Be grateful to God for it, no matter what. Some are not even earning anything yet they are alive.

1. Inability to Meet Your Financial Expectations:
Sometimes, salaries fail to meet an individual's financial expectations or desired standard of living.

High living costs, mounting expenses, or unexpected financial burdens can make a salary seem inadequate, leading to disappointment.


2. No Payments Of Salary for Months:
You may feel disheartened when your salaries remain stagnant or unpaid, failing to keep up with inflation

You seems to have increasing responsibilities and unforgettable debt experience when there's no Payments.


3. Wage Stagnation:
Another reason for salary disappointment is the lack of significant salary growth over time.


4. Disparity with Market Rates:
When individuals discover that their salaries fall below industry standards or are significantly lower than what their counterparts in similar roles earn, it can be a source of disappointment and frustration.

There are people who are building an empire with their salary but do you know the truth?

The started somewhere.

Would you like to get started somewhere even if you can still keep your salary job?

All of the above... But the oga kpata kpata of them all is inflation of commodities and deflation of salaries which you didn't include. Cost of everything goes up while salaries remains the same

it's not easy for them. The most annoying part is that as cost of living is increasingly high and unbearable, their salary are not being increased to meet up with the high cost of living in the society/coupled with the new governance.

Let's help share this information to them as there are millions of opportunities online to make cool money remotely. Thanks man.



I don't believe in all this again, If you have good info on line job where I will do task with my laptop. I am savvy in using MS word, excel, Corel draw and AutoCAD

Pls I don't want any online job where I will invest or bet anything. I just need where I will do good job, deliver and get paid.

Thanks

This is the core reason why I hate my salary but I don't blame anyone. I just focus on my improving my competence in the hope of getting a better offer someday.

One of the biggest mistake in my life is starting with a small salary. Straight out of school after completing my ND, I got an offer through the help of my mum from one of the company she is associated with. I didn't really care much about the salary, I am just enthusiast about practising what I learnt in school.

I was very dedicated at my job and I am proud of what I do. I was given bigger responsibilities, assumed tougher roles, trained and mentored new staff, functioned as the team leader but never got promoted to be the boss. (It is a indian company, so if you know, you know). I even complete my HND part time few years ago but it is with so much struggle.

It has been long since I got uncomfortable with earning salary though, I have tried many things to gain financial freedom from home but I have been looking in the wrong place. I tried forex, sport betting, binary, etc but it has all failed me. I wasn't looking for an easy way thought, my job had disconnected with my some people that give me updates.

But I started to dislike my boss, my company, my profession, in fact, salaried jobs entirely when my peers who just finished BSc./HND with no experience got offers that is par with my 9 years of work experience and competence. Some of which I even mentored while they are in school and prepare them for the practical aspect of the job.

What even killed my morale completely is the offer I get from companies I make applications to. I get interviews easily, I am certain that I will be called up for an interview after sending out about 12 CVs for job applications but where I normally got stucked is the salary aspect.

I usually get offers for salary that is about the same with my current salary and that is annoying! It would have been a good salary if I am just starting out with little or no experience but considering my experience and responsibilities demanded from me, and what I'll be bringing to the table, I feel undervalued. (Although, I would have accepted the offer but my current place have the advantage of proximity. I spend so little on transport and I don't have to wake up early like most folks.)

And I like the company because they are working with one of the latest technologies in the industry. They always spend so much on introducing new and better processes and procedures and educating the staffs but so little on their welfare and salaries. They just love to hire cheap labours.

Still, It is annoying because I keep asking myself, Is this what I am worth? If this is what I am worth, I don't want to do this shit anymore. I just feel like just quitting one day, see what the street can offer me with some of my savings. Afterall, I have enough cash to foot my bills effortlessly for one year even if I am not doing anything.

Sometimes, I got demoralised and I stopped applying... while sometimes, I try again when my dumb indian superiors do some stupid things. But I know the day I'd truly be happy is to do my thing. I just hope that it won't be a wishful thinking forever.

I feel your pains but nevertheless be thankful for where you are and pray to God for where you want to be.
Because the job wey you Dey call useless Na wetin another man dey find,even sef he fit settle for less.
Normal Everybody know say no be the money you Dey collect be the problem but the situation of things in the country, So at least just be grateful that you sef get Job.

It's crazy how employers are so cunning towards the growth of their employees

Imagine doing 9-5pm everyday for over 25days in a month... including transportation,feeding and other life expenses and at the end of the month you're either paid 30k-35k[that's even if you have a degree like say ND]

Or you're not being paid

What do you think could happen if you're not being paid salary?

Debt debt debt all the way.
I was so sure you were about to sell something here. grin

That's the reason we should encourage salary earners to get a high income skills that pays them.in dollars on the long run.

Not really long but could take some of them 3-4 months to start earning reasonable amount of money online at least $500-$1000 is not bad for beginners

We can talk more on WhatsApp
please which skill is that??

I have been doing this salary work for the past 10 years now that I have graduated. The salary is not encouraging, initially I started small so that I could gain more experience.

Now, I have the experience but no capitol to establish myself. I prefer to have business of my own from the experience I have gathered so far working with one man business and registered companies.

I have lost interest in salary work, I am just doing it because I don't have a choice.
If I have up to N300,000 I will start my business immediately.
and what business will you start with 300k?
