The moment they say WE ARE LIKE A FAMILY HERE. JUST KNOW THAT THEY WILL USE YOU AND MESS U UP PSYCHOLOGICALLY

Hahahaha. This is common in startups.

That your number 3 get k-leg o. Most a times, you got work beyond your JD to excel. What matters is how you identify problems and resolve them

Your talking sense.

It is a 2 edged sword. I have worked as an employee, as a manager and now I run my business with about 40 workers. I can tell you an employee would feel used by his boss until he starts his own business and employ people. Most workers don't care about your business just as you feel employers over use thier staff. As for me I identify people that take my business seriously and prioritise them. The matter long, you need to have experienced both to understand better.

Lol Direct your message to people that work for people for 30yrs and start feeling entitled instead of accounting for dere recklessness....

In this Tinubu era 80% of workers are underemployed. I don't even know what I archived last year.

Rapmoney or whatever you call yourself.

Stop making people to hate who gave them Jobs.

There is even no Job in Naija, people are surviving, you are dishing protocol.

If they eventually loose the bird at hand, how would they manage to catch the two in the bush?

He should take more responsibility to be indispensable. One day boss want to get ride of him only to realize. He would be minding his business when they would double his salary. Even new persons for those positions needs training each.

For where?, Oga forget that thing, I did more than him, I saved a whooping 20million for my former firm, and I was paid 200k as incentive, I saved lost of cost. The day I was sacked it was just a pronouncement. That guy should better start investment, take courses that will improve his chances of securing a better job. And stop pleasing Nigerian employers.

Of cause he should always improve himself. Most rich people have multiple sources of income... If the side of Sol is lucrative, then you can double down on It by quitting the other distraction.

I use to believe this, but I learnt this is not always true

Sometimes appearances is just as important as reality, taking more responsibility might make you look desperate, like you don't have options, and nobody likes a beggar, (there are more movies made about criminals than beggars), the employers would never double your salary infact they would come believe they are doing you a big favour by paying you at all.

You can be hardworking but always add a little touch of selfishness and self respect, it makes them value you more.

Rapmoney:
1. YOUR SALARY IS NOT PART OF YOUR EMPLOYER'S PROFIT : The money your employer pays you monthly as salary is not part of his profit; it is part of his or her cost of running the business. Since you do not share in his or her profits, you should not also share in their losses. There is an agreement between you and your employer that you are going to carry out specific duties which you will be paid for. Anything that makes your employer to pay you half salary in a month or withhold your salary due to so-called absence of funds should not be acceptable. If an employer cannot pay workers, he or she should close down the business or sell it off.

2. IF YOU SEE YOURSELF IN AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOESN'T ISSUE EMPLOYMENT LETTERS: Whenever you find yourself working in an organization that does not issue employment letters to workers, just know that you are not working but just 'hustling'. Such type of employees do not deserve resignation letter when you want to leave. Just leave when you want to leave; don't dignify them by giving them a resignation letter. If you are not worthy to be issued an employment letter, they are not also worthy to receive a resignation letter from you. Do not dignify them with one. There is no binding labour law backed by the constitution between both of you.

3. DO NOT WORK BEYOND YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION : Humans are very selfish oftentimes. When you go out of your way to carry out other duties that are not included in your job description, they automatically become part of your job description. Everybody likes mumu, but the day mumu becomes wise, mumu will become a bad person. That's how how some private school owners use their teachers to do odd jobs such as clearing grasses, cooking and doing domestic chores. I have a friend who used to work in a private school. Within 3 months of employment, his boss converted him to a driver and personal assistant while still working as a teacher on top 30k salary.

4. IF YOU SPEND YOUR YOUTHFUL DAYS...: If you spend your youthful days working for people, you may end up a poor sad fellow in old age. As you dey work, make you dey invest too.

Thank you sir. What are the things we should ensure are captured on the employment letter. Some employers basically give letter of appointment/resumption with nothing significant captured on it.

I am currently a victim of Number 1 and I don't know how to come out of it!

Just last week we received the balance of our February salary.

When working for ppl, work with your strength, live and integrity, but see yourself as finally a business owner very soon kiakia, and take off.
Don't listen to family and friends o.
Life is meant to be lived , and not chasing a rat race .

Yes you are right.

Unfortunately, there are some people (usually from a particular ethnic group) if you show them respect, they will sit on your head (they feel, it's my juju working)... and there are some people if you show them respect, they'll reciprocate.

There's no scarcity of jobs .
If only our elders had seen the trajectory by 2000, we would had been building kiosk and medium workshops in their millions, which would had progressed to heavy industry; and awọn useless courses in the university ( many of them are useless in Nigeria economy) would have been replaced by purely technical vocations of max 3 yrs.

Instead , each administration out their heads in the sand.

Even in America, wise ppl are running away from the university system; it's enslaving ppl to useless elites , instead of bringing out their creativity.

Back to industrialization.

oyeh dey your head

Advice is actually one of the cheapest things to offer, even when the advisor cannot dare practice what he is advising others.
Everything you said there is correct, 100%. But the fact that people initially, especially in Nigeria, are grateful for even seeing where to go to every morning and return in the night so they can have 30k into their bank account at the end of the month is a think to ponder over. Many know what they want, but they also know that what they want may never become reality because of the environment they find themselves.

One Nigerian lady in the UK didnt pay for the last week I worked in their company.
Just to let her know that each time I remember the unpaid money I pray for her negatively.

Moyinoluwa35:
Military work is the best

Military work in second hand is a slavery

I think it all depends on the relationship you have with your employer and the company structure.

I work remotely for a company and can go for 2 weeks without doing anything. But then, whenever I'm called upon, I strive to deliver even if it's not in my job description. Sometimes I answer my boss at 12 midnight and handle some little tasks.

My dedication and working beyond my job description has earned me a place in the company that they're afraid of my leaving the job.

It's all in the plan, make yourself indispensable especially for a startup and when they start growing, request to be paid in stock instead of cash (salary).

However, when working in a toxic environment and they start deducting your salary, resign immediately. Even in my current job, any day they deduct 1usd from my salary I'll resign immediately.

You won't believe it but it happened

Make yourself indispensable and you'll really be valued. Learn skills that will place you in such positions. If you have what they are really looking for, they will treat you with caution
