It saddens me to hear stories like this where men have raw sex and pregnancy or STD becomes the result.

There are condoms that are just like the real thing ( though some are expensive ). Diving in raw is just too risky and not worth it. Damn angry

Different strokes for different folks

I stay with my Mum(dad's late) and I am over 25 (but not 30 yet)
but guess what.. I pay the rent and sort all bills since i started working (say 4 years ago)
I am practically the daddy of the house

Until your bastard government decides to pay her retirement...it will be hard to move as that will be a very unnecessary double expenses

I have my room..she has hers
we dont disturb each other and I go out and come back at will...she knows her boy is now an adult

if i had my way, I would have moved out of the house since but then...not right now

so you see different strokes for...

but then you have added a clue that you are an engineer

your name indicates that yo might be Richard and about 27

that your colleagues perceive you as incompetent

that your skillset is rare

all of these will be instantly suspicious to someone from your professional environment

ndukwechinasa:
The reason here is incompetency. N that is why it seems everyone in the organization is not comfortable with your existence in the job. Bro work on your self and you will automatically gain respect and love from your boss.

At the risk of not sounding like I am bragging,
I'm badass at my Job if only they allow me do more of what I was employed for in the first place

and just to mention, I have gotten to a point where with my skill set and certs, I am not scared of losing my job as I can quite easily secure another
not to mention, I get better and stay updated everyday

The question in my head right now is, is getting a new Job the way? what if I go elsewhere and I meet worse

This is for you and others that are thinking like you(if they can see this)
Guys, Life is not all about money!!!, at some point, fulfilment, peace of mind, happiness becomes paramount!!!

Anonymous1900:
Hi,

A lot of responses here focus on 1 side which is you have a well paid job and you should not leave it for uncertainty in the harsh world outside (true) however let me give you a different perspective from personal experience.

I have taking several life altering decisions that many would consider insane just like you are being advised now but in those cases, i had an overwhelming desire to be happy and a PLAN for finding that happiness..so it is key that you have a plan before taking that decision otherwise that happiness your looking for may still elude you for some time

Similar Experience:
I resigned from a Job that was paying more than yours precisely Oct 1 last year.Prior to this i had been promoted and my salary increased 4 times in 4 years. I was scheduled to be promoted again by Dec of same year and i would have reached the mandatory amount of years to get a pay off by Sept 2020. needless to say i walked away from a deal several people would consider comfortable and may even conclude some screws are lose in my head. My wife understood my reasons though and was hugely supportive. (My income was also the main source of funds for the family)

Plan:
Before i resigned, i had an offer from a mentor/friend i met in the cause of my duties who head hunted me for his company. I would later turn down this offer as it wont give me the happiness, peace of mind or fulfillment i craved after careful consideration even though i would have been paid more (i did recommend a good friend for the position and i believe its working out well for them). I put together savings that could take care of all my expenses like i was working for 6 months and if we cut out some luxuries maybe 8/9 months. I also prepared 2 avenues (for nov/dec start) for something minor that would give me an inflow to cover my expenses and leave my savings intact while i figure out how to achieve that inner peace.

The reason i resigned was due to lack of career direction and focus (it made me extremely unhappy), the company was hugely political and favoritism was more recognized than hard work. We hardly solved problems and we were mostly just passing time and doing the motions. i was privy to many things that showed me while i could make a lot of money here, i would never be happy with the organisational culture. I was however valued, well respected and capable in my duties and it was a rude shock for the management when i offered to resign. i had to seat with several management staff who tried to find my reason or change my mind. of cos i had the school of thought to never bad mouth your previous employer and i gave raving reviews to everyone that asked (simply said it was for family reasons and they understood eventually). As some have pointed out, I also never let the hype of my annual reviews and glowing recommendations get into my head (everyone is replaceable) and you may not even get 1 min of silence if you die on the job. The company would definitely not stop operations to remember you. as they say "tree near tree na why monkey dey show skill"

The few friends i told i was resigning were shocked when i told them i did not have another offer but i had a plan with several fail safes and i put them all to action (did not tell them this)

My advise: your happiness is not overrated and you should do everything within your means to put yourself in a happy environment. it will transform every part of your existence. its not coincidence that some of the most famous people in the world are also the most depressed with suicide rates increasing even in places it was deemed a taboo to commit suicide (like Nigeria). Develop a plan and get out of that toxic environment (future you would thank you) . be realistic in your plan and dont necessarily wait 2-5 years extra to endure the madness before leaving (hoping to save millions) afterall, "YOU COULD BE FIRED" what then?

For a little Motivation:
Less than 12 months from taking that decision, I have a Job that pays significantly more than the one i left. i have a side hustle that pays more than my current Job which i started after i left my previous employment. When i think about my situation now, all i can say is how did i stay with that company so long

God has been faithful in every way, trust him and let him guide you.

Hope this helps....




Wow...a lot of insight from this
Thanks a lot

nextstep:


I'm going to say this, but not with harsh intent.

Realize that you are one of a few lucky ones in this country making this amount. As a result, don't wallow in this kind of thinking. Millions of Nigerians work stressful and exhausting jobs (factories, on the street, construction, farming), and don't make anywhere near what you're making. Many Americans sef barely cover living expenses, upon back breaking work. So suck it up, but instead of working to live, start working with an eye towards funding an opportunity.

In that light, don't spend all you make. You didn't mention how much you have left over after paying all your expenses, but if you're like most middle-class people, you spend on a nice residence, nice car, nice clothes, and other nice things you feel that you deserve - rather than save or invest. Which means you're just working to continue the spending cycle.

Based on your income, it's likely your take home pay is around 225k. I would go so far as to say you can survive on 75k a month, put 75k towards a rainy-day fund, and put 75k towards a future investment. You can start looking at buying land, building, or taking part ownership in a real estate project. An example is this partnership being put together by our own spyder880, an eminent personality in the properties section: https://www.nairaland.com/5611895/buy-unit-residential-flat-us. (3.2Million to buy, or you can pay in installments). I don't have a stake in whether you invest or not; personally, if I had extra funds I would jump on this opportunity, but I'm continuing building out my student solar hostels: https://www.nairaland.com/2583312/building-solar-powered-hostel-learning-experience

In other words, take advantage of the fact that you're making bank, and start leveraging your hard work and stress into assets that will work for you. Once you get to a certain stage, yes, you can consider moving into less stressful (even if less paying) positions. I have been in your situation, but I followed advice to suck it up for 5 years, with an eye towards my next move (which hopefully is not just another job). Once you have that goal in mind, you'll realize the stress is worth it.

Bro!!!...
Trust me, I'm on this path already

So help me God

The take home is over 300K like i said, and I save up more than half and planning my exit aggressively while hoping for a soft landing
Whatever anyone says, this life is too short to stay unhappy because of one Job

again, I really appreciate this...I'm taking a look at the threads right away

Please be courageous and polite enough to ask your colleagues to tell you their observed area of your weakness that puts them off. Also ask your boss to be candid in telling you what you are not doing right. This could just be what he is waiting for to advice you. With what they tell you, you can step up gradually but don't sell your birth right.

Hmmm...okay sire

1- Why do you think your boss doesn’t like you?

2- Are you really incompetent?

Let’s start from there.

This is how you know intelligent people...they ask the right questions

so you know when you are employed to do A....that you know and love so much
and you get the Job, and you only get to do doing very little of the A and B-M

That's my plight
