Two of my friends (who worked with different companies) resigned from their work recently, not because of their salaries but their claim was a bad boss and toxic environment.

My question is that which one should come first salary or the environment?

I had to work from Monday to Saturday even Sunday if need be without any allowance or bonus. And also work late many times 8am to 5pm official but I had to do extra hour(s) if necessary
I stay in ikorodu will wake up as early as 4, leave home before 5 to agbara lusada and must resume before 8am otherwise it's gonna be a query. I have to do all the civil engineering job a available with a payment of 90k. No job security, no pension, no gratuity package no insurance and not even PPE. I sack myself from the hand of those Indian people. Inside there is a modern day slavery I was even told that I was one of the highest paid black working there, while them would be inside an A/C fitted office with light 24/7.
Me I cannot come and die ontop oyinbo work.

Toxic environment where everybody was basically doing eye service to be in the good books of the boss who liked gossip& praise singers and feels the need to intimidate you especially if you're more educated than he is. Stood up to his constant mental& psychological abuses& walked away. He never expected it. Though i lost other job opportunities that came my way while working there, I've no regrets sacking myself before he did.. The thing pain am die!.

Was stressful. Had to wake up by 4am just to beat Ojuelegbe traffic to mile2 from mile2, again to Apapa (tincan). Get back home by 10pm. For six days in a week just for 70k per month.

Brother, yours is better. I want to leave my present job due to very toxic treatment from my boss, and a very bad salary. But I can't because I don't want to stay idle.

Imagine working as a security guard with a 25K salary. Atimes, the salary comes on the 15th. I pray God be with us all.

I was fresh from pharmacy school, got a job immediately, 12-8pm from Monday to Saturday for 40k monthly. I stopped after a month because I wasn't used to it, I almost broke down, not physically but mentally, I couldn't live my usual social life, my boss never agrees to a day off, not even for seminars, no watching of football, just engrossed in work, then I understood what adults go through in their lives, it's not easy. May God butter the bread of all hustlers, as a young man in Nigeria now, it seems one cannot make it big without having rich parents or doing yahoo. God help us all.

My brother, it's so sad. My younger sister and I are having serious issues over this yahoo stuff. She wants me to do it and I refused. She's been keeping malice with me for 2 years.

I value my peace of mind. That's why I stay away from illegal deals.

18k salary for Sunday to Sunday job 24hrs too for that matter without rest except on off days which is just one day in a week, yet owner still says rubbish almost everyday like he is god. In this present economy with such amount but to him he feels he's doing the workers a favour.

Bad toxic environment! My former boss took a toll on my mental health, nothing I ever did (work-wise) was ever good to this man. Man, I suffered under that man. The bad aspect of it is that, because he was the boss, my colleagues supported him and even went as far as mocking me sometimes. It was such a terrible period for me and one I will never forget.
