It's all just marketing!

Find a way to get into the news.

Justify yourself of the bad reputation/claims.

End your article by an example of one of the most attractive service you provide (coding, as in this case).

And boom, a few thousand Nairalanders now know about you!

A cliché marketing system.

But wait, #66,000 a month for coding?!? Take it EASY!

Lol, thought I was the only one that observed this.

Even if the banks decide to train more tech guys, that will still not solve the problem. The major cause of the problem is poor pay and poor work environment. The trained staff will be demotivated even before his contract with you ends and he will leave once it ends.

Most of them will walk out of the contract once they have a foreign job and their visa is ready. Guys done wise oh.

It's well

This has got me reflecting on my report cards from primary and secondary school. It was always "she is passive". So this thing didn't start today. �

The anxiety after a day of socializing can affect one's mental health, you run through every conversation you had, what you said and wish you had or hadn't... Gets exhausting.

Phew!!! The list goes on.

From my personal expereince, this thing called #toxicwork environment is mostly rife in one-man companies, and Indian, Lebanese or Chinese companies in Nigeria. I started my career with a one-man oil company and the MD, whom I worked directly with as his PA, was tyrant and heartless bully both at home and at work. He would call us all manner of unprintable names. He was a very good friend of Fashola, who was then the governor of Lagos state. Late night meetings upon late night meetings. Sometimes, I close by 3 a.m and still has to be in his house before 8 a.m the same day. I would wait until he woke up and his first response to my greeting would be "oloriburuk omo Ibo". I go laugh and still say "thank you sir".

My second job experience where I was at the receiving end of #toxicwork environment was in an Indian pharmaceutical company. Omo, the target was crazy. The Indian boss was always breathing down our neck with loads of insults and embarrassment. I dared not sit in the office beyond 9 a.m. I nearly died, started feeling like a loser and always fighting my complex and morale.

When I left and joined a multinational company where there were procedures, policies and protocols, I saw a lot of differences. I swore never to work for a one-man firm or any company that is Lebanese, Indian or Chinese.

Your story is inspiring.

Hello Guys, I got an invite at the Federal Ministry of trade and logistics. I don't know how much they pay because I currently have a job that pays me up to 100k a month. Please an advice would be appreciated

If there is a staff handbook, revert to the staff handbook. If there is none, then I will advise on month notice on the minimum or salary in lieu. Btu if you notified the company of your intention to resign and it did not object, then you are free to leave.

Thanks.
