Career / Re: My Boss Uses Divide And Rule System: Should I Quit Or Ignore by paulGrundy(m): 11:03pm On Jan 12
ponkitibobo:
Dear nairalanders, i need your sincere advice on this issue. I am the overall manager of a company. My boss ( the owner) uses divide and rule system. He likes people snitching on others. He has adviced me as the manager to adopt same system to get information about what's happening.

My concern now is that he doesn't probe me to speak about others but he probes others to speak about me. So far so good no scandal has been reported against me. I live above board with the fear of God to the best of my ability.

Each time he will tell me the workers said i dont take suggestions, i am harsh with them when they suggest. I know this is a lie on the part of the workers.

This is where i need your advice: should i confront my boss and ask why he is doing that. Why is he using them against me and not me against them.

This attitude is frustrating me. He is always confronting me with their very sentimental and subjective opinions. Meanwhile non is able to say any serious evil against. I know if they see they will definitely tell him . But non as at today.

Should i quit the job or just ignore

My previous boss used this same tactics. It's a method adopted in insecure bosses to control all the staffs. Don't quit until you get another job, at the same time don't ignore. One problem with divide and rule tactics is that office conflict is frequent and it makes it difficult for workers to cooperate together even on simple tasks ultimately leading to someone being asked to go! In my previous workplace we had high staff turnover, fire, resign. Hire, fire, resign, repeat. From experience what kept me is:

1. Ignore hurtful words and actions of others and focus on your work.

2. Cooperate with others no matter what.

3. Don't involve in office gossip and up your game in your tasks.

4. Don't give room for mistakes and always give feedback back even on the most mundane task to reduce your boss' insecurity.

Start planning your exit, as staying in that environment for too long can hinder your progress. Promotion and pay raise often do not go to the most competent, it goes to stooges or the bosses informants and loyalists.

If you take part in office politics you won't last long there. If you follow my advice and stay out of politics you will be stagnated and lose out on all the good things happening in the office.

Talking from experience.

Ọmọ there's lots and lots of deceptive and misleading informations back in the first century from the Christians and unbelieving Jews it takes great faith to believe in the whole arrangement back then after all the confusion.

So if you were alive back then you will surely be among those criticizing the faith! smiley

You're worried about the teachings but failed to do what Jesus asked faithful people to do:

"Take note of their FRUIT" Matthew 7:16

If you lived in the first century you will feel the back and forth, deceptive/misleading and life threatening doctrines among the Christians because that's exactly what faithless people of your kind made their concern back then.

The first troubling part of this your narrative is you classifying the first Christians as deceptive. Am now tempted to ask if you are truly a Christian or just an atheist mocking the faith!

secondly, did the early bible Christians predict that world will end in 1970? did Paul or peter teach that you have to be baptized in Jehovahs organization and not through Jesus" name? Did Jesus ever mention the name of an group/creed and giving his endorsement? Did paul teach that only 144,000 will go to heaven? Did Peter say that we should pray hail mary!!! Did paul teach that you have to be baptized as a redeemed or JW or catholic to be saved?

Several times in the bible the condition for salvation is to believe in Jesus. Anything in addition to this is unnecessary! Anything outside this is false! That's why folks who say you have to be a member of a christain creed or do things for you to be saved on the last day are misleading their fold, or commercialing the gospel and the watchtower is not exempt! most sheeple do not even realize they are saved!

The bible made this thing easier for us, why are we complicating it for ourselves?



So instead of contemplating on those things that's peculiar to imperfect humans faithful people focus on the FRUITAGE of pure worship: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL! Galatians 5:22-23

Pure worship is not about perfection but willing hearts to humbly do God's will! wink

When the head of a denomination or a group continuously and deliberately makes false 100% EOD predictions without showing any remorse or changing, that person is not an Imperfect human, he is the wolve Jesus taught about in John 10!

At the least the difference between the tongue torting crew false fellas that fall in your category is that some predictions come to pass by sheer chance and some of them try to explain failures and own up to it. Can we say the same of the watchtower?

You can continue deceiving yourselves nobody cares what you think about God's people so far they are performing excellently throughout the earth as foretold regarding them.

There are two classes of atheists:

1, Those who say God doesn't exist.
2, Those who say God exists but no perfect standard.

Both are hiding something behind that they're not saying in their hearts ~ "we don't need any God to tell us what is right or wrong" Psalms Psalms 14:1

So you people only like quoting what is written in books you don't want to agree that people in those stories are real as in imperfect humans trying to do God's will. That's why you want to set standards that's unreachable then disqualify God's standard completely.

Ọmọ you've lost it, intelligent individuals like me will IDENTIFY Jesus' true disciples no matter how hard Satan try to complicate things with false religious sects! wink

Politics / Loopholes In Cbns New Naira Design Policy That Needs Urgent Attention by paulGrundy(m): 9:36am On Oct 27, 2022
Just yesterday, the news media was awash with news about CBNs attempting to redesign the 100, 200, 500 & 1000 naira notes. The premises behind this policy was to enable the apex bank, have a better grasp of the money supply as over N3 trillion is not within the financial framework. The aim of this policy is to make Nigerians exchange their old notes for the new ones, majority of which are unbanked. It is expected that this policy will
1. fight inflation- basic Economics has it that a monetary control measure for inflation is to raise interest rates, taxes. since majority of the funds would be captured by the system, monetary policy becomes very effective.
2. Contrary to the opinion the the CBN governor, Godwin Emiefele, commercial banks will make a lot of profit. But this time it will not be from bank charges, it will be from account opening. over 70% of Nigerians are unbanked, from the village farmer to the uneducated handyman. This policy will sweeping them into the financial system.
3. Increased Employment- we may see more employment in institutions like banks- more DSAs will be employed. Real estate and investment firms- The shady business man or politician may use these institutions to hide their ill gotten wealth.
4. Fight corruption, electoral vote buying, crime- a vast majority of the funds in the black money market are proceeds by fraud, drug peddling, kidnapping, corruption by thieves, bad politicians, fraudsters who have been hoarding the naira over the years to avoid surveillance. considering the fact that elections are just around the corner, it may reduce electoral malpractice by 70% are the corrupt politicians may be unwilling to exchange the old notes for the new one to avoid questioning and subsequently detention. But then my reasoning is that there will be a surge in the demand for foreign currencies e.g USD. BDC activites will increase tremendously. The corrupt elements will quickly convert the old naira notes to USD and then hoard the USD.

SOLUTION

1. The CBN should Implement strong regulatory framework for the BDCs or Abokis as people popularly call them. They should be able to keep track of those who change their naira for USD, their names, address, everything.
2. Mandate banks and BDC's to stop giving out USD and foreign currencies. All payments or remittances must be via transfer or digital platform.

The worst mistake you can make is to accept an offer from a toxic place because you have no job. It can destroy your life. Toxic places are known for gaslighting or can give you a bad reference to your next employee. You could even work and be sacked without pay in a toxic place. I advise you not to take that chance.

There is something I usually do when I get a new job, I would take a leave of absence from my current place of work and resume at the new office before tendering my resignation. The few days I have there, I use it for fact finding. I implore you to do the same, it has never failed me. A lot can happen then.. your offer letter can be changed to a new offer you wouldn't like, you can be drifted to a department you don't like.

#Just so you know, the physical reviews is much worse than the online reviews the OP posted.

I am very glad I didn't accept the offer. Egatee is a good place to work, but my state of mind is of utmost importance. I would not want to work in a place where I am scared of being the next person to be sacked.

Wish you the best!!

After 2 weeks of meeting her, I started feeling sick, had rashes at the back of both of my legs, tired almost all the time, sore throat, and since then I have taken all sorts of drug - orthodox and trado but yet no response.

I have to gone for several test. One result Said beta hemolytic streptococcus pyogenese was seen in my urine culture and I was given erythromycin and augmentin for 2 weeks. I felt a little relief. Then I started having tongues thrush.

It's almost 6 months now and I have not felt any better.

I have had HIV test done severally but all come back negative.

But my worry is, I still feel sick. What could this disease be.

The girl confessed that she only has what they call - heat. That's my first time hearing this.
I stay in ik and really need help. I sincerely regret that sexual encounter and wish I could retrace my steps.

Someone help!!!

It could be Syphilis. Do a general STD test fast before it does irreparable damage

Education / Re: Is Teaching Job Now A Modern Day Slavery?? Honestly I'm So Angry Right Now by paulGrundy(m): 10:57pm On Jun 29, 2022
HenryIgwe01:
A private school called me for an interview last week Monday. As a job hunter I'm always prepared for any interviews. So when I got there, It's was a 3 segments interview (written test, oral and micro teaching)

As a Bsc graduate in Accounting Education, I was given financial accounting, English language and current affairs for the written test interview. The account and English was WAEC standard questions. After the written test interview, the principal said he will call me for further interviews if i pass the test.

On Thursday morning, I received a call from the school inviting me for further interviews which is oral and micro teaching. When I got there, the principal was asking me loads of questions like why should I hire you? How many years experience do you have? How do you discipline a child? how can you make this school grow? Can we trust you with our female students? bla bla bla... After that we went to the classroom for the final segment which was micro teaching.

After everything, he employed me and we started discussing about the subject I will teach and the salary. The principal said I will be teaching Accounting, Economics and Marketing (ss1 - ss3), I said no problem.

What really got me angry was about the salary, he said he's willing to pay me 30k without negotiation.

As if that wasn't enough, he later said he can also call me anytime to teach any subject if the particular subject teacher isn't around. I was just laughing in my mind.

The principal was expecting me to resume today, he has been calling me since morning, I haven't picked his calls. I'm not a slave.

Mind you, this is a standard private school and my "least" expectation was 45k, Assuming he was willing to pay 45k, I would have resumed today.

Why are private schools so wicked? Is teaching job now a modern day slavery? I'm tired of this country.

Depending on the private school. Some private schools in the island pays 80-100k for entry level teachers. Aim for those ones.

Career / Re: Just Fired. How Do I Cope With The Emotional Trauma? by paulGrundy(m): 3:21pm On Jun 20, 2022
MsJackson:
Hello my uncles and aunts.

I'll make this as brief as possible. I teach in a school where the owner uses his father's compound, back flats. His family lives in front apartment.

Some months ago, last year precisely, i had an issue with his sister, last born, and i decided to avoid her totally to prevent future occurrence. I face my job and do it well.

We the teachers observe that the family always call their son to report any issue, especially if we faltered in some cases. It was getting too much.

So on that day, exactly two weeks ago, we were asked to oversee the students sporting activities, done in front of the school compound. I was walking out with my colleague and we were discussing something we both saw on social media, about gistlover. The sister overheard it and believed we were talking about her, calling her gistlover.

She walked up to me and confronted me in a harsh manner. I tried explaining to her that we weren't referring to her, but she wouldn't listen and before you know it, we were exchanging words. I said a lot because I was angry that she singled me out to confront, when we were two discussing the issue.

She was telling me to get out and i was sooo angry that I used the f word on her. Later, her parents came back and she reported me to them. Without calling to hear my side of the story, they both told their son to send me away. The mother even said that wherever she saw me, she would strip me naked. Their son my boss came, me and my colleague were called to say what happened,we did, then my boss told me to go home and stay put for a while.

After a week,he called and told me my services were no longer needed, that he made his own private investigation from the students and they confirmed I used the f word on his sister. I am not innocent. I admitted my fault, but he refused to temper justice with mercy. He promised to pay me for this month, but my reputation is stained. AGAIN.

Considering the fact that I had some issues with a previous school two years ago, very close to this one. There I resigned on my own. Now everybody is looking at me like I am a bad person. I AM NOT. I try to be sooooo nice and polite, but people always take advantage of that to look down on me. I am extremely humble to a fault, even hubby says I present myself as mumu to people too much.

Is it a crime to be of small stature? I am 39yrs of age and this girl I had an altercation with, she is in her early 20's. I felt so disrespected because of how she confronted me, even poking her fingers in my face in the presence of the students, so I lost my temper. I didn't mean to. Now people are looking at me somehow. I don't feel like waking up in the mornings because I wonder how I would face the day.

I NEED A JOB, that will help me heal from this trauma. Graduated 11 years ago, Chemical Engineering, University of Benin. But I still don't have a good job, I have been teaching to hold body, but I am fed up.

The salary is sooooo small, compared to the work load I was handling. I would love to work in a good company, but nobody, no one is willing to give me a chance. I am depressed daily. God should just use a good person to help me, wipe my tears. Sorry for the long write-up.

Do you base in Lagos?

Good day my good people out there.
On February third this year, I got a message from GTBank that a GTBank account has been opened for me, with my account number. The message did not specify who, from where or why the account was opened for me. I tried to contact GTBank customer service but i got no reply from their WhatsApp number. Now this morning, I got a credit alert of ₦5 through GTB GAPS services from IJM INTEGRATED SERVICES LIMITED.
I've not heard about this very company before and all my google searches are not helping matters at all.
GTB GAPS i learnt processes funds that are paid in batches.... It's a kind of E-cheques.
So i really want to know if anyone received the same message or does anyone have any idea where this whole thing is coming from. Do i really need to report to the bank or just ignore?
Messages are sent to my small phone; i should have attached screenshots.


Admins pls help me push to fp

It is not a suspicious Account. A marketer who is under pressure used your details to open an account inorder to meet Account opening target. The N5 is because you can't open an account without money in it. So he/she basically used N5 to open an account for you.
