I've worked for a vegetable export company with inhumane conditions. We got in at 7.00am and out at 8.00pm. Only a 15mins break at 1.45pm for lunch. The thing I found most difficult was working while standing over tables since we were sorting and cutting vegetable into package size. The supervisors walked around to ensure we did not lean over the tables. It was my first job so the excitement kept me there for a month.
You were lucky to get a break...I work within the same time frame yet no break.
you don't sit down,no place to hide and rest, there's Camera everywhere....

That was a good decision.you could have just find yourself in a lot of problems after few years.first if you are married,your family life in under a big threat to collapse.second,you will only earn money not be able to enjoy it...a lot of things will happened and at the end you might not be able to account for anything. I wish you success in your future endeavours.

Exactly what am feeling and going through right now, its as if this thread is meant for me, right now I feel like resigning with immediate effect.
I am d only worker that sits from morning till evening without resting a bit, Mondays to Saturdays, yet the only way Director can pay you back is to rubbish your hardwork and jeopardized your efforts.
I have cried my eyes out several times yet nothing can be done than to resign, I am tired!!

I would have love to resign but I stays in Staff Quarters in which our rents are being deducts from our salaries. If I should resign now, I will have to evacuate the house and my rent will due by March.
Pls what do I do to ease this pain and have happiness? cry cry cry

Lazy people always complaining

In some of the companies here in the USA, overtime is mandatory

Just don't blame the working hours, blame it on something else like "Your spirit is still with the previous company you worked for"
Don't they pay them for the overtime? Nigeria's case is most times different.

After the company I had worked for 3 years plus announced they were leaving Nigeria due to the harsh economic situation, I was happy when I secured another job on 30th of November 2016, which was the last day of my previous job. I couldn't wait to share my testimony here, lol.

Upon resumption, I realised people worked like horses for the company(Monday to Saturday)with no overtime bonus for working till about 10, 11pm if u have to, the best u get is a hotel room for the night if you can no longer go home. I was the only one going out for break and closing by 5.I understood because I was new, they didn't want to complain and wanted me to settle down. Hmmmmm, see work Oooooo. Although I had heard of such companies It was beginning to dawn on me that I had just gotten into one.

I terminated my appointment and no amount of persuasion from the management could stop me (If the offer is so cool, they should give it else with my experience and pay the person, shikena!)Why beg me?

I know the situation in Nigeria is terrible and many people doing such jobs are holding on till they get another job, its not easy to bear, sincerely.Employers especially Lebanese are taking the advantage to enslave Nigerians. Unfortunately, our government is still asleep.

I resigned because my circumstances at the moment does not demand for me to work under such poor conditions of service. But then, not every Nigerian has same circumstances and can take such a bold step.It is really heart breaking to see people suffer like this.

Have u worked under such conditions before? please share.

My brother, sometimes quitting is the best option. If you can quit such jobs, I wonder why this government is producing graduate conductors and people are lauding them.

But you get paid handsomely for overtime.

Overtime hours = 1.5 x hourly rate.

Will people do overnight on regular pay?

My brother, it's not easy. People resign not because they don't want to work but because of poor working condition like yours.
I advise you to pray and expect something better. But if you have the means, you could further ur education while you quit the job.

I got into one 2 months ago in my quest for "self-discipline".

Despite the fact that my trip to work is 2 hours long, it's expected of everyone to get to work at 8am. You can't leave till around 8pm and you'll still have to work at home in the night if the ongoing project has not been completed. I leave home at 6am and get home at 10pm +, including Saturdays.

I continued because I loved my teammates and I was of the opinion that I could get them to join me in the execution of my startup. The pay was ridiculous and the boss threatens everyone. I played along for 2 months and made myself almost indispensable to him...

I decided I've had enough when he wanted to compensate me and he gave me cash that's not even enough for my weekly sub. I made him understand that I'm the one helping him and not the other way round. He called me in the middle of the night and started giving me different offers. It's too late, except he'll accept that I work remotely.

I'm my own boss.

I remember when i just finished secondary school, I really wanted to work. I got a job at one hair attachnent factory,I was happy when I was posted to a section where the cut papers, those cardboards that has the female models, they told me my job discriptions, part of it was to carry cardboard, easy abi? mehn, before i could carry the whole cardboard to the machine, like three bar don miss from my life span. It was then I looked around, the guys on the job are hefty guys, the machine started looking as if it eould cut my hand. Na so I just step out as if I want to ease my self, I washed my face and the next place I found my self was home, yh, I just resigned under 30mins, I know Im lazy, thank you.

unfortunately, the same problem is what many of our Nigerian youths are facing either in schools or blue chip coy. imagine school scheduling Saturday classes and paying teachers peanut after an academic sessions?
have tried fighting the system and speaking out and the downside i that it is even your colleagues that will tell you to keep quiet and have been tagged bad egg.
am out after this to go solo.

Just go and marry. Two is better than one.

I was a manager controlling millions of naira. I resigned 2 weeks ago. Family members and the company are still begging me to return. I need peace, not just money.

I was afraid people will be saying I was sacked, but the company is after almost everyone to persuade me to be back.

Stop waiting for NLC to fight for you. Nothing stops you guys from organising a protest. You will be surprised at the outcome. Don't march against one particular company, organise 1000 people here to show up on a particular day to protest poor working conditions in general. Blogs will cover the story, at least one news crew will show up. Make it a general complaint but mention no names of any company: poor working conditions, no overtime pay, salary deductions and mention how foreigners seem to doing it the most. All you need is a few of you to organise everyone else and give the interviews. Do you know how many journalists are looking for stories to sell to international news sites? That is how to become a Labour leader. You really think NPF will show up against a huge crowd somewhere in Lagos and be shooting you guys? Govt leaders will stylishly try and join your protest to advance their agenda, they are looking to scoring populist votes. This means your safety is assured. Unlike religious and secessation protests.

Use the tools you have to do more than insult the govt ineffectually and talking about celebrities.
