Yup, that’s me. Good morning

Hello Mr Op good evening, sorry to bother u but I would love ur take on this I'll be sharing with u.

There's this telecommunication company I applied for a work few months ago,(A SUBSIDIARY TO THE MAIN COMPANY). It happened that received a texted to come for an interview on 25th of February last month.

I went for the first interview, few days later I got a text that I was successful at the first interview and have been scheduled for another one.

On that said day of the second interview I met with the CEO, he asked me to write a shot detail of what I applied for, where I worked last, reason why I left, what I can do, reason why a fellow colleague might dislike me, my last salary and how much I would like to be paid. I wrote all that was requested of me and proceeds to be interviewed, after the whole session I left.

Few days later again I got a message that reads,:- good evening, please kindly check ur mail for an online zoom training. I check and I saw a link to join the zoom training a day after I received the email.

I joined the zoom training through the link I was sent, met some other people and few coordinators. The training was about what they are really in to and how it works, the whole session lasted for good 4 hours 30minutes, before the end I asked a question on how I'll be engaged and the tools of my work because it appears I was successfull during the whole interview session which is why they sent me a link to be part of their training, and I was told that I'll be communicated back to.

Ever since then I've not heard from them, but I do get messages from them that always refer me to check my mail, like a kind of update.

So my question is why take so long to resume work probably? And is there still hope about the job or should I just move on because it's been a month now since the first interview.

I'm worried

I would advise you keep searching for a job.
You are not employed in an organization till you get an offer letter and an employment contract that seals your agreement with the organization.
Don’t let them play hanky lanky with your emotions.

As a Hr personnel, don’t you think they are also going through hell with him?
I’m also talking about every person irregardless of position applying besides, I’m a tough nut to crack as I’m not just a hr generalist. I understand peoples position on hr personnel’s being on the side of the company but I assume that if the company can do evil things to employees, those same hands will touch me.

GloriousGbola:
all this is story.

you think that Ebun's company does not have sound , well written policies on bullying, whistle blowing etc?

you think they dont have an HR department [by the way - HR is not your friend. the main role of HR is to PROTECT the company from employees]

as to workplace toxicity - people who do not work directly with Ebun may have different stories about him. to them he may just be the driven oga. CEOs fall into the seven professions mostly likely to have psychopaths. so in several other forums, EBun will be looking like a charming down to earth guy.

unless there is a major incident - you will be thoroughly shielded during your workplace interview from the actual corporate culture.

if anything you are more likely to be bowled over, esp if you're young at talking to some superstar ceo.

no be today? who remembers access bank it shall not be well with them ceo. dude was so petty, he actually had IT forensics guys track down just who shared that nasty email



this is it. and even then, some people still thrive there. so i would be wary about giving advise. there are people in that office that have completely jelled with that Ebun fellow and can work with him. they may even respond right back. Bleep you too man , butt heads and do power handshakes

Omo. Crazy thin Oga are happening

iHart:
There was a time I got a job interview with a big firm. I was certain about getting the job because of the recommendation I had. When I got to the company, I was asked to wait at the security post. While sitted there, I saw a notice on the board that said all the staff are expected to attend the burial of the mother of the owner of the company. The notice directed all the unit head to take attendance and report to the management. The notice said that attendance is mandatory and their will be sanctions for those who fail to attend. Something lead to something and the interview was cancelled for that day. So I was asked to return two days after. Before I left, I went to see the man that recommended for the job. He told me that my unit head is a lady and that I shouldn't show that I know the work more than her. Accordung to him, if the Chairman notice I am experienced more than my senior, he will demote her and promote me. Thats how the chairman works, who ever gets the work done very well, leads the unit irrespective of your years of experience in the firm. That will bring problem for me because many staff use juju for and against people in that company. I asked him what happened to the person that was in that position before. He said the man was caught in a native doctor's place where he went to do juju against the chairman of the company. They reported him to the chairman and he sacked him. I asked the man, who caught him and what took the person that caught him to the native doctor? I asked the man why he didn't recommend his son who was also qualified for the Job. He said, after him, none of his family member will work there. He painted a picture of a toxic environment.

I didn't return again for the interview. Irrespective of the salary, that place would have been hell for me.

Maryjane001:
Awesome read.

Thank you

Lymetsaucer:
You will know a lot by observing how he/she treats staff during your interviews.

Very true, I was in an interview and saw how jittery a lower staff was asking for a document. It was my sign to japa

WetinIsabi:
This list doesn't cut it. Except for testimonies from past employees, there is no way you can know for sure.

I included hunting former and current employees, it’s there

Nigerian workers are terrible, they are specialists in running businesses aground.

They deserve whatever they get from your "toxic workplace"

That’s why companies have the human resource personnel to curtail this issues too. Most times organizations like to minimize relevant personnel which is their downfall.

BigBashiru:


This thread won't reach 7 pages....because it's not about nyash and relationship and seks....

I don’t intend to have it reach pages just educate people. That’s all

In the light of the current trending Topic #horrible bosses on social media, I would love to give my take on how to spot red flags at workplaces before or during job interviews from my perspective as a Lawyer and Human capital manager.

1.Superfluous and Vague Job Descriptions: Personally,writing a job description for a job advert is usually to attract someone who can perform those duties to the best of their given abilities and qualifications. But when a job description begins to mention buzzwords like "do you get angry or upset when you lose a simple game with friends? Hated being in any other position than First position? Competed with siblings and friends on everything growing up? Good!!! we want you as our sales executive. Send In your applications to......"
Now this sounds fun and really catchy but if you look at it thoroughly,it is a pointer of a toxic workplace some of the times. As vague as the job description sounds, that is how your work roles duties are bound to become on starting the job.
You want to apply for a job with a specified job description and possibly specific SOP on resumption to work.

2. The Interview is Riddled with an Unclear picture of the Job rolea nd Work Environment : I would keep saying this, an interview is the portal to see everything you would be doing in the prospective organisation. Infact, it is called an interview because the employer and prospective employee are looking to see if they would be a great fit for the organisation.
While interviewing, ask questions about the organisation; about their work culture, their salary structure and frequency, talk about rewards, pension and hmo, and even their employee turn over rate. Dont be shy, I like bold interviewees.
It is bad enough when the hiring manager cannot even explain the responsibilities of the role to you and when finally employed, you would find yourself being the Receptionist, Accountant, Cleaner, Security guard and then the main role you were employed for, Graphic designer and God help you, you find out the employer hires and fires at will.
However,I understand the employer may not be truthful as to the turnover rate in organizational work culture. So do yourself a favour and go on LinkedIn, twitter, Facebook or Glassdoor, hunt down former amd current employees and ask for honest feedback as to the employee turnover rate and work culture.

3. The Employment contract: I have an acquaintance that gets paid her monthly salary on the third week of the next month. I mean, it was written in her employment letter and she signed on it in desperation.
I would advise that when given an offer letter and an employment contract which you should have within 2 weeks of your employment, be read thoroughly or given to a lawyer to read through and explained to you. You would be surprised the kind of clauses and words that could and would alter an original agreement without an unlearned eye noticing it.
In your employment contract, these following terms should be contained with no exception but not expansively mentioned:
a) Terms and duties of your contract, with your exact Job title in bold.
b)Remuneration and benefits
c) Work hours in bold. If there is overtime, it should be written and if its paid or unpaid, it should also be written.
d) Leave and (maternity leaves for females)
e) Probation.
f) Termination and notice, make sure it has a notice period and a right to terminate from both parties with salary in lieu of notice and other compensation benefits.
e) Anti slavery and Sexual Assault policy.

Note: your contract can be negotiated and should be negotiable. And if it helps, mention to the hiring manager your desire to give your employment contract to your lawyer to look through. It helps notify the employer of legal cover. If you know what I mean.

4.Pray to whatever you believe,that you don't get employed by a demon boss and if you have already trapped, plan your exit and run for your life!!

I didn't want this to be a boring read, please everyone can input on red flags at Job places,or job interviews and how to avoid them?

BTW, I'm a corporate lawyer with experience in Corporate practice, contracts(real estate contracts, probate administration included) and Human Resource management. My dm is open for business only. Thank you.

Towma:



I don't eat well but let's leave that side alone.
I am searching for freelancing jobs I can do on the internet/during the weekends for extra income.

I don't know how to say this but depriving yourself of food while the person complaining about budgeting the most eats satisfactorily, doesn't make sense. If you are starving yourself of food you may not even think well. Please eat and when the person who eats the most comes around budgeting , you both can now find a head way.

If you can't find freelance jobs, maybe you should start small scale hand jobs like sewing, parfait and anything that necessarily gives you financial freedom. I wish I know some freelance gig that could help but I don't for now. But eat, your family and children need you. I mean, whether you eat or not, the food expenditure is still going to be 60,000 regardless.

Towma:


Hubby doesn't want to deprive himself, I am the one bearing burden of the management. I didn't even want to mention that part, for example he must always eat goat meat and Plantain when eating rice, he does not like garri swallow. Only Semo and pounded yam. Infact let me not go there.

I hope you eat well too. You should strive to also get an income if you don’t have one already or put heads together and increase your income but make sure to eat well

It’s so sad honestly
