Are your employers Yoruba? Cos they will take away all your joy & berserk u around. They are sometime joy killer. U can't win them my brother, & nothing pleases them even though u gave out one of your kidneys. Better be looking for job elsewhere. Though, no bed of roses in this country again.
Not Yoruba. But we both come from the Same state

He sees you as a pillar in his school. Be innovative to start initiating some ways you can make money from him or his school. Save and plan on establishing yourself if you’re in edu line
I'm in Edu line

What does your contract states? 9am-5pm or unlimited work hrs. Start by not picking his calls after closing time, he would get the message. I worked in such school and he called around 9:00pm, I didn't pick, she got the message immediately. Learn to draw the line. Start now and while you are at it, start your own business.
7:20 to 3:40pm

This man will call me at 11pm in the night and 5:00Am very early in the morning. We see everyday since I work for everyday and I feel whatever he has to tell me can always wait till we meet one on one. But he will never wait, he would rather call me at odd hours.

At your age, you cannot stand up for yourself. What I see here is that you are a people pleaser, and most often than not people like you get used to pieces.

You need to grow up some balls and be a rebel. Start by doi this today or tomorrow, if he calls you by 23:00pm, don't pick and if he calls you by 5:00am don't pick and if he asked you why you didn't return his call, man up, look into his eyes, 👀 eye balls to eye ball and state it politely that your contract states that 7:20am-3:40pm.

I'm looking forward to a day your comment can ever make a complete sense on this platform. What do u mean by "Na my type go kill people Business" Did u read where I said I won Best Teacher of the year for last session?
He also asked you to "Getat" in your other Blood Oath thread. Just ignore him. I think he's deliberately trying to get on your nerves. Cos the more you respond to him, the more overbearing he becomes.

I hope you've finally sorted the issue on the aforementioned thread?

if this is how you go about abusing people, then it explains why you are earning minimum wage. By the way, I could have helped you out of poverty, but you've just made me change my mind.

So you have a job but beg online. What about those that do not have jobs, yet are too proud to beg?

The suffering in the land is too much. The inflation is extreme. If there's anybody who can assist me with three thousands to buy food items and cook, I'll be grateful. Thanks

My Brother, the trend is worrisome. I made a simple post and some had to insult me for no just reason. The kids on Nairaland are becoming too many now. The inventors of this platform must quickly do something about this. Let's have an Option to Block some of these kids pls
Bros, why you dey gawk?

One thing I have learnt in life moving on without looking back.

Oga,resign from that job and look for another job elsewhere.
The man is just using you like a tissue.
Forget the accolades,all these are some sort of poisoned chalice to hang onto you.
That's why I prefer part time.
As a maths teacher you have a huge potential to be a part time teacher,but you aren't exploring that option.
Most school owners are just there to milk you to the point of thinking you're doing well.

Just take the bold hard decision and move on.

God will help you to own a school or business that you will employ people one day and you will then understand your boss.
If you all as workers treats the parents who is your customer bad here, the school will fold and you go to another school while your boss will loose his investment.
If you feel you are not treated well, you have the option to quit.

I think that's what I should do. Each time he calls, my Blood pressure will just rise even before I pick the call. I've lost my peace already. As far as teaching is concerned, I have lots of experience. And can easily get another teaching offer if I quit this.
My brother I've just quit mine last week based on similar situation with you so my boss pleaded with me to stay behind and teach the new manager for two weeks. Any job wei no go give me joy I'll stay away from it because I can't allow any family to kill me because I dey find wetin I go chop.

Opanka44:
Good day my beautiful people here. Nairaland is my Family because I don't have a physical/Blood-related family and I believe I'll get the appropriate counsel here.

So, I work as a teacher of Mathematics in a Private School. The school is almost 3years since it's establishment while I'm over 2years working there.

My Employers(Husband & wife) are the Best you can ever have as far as the teaching job is concerned. They pay on time and are easygoing people. However, almost all the staff(42 staff) aren't happy with the fact that they give parents and students more concern at the detriment of the staff. As in, you can't get into a conflict with a learner or parent & ever expect to win the case even when it is obvious you're Right.

They allow the parents to decide what goes on in the school. And this isn't going down well with many of the staff. Parents moan a lot when u give them such chance. At a point I had to tell my boss that I was resigning, but he pleaded with me to stay and I stayed. But I'm really getting fed up.

The other thing is his incessant and unsolicited calls. I've worked in Eight schools in four different states of this country & I hate to be friends with my employers cos I have learnt a lot based on my previous experiences.

Such relationship doesn't end well cos I'm always at the receiving end. Truth is, I love the sch so much. The pay is not even up to 40k but I bless God. Aside doing my job, I also advise him on way forward as regards the sch. I even won the Best teacher's award last session.

I feel really uncomfortable with the way he calls me everyday even on weekends and odd hours. I no longer have my Privacy. He calls for very trivial reasons and it's about what I should do, how parents are complaining about some particular issues.

You hardly get applause for been dedicated to work. He is so quick to criticize, but never gives credit when he should. No matter how perfect you are at your job, once there's one little stain on it, it has dented every other good deeds. It's really so demoralizing and we the staff are not happy. There's no staff there that isn't hardworking, so why not overlook a few mistakes? I understand it's Business but his staff are also humans.

At times, I will have to either put off my two phones or put the phones on DND so as to avoid his calls. He has all my three lines. I had to stylishly ask some other close colleagues of mine if they also received such numerous calls form our Boss, but they said No.

So why is mine different?
This is not a good position. I can relate very well. I learnt from my experience.

At my first jobs, I was very dedicated. All Mt employers love me and the staff cos I put my fellow staff first before anything. I don't like taking credits even when I know its my concept that makes the success.

So more task was given to me cos " they trust me to handle it'". My boss will not have any cause to worry anytime I'm handling things, she will sent me to most of her top meetings. I knew her secrets and many more.

Because of that, the burden of success of the organisation was left to me, if anybody did not perform they all look at me like its my fault, why? Because no one said I'm the official team lead, but they expect me to play team lead role. I can't get angry, anytime I'm passed she will say other look up to me so I should not get angry.

What I did not know it " to whom much is given, much is expected". So the work became over burden, I was doing too much for the organisation, seems like I was partners with the ceo. Funny thing Is because I was over working, so I had the tendency to 1. Easily burst into anger because I was doing much work and other don't, and guess what,.. that's a big minus on my side cos as far as anyone is concerned, I was the one that got angry 2. Much was expected from me and I was expected to absorb all pains cos "I'm the leader" 3. Others can make excuses cos nothing much is expected from them and it will be like " just leave them" but I can't do same cos it will turn into something else.

Fast forward to when I got fed up, I got into a Seruous issues with my boss as a result of outburst of anger when I was overwhelmed by too much work and I see no one helping much. The Funny thing is they are not in the position to get angry so they were in good terms with the boss, but me that got angry,...no one considered all the work I was doing... the only news about me that was told to everyone and beyond us that " I disrespected my boss" case closed!

Now all of the are still working there. Even though I got a far better job... it was a lesson..

So in my new job, I don't do more than I can carry. I refuse to be any "natural leader " let everybody be lazy cos at the end..the lazy ones will have no black remark but you that much is expected from.

So he shouldn't solicit help online because you're too proud to beg, because I'm guessing you're the jobless one. What's the difference between you and a witch? 🤣🤣

If you can't help him then move on, its not your business if he cries out for assistance. I'm hearing Nigeria is a jungle right now.

Use and dump loading.... You are the CEO of your life, God didn't create you to serve another human being forever else, you pay for it. You were created to serve God and humanity in general not one person. Any person who is working so hard to colonize you is not your friend. Serve someone who is willing to position you to serve God and humanity.
