I thought you are insane until I read d part where dey scam ppl. U did d right thing

8 hrs to from home to the office? Na interstate job Dat can't b right

Good as an individual you should know what you stand for. I resigned before even getting my salary for this month Reason
I was employed as a project supervisor and we've been able to execute one project. That was on my 1st two weeks as a trainee without pay, now we have no project on ground and I have been turned to an errand boy by the Boss. He drags me to his party n compel me to serve guest which I stylishly resist. He is so aggressive he transfers aggression on every one if someone offends him calling us names. He doesn't listen to our opinion with his favorite line when I talk you don't talk. Last Saturday was the last straw he was hitting me on my chest n almost hit me on my face n told me to leave the vicinity like say I be baby. Now people at work are calling me to apologize to him saying I should know him for that which I totally refused and I quit going to the office. He's been telling them I'm so arrogant that I can't even inform him I'm quitting.

Nice one.... Job is meant to be enjoyed.

Someone asked me why will you resign from your job when you haven't gotten another In this present Nigeria and I put up my million dollar smile and told him that a there are benefits in having a good name.

I know things are really difficult in this economy of ours. Getting a job is one and getting benefits from the job is another with examples from the woes being suffered by the civil servants in Kogi.

I was jobless for about 3months because the company I worked for didn't have any project at hand so we came to a mutual understanding and I moved on.
During my jobless period, I searched and searched for a job but this is Nigeria where anything goes. You know you are qualified for an engineering position but an accountant who is the HR feels otherwise or you attend an interview and they want you to collect peanuts that wouldn't help you save at the end of the day.

After I passed through this frustrations, I decided to take a digital marketing course which finally helped in securing my job as a digital marketer in a one-man firm. (I never knew it was a one-man firm before having read the experiences of other Nairalanders)

I started the job based on what I was told at the interview but later realized that it was all lies.
Ranging from who really owns the firm to my job descriptions.
So, I have listed the major reasons in no particular order on why I resigned after working for just a month

Distance and Security
The distance from my house to my workplace takes approximately 8hrs on the road to and fro
I lacked sleep, moved about with a keen sense of security due to early morning and late night movements. Sometimes, I I wouldn't get vehicles and would need to walk a long distance to be able to get home and this really affected my health.

Job description
I know what I signed for during the interview but it was different when I started.
I didn't only do the work of a digital marketer but also train other staffs who are not too skilled with the computer, do Graphics Design each day, if any computer develop problems, I will need to check it out, develop business proposals, look for clients offline (Marketer) and also serve as a customer care.
I was being exploited by my boss.

Integrity at stake
During my second week, I finally knew that the company was a joke.
They scam unsuspecting victims. Companies and individuals.
You will be listed on the website and be called to register stating that they have jobs for you.
The victims fall for it and will probably wait for eternity before they can get a job from the company.
The owner of the company put me under lots of pressure to do this and if there's one thing I believe in, it is a good name.
I can't just scam people trying to make ends meet so that I can be paid my salary.

So, I resigned after a month. The owner called me telling me to return and I refused. He made a offer that I work from home which I didn't accept...

About a week later, a subscriber threatened one of the staffs in the office and another staff followed my footstep and I was happy that I left before this occurred.

In life we are often faced with situations such as this, so will you sell your integrity for stipends? The world will certainly be a better place if we believe that it begins with our actions.

You have done well my brother. A good name ia better than Silver and Gold.

We are legitimate data reseller.

Wehdone sir

don't you wish to know what a tear rubber landcruiser feels like? FB

Some four years back, I went through similar shit, the difference being that you earned far more than i did... Guess what?? I woke up one morning and knew i was gonna quit and yes i did! Thank JEHOVAH I did! Today, I actually do business with my ex-boss. I earn more now by God's grace and the best part of it is that, I wake up knowing- my stress, my money!

Thank God you left that miserable place of work you call a job

Tell those that are asking you to apologise to him to tell him that he is stupid. Insulting and assaulting an employee is highly wrong and should not be tolerated.

You know your worth.

someone once told me (unsolicited advice) that I should never quit my job for any reason, not even for sexual harassment until I've secured another job.

Hmmmm.... so he was hitting you... a grown man in the chest.... and you allowed him to leave with all his teeth in his mouth?.... and an unbroken jaw? .......and we still wonder why these bosses be treating their employees like babies. Monkey knows which branch to jump on
@op...you left too quietly....should've informed all his customers that the company is a fraud!

Please, do not follow that advise... It's extremely wrong

U did d right thing by saving your image..One man business has a lot of risk..people should do a lot of investigation before taking appointment in a one man business, except d man is a professional, that is financially OK and capable of handling d business in a professional manner..

Tmercy:
yea a start up and its been a bad experience

Hmm. Mine is bitter sweet.. But most times it is tiring.. Sunday to Sunday oo.. No break

How can you tell if I earned more than you?

Great move man! Its most likely one of those advanced GNLD brouhaha.

I really don't understand the sphere we are in these days.

You have to go through so much to get tailor made jobs.

Even at that, or as a way of the coy/company trying to cut cost, they coin one's confirmation letter in such a way that its going to be cleverly filled with ambiguity.

At the end of the hour, you see other funny job roles assigned to you.

Its contract marketing staffs i have sheer worry for.

Doing the same job a professional staff does but paid crumbs and someone from God knows where will still insist you save! Anyway, it is well with Us.
