Travelista: You don't have to wonder, just ask. I was on a business trip and the applicants are foolish. Why on earth would you bring in clients when the bank hasn't even hired you? I would never do it but it boils down to desperation and employers exploiting the downtrodden.

Also, can you read? You've stalked some of my other posts, shown you're a liar and still can't comprehend that I'm not a 'dude'? You're possibly a lost cause, my friend.

Travelista: Why is this complaint being posted over and over? Stop comparing your new employer to the old one (that failed). So, you don't get a birthday cake? You're at work to work; you can celebrate on your free time or, better yet, the support staff can chip in and buy cakes for their coworkers.

Core staff and support staff are not the same: most companies work to keep their core employees while support staff is seen as expendable. Sounds harsh but it's true.

Why should someone have a Bsc and be treated equally with someone that has an HND? I worked hard, double majored and got into law school and graduated; there is no way on earth a corporation would agree to offer me a package they offered to someone in a support role. If you're so 'literate', go back to school and upgrade your degree because the real world is not going to slow down or downgrade their standards to appease you.

Businesses (banks included) are open to make money. Support and contract staff traditionally do the majority of the lifting and get paid the least. You can't expect a professional or core staff member to spend their day answering phones, counting money or typing letters; that grunt work...and that's where support staff comes to the rescue.

I'm seeing a lot of whining in this thread and very little, if any, is justified. Your employer only employees you: they don't have to be your friend, hold your hand, celebrate or commiserate with you. Do that on your personal time. Don't like it? Get another job or research what it takes to join those you feel are treated better. I know this doesn't sound nice but that is how things work everywhere.

Osama10: This is the original thread.

Travelista: You've gone out of your way to make assumptions about a complete and total stranger. Whether you believe it or not, I work hard. No matter what you think, most people within an organization work hard for their bread and butter. It may not be the unglamorous work that support staff does but most work hard. If we are talking reality, my job is to find weakness in my opponent's approach and rectify things to the benefit of my side. Our support staff is there to offer...believe it or not...SUPPORT because my job is far more specialized and requires attention to certain details, while support staff usually handles more mundane, general tasks. Without my role, there would be no need for support staff in our office and without support staff, my work wouldn't be as well put together as our clients require. Is it fair that I get paid more than them? Depends on who you ask but my additional years of training doesn't hurt. (Also, please note some lawyers never set foot in a courtroom and the legal profession is not as fast-paced as it is shown on TV. In fact, it's mostly reading. )

As you keep harping about reality, do you sit around crying for the people that applied for the job you currently hold? What makes you think YOU deserved the job over them? I'll tell you what: your experience and education. If you truly believe that someone cannot have something unless they prey on the weak, I'd love to read on Monday that you have tendered your resignation at your place of employment, given up your home and belongings and become an ascetic...but I won't because you deserve the rewards of your hard work. Just as I do.

Whether you like it or not, I have a right to take pride in my accomplishments just as much as the next person. You have to be a sick person to deduce from my few posts that I want to keep the weak oppressed...seriously, who are you and how do you lack basic reading comprehension? Not only that but you think I should strive to call myself a human rights activist? Again, who are you? Tell me: what have YOU done to provide succor to your fellow man? Don't worry about my pockets; worry about yours. I'm not here to make people feel bad but to help them understand that the professional world can be a cold place but there are ways to survive without comprising your morals.

There is no shame in being a realist: it doesn't mean you lack empathy, sympathy or kindness for those that life is unjust towards. It just means you understand that not everyone can live a charmed life. Not everyone will have wealth. Some will find life harder than others and as sad as it is, people continue to fall into the Us v. Them trap. I am idealistic enough to believe that everyone deserves a chance to prove their worth. As I stated in a previous post, if your current place is not fulfilling your needs, make the necessary changes. If your employer still doesn't budge, look for a new place. (Obviously, secure the new job before quitting the one you have!) But sitting around grumbling? That's what they want...to keep you feeling helpless. You power comes when you realize they need you more than you need them.

Travelista: I saw where the poster complained about how the company reacted to the deaths of employees; in fact, I responded in one of the numerous threads started about IBplc v. Access Bank and offered condolences and said the families could file wrongful death suits if they felt Access was at fault. You don't have to like what I wrote but it doesn't make it any less true: your employer is not your friend and never will be (no matter how nicely they may treat you). You, as an employee, are disposable; this applies from the very top, all the way to the very bottom. HOWEVER, some are more expendable than others.

If you actually read my post that you quoted, you'd see I graduated from law school; if you think that my hard work does not factor into the corporate positions I have earned, then you are only fooling yourself. Are there situations when an under-qualified person is in a position that is too advanced for them? Of course, it happens! Are there times that an overqualified person is in a position they could do in their sleep? Of course! But, for the latter, why accept a position and then turn around and complain about it? Either speak up to those that matter or find a place that suits your needs and nurtures your talents. Though easier said than done, it CAN be done. Think of it as survival of the fittest; keep pushing and you will get what you desire.

Your post sounds like you begrudge the success of others and that's fine; call me condescending, a snob, whatever makes you feel better but the fact remains: only YOU can make yourself better suited for your position at work, in life, in relationships, etc. Expecting life to bend and break to suit your needs is an futile endeavor.

To be fair, one doesn't have to be in Nigeria to know that complaints like those expressed by the OP are universal: I worked for a multinational before I branched out on my own and we had a receptionist that was constantly complaining about how even junior associates were allowed to have long lunch breaks, come in later and work from home. I jokingly warned her that if she had any issues with the workplace, she should address it privately with HR. Well, she didn't heed my advice and was eventually fired because she complained more than she worked and brought down morale amongst support staff. What she (and many others like her) don't understand is that those they feel are given better treatment put in sweat equity in other ways. We worked a minimum of 60 hours a week, were not eligible for overtime, were required to be available for calls at 3am because a client was in Hong Kong and wanted us to participate in a conference call, the list goes on.

I feel sorry for you if you think people like me are drawing Nigeria back; being logical and understanding that business is not sentimental is how economies flourish.

Rudebwoy: guy, English dey confuse you badly. "Am I supposed" not "are my".

Maximus85: As for me, there's only one fish in the ocean and I have her, I will never let her go. If I lose her, (God forbid) then the ocean will be empty.

Some men are just crazy.
