So sorry for you ordeal.

But OP, you contributed to the factor that let to your job termination for the frank reason that you knew too well that in any work environment that has to do with people from diverse background, you were suppose to study everyone's character and act accordingly in order to have a cordial relationship.

I believe you must learnt your lessons and develop on your interpersonal skills in your next experience.

Wish you all the best

The truth is that ur introverted personality makes u look like doondi in a fast pace work place..

Secondly, ur mistakes sends the signal that u re dull which u Might not be.

Thirdly, working in an environment where inter-personal skill is required won't be ideal for your personality.

I once had a colleague like you, his dondiness made me like him cous I controlled him nd could use him to commit.
The management managed him cous they believed him coming from Badagry to apapa everyday made him dull until he got transferred to another branch were he started his 1st day with query.

Being an introvert and being a dondi are too different things. Just because he chooses not to involve himself in chit chats with his colleagues doesn't make him a dondi. So far he is efficient in his work. So stop comparing him to ur so called ex-dondi colleague.

If you really want to survive out there, you have to change. The funniest things is about being an extrovert/non-introvert is that talking/gisting comes naturally but for an introvert, if he must talk especially to strangers, he has to force it.

I am an introvert, so I can relate with your experience .

Most bosses don't tolerate introverts, just smile at intervals to their Jokes (even if it is boring) .

I recently did my internment, I just had a mild relationship with all.

No complain.

Entrepreneurship rocks.

@OP

Many a time, most people do mix up gutlessness and laziness for introversion. Excuse me, from what you stated above, you come across like a gutless and lazy person and your introvert nature compounded it.

Confident and hyperactive introverts never have issues at their work places or with people in general. I am a confident, maverick and hyperactive introvert and I command admiration, trust and respect of people wherever I find myself.

maybè your boss dosnt just like an introvert. That's y she said you leave,but you should take it as a challenge,....I am an introvert but I work as a customer care agent today and make much noise I never bargained for in my life.
But its improved me and my confidence esp in meeting people and standing for my rights.




After each days work I sit at the back of the staff bus quiet,pple complain about that ..I tell them after all that noise at the call center u ain't hearing my voice again,.....they laugh me off.

I recently took on a job, about few days ago (less than two weeks), as a office assistant/ Computer operator at an office located at Ojudu Berger. This is partly because I had just finished the just concluded Jamb utme examination and I was less-busy at home and I needed to develop work ethics and gain professional experiences that would be vital in future. There are TONs of stuff you have to learn while being in this position & I was doing great making photocopies, taking passports, and even helping out in typying. When we are less busy, My boss comes for a chat with my co-workers﹑ which they eagerly and actively participate but I don't. Not because I do not like my Boss or I'm avoidant, but I prefer being at peace with my thought and value my personal space. Then I noticed after few days, Her behaviour and mood towards me changed for the worse as she shouts at me and insults me if i make mistakes, Ofcourse, That's not a problem, but the hurtful part is she hurls insult on my personality. She says to me "You stand there like mumu'', 'Dondie'', 'Lookie lookie like deaf and dumb' e.t.c .
But today at work, I made a mistake with taking a passport photograph due to the fact that the pressure was much coupled with the over-crowded enivironment.She instantly got annoyed and said she can't tolerate a dull and mumu person and that I'm too dull. She said I should leave.

I was pissed because I had not been given a chance to learn everything needed to know Yet. I think this was really unfair since I was not even given a chance to improve. She said blame me for being an "observer", but she had to let me go.

I'm not sad this happen but this had triggered my incentiveness and challenged me the more. I'm even courting an idea of developing a start-up.


My friend

I hate to say this, but you brought this upon yourself. why didn't you stop her the very first day she insult you, and even threaten to report her to any labor agencies that will care to listen to your story.? Doing that alone will instill fear in her, because as an educated person, you should use the little you know to protect yourself always. but this days some Nigerians will even entertain slaps from their employers in exchange for peanuts.

My advice to Nigerians out there is to Know the laws at all time. because that is your only weapon against any abusive employer. they hate people that knows the law

Thanks

In a serious work environment, being an introvert shouldn't matter. It is your productivity that should matter. If everyone is busy gisting, how does any serious work get done? She is an unserious lady and her business will soon run down.

An introvert is actually a deep thinker, and quite intelligent and creative. Your type is an asset to any organization if your talents are Channeled properly. Please look for a serious company to work for. Don't feel bad. You just worked with a shallow and dull set of people.

But he was making blunders. He would have been more respected if his work was flawless
