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.

this is just the exact description of the last job I resigned from..in addition to that they scam (the only way I can describe what they do) people of their sweat and promised to link them up to non existent jobs/business..i managed to work there for a month. Thank God you walked away.. OP a better job is coming...

Never wanted to cause a scene tho

Fair..you're not the raise hell guy.... but you had all access and the know how to destroy his company before you leave. Heaven knows how many people's lives he had since put in misery. Change in such behaviour can only come from us... when each of us do what we can do to make such people know we can strike back.
In many societies the boss dare not do such... because of the consequences.... either dragged to court or suffer a beat down or be gunned down. What consequences es do these bosses have to consider?...none.

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!
