I felt breaking my boss head after he made some derogatory comments that got me angry and belittled..... Yesterday a colleague and I went to take measurements of a bank for renovation works in one of the tertiary institution in ogun state. My colleague been the senior was given the full details and equipment needed. When we got to ogun state, he gave me the equipment (tape and camera) and asked me if I could do it that he has a babe in the school. I said yes and he gave me extra 3k I guess that was to shut me up. After taking the measurement of the floor area in the banking hall and other adjoining spaces, I took pictures of the tiles and ceilings just to show my boss that they were in a very poor state. When I got back home I used my computer to scale the measurements and then redesigned the banking hall. The main aim of the renovation was to increase the number of cubicles in the banking hall from 3 to 7. Today when I got to the office, I gave my boss the report and showed the the proposed design I made, he said "Great". During critic session I was surprised that the initial drawing was brought out and he was redoing the design. Well I no talk, I watched until he was done instructing the architect. Then I compared his proposed design with mine and I quickly pointed out to him that he has used up much space for circulation moreover our cubicle spatial analysis is till the same. He called me Peter!!! ....what year were you born I told him, he said that was the year I started this company. If you have things in your head keep it. When you establish your firm, use it. Na so everybody dey look me like say I shit for body. See me wey for just keep quite....If it were to be somewhere else, Na orijin bottle I for arrange untop him head...............that is why I keep praying for a multinational firm....abeg make I quickly go check my shell application status.... 119 Likes 10 Shares |

Lol.. That's what ITK can cause.. Take it as a life lesson and not like its belittling.. its normal for bosses to talk like that cause they feel they know more than you.. You should be glad he didnt even make some terrible remarks when you gave him your own design... Ps "NEVER OUTSHINE YOUR MASTER" 212 Likes 7 Shares |

Dats how they all are, I remember when a certain boss of mine gave me a marketing proposal he wrote to proof-read, I did so and when he asked me for my opinion I told him and instead of looking into the matter he was telling me he is older than me, what has age got to do with it? 22 Likes 3 Shares |

ITK.. You know more than the owner of the company. . What a sweet reply from your boss...   You didn't like the humiliation he gave you but you were fast in pointing out his 'mistakes' in front of everyone rudely. . He saw your design already but decided to do what he thought was best for his company, so what's your prob? Abi must he follow your drawing? You already did your job, you should hv allowed him to do his! 37 Likes |

First, you should study and know the kind of boss you're working with, if he's the free and friendly type and not the proud/egostic one because you're also belittling him if you correct him especially in front of everyone. Your boss didn't ask for your opinion you should keep shut when he's doing his stuff. 4 Likes |

lol...that wasn't a good way to present your case. should have waited when the meeting is over then you meet him. even if he knows you were right, he can't just accept your opinion like that in middle of meeting in front of everyone. you should know how that would make him look nah. 3 Likes |

You made the mistake of pointing out his mistake in front of his subordinates that's why he ridiculed you in front of everyone. I would have done the same thing, so it's you that deserve an orijin bottle smashed on your head not him 8 Likes |
