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
OP don't listen to this kind of advice, don't be like Tesla. Be the Edison.

Emotions no go take you anywhere for this life.

No me talk am .

Life is beyond business. You dont have to see everything as a potential transaction
Life is beyond business but this is the reality of life, you can do nothing to change it. You cannot tell me how to run my business because you “think” you were good to me.


If we are to go by your standard, the OP shouldn’t have resigned. Should have remained a good person and spend his/her entire life working for the business owner. Isn’t that what a good person should do? grin
Re: What My Boss Did To Me. by Angrymode: 1:34pm On Jul 29, 2023
OP, your mistake is putting all your hope on your boss regarding your accommodation. Just find a way to move out of their place ASAP to continue your hustle elsewhere. Life goes on and this set back is simply a stepping stone to higher heights. Good luck!

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 .
They are not competing cos it's not the same business and moreover he is not staying for free

I just hope you are not into the corporate job space.
If you're don't ever think doing such is a good ethic, whether it is a competition or not.

The man is not even his boss but the man's wife.

I don't this as he mentioned that the man's is avoiding the landlord of the house used as the teacher's quarters
Re: What My Boss Did To Me. by Ziziguluogixx: 1:42pm On Jul 29, 2023
I can understand you wanted to remain in the quarters because you thought you had served for a long time & deserved the favour, so I’m guessing it’s your first job experience. You thought wrong bro, only very few bosses reward people. For me i quit unannounced, I don’t like the drama especially with a female boss. People will want to criticize my method but also remember that you can be fired or dismissed unceremoniously & replaced at anytime. My former boss keeps singing nobody is indispensable until i left her ass & she couldn’t find a replacement, i kept hearing from former coworkers how she missed me till the business folded. Folks once you’ve had enough of your job move on!

Lol Im not 18, but I experienced thesame senerio
I am from a place where respect, love and compromise overshadow all. I am not from a region where they make everything transactional. A person who works with you seeks self-development and has a few last requests shouldn't be treated that way. My mom experienced the same thing as the OP hence my comment, She was a teacher, served for about 5 years and left when she got a government teaching job. There was a valedictory service for her. About 10 years later, the proprietress's daughter stayed with us for a week when she needed to do her Jamb exams. She was treated with utmost love and respect.
In my own region, everything isnt BUSINESS. Interpersonal relationships overshadows all

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.

Peace

But the way you sound you don't act like someone from Southwest which has the only quality you mentioned above.

I have lived outside Southwest and I can affirm how their attitude was towards the subject matter.

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.
You are trying to be clever by half. You left the company but want to maintain your (subsidized) accomodation in the staff quarters and be running your own laundry business in the premises. Where are you from?

Na you no do well, you should have combined the school work with the laundry work,since you still want to stay in their property until you raise enough money to move out.
Re: What My Boss Did To Me. by denko(m): 2:19pm On Jul 29, 2023
You are resigning from a black man establishment and still expect to use his property for business. You did think well guy go and get a place for yourself outside his property. Resigning means signing of enmity in Nigeria context.

Rule number one, don't rush to quit a job to establish a business you have not started and nutured yet. Starting up is good. But stratigising is the key. You just mentioned you want to be using the place the school gave you for rent at a reasonable price I guess for your business and now you have been pushed out. The man was considerate but guess what this will not go well for the woman as she has used her husband to push you out. Men are considerate but women hell no most especially if it's not going to favour her. I do hope you have alternative place.

And note that the moment you stopped working with a private enterprise, every benefits cuts off immediately. The next person to be employed could make use of that place.

You could have started there, get a shop, sort those things little by little. Especially your accommodation. So don't blame the boss.

As for not being celebrated, forget about that. It's not a must. Just THANK God you are out of there.

Evil minded soul,thats who you are is there anything wrong in them rewarding her labour of love over the years with support for her business by allowing her stay till December.Entitlement mentality break your big head there
Yes, that's entitlement mentality.

If he quit working for them, he must move out. The business owner would need the place for her replacement. Next time make sure everything is set before resigning.

As long as you're being paid for services you render to an organization, your argument of labouring and toiling day and night wouldn't hold any water.

That's why staffs are expected to request for a salary review once they begin to feel that the salary they're being paid doesn't match the their contributions to the organization.

That said, you resigned from work and still expect to retain the official accommodation, that's very wrong of you. You're leaving them, this means that whoever would be employed to take over your duties would definitely need that room.

You should have planned this out before resigning. You should have opened the dry-cleaning center in that room whilst still doing your teaching job, in the evenings you wash and iron clothes for customers, in the mornings you go to school. It would have been better that way.

Next time seek counsel before taking any decision, so that you won't live to regret it.
I personally want to thank you for this Advice.

Thanks a lot.

I am from SW, Osun state precisely. lived most of my life in Ibadan, Ikirun, Lagos and Iwo.
I mentioned the other region because I had a very bad experience with someone from other region. He had 4 original chargers which he took from our other friends, he wasnt using any of them, he was a friend. My charger spoilt and he was offering to sell. I remainded him, about how he got the chargers and we are friends. I thought he was joking till he insisted he's going to sell one for me at 4k!
I am still in disbelieve up till now.
