Hmm... This brought tears to my eyes.

If its possible, I'll say don't go there again. In fact I don't know... Wish there's something that can be done so you don't go back there but... Hopefully help comes your way. You shouldn't put your life at risk like that.

May God protect you in the mean time.

Your life is worth more than this job... Please look for another job... Your employers won't even bury you if you die, your family will be the one to suffer the loss..

Let me start by saying security job is not my dream job but while I'm very hopeful of getting that dream job someday soon, body and soul need to be put together. An unemployed person with penniless pocket will certainly understand my predicament. The only option is to grab anything provided it can take of your very essential needs. Worse is when you wake up with no food to eat or not even soap to bath with, then you'd realize doing anything is sure better than nothing.

So I got this security job which I resumed yesterday. Could you believe that same yesterday, armed robbers operated in the area. As you know, security or what people call gateman is the one the armed robbers target first when they come to a place.

It was around 3:am when everywhere was quiet, As the security, I did a patrol around the compound when I noticed suspicious noise in the next compound. Before I know, I heard people shouting over there. I stayed back. In less than no time, I saw about 5 people coming straight to my compound. They pointed torch inside. I didn't bother to ask who they were cos I already knew. My people, I didn't even know when I commot for gear run to the backyard of the house, jumped over to the other side which is a bush, breathing like who just escaped death. Unfortunately, I sustained injury while running in the bush. Since the gate of the compound is not high, they jumped over it and gained entry into the compound, but thankfully they couldn't gain access to the house due to burglary after a long while of triaI. Unfortunately for me again, I slept in the bush till this morning.

Now, I learnt robbers operate in the area often. This has further put fear in me. I wouldn't want to be a victim of robbery circumstance because of a job whose salary cannot even meet one's needs.

So I am confused now. Even with the injury, should I go back to the place or not? Presently I don't have anything else doing and I don't have money to sustain myself either. Please what would you advise me?

Note: this happened somewhere in Delta state. I don't want to disclose the location for security reasons.
I dunno why I am finding this funny 😄

Don't ever go back to that work.

Security is the worse work anyone can do, I repeat security worse work I know.

I did one in Abuja, Rita Lori hotel, when I was very broke. As I collected my salary after month I didn't go back there again

What you need is some kind of little crowd funding to raise something for you to startup and leave that security job for those meant for it (those with the training and equip).
If 20 or 30 people can gather give 5k to you, may be that can start up something for you.

Re: My Ugly Experience On My First Day At Work. by Anonymoususher: 12:21pm On Mar 24, 2023
Omo since its a robbery prone area better quit the job but first tender a resignation letter.

Reason I said u shud tender a resignation letter is because I want u to go there and let them see u before they start hatching evil thoughts that you were with the robbers that's why you fled and didn't return for fear of being lynched.

So go back there, tell your ordeal, register your fears and leave jeje with a clean name

Thank you very much.

3 things I picked from your post.

First day on the job and there was robbery...you should give thanksgiving to whatever you worship that you weren’t accused of masterminding it.

You were employed as a security guard but when it was time to earn your money however small it is, you failed...infact you ran and jump multiple fences....

Despite the emergency situation and how critical it was, you relaxed inside the bush and slept off till morning!! You weren’t even bothered about being bitten by a snake or being swallowed whole by some of those big pythons in the niger delta bushes...

You slept and snooozed. Bro you get mind to ask if you should go back to the job.

It's just life, there must be people who chose not to do this and that in this world.

Like I always tell people, whatever gives you joy, continue applying yourself to it but remember there are always factors that will either affect, influence whichever choice you decide on..
Not all thieves are caught (many of them dey positions of power for our kon3)

TMI already.

How many people in Delta State employed a guard recently and robbers attacked them on the guard's very first day at work?

Especially when said guard disappeared?

Dude, thank God those people were not attacked, because if they were, given the circumstances, guess who would've been the first suspect?
