any Favour, he is paying for my services

Olarewaju89:
Is like you pay tithe and you are now expecting your pastor to say thank you for paying your tithe


When my former boss give me salary she will always be expecting me to say " thank you ma for the salary" some women self....

And she has never add anything to the salary even when i say a million thanks

My dear just say it from your heart to fulfill all righteousness.

Lol
Thanks

nengibo:
he added extra 3k , that's worth giving thanks, it's really no biggie, it doesn't remove anything 4rm your body

Not proud at all
Just asking for subsequent ones

I feel I worked for the money
He is underpaying me ,he knows that

Thanks for the responses so far
I got my first ever salary last month (newly employed as the manager)

Others were paid by the cashier, my MD transferred mine via bank

Though he added 3k

Next day he visited, he asked if I received my salary, I answered yes

And thanked him

Just worried if he will term it that am ungrateful

devlishGINGER:
if you are getting the cash hands over fist, thank you is very necessary. it just a little appreciation

Via bank and my boss visits often, am his manager

doggedfighter:
We're sentimental about a lot of things.

This is why employers especially one man business owners always expect employees to bow down and worship after receiving their hard earned salary sometimes even after delayed payment.

Worse is when others are thanking and you don't, you will become an enemy to the boss.

Am the manager of the company, am just scared of being tag "proud"

WoundedLamb:
You must be talking about a petty business where cash is handed over to the employee by the business owner at the end of a period. If that's the case, saying 'thanks' is only polite and not necessarily appreciation. Even if the it's the secretary that gives me the cash, I'd still say 'thanks'.

However, salary payment does not always involve the employer and the employee physically coming together to even necessitate any form of conversation. The common thing is that everyone gets alert on a particular day of the month and life goes on.

If its handed over to the worker directly, its polite saying thanks, in my own case its via bank

duro4chang:
In private school you must say thank you sir/ma after collecting your salary.

I guess is because the money is handed over to the workers directly or because the owner of the school is within the school

chatinent:
I know I worked for it but a thank you means no harm.

Alright, but the salary is through bank, should I have to call him and thank him or thank him whenever he visits, I feel uncomfortable saying "thank you", he is not doing me a Favour
