Is This A Nigerian Factor- Workplace Observation by Uche7779(op): 7:51am On Apr 29, 2024
Guys,

Is this a Nigerian norm. I have been privileged to work in top companies and I find it difficult to adapt. Last October I left for one of the largest Fintechs in Nigeria and it's pretty much similar in almost everything.

. Eye service is so rife. Nigerians falling over themselves for these white guys,Indians, Lebanese damn...So annoying..

. Fellow Nigerians selling their country men out to Asian, Indians, Spaniards etc. HR, not paying close to 5% of what staff in other countries earn. Completely unbelievable.

. You take a decision in contrast to their belief system, and then you are in big trouble. As little as can we not work all Saturdays in a month or at least remote on Saturdays, then wahala.

Finally, they deceive you will multi cultural gibberish, while racism, conscious and subconscious bias is profound.

I am quitting-if I am even allowed to stay till December. Sick and tired of all these stuffs men. Bleep the pay men, I ain't wired to lick as*.

Not a Nigerian thing. It's corporate culture.

Kissing ass, backbiting and backstabbing is the norm EVERYWHERE. There's a whole community on reddit called "antiwork" that's devoted to stuff like this.

The degree of fakeness, artificial cheerfulness and counterfeit camaraderie is unbearable for anyone with even a little self respect.

You have to tolerate NONSENSE. And take bullshit from your boss. Even if your boss is incompetent and a nepptism hire.

Best thing is to get a little capital and start something for yourself. Or learn to kiss ass like you were born to do it.

Choice is yours.
