Well, let me just assume you didn't do anything wrong or have a great work ethic...! I say this because there is no smoke without fire!

This would mean that man HATES you as a person!... This is beyond the job! Na personal issues the man get with you!


This is a whole new level of unprofessionalism and workplace toxicity! You shouldn't have endured or stayed that long no matter the economy!

Privileged Black people and Asians are the worst abusers of human labour!

I would have killed him just 2 days after resumption. I have zero tolerance for bullcrap from anyone.

I wonder why u remained so long in such abusive job. 9 months haha!!
U should have walked out of such job after a month. What nonsense. You allowed urself to be used and abused by That demonic boss.

That boss should thank his star he didn't try that with me. I will resign and ambush him after three months to give him d scar he would never forget in his life

Na when the man break your head with glass na that time you suppose change am for the man but anyways forget that money and move on.

I saw a post on this forum which looks similar to mine and that inspired me into writing this to share with people how my boss (former) was abusing me.

I graduated from one of the courses in social science in one of the federal universities and have been job hunting to land a good job but to no avail.

Bills were piling up while I was going down economically. Out of hunger, lack and frustration, I settled to work as a barman in a hotel.

A week after resuming that work, the man that the hotel is leased out to started showing me his true colours. Nobody is above mistake in life. Even minor things that could have been settled without raising eyebrows, he would shout at me and abuse me right in front of customers. He would use derogatory words to describe me and say all sort of inhumane things to me, all to show that he's the boss.

Despite all that, I couldn't leave because I had no other job option at hand. For the 9 months I have worked in the place, these are the things I went through.

1. I have been verbally and physically abused by the said man. There is no kind of derogatory and inhumane word that man has not used on me and most times, right in the presence of customers and also when in the presence of the girls he brings to sleep with.

Note: this is how he behaves with all the staff, not only me.

2. He kicked me, slapped me, knocked my head, spat on me, yelled at me. Calling me a fool, an idiot, useless something etc, was no longer anything worrisome to me again because I got used to it.

3. Because of all these abuses, his friends who use to come there took advantage and started abusing me too. One slapped me the other day because I presented a bill he thought I surcharged him, which we later found out I didnt. I don't blame him actually.

4. You would work 2 months plus before you receive 1 month salary. For example, you would receive January salary between 10-15th of March.

5. Salary was N25,000 but I have never received that amount complete. He always look for something accuse me of in order to deduct our so called salary and pay less. There was a month I received N7000 as my salary.

6. Any customer that breaks a glass pays N1000 for it. When he first mentioned this in a meeting, we thought he was joking, but he was being serious. When he started deducting my salary for broken glasses, then I realized he was serious. I have never heard anything of such anywhere before. That a customer who breaks glass should pay N1000 for it.

What happened on the 23rd of May.
23rd of May was his birthday. He invited friends and celebrated. Right in his presence, one of the guests broke a glass. I'm the only one serving both the bar and guests in the room including food. So it was a very busy time for me. Just because I didn't sweep the broken glass immediately because I was busy serving people, as I wanted to pass, he shouted angrily at me, aimed me with the broken glass and broke my head. I was bleeding and I left the place to a pharmacy to treat the wound. Guess what? He was not even remorseful about it at all.

The following day I tendered a resignation letter with immediate effect. Obviously if I don't leave the place, the man may kill me or make me do something I will later regret.

Now pay me off, he's telling me I need to work again at least another one month for him to find a replacement, if I'm serious about receiving my outstanding salary or I should forget about it. Even at that, I know too well that he will pay me anything he likes, claiming glasses were broken, I did this and I did that. Presently he's looking for job seekers but nobody wants to work with such a crude person anymore. Even someone he sacked as usual over two months ago, he's not been able to replace till today.

Now I'm jobless, hungry and penniless.

I need advice on how to go about to collect my money from this man. I don't have strength for any fight with him. I just need my hard earned money but let it not be until another blood is spilled.

Your story is quite pitiful.

That devil's parking job should be the least of jobs on anyone's list. Why not sell gala and softdrink instead, you'll surely make a good return for yourself since you can afford to go that low to survive!

If you are in Lagos and you have all your documents complete send me a mail.

You must be a Yoruba boy from all these, coz I don’t know any other tribe that can tolerate such treatment and not turn the matter to Fury vs Wilder
Igbo, Hausa, Edo, Warri and other tribes for don change am for the man

I think he's just taking that to ride on me.

Anyone will ride on a man like you. A woman would have done worse. The moment he broke your head with a bottle you would have known the man is after your life and dealt with him there immediately. Him sef fear for catch to try am with another person. You too weak for a man bro.
That's all I can say.

Report him to the police.
That's an assault.

If you don't report him, you are indirectly encouraging such atrocities

Are you in Lagos ?if yes there authorities you can report to ,did you go to the police station ?that’s the problem of we Nigerian we don’t stand for our right ,remember when I also worked as a bar man over 20 years ago my boss was accusing me something and I was defending myself he told me not to argue with him that he will slap me I told him straight he can’t slap me,he want die I go give am 10 straight back

Na so kuti talk…


Until he see himself for kirikiri!

Oga rest. Na the same mentality op get weh make am Deh tolerate treatment weh even horse no fit receive.

Well these are your options:

Approach the National Industrial Court and claim not just your last salary, but all the deductions he has been making. The Law works in Nigeria. Don't be shy to claim your rights;

Approach the police to have it on record that you were assaulted;

Approach the Magistrate Court to claim damages for battery and assault. If you can't afford a lawyer, find the district court rules of the state you are in and read it to understand how to go about your case.

Please try the law.

I would say get a lawyer. If you're in Lagos, go to the Ocfice of the Public Defender.

Sue him for like 2m.

Lol…

Op try learn a skill, work on your self esteem issues. How can someone be kicking and spitting on you In the name of job? You tolerated your ex boss too long.

But it’s a good thing you moved on!

Imagine!

For a job he will not even be paid his complete salary at the end of the month.

What should I do to this man?

2019 I was in your position

Not until they accused me wrongly

I was working as a porter. / messenger then I had just 1 degree so I was managing


After they accused me wrongly even when they know I did not resale any room

Imagine what business does a potter has with selling room

Omo the man said he won’t pay me for the month he insulted me and my parents

Sad he (manager ) was my age mate

I left the job cried under rain
Cus I was hopeless I had no money
My rent was due

The rich man still refused to pay my 15k salary

That day I went home parked out of my hus took my load to my grand ma hus

From that day my story changed
I really don’t know how
How it happened

I m doing so well now
I own two house building my 3rd in two different cities

I purposely went to the hotel to lodge parked my car outside
The man see me shock


Don’t give up

Why you no carry expensive drink before you tendered resignation ?
