I currently work in a bakery I was desperate when I took the job because I need money to sort my final year project in school. I work basically 24 hrs everyday cos I usually sleep there and it's only on Monday that I don't work because I told them I'm a student and I'll need to see my project supervisor in school.. I'm damn tired of the work because I don't even have time for myself but wetin man wan do I just want to gather little money to pay my school fees and get a small laptop so I can learn a digital skill..I know it will take a while for me to achieve this because the pay is 30k per month but I can't wait to leave I'm tired

Yes, Bismack.
I don’t work for the man, I work for that woman ans I wasn’t the only one.
Same story by everyone that worked with her.
bobbiiee:
That must be Bismack Ventures, I guess. Iya herself! it is not fair to owe workers salary.

I worked with someone who deducts workers salary monthly. I was with him for 10 months. My salary was not deducted once. Though, he wasn't a nice person, I didnt give him a reason to deduct my salary. I went the extra mile through out my stay.

The brother of your ex boss is amazing. I know 3 staff that he bought cars for. In my view, he is a good man. At times, there are two sides to every story.

Why confine yourself to a slavery job when you can learn hot digital skills on Skillshare, futurelean, Coursera and Udemy.

Get the required certificates and work remotely.

Even if you are earning $50 per gig, you are doing better than most of these people that tie rope on thier neck with starched shirt...

Please which of this skill can you recommend. I need to learn something I can do online

Before this job, I was working for a Nigerian company that pay #220k/month and I get extra #100k/month from a side gig. My Nigerian boss didn't even complain that I gave him 2 weeks notice to start my new job.

Well, who would? Imagine going from #220k/month to $5k/month

And it shouldn't be like that, the bank manager purposely recruited more female marketers with good looks for that evil purpose cos when I first resumed we the new ones were all females, it took me 3 weeks to realise why, that was years ago when I was a newbie in the employment world, now I know better.
thats nonsense thing my sister, but it has always been like that and there is nothing anybody can do about it

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.



I took an IT job with an Iowa based company and quit after one month,they send me all sort of mail afterwards but I wasn't having it.

The working condition wasn't ok for me.

I wish i could get this your courage. Though most times it comes and most times it doesn't, just like now. I was doing pretty well for myself saving 90k via street every month after nysc. I have already made up my mind not to work for anyone for a pay less than 100k and would prefer fg work..... Not untill a friend called telling me if i would like to apply for where she works, i asked for the pay, she said 97k... Ah ah, 97k isn't far from 100k.... Na so i applied, wasn't focus in the street again during the process... After applying they pushed me to their other department, where they start graduates as intern with 60k for four months, which if you succeed they make you manager and pay you up the 97k.... This october is the last month, to pay the complete 60k sef na war, and i have not being able to save 30k throughout my stay here and have lost my phone and laptop in the process..... Just so confused right now

When you say "street", are you referring to Yahoo!? Please clarify. Thank you.

Mine was one week, I got employed as a lecturer at one private institution. I negotiated salary directly with the rector/proprietor verbally and he was very unwilling to document it as well as give me appointment letter. He called me to his office days after I've resumed work and was trying to edit our initial agreement, I knew he can't be trusted and therefore I zoomed off.

Lol it is actually a nickname but you sef reason am..
Jobs are not what they used to be. The stress these days is something else.

Time wey I go dey sleep person go dey road say him dey go work. Check salary check transport fare and feeding and other miscellaneous expenses and you'd see that at the end of the month instead of saving one will end up borrowing and hoping to pay back with the following month's salary.

Tueh
yeah that's true bro. It's well brotherly

First one 2days, 2nd one 3days.

The 2days one, was at a fast food. I told the management I have interest in catering but no experience and will work without pay. They gave me kitchen assistant position. On the first day I closed early by giving them excuse but the reason why I left was because I couldn't stand seeing and smelling food I can't eat. The 2nd day, I snuck out without telling anyone cos I was tired.

The 3days one, was a new e-commerce company hired as a telemarketer. The salary was 40k, they refuse to give me employment letter and said I was on 3wks probation and if I meet their expectations they will officially employ me. I couldnt stay cos the job role was vague and I wasn't sure about if they will meet the job agreement.

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.



What was the content..... Share please.. Help the next person who might be going there

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 the 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!

No school owner go make heaven first batch.

I have been believing in my self for years hoping things will change, praying everyday for a breakthrough, like I have seen my cousins make it, start their own business and we are the same age, always moving forward hoping maybe Tomorrow things will be different.
I am a good person, always around to lend an helping hand but sometimes no matter how much you hope, pray, do everything things just dont work, bad things dont always happen to bad people, the same with good things dont always happen to good people.
I have been depressed for months now and the motivation speech is nice and all but the reality comes in and you realise that no matter how much you chant "it's going to be okay" maybe it wont
Anyway I am just going on, thanks for the advice

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.
Tappy Tappy money
