I didn't stay up to a month.
After staying Idle at hone for a while, i got this job at an upscale restaurant in Uyo. The job description was for that of a Manager/Assistant, the pay was 40k, and after calculating the transportation cost from my bat cave to work, it was worth it, I was told we would be on shifts between 8am - 3pm, 3pm-10pm, Mondays - Sundays. Well, i was tired of being Idle, might as well just work myself to stupor, i got the job. Brothers and Sisters, ladies and gentlemen, after a week, the shifts didn't start and i was working from 8am - whatever time the guests leave, most times I'd get home by 1am . I took it up to the owner and head chef, she said it would be sorted out as soon as she got one more person to add yo the workforce. Omor, a week passed again and still no one came, plus the working environment was always teased when the owner was around. She's impatient, gets angry easily. That was my concern as every job had it's yunno... Few days to when the bubble bursted, I was doing my usual morning routine of stock taking as it was part of my job as the Assistant manager, I got talking with the kitchen staff, and I was told she severely hit one of the girls the day before and she got injured, at first, i thought it was a joke till the girl herself showed me, i was shocked and proceeded to ask if she had always been that way, they said "Yes oooo, infact before you resumed, one girl left because she was constantly receiving beatings from the boss" I laughed sha, cos it all seemed like a joke, till it happened right before my eyes. Guests arrived after booking for dinner, and at that point the food wasn't ready due to the fact that the boss didn't release money in time for things to be bought, and when the money came, it was almost time for dinner. Guests arrive, Boom!!, generating set went off, Ahan! , walahi i became confused, without electricity, the kitchen couldn't function. I tried to be calm as the head huncho at the time, but i couldn't seem to now wha happened. At this time, some of the guests were already eating, while some were waiting. I had no option than to call the boss to inform her bout the situation (wrong move as all hell broke loose). When she arrived, she didn't speak to me, not one word to me, the generating set came back on, but at this time, the guests who were yet to get their meal were already murmuring, but a good number of people were already getting their meals. I went into the diner to try to pacify the guests as the food would soon be out, as i was doing so, i heard noise outside, didn't know where it was coming from, but i knew something was wrong. I stepped into the kitchen to see madness. One of the girls who was preparing a meal was pinned to the wall by her throat while holding a spatula as she was preparing semo, and thus semi was on the gas, which was still on. There was pepper all over the floor, the manager (a lady) was her knees begging for her life, the boss's kids were crying and begging her to stop and calm down. It's was chaos in that kitchen. Unfortunately the boss got wind of the fact that some guests had not been served and she exploded! She held the girl by her throat, pinned her to the wall yelling, i came in just in time to release her grip. I begged sha . No be small thing that day, she left the girl, got hold of the second girl, began to hit that one, i screamed and at that point she faced me, omor , she held me by my collar saying "you'll kill me" "you want to ruin my business" all i kept saying was "I'm sorry ma" omor, she no gree o. As i kept begging, she was attacking everyone in the kitchen. I stood up from the floor in anger, went back into the diner, dropped the organization's phone, picked up my bag, phones and chargers and left. I have worked as a data entry officer at a prominent mall in Uyo for 4 years, never have i seen anything like that before. Prior to that day, since i got there it's been from one level of anger to the other. The dissatisfaction, the anger, the impatience. No matter what we did, it wasn't enough. But she's a nice lady though, but naaaaa.

I did quit a job within a month as a web developer.

that I will always work with a project manager that understands the intricacies of programming

Did you learn programming in school or on your own? I’m so fascinated. Everything you wrote up there sounds like gibberish to me but I’m sure there must be a way I can do it.

Stargurl20:


Do you mean the salary I'm being paid monthly?

Honestly, it not that stressful but very time demanding. Waking up as early as 4-4:30 am and closing by almost 7pm daily. It's one day off in a week. No observation of public holidays

Are you learning and developing skills in your current job? If yes, I would advice you persevere. There are different seasons in life, including the time to bear difficulties for the sake of the greater good in terms of future prospects.

Mehn, I read your comment from beginning to end, that woman has severe anger issues and I'm almost sure she beats her husband at home. Nasty behaviour. Such a violent woman.

So Sorry for your horrible experience but to be honest with you , most people working in eateries don’t want to do anything…even to greet guest na war, to clean Nope, just siddon dey press phone squeeze face all day ..omo.

Your boss was wrong but sincerely if she never craze like that…90% of the workers in the place won’t do anything and guests will get tired and stop coming.

You never see anything.

There's always that one post that kills me in a thread. This is it.

It just comes out of nowhere and makes you start laughing uncontrollably.

Meerahbel:
Shut up!!!! You don't earn anything stop boasting, no poor man online.

Your ignorance is on another level. I don't know him neither do I know you, but if you know how much people like you make online from digital skills,you will never ever work for anybody again. The last time I worked for any company was 8 years ago. Be humble and ask him to put you through instead of sounding childish. It's still on this forum that I learnt what I do currently and it pays 5 times more than my former salary, yet I have my freedom.

You younger folks are always quick to use careless words. go to other forums like reddit, and see how respectful people comment on threads.

toujurs:
So what do you do now?
. If you want a soft life you have to work for it

There are jobs that don't require you to work like a donkey or travel a far distance daily and that was the guy's point.

Some Nigerians have normalised suffering to the point where you see anyone with a contrary mindset as being lazy or unserious.

When i returned from NYSC, got a job with a loan shark comapny. The work enviroment is too toxic for my soul and this was kt what u wanted.

I just stood up and went to the HR that i wan to quit. She said okay and terminated my contrat. This was a day after my first month pay

The headmistress who is not even the owner of the school is very toxic, she rubbishes the staff, talks down on us every morning, it got to a level I couldn't take it, I resigned within a month, she refused to pay me, guess what, it didn't take up to a year, I got a job that pays more than 4 times the salary. Good riddance..

toujurs:
why the sudden aggression i earn 315, am not rich, but am very comfortable, because i have a successful side business. Roughly every month should be 645.

And you were just talking about Nigerians not being able to afford houses in top areas

Meanwhile, your salary per month won't be able to buy just 1tonne of 12mm rod

You guys should take it easy abeg!

Probably it was a low budget startup company and the owner was trying to cut cost. Trust me, he knew what needed to be done for a glitch-free operation, but as a slave rider, he figured that one person could shoulder more tasks.

Stargurl20:


Same situation I'm in right now. Just that I close around 6:30pm - 7pm. If I wake anything less that 4: 30 am I will most probably be late.

I'm thinking of quiting. I'm doing my Nysc, but I've ghosted the PPA coz allowee wasn't sustaining.

I noticed that my mum isn't in approval of me quitting coz of the body language she's giving and it's because she doesn't like the idea of one staying at home.

I'm not quitting to just sit idle at home, but until I get another job, I might have to spend some time home. I'm totally confused sef

quit bro, more opportunities await you. But you can’t see em with that daily schedule.

And yet, even after doing everything, he will gaslight you into thinking that you are not doing enough.

The gaslighting is a follow-come feature for most private business owners. It's a tool they use to keep people on their toes. Good thing you bailed on them, Joseph.
