self employed is better than working with a useless boss.
oh lord! Teach us to understand that our destiny is in our hand.

If you dont humble yourself and learn, work under another person or firm you may be left handed.
You have to learn resource planning and other things that makes a business flourish or hire experts at cutthroat rates while depending on them for everything.

We love the bandwagon mentality and will always like to play victim. I believe the exercise session is no done on weekly basis, and it came from a resolution of a meeting held which you were part of or aware of.
If so, you deserve not just the query but any punishment that goes with it.
You could given a tenable excuse for your absence at at the said exercise you decided to not to go without officially informing anyone. Excuses of transportation fare and insecurity are not tenable, nor even the poor pay.
If the work no pay you abeg resign, no spoil another man's investment/business.

So you didn't take any excuse prior to your absenteeism and you are wondering why you were queried.

And I'm sure you were part of the meeting where extra curricular activities such as the exercise was deliberated upon and resolved.

Kindly respond to your query.

There's nothing wrong.

If you think your excuse was genuine WY didn't you tell your management.

If everyone choose to act like you. How would the company grow.

As an employee working in a private organization this are one of the many things you will experience.

Is now left for you to accept or leave the job if you aren't cool with the conditions.
If everybody disagree with the conditions and leave who will do the job Oga boss?

But it was properly communicated that that absence from extra curricular activities in the company is sanctionable based on the meeting resolution. The staff agreed to it hence, it is binding. Nothing wrong with the query, rules are rules. If you're not okay with the rules, then speak out.

I disagree
If you were in that meeting and you didnt disagree or state your issues with the pronouncement.
I think you exaggerated your salary as a firm that insist people exercise must be an A List firm.
You published the query letter with the names of others thereby putting them in trouble. You didnt even try to do the right thing!
You must be w troublesome person
Reply the query and learn from it
Na so. A list firm that cannot afford toner/cartridge. the output of that damn letter is killing my eyes.
showing names of his colleagues though is wrong and no right thinking firm would put so much pressure on their staff for something that isn't all that relevant, i believe people can do the 'walk out' at home too.

All companies right now are having one exercise session or another.
The dude failed to communicate his views during the meeting.
You missed the point

This is an internal memo with people's real names. Sharing it on a public forum is highly unprofessional. I doubt if you obtained any consent from those colleagues of yours before exposing their names on nairaland. If this organization is able to unmask your nairaland identify, you may find yourself in a messy situation. Privacy and data protection is taken very seriously globally these days.
That said, the company has only issued you a query. A query is not yet a sanction. A query requires you to provide an explanation for an action or failure thereof. A sanction may or may not follow a query. So, they are very much within their rights to issue you a query.
About your failure to attend the exercise and whether you can be sanctioned or not, I think a lot depends on your employment letter. If it is stated that the company can assign to you as it deems fit other duties that are outside your line of duty, my brother, they have tied your hands. If they did not specify the working days and working hours, my brother you are a modern day slave like many of us.
Your saving grace may be the covid 19 concerns. If you can prove that the company did not follow the covid 19 protocols in the sports exercise, then they dare not sack/sanction you. You can go to court and claim damages.
I don't want to dwell on your salary. I guess nobody forced you to accept the job.

I read everything,.... I'm an employee also.
I work on Saturdays sometimes too, and what I do on most Saturdays are not my core duties at all but I have to be there because it is an official event.
If there is any reason why OP can't make it on a particular day, then reasons must be given before the day and permission granted.
But OP decided not to attend the event, and official event, without any permission , that is mighty wrong sir/ma.

That your boss want to employ all his family members...

Query is questions and answers...

He can't take the job from you guys because he is putting himself at risk too... He is using the carrots and sticks method.

Next time, put call through his phone rather text message him...

Help! Is This Query Letter Necessary? Absenteeism From Saturday’s Exercise Session
My Boss is at it again, this time he gave more than 16 staff queries for absenteeism from Saturday’s Exercise Session, which is not part of our employment agreement.

On Saturday, we are mandated to come to the office from 6: 00 am to 8: 00 am for one hour of exercise.
I don’t turn up for Saturday’s Exercise Session due to the security and transport fare challenge

Transport Fare
Saturday’s exercise session is taking a toll on me financially, I spend N600 daily to and from work, Monday to Friday. My take-home-pay is not up to Nigeria’s minimum wage
Adding Saturday to my transport budget would drain me financially
Security
I am mindful of the security situation in my area. On more than one occasion, people have been robbed/killed at an early hour in the morning, giving rise to fear and security consciousness
My question is, why are Nigerian Boss’ this Heartless? Was it perversity we longed to address this? What hope lies in secrecy if Boss’ continue to treat employees like a slave?

Punch your boss in the face and quit undecided

Before burning your house down, read your query letter well, it says seek for permission before absenting yourself! You can also use your claims to defend yourself.
