people want you to be better but not better than them ...

That's not really the case here. The guy worked for years and didn't get promoted, but then he thought of helping his friend, and his friend ended up achieving when he couldn't achieve while having the same qualifications.

Of course he has reasons to feel he was treated unfairly.

It depends on your skills. This shows you that you're being underpaid. One thing you could do is apply for new jobs at a higher level. If you succeed, leave the company.

Hello guys~ my best friend and I live together in the same neighborhood.

I introduce him to were I was working at the moment because he was seriously in need of a job...

Though! He had a job he was doing but the money they are paying him is just token, so when he came for an interview today.

He passed the prescription test that was given to him, and he was made the assistant Boss and I have been working there for long without been given dis offer.

Being his first time of working with us he has started giving out policy in which I don't like, he's trying to change the system for us making it unbearable for us to cope. And to crown it all, his salary his x2 higher than mine and we both have same qualification.

So am thinking of going to my Boss to lunch complain maybe to ask him to renew my contract.

What do you all think about my step....

Should I still go on with it?

Don't mind those condemning you for the way you feel. You're human and your feelings are valid. It's natural and doesn't make you evil. However, also consider that your friend didn't plan from the onset to put you in this situation. So, try to handle it with maturity and wisdom. Don't complain to your boss. It's not a very wise move at the moment because it'd be apparent. Things like this usually have a way of resolving themselves.

Noted! It seems u already know what is in my mind. Though! I no jealous ham, but the policy wey e come up with is not fair. I know he intentionally come up with that becuz of me. At least he would have discuss it with me before announcing it generally.

Congratulate him and joke with the rear opportunity he had. Ask jokingly about which soap he used and stuffs, also tell him that 5% of his salary must surely land in your account. Let both of you have a good laugh.
What you've done are;
-You showed how happy and proud you're for bringing someone close to you and having a extremely positive result.
-As for the salary, you agree with him that he's taking far more and you're super cool with it.
-After a little while, confide in him that you need to speak to the management about your pay, hear what he's going to say as a good friend.
NB: please take some time before asking for a raise.
For sure, go demand a raise.

Bro! The thing is kind of complicated... We do make fun of ourselves that if any of us become a boss of any firm d other will be treated unfairly. And from what am seeing it seems he's trying to belittle me.

Am kicking against the policy because it will affect me somehow. he talked about time factor, dressing code and alot which am not please with.

Re: How Do You Feel When Your Friend Becomes Your Boss by frog12: 5:32pm On Sep 20, 2022
hahahahahah
the reason the other guy was kicked out was because of pleasing. your friend wants to please the owners that he knows his work. he is newly hired. to do that he wan act professional. he wants to show them that he will not tolerate lateness to work, and he wants everyone to look professional.
he will discipline you or even drive you out of the company if you violate the policy. no be your company! if e no do am, na him go get sack!

the LESSON here is: you should leave the low-paying guy alone for him old job. don't stir the crocodile water grin grin

Just chill. Do not let that spoil your friendship.

You are colleagues during work hours and best friends after work so whatever happens at work should stay at work.

You should rather be thinking of how to persuade your new assistant boss to put in a good word for you so you will be promoted too.

No go dey hate my padi
This Op attitude makes it practically impossible for friends to assist their guys to get job where they work.
