You were being paid for your services.

Who still gives a fvck about birthday wish these days?

If you had brought this post in here before now, I'd have implore you work till December then resign (that way you'd have saved up to rent a space for your laundry business).

Don't always attach emotions to factual things. Nobody really care about your emotions. You need to work on that aspect.

Wish you the very best as you faceoff with reality.

Bless up.

I worked in a school for four years and I decided to resign to establish my own business, a laundry business to be precise.

Immediately I gave my boss a month's notice, she turned me into her enemy immediately, and she became so bitter towards me.

The school is run by husband and wife and I discussed with d husband who is the director that I still wish to maintain the room in the staff quarter till December that the house rent should be deducted from my last salary because our rent is being deducted every month from our salary.

The director agreed, wished me well and even advised me further on other things.

My last day at work was Wednesday and happened to be my birthday, this woman never wished me a happy birthday but instead a full manifestation of bitterness that was open to all to see. I made sure I fulfilled her requests but I cried cos I felt let down and betrayed... I joined the school when the college was only jss1 and 2 and now with d help of God and my hard work and those of others, the school has developed and grown to ss3

I'm into teaching aspect and also extracurricular activities that I do teach the students and won many things for the school regarding that.

I left unceremoniously and I felt so sad and betrayed...

Yesterday the director messaged me I'll have to vacate the room I'm occupying and this house is where I'm doing laundry, I planned to be there till Dec and then move away when I start making some money from my laundry.

How can humans be so inhuman and ungrateful?

I have nothing to say to them, I put everything in God's hand.
Bruh! Find your way. The heart of a woman is filled with wickedness and you just met one. People are good to you just on what they gain from you. Move on

How can you resigned from work and still use your former employer's facility for a hustle they don't benefit from?
Before he took that decision he must have established a close relationship with them apart from work, he was with them when the school was still small nd he helped built it so he was hoping at least they will be nice enough to allow him stay even if it's not permanent and do his business.
The problem here is dy wife,she was bitter that he is leaving and she succeeded in spoling her husband's mind.

You are steupiddd and not humane, that is not how a proper human being should behave. love, respect and compromise is part of life, if you work for someone for 4 years, you deserve better as you are part of the growth of that entity. You have a dark mind and only God can safe you from rotten away.

Brother Bernard, what were you expecting?


Nigerians have too much entitlement mentality. They paid you for your services. You terminated your services and still expect the benefits to remain? What if they need the room for their new employee?

The moment you resigned, you should have moved out within the next days and find your root.


Happy birthday or not, it will not stop you from seeing next year and achieving your goals. Pack out of that room and face reality.

I've been following the comments...

I didn't just decide that I want to stay in the house.
The director never wanted to renew the house rent in January because he said he doesn't want to have anything to do with the landlady due to the issue they had. But I told him that's where I want, he renewed the rent cos of me and that was the reason I told him to remove the rent till Dec when d current rent will expire then I'll continue d payment myself to d landlady.

But im sure he had a change of plan cos of my exit to spite me. I'm not deterred by this cos I know I've faced more challenges in life and I'll surely overcome.

I am not having entitled mentality but in this school, I took up to 6 subjects and I can confidently say there's no subject I've never taken b4 in the school. While doing this work with so much stress, I forgot to take care of my health and it really toiled on my health that I have an issue with my heart, I've been in and out of hospital for 1 and a half years. Spending and borrowing more money to spend on my health. Do u know this woman never cared about it? That's where d bitterness started from since I couldn't perform like Jackie like I used to do before and this is due to my health.

I discussed d issue of allowing me to stay till ending of the year cos the husband has been reasonable and understanding unlike his wife, I thought he will agree out of goodwill and be considerate due to my contribution to d development of the school. He agreed but im surprised when he changed tune suddenly.

As I said in d main thread, I leave them to God.

If they emply other teacher in your replacement, where do you expect him or her to stay? It's normal for you to leave their teachers quarters.

You are book savy but you need to think with your full brain in action because making good decision isn't by book alone.

Those illiterate are successful too because they make good decisions
Re: What My Boss Did To Me. by SeriouslySense(m): 1:14pm On Jul 29, 2023
So sorry to hear this, well calm down and dont worry anymore. smile, rest and focus all your energy on moving forward, i wish i could have helped you pack your loads, to lessen your stress.

And i wish you success in your new Journey.

Lesson to all: never rely completely on anyone.

The Op just wrote to tarnish the image of his Boss, where was he expecting his replacement to lodge?

Business don run with emotion

He didn't even see anything wrong running a laundry service in his former employer's facility .

You did not put everything in God's hand, if you had done, you would not bring it to public space.

I understand how you feel, but just know that you are going to higher place and you are just gathering stories up. All is going to be well. Forget about what they did, don't react accordingly but embrace them and wish them well. That is life

Mr. Man, you should have prepared for every unforeseen circumstance before handing in your resignation letter. You're lucky they didnt hold back your salary. This experience should make you wiser.

I have a dark mind actually. No doubt about that. But let’s not rule out the fact that what the OP did was an “Error” in business ethics.


If the expectation of the OP came to life, there will be no churches, no mosque, there will be no Nairaland to create topics like this. This comment of mine and yours will not exist. Everyone will be happy.

But this is reality my friend. If the OP’s employer was to narrate their own side of the story, you will wonder and your brain will go into another Error.

Nigerians have too much entitlement mentality. They paid you for your services. You terminated your services and still expect the benefits to remain? What if they need the room for their new employee?

You are an honest person on this issue.

You said it how it should be.

The moment you resign automatically you loss the said room you occupied.

So when new staff comes, where do you expect him/her to reside?

You are paid for the service you render during your stay with the school and as such you own them your best of ability to build the school and nothing more.

Kindly stop this your entitlement mentality as it might affect you going further.

Peace

…..just to add that this man is also running a laundry business inside the accommodation that was given to him.

I wonder how he pays the electricity and water bills. I hope he didn’t craftily shift that responsibility to his employers.

Mister man should vacate the property. Why would they give him till December??
Re: What My Boss Did To Me. by SeriouslySense(m): 1:21pm On Jul 29, 2023
And another lesson, don't involve others in controlling important circumstances.

Circumstances like your accommodation, should not be tied to former colleagues, you should have sole responsibility for this.

Anyway, you can move on and pull yourself together. All the best.

Now I understand that the rentage isn't even a school facility.

But stop playing emotional, it won't take your anywhere.

Emotional made you depend on your former employer's grant without a backup plan.

I still think you're in the wrong here. The proprietorship pays the rentage, not the husband. You should have known Better.

Where do you wear your brain? You ddn't plan well naa. You should have moved out even before resigning. Now you have put yourself in their mercy. You need some sort of diplomacy and begging to do. You may start with the husband. Employer's property is employer's property.

No odds feeling towards you bro but from your comment, I assumed you are below 18 honestly speaking.

Cause no adults will ever said what you just did.

When you work in an establishment and you are been paid your wages without been own a Kobo, certainly the organization own you nothing.

They are established for profits making and not a charity organization.

If they allow him stay for the exact period mentioned, is the school not going to employe new teacher? If they do, where do you expect him to stay? If someone has resigned before and still retain his room, will he have been able to be housed ?

When you grow up, you will understand The op has said nothing but the truth.
