Exactly one month.... I found out that my employer was tricky and probably wasn't gonna pay so I siphoned as much money I could without him knowing and when I completed one month the guy started coming up with excuses of how his money was missing but yet couldn't tell me how the money was missing since my records were intact and complete.

I just quit the job.

Every job is a form of slavery, as long as you work for someone. (It's Master-Slave relationship).

Hey guys so how long have you spent at a job before calling it a quit or probably disengaged?

So this year I have been quite funny with jobs and whatnot

So the first job I did this year, I didn't spend up to 2 months before leaving, the job was too stressful for me and I couldn't cope.

The second I spent a month and half then I left because the pay wasn't encouraging

The third one though sounded interesting, and I was like oh finally a management position. So after almost three months of processing my application and several documents submitted.. I was finally called to resume but I left after the first two days.
The job wasn't for me, it looked good on the outside but something else on the inside, to me it was slavery.

So I have decided to leave anything that has to do with job alone.. I'm doing well for myself grin

So guys let's have your views.
So so so so so so grin

So, 3 months for me was the shortest duration I've been in a job grin

One day, it was one of those phone sellers in Ikeja, they said they would pay a salary of 40k, I asked them to increase it to 60k, they said no, the job was also Mondays to Sundays, 8am to 8pm. After the first day, I japaaa and searched for a better one, 50 percent of employers in Nigeria are just something else.
Why not say from Monday to Monday

My current job pays $5k in a month. So I have no reason not to put my all and it is a remote job too.

3 weeks, a marketing job at a Bank, I hate to be taken advantage of, that is pure evil and wickedness.

That's insane, I have heard things like that, thought the banking industry is a noble profession.

After compulsory two weeks training, myself and few others had pass the test and was told to resume officially on Monday. I was very excited that I finally secure the 35k job and on that very Monday, I was at my best. I settled into my office and open my wi-fi to connect my phone, an email came in and the content of the message made me leave the job immediately without writing any resignation letter. Funny enough, I received salary for that month even without working for just 1 minute.
Wetin dey the email?

Honestly, I would like to resign from my current job but the odds are not yet in my favor, I have worked for over a year but the salary is just to pay rent and transport with little to even feed, Monday to Saturday (9-5), not minding the hours spent on traffic jam each day.... It is well sha...


No single savings to show from my work, upon my strictness in spending!!!

So sorry about that.. I do hope you get the right job, meanwhile try applying at jobs site.. they are legit though.

Yeah.. seems so, the idea of getting paid at month end is not good for me

It isn't actually good for anyone with a serious upward financial destination... Salary jobs are even worse jokes in this hyper-inflated economy.

The least you can do for low earning employees is not further eat up their limited daily time and lives. How the fvck do you compel a graduate to give up 12 hours and 7 days a week of his life for a pay that isn't enough for middle class existence??!... That is worse than slavery!

I even hear of private schools that take up more than 10 hours of a young person's life daily, with work load meant for 3 people, yet pay them below the minimum wage... That is beyond inhuman!
