Never work for a pastor, most are users and have nothing to offer.Don’t be fooled by what they portray outside..
Set clear boundaries in the workplace. Try not to ‘help out’ in certain mundane task… because before you know it, it will become your work.. I mean mundane tasks like helping the ‘oga’ buy food… generally limit how you avail yourself to run errands that are not part of your job description..
People might have different opinions on this particular point but try and keep some work related info to yourself especially for example, you’re in the sales team and are finalizing something with a big client you sourced for yourself… Never lay all your cards on the table, except it is to the oga patapata.. that’s the owner of the company.. not even a manager.. I’ve been in at least two situations where a manager brazzenly claimed credit for my work to the main oga - even claiming he was the one that sourced the client…
LIMIT how you discuss your private life in the workplace… Never discuss your plans/aspirations or whatever with a colleague.. Most often than not.. they are not your friends!!!

A boss who thought the organization was his property. He forced us to come to work Monday through Saturday (sometimes on Sunday), curses during meetings (we had meetings everyday), slept with most of the ladies and would harass any lady who wouldn't yield.

In the same office were snitches and ass lockers who would do anything to curry his favor. Worst is that this was a bank people envied.

How I dealt with the situation was by been myself. At some point, he would say he wanted to hear my opinion because he knew they were likely going to be different from his. I also ensured on my part, I was very meticulous and everything was done well.

At some point when I was at the edge of resigning because I felt the environment wasn't good enough, my dad told me to write to HR anonymously so that if I wasn't treated rightly, we have evidence to sue the bank with at the Federal Industrial Court. The HR head asked who I was and I told him I was going to reveal myself at the right time however, every act of injustice I experienced were documented weekly.

As a team lead, I had am assignment I couldn't finish within the two weeks time frame. I was at work on Saturday of the first week from 7am through 10pm. I dismissed my team members around 6pm and told them not to come on Sunday as I wasn't coming. I sent an email asking for more time. I got to work on Monday to see an email asking me to recall the mail for extension and that I was recalcitrant for not coming on Sunday. If I wouldn't recall the email, I should report to HR on Tuesday morning. He copied all and sundry in the email.

My boss had two people that worked with my team in HR and the former head of HR who were his pally. So usually, sending you to HR is a way to break you down because they most times will give you the soft option of resigning instead of termination. In my case, I called the Head of HR and told him what was going on. He asked me to come on Tuesday and he was going to change my department.

That Monday, my unit head, head of audit for our group, and a few others came to tell me my boss wanted to be friends with me, I should apologize etc. For me, it was the nail on the coffin because should I not finish the assignment by that week which I knew was impossible, I will only have empowered him to have something he can use against me in the future.

I went to HR on Tuesday and was moved to another unit. My boss asked my unit head to find 5 queries so that he could finish me. Unfortunately, the two they found couldn't even be used because rather than apologize as many will do in their response to queries, I will rather explain the situation leaving myself out of the query.

In it all, pray for God's favor always.

They both happened in Lagos, and the jobs were both teaching jobs.

The first one was in a school somewhere in ibejulekki, but I will talk more on the second one because I got paid off without stress in the first one.

The story goes thus, the day after the schools final inter house sports training(heat) was a public holiday and it's normal for workers to stay at home that day.
So, immediately after the training that day I went home(since it's already 5pm and the closing time is 3om normally) while others went back to school before leaving for their various homes.

So, I dressed up as usual and headed to work the next Monday which is the next working day.

Me: Good morning, Mrs Afolabi...
Mrs Afolabi: Good morning, Mr XYZ, why did you miss work last week Friday?

Me: Friday was a public holiday and it was expected workers are to stay at home.
Mrs Afolabi: Turn back and go home, you are under suspension for 2 weeks.

Me: Smiles, suspension ke? As the school owner or someone higher than me in role/qualifications?
Anyway, tell madam that since there is no proper job/roles descriptions in this place that made you to be saying such to me, I won't have any need for the suspension because I have resigned.
Me wey be BSC holder, you wey be either NCE/HND dey follow me yarn non$ense because of job situation in the country.
I told her I will be coming for my salary as at when due.

So, I left the school premise.

Meanwhile, I have already heard a lot of stories about how the woman(school owner) does alongside her secretary.

Fast forward to the day I'm to go and collect my money, I have these street guys I do buy things for once in a while at one bet 9ja shop when I go there to watch highlight or match.
I told them the story, they were like "bro, you have been good to us, it is time for us to be good to you too."

Na so them follow me go o, we got to the street where the school is located, they hanged around at a point to observe what is going on and come to my aid if there is any need for it.

I entered the place, greeted the secretary, told her I came for my last month salary, since I already gave her like 3 weeks.

She said no money, omoh laugh wan finish me.
Next thing, the school owner entered and I greeted her and asked her the same thing, she told me no salary, I was like, I will spend one full month like that and one human will tell me no salary.

I won't accept such thing, next thing her son that just returned from UK, entered and told me to leave.
I ignored him totally. Meanwhile the woman was about going out, so I followed him out of the compound, at least that is safer for me since those guys may not know what is going on inside the compound.

I never knew the woman had the plan to go and call her domestic staff at home to come bundle me inside the car and take me home, where she will order them to mend me before taking me to the station.

As I saw about 6 guys coming, na so I raise my voice, my men wey dey observe saw that and had my back, it turned to a big and serious issue o.

Police were invited and we went to the station, at the station the officer that was supposed to take our statements started taking her side and talking to me anyhow, saying it is because my parents are rich that is why I am misbehaving, that if not I will take whatever they give me.

At a point, I had to beg this woman to end the case because I was already fed up, but she was determined to mess me up.

So, I had no option than to use my connect, I place a call to one AIG I know, who assured me to reach out to him whenever anyone want to cheat me or maltreat me unjustly and I should ensure I am at the right side.

Na so I call the man, he asked me the state, the lcda, the area and the station name.

In few minutes, we were told the dco wants to see us, the dco first threaten me to make it look like nothing happened, he said I should be charged for public disturbance, the woman and her kid should be charged for assault, attempt to kidnap and one other charge like that.

Naso table take turn, the woman and the officer wey been dey jam talk and one unbiased officer come dey beg me sey make I drop the case o.
I said NO, that we are going to court on Monday. Actually, it was initial gragra from my side because na my full payment I need.

At that point, my dad and my uncle called me separately to tell me to drop the case, that they will pay me the money.
I told them I have heard, but I did my mind by insisting on the case after I dropped the calls.

Finally, I was approached again by the neutral officer, who assured me that they will bring my money right away and I will confirm it.

So, I said OK fine by me, the woman was told to give me my money, she called someone and in minutes my money was brought to me in a white envelope, which I counted and confirmed.

I told them I am done with the case and I want it dropped, we ended it.

Omoh, you have to see the way other former workers there wey been don get salaries to collect but don't know how to do that stormed the school the next day to collect their money and YES they were all paid and they were paid in full.

Even those working there, called me to hail me on how I taught the woman a good lesson, I think the woman is notorious for holding on to her workers salaries.

Get the fk out of my mention.

She was a secretary in the primary section but close to the owner, why I was a senior school subject teacher and I never applied with my BSC.
The owner categorically told me that I'm answerable to her directly or I can communicate with the principal when I asked her who I should communicate with if there is any need to communicate with the management, but I know all these happened because it is preplanned.

Don't be silly, I had 4.4 out 5 if it is about academics, I missed out on first class narrowly simply because of my egoistic HOD.
My plan then was to work there and use the salary to run minor or immediate expenses because I was searching for a business premise and I already budgeted the funds I had as at then for my business. So, I don't want to keep withdrawing and spending from the budgeted find.
All these happened at the beginning of COVID-19 period.

She is not better than me, say what you know and take your $melling emotion out of my mention.
From other workers and the students, they will tell you it is not even a competition between us, no basis for that at all.

What's the worst experience you've had at a job?


I got out of one in March, an hotel owned by a former governor managed by one wicked chairman...

He talk down on people anyhow, and fond of saying he's untouchable cos he's a politician and roll with high Caliber. He curses employee even beat up a guy at a point. Well I was praying at some point he'd beat me and I will strike back then take issues up with him, very useless person.

People think we the workers are enjoying like mad since it was owned by a former governor and all form of dignities lodge there.

My employment contract stated different role but I was moved to a different department to work, not quite long, I was moved to another cos one of their old staff angrily resigned cos of the man abuse.

In space of 4-5 months I was moved or will I say yeye promotion thrice, yet salary didn't improve. It got to a point I was the only one working in the store department, doing all the work, a big hotel.

There was a new building extension they were doing that time as well, and I was the one also supervising the store where all materials are kept, I'd be the one receiving and issuing out every bullshits concerning the site.
The site engineer and architect pitied me at some point and protested the company employ an assistant for me yet they kept giving excuses.

All these are totally off the job description I signed.

I lost everything in me, I was a shadow of my self. I started loosing weight that the attraction of people got to me and they started asking me to go for check up.

Haaa ino contact any thing oo I do shout.

I had little sleep, we resume by 7am and closes God knows time and the closing time on the contract stated 5pm. There was a time I got home by 12am and I'd resume by 7am again which I do wake up by ,4 or 5am.

The company do recruit here and there, very useless place. I could remember we were 12 that came in, in my batch, 6 made out just after a week. Hard working old staff, all left but the chairman believe in soldier comes and go, barrack no dey empty. Very intelligent individual has left that place.

The treatment was just so bad, over use of staff and staff shortage. A person can be doing the work of 3 people yet collect salary of just one person.

No good company management, everybody working for the purpose of eye service in courtesy of the so-called chairman.

Co-workers will be shouting on each other, no coordination and no professionalism. Manager will be giving bad report concerning his team members, it got to a point there were party in the company and they were fighting physically and even otherwise.

My mental health moved from bad to worse, I had to tender resignation letter which they rejected, I had to battle it out with them and exit that evil place.

I told them I am done with the case and I want it dropped, we ended it.

Omoh, you have to see the way other former workers there wey been don get salaries to collect but don't know how to do that stormed the school the next day to collect their money and YES they were all paid and they were paid in full.

Even those working there, called me to hail me on how I taught the woman a good lesson, I think the woman is notorious for holding on to her workers salaries.


That is past now.
Heaven helps those who help themselves !!!
If Nigerians would brace up to a little situation like this and act accordingly, this great country could have been the greatest globally but cowardice like FELA used to say is killing us.
Whoever tries it a little would be called unprintable names by my fellow compatriots thinking God will come down to redeem the country despite all the abundant resources on ground

BabaIbo:
They both happened in Lagos, and the jobs were both teaching jobs.

The first one was in a school somewhere in ibejulekki, but I will talk more on the second one because I got paid off without stress in the first one.

The story goes thus, the day after the schools final inter house sports training(heat) was a public holiday and it's normal for workers to stay at home that day.
So, immediately after the training that day I went home(since it's already 5pm and the closing time is 3om normally) while others went back to school before leaving for their various homes.

So, I dressed up as usual and headed to work the next Monday which is the next working day.

Me: Good morning, Mrs Afolabi...
Mrs Afolabi: Good morning, Mr XYZ, why did you miss work last week Friday?

Me: Friday was a public holiday and it was expected workers are to stay at home.
Mrs Afolabi: Turn back and go home, you are under suspension for 2 weeks.

Me: Smiles, suspension ke? As the school owner or someone higher than me in role/qualifications?
Anyway, tell madam that since there is no proper job/roles descriptions in this place that made you to be saying such to me, I won't have any need for the suspension because I have resigned.
Me wey be BSC holder, you wey be either NCE/HND dey follow me yarn non$ense because of job situation in the country.
I told her I will be coming for my salary as at when due.

So, I left the school premise.

Meanwhile, I have already heard a lot of stories about how the woman(school owner) does alongside her secretary.

Fast forward to the day I'm to go and collect my money, I have these street guys I do buy things for once in a while at one bet 9ja shop when I go there to watch highlight or match.
I told them the story, they were like "bro, you have been good to us, it is time for us to be good to you too."

Na so them follow me go o, we got to the street where the school is located, they hanged around at a point to observe what is going on and come to my aid if there is any need for it.

I entered the place, greeted the secretary, told her I came for my last month salary, since I already gave her like 3 weeks.

She said no money, omoh laugh wan finish me.
Next thing, the school owner entered and I greeted her and asked her the same thing, she told me no salary, I was like, I will spend one full month like that and one human will tell me no salary.

I won't accept such thing, next thing her son that just returned from UK, entered and told me to leave.
I ignored him totally. Meanwhile the woman was about going out, so I followed him out of the compound, at least that is safer for me since those guys may not know what is going on inside the compound.

I never knew the woman had the plan to go and call her domestic staff at home to come bundle me inside the car and take me home, where she will order them to mend me before taking me to the station.

As I saw about 6 guys coming, na so I raise my voice, my men wey dey observe saw that and had my back, it turned to a big and serious issue o.

Police were invited and we went to the station, at the station the officer that was supposed to take our statements started taking her side and talking to me anyhow, saying it is because my parents are rich that is why I am misbehaving, that if not I will take whatever they give me.

At a point, I had to beg this woman to end the case because I was already fed up, but she was determined to mess me up.

So, I had no option than to use my connect, I place a call to one AIG I know, who assured me to reach out to him whenever anyone want to cheat me or maltreat me unjustly and I should ensure I am at the right side.

Na so I call the man, he asked me the state, the lcda, the area and the station name.

In few minutes, we were told the dco wants to see us, the dco first threaten me to make it look like nothing happened, he said I should be charged for public disturbance, the woman and her kid should be charged for assault, attempt to kidnap and one other charge like that.

Naso table take turn, the woman and the officer wey been dey jam talk and one unbiased officer come dey beg me sey make I drop the case o.
I said NO, that we are going to court on Monday. Actually, it was initial gragra from my side because na my full payment I need.

At that point, my dad and my uncle called me separately to tell me to drop the case, that they will pay me the money.
I told them I have heard, but I did my mind by insisting on the case after I dropped the calls.

Finally, I was approached again by the neutral officer, who assured me that they will bring my money right away and I will confirm it.

So, I said OK fine by me, the woman was told to give me my money, she called someone and in minutes my money was brought to me in a white envelope, which I counted and confirmed.

I told them I am done with the case and I want it dropped, we ended it.

Omoh, you have to see the way other former workers there wey been don get salaries to collect but don't know how to do that stormed the school the next day to collect their money and YES they were all paid and they were paid in full.
