U re unaware of the new trend in Naija, when market men and women encroach your land and refuse to leave - put fire, when you are in a lot of debt, nd u need the insurance claim to offset some - put fire, when your boss do you like this and sack you at the end - put fire.... Loool

Sometimes in life things happen for a reason. According the book of Eccl chap. 3 where it says everything happens for a reason I was just unhappy when at my workplace my superior almost frustrated the life out of me. I don't know why she was like that though I was new at that time. It was an admin role and I was employed by her to work as her PA/Admin Assistant to the company. I had my office to myself and I gave my ALL to both the company and to her but the issues were there evidently submerging with the flow of duties at the office. I guess her personal, family issues were affecting her job but alas!, I was wrong!

It was later in the course of my probatory period I learnt a friend of the company has been pressuring her/the management to pull me off the job and allow his daughter take up my role at the office due to their long working relationship. I was hinted of this 'secret' by one of the top management staff and it broke my heart. The zeal I put in into the job somehow disappeared because I was seeing the signs. My boss was just complaining of EVERYTHING I do and always reminded me of the probatory job agreement I signed before taking up the job thereby filling my heart with fear and anxiety. I kept on praying.

Fast-forward to Dec. 11th I came to the office as usual prepared for the working day ahead only for my bosslady barged into my office and asked that I see her in her office. I thought it was the normal day work rountine of telling me what I will be doing for her only for her to tell me to hand over EVERYTHING in my possession, everything which belong to the company. I was dumbfounded at first but somehow I try to mutter a word or two which was incoherent to decipher. My heart was beating fast. I didnt say anything thereafter because pleading to her for what I didnt know about will fall on deaf ears.

I went back to my office and tidied up everything, called the office assistant/cleaner and handed everything to him and took my leave. I was crying inside of me, alot was going through my mind. It was as if my world came crashing. How do I explain to my folks what happenned and I hate playing the pity-party.

I came back the next day and handed over my resignation letter thanking them for the time spent and all. Right now, my hopes are hinged on God for another opportunity, just been praying I get a new job the soonest as a vindication for my undeserved ouster from my former place of work.

My experience spans over 7years working as an admin personnel and I won't mind learning on a new role as I am a fast learner and can multi-task and work with or without supervision. The details of my cognate experience(s) are contained in my CV attached therein with this post.

Thanks again.

MY ADVICE to all employees:

Rule 1: Don't get very comfortable in any job. You are just a number and very expendable. If you die, the company will continue to exist.

Rule 2: Treat every paycheck as the last one. It will help you plan better ahead. People who just lost their jobs do not go the clubs to make it rain. They conserve. So should you.

Rule 3: Loop

Re: I Lost My Job Because Of This, So Painful by abbey621(m): 3:49pm On Dec 25, 2016

I keep telling anyone that cares to listen, the cure for unemployment is not creating more jobs but creating and enforcing employment laws. Only in Nigeria would a colleague be asked to wash the manager's car or sleep around with big men to make quota. Employment laws are crucial to protecting the rights many Nigerians don't even know they have, in this situation an employment contract should have been signed protecting the company and the employee,if such a contract is violated there could be huge consequences, there should have been a verbal and written warning before termination and the HR should be the one to act not the immediate manager but because many employers know Nigeria is a lawless and useless entity, they do whatever!

why are you so sad my brother, don't you knkw that Jehovah your God is definitely not sleeping. He's only taking you out of Egypt to a better land flowing with milk and honey. Like the prophet of old, Abraham have faith even though you do not know where you are going to but have faith and be strong, keep praying and be on the watch.

Believe me, that company is not where ur career dwells...

As for the so called sister of the friend... She may not offer that which u offered.

So friend, be grateful that u left something behind.

Cheer up.
