My dear, you dnt need to panic or moving Ur self into any emotional trauma coz nothing has actually happened.
May be fate and nature has decided to relocate you out of that your comfort zone.
No sane person brings family interference into business ok.
You will survive it...bigger you is on the way.
Be strong ok... it's a matter of time.
You'll definitely have a better story to tell at the end

Anger is bad. No matter what happened have self control. See you now. You said similar thing happened before. Oh boy you are hot tempered. Work on your temper first, before seeking for a new job. Otherwise the same spirit will still follow you.

If you are as good as you say... give private lessons.... cheap price... parents will send their kids... especially when they realize your replacement is not as good. If you get employed at another school.... lure the kids away to the new school .... the best way to get back is let him feel it financially.

Chemical Engineering teaching in a shanty school, cant you even teach chemistry in at a good private secondayr school/

You need to relocate from that your area ASAP, even soap makers in my street make it big, BTW they didnt study chemistry.

The essence of going to a university is to help your thinking not to memorize facts which will become obsolete.

Ergo my soap making friends who never studied chemistry but make liquid soaps and tile cleaners. grin

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.



With the level of your experience and educational qualification,you deserve something better than what you were getting..If you can come to Port harcourt and find a place to stay,even very small schools can pay you double of what you were receiving.plus some will even give you feeding and acommodation.you need to leave that environment and go somewhere better

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.
. What sort of useless school is that one that they run like a family square gossip center?
And you call that rubbish employment? You are sad that you were fired from a shitty village witches establishment?
Gird up your loins and go get something better to do with your life.

Follow these easy steps :
1. Read Nairaland posts. They contain enough humor to keep you going.
2. Get your mental health straight. You don’t need to be pitied.
3. Dust and upgrade your CV. It’s time to launch out seeking jobs.
4. If you believe in God, and I hope you do, pray and trust Him for a better job.
5. Remember that if one door fires not close, another will not open.
6. Believe in yourself and you’ll succeed.
7. Eat. You’ll need the energy.

I am glad you realize your shortcomings. Most of us have such and I sincerely hope you can turn this to a blessing in disguise.

Don’t make the mistake of joining here to lampoon your former employer. Users here may have their reservations and judgment concerning the situation that led to your exit… but really anyone who can truly assist here will be looking out for a person who has learnt from the mistakes and who regardless of how little you may be paid; has gone above petty talks and is now an improved person from the situation. Even clarifying and further defending your former employer, when others here castigated them; would make you very attractive to potential employers.

Now, in most organizations, even bigger ones; such an encounter with a family of the owner would have similar outcome resulting in you leaving. In several big schools, if you have such an interaction with a parent of the student; it may also spell your end of employment.

Even if Bishop Oyedepo son steps on the toe of the VC of covenant university, the VC would be diplomatic in his response. If the VC had reacted as you had perhaps reacted; the VC would likely also have the same outcome as you have had. In public universities, if you have such an exchange with a principal officer, they may be interested in your stagnancy. The situation would have similar outcome in most places. The point is, the size of the school don’t matter.

At your work-place, you must take note not to allow yourself to be provoked. Your future employer can be less than 20 years or your future may be in her 20s; it is professionalism that you must be able to show that won’t be an issue for you. It seems that you were really offended that the girl that confronted you was younger than you. This may help you gather sympathy to your situation, but people that are capable of helping or a future potential employer may see it as a red flag. You don’t want to come across as a teacher who was not dedicated; perhaps a school had considered inviting you, but there were some bits where you had damaged your own teaching experience or reputation. You should never imply that teaching is a bad job if that’s your only experience.

I believe if you incorporate some of what I have said and align your thoughts to the bigger picture; it will all be to the good.

All the best.

It's a way that God wants use to open door for you. Just relax, in every situation you find yourself give him glory. Shame to your boss that allows his parents and siblings to mingle with his business. My wife doesn't have anything to do with my businesses talk of my parents or siblings. Sit up!

People with small stature face a whole lot of disrespect from people of all class, those in your age range will be seeing you as a younger person to them while those you're older than will be seeing you as peers and some even see you as younger given their big stature.
In all sincerity , I face same thing you do, just that in my own case, I tolerate no nonsense from nobody , even if you be President of Nigeria, that's why I learnt to create my own job, right now as a graduate of microbiology with no good job out there my sister, I'm a laundry service provider, and a crypto trader, when crypto is crashing ,I go back to laundry, one way, life must continue and no human born of woman should put anyone's life on hold, learn to think outside of the box if working for someone isnt working for you.By the way, I'm also married with two kids also.......

I pray God in his infinite mercies, shines his light in your path and grant you peace ....

Shalom...

You don't love yourself that is why you are feeling depressed. From what you explained it is very clear that you can't get justice. But you should be proud of yourself for standing for your right �.

You should work on your self esteem and learn to love yourself first and foremost. You shouldn't wait for people endorsement to be happy.

As per the job, are you wired to only work for someone? Eleven years after graduation, what you should do now is channel all your talents, wisdom and thinking towards working for yourself. Please try to starts something even if it's POS business.

Pray to God and shame the devil by starting something on your own even if it's daycare, kindergarten lesson, POS, dry cleaning frying akara. Please start something on your own. It may not be easy but please start something on your own.

Always hold your temper no matter what. Have you been in a situation where you only one chance to live? see every opportunity you get like that. Do you knw why orphans don't react when people look down at them, bcus the don't have anybody else where. See every opportunity like that. Why do you think the most loyal ladies are poor widows, bcus no alternative else where for survival, their kids will greet you by bending down same goes with the mum why bcus they don't have anything. So my sister my advice is that keep cool, don't say bcus u have a hubby so he will provide. Imagine chemical engineering for 11 years. Dis life no balance. My way de house for 5 years I wanted to die. Thank God my story has changed. I wish you all the best in you career

Good riddance. You should be very happy you have been set free from the shackles of slavery and you are worrying over nothing. 15k? What exactly can that do? How do you even manage? Just one trip to the hair salon and that money is finished.

Please, don't despair. If you can get a skill/skills, please, start doing that now. I was in your shoes last year, even though I was not earning as meagre as what you earn, I had several burnouts and just got lackadaisical, so I had to quit. You won't die. I hope your husband is being supportive in this trying time?

Be patient and garner skills of interest and in due time, you'll be smiling. There's always light at the end of the tunnel. That being said, you need to learn emotional intelligence and anger management. It will help you in consequent dealings with customers and people generally.

Just learn to calm down and you will be fine

No matter how humble you are, you must as a matter of fact, learn how to control your anger, Wether you like it or not

I repeat, go and learn anger management

Use this opportunity to talk to God, he is preparing another job for you

But you must learn how to swallow words thrown to you especially from your place of work and especially where it is family business
