I have been working in this company for about 8 years now and to be frank, I don't see any much improvement both financially and otherwise.

In addition to that, I noticed some degree of negligence and disregard for old staff, it seems the more years you spend in the company, the less value you accrue. However, I attribute that to the administrative incompetence of the Director who took over from the mum before she( the mum) finally joined her ancestors.

Recall that in April this year, she fired the General manager without any explanation to the rest of the staff, no staff meeting nor briefing. Shortly after that, she reshuffled the managerial team and employed 3 unknown persons who were never part of the company to take over the Management of the company, while she still remains the Director.

All these she did without any form of recourse to her old staff. I never bothered as an old staff until recently, when we started noticing some more incompetency in administration and management of the company. It rose to the extent that workers receive half salary sometimes without any briefing, allowances are not being paid and when they pay, they short pay us.

I couldn't hold it any longer as a man of justice and as such, I wrote to the Director after having meeting with the new GM. In my letter I expressed on behalf of other workers, the feelings of maltreatment and administrative Injustice, as most of them are afraid of opening up, to avoid being sacked.

Then after, the Director herself called for a general meeting and instead of to apologise for all these financial and managerial malfeaseances, she chose to tackle the old workers particularly myself, thinking that we were working against her. I still stood my ground on the path of Justice, finally she tried to pacify the workers by promising a salary increase, based on the number of years spent in the company. But then, I have been on her watchlist all through.

Any little mistake I make, she would capitalize on that to weigh me down. I now seek ur opinions, whether to continue in the company or resign. Good a thing, I have a business that even pay me better than the job.

Your opinions please.

As long as you're not gaining anything from the job then why are u still there
But one thing I advise ppl is dat they shouldn't resign from a job with fight
e get why

Pencil portrait

I'm waiting for elders

I can't work under anybody except government. If a job isn't making your life better financially,why stay there?
I worked with a company that told us we shall make it there. But i looked at the manager who has been with the company since inception drinking kunu and jumping on keke to go home from work like us. Immediately, i counted my teeth with my tongue and left immediately. Now, I'm doing FAR FAR better than those still slaving there.

If a company brings their motivational talks of where you wish to see the company in 20yrs, also ask them where they wish to see you with the company in 20yrs. I once asked that question in a staff meeting and they all kept quiet.

The last sentence summarizes it all. Channel your time and energy to your business and double the figures

Thanks for the advice

I resigned from a similar working environment like yours. I made sure other colleagues in my shoes where duely promoted by the company after many years of promise and fail promotion tactics they use in enslaving workers. I tendered my resignation letter, but was promised a salary upgrade, but I declined cause I know the management will want to set traps for me. I was already fed up with the management cos most senior staff monthly overtime payment is enough to pay 4 to 5 of we the junior workers full salaries. It was a case of "monkey dey work, baboon dey chop"
My one kobo advice, resign and face your business.

Let me ask one question, just 1!!! During your 8 years did you add value to yourself or improve your CV? If no, you are the problem not your director

Why did you ask question and then concluded in a sarcastic manner? As for the improvement in CV you asked of, the answer is yes. If u must know, I have B.sc and several IT diploma certificates in my field of work. Hope that satisfies ur curiosity.

No be fight now, I was once in your shoes bro, same IT field, but not in degree level (Economics),went to NIIT, did lots of programming courses etc but had to go for MBA later before I can attain mgt position. You may have done all those courses without their knowledge. Companies like when people go to school and add value. Also some positions are reserved for people married because they feel marriage brings responsibility and maturity and so on. So bro nothing personal just observation. Be ready to face stiff opposition when you resign because you will be scrutinized to find loophole for even possible arrest. Pick your fight o, no be only you Sabi talk. Most times mgt laugh last. Be wise bro if you must fight make sure you are clean

Thanks for this advice. Though u were like being unfriendly initially.

Na for another pesin company you wan dey do Aluta Continua and Defender of the downtrodden ?

Just resign and sue them for whatever outstanding allowances you think they haven't paid you, if you think you have a strong case..

You should've slapped him.

WHT should

Op, you are a man of honour. A man of Valor.
Since you have a business paying you more than the Company, dump their sorry ass and focus on your business.
Who knows if this so called Company is hindering the performance of your own Company /Business.
Wish you the Best.

DanieleLorenzo:
Don't resign.

Sabotage them till they beg you to leave.

See devil junior brother here

You're a man with balls of steel. You're myself impersonate. So far I've not been sacked for speaking my humble mind at any level meetings despite threats and all. You see those idiots that are afraid to speak up will eventually be snitching on you because they're satisfied with their condition,and ready to lick ass and boots to stay employed. Don't limit your views for anyone, including a bitching boss.

Kindly go back and slap her join


Nonsense

Don't resign.
Sabotage them till they beg you to leave.

Why are you still working there?

Seriously speaking, I'll advise you weigh your options and look at the cons alongside the pros too.

Some of the rich men children doesn't understand Business Management and they just believe that as long as it involves them being in the position, they are cool with that. I don't see reason why she/he has to slide the old staff. They are the people who knows more about the company administrative, she should have use them to understand how it work.

In present economy of Nigeria, every income is valuable, no matter how little. Just avoid her, apologize if you can and continue to make your money in peace.

SHE IS NOT ENOUGH REASON TO EARN LESS!

HUG YOUR ENEMIES IF NECESSARY, AND OVERCOME POVERTY TOTALLY.

#moregrace

Start looking for another job, or see how you can grow that your business.

I faced similar situation in 2015, when I challenged our general manager, that every staff is afraid of.
The next day, he asked the personnel manager to prepare my sack letter, PM told him, he doesn't know what he will write as my offence.
From there, my collegues started respecting me, but then I know my time with the company is up. I left the company few months after that

You should have been fired immediately! Don't know how it works at Nigerian companies but there should be a chain of command? There's no HR personnel? Even at that, the next command should be your direct supervisor which shouldn't be the director.

Moving on, unless you are confident of finding a better job, it is wiser to not reveal all your cards. Now that you've shown the highest authority your intentions, what would stop them from hiring your replacement, have you trianed that person and then get rid of you? I suggest you refine your CV and start looking for better employment, do this ASAP because like you said you're on her list already, she can do and undo!

YOU HAVE WGO

When things like half salary and no allowances start entering the discussion, And worst part you are not told the reason for such. Just start looking for Job elsewhere, those are red flags.
She doesn't rate you guys for reasons best known to her.
Go and dust your CV, and start adding value to yourself if you haven't.

Just resign...you are dealing with an unreasonable Director.

Last last, she will fire you, why not resign and leave with your ego intact before you got sacked.

A system that does not respect you cannot promote you

My own oga fires competent people and hires incompetent people at will................ Infact this place i am is not where i can grow. it is not a place i want to work. My boss calls me and staffs different names "mad man, stupid" but mans gat to just accept all sha. Even when i no wrong, i gat to accept bcox if u drag too much, he will surcharge you

I am sure the only reason why i have not been fired is because i avail myself for multitask job. I do more than i am being paid for.. I cant quit because i dont want to be jobless........

I just have to keep managing

Weight your options and avoid aluta! If you must ask for your rights, ask for it in a friendly and diplomatic ways and note that henceforth traps will be set for you to fall.

And lastly don't let them fire you, be the first to resign and if you must resign don't leave there with a fight leave diplomatically and in a friendly manner so that you can even come tomorrow and seek for one favor or the other.
My humble opinion!

Why don’t you focus on your own personal business.
