It got 2 an extent my mum had 2 tell me 2 quit, not cos of d chores really but cos of her actions,i didnt finish it. All i see is a country dat is not fair to its youth n all dos bosses taking advantage of dat.

My boss knows my kind of person. I feel bad for my co-workers when she's abusing them. I told them today that I'm not used to being around toxic and crude people and that's the more reason why I want to quit the job.

I can learn what I want when next I have a long holiday from a better person and place. Her services are limited too so why does she feel like a god? I don't worship people and it's not pride.

Really making money in this country is very hard .so you don't really need to blame them oo.
I'll always blame them. If they were in saner climes, they'd have been arrested. Do you know what's like to be abused verbally consistently? It's worse than physical abuse. Like someone said up there, our judicial system is bad.

Bad managers are everywhere
My manager always tell me the company is looking for who to sack almost every day, he says this so that I will give him more respect and some high service

My Boss is not like that ooh.. She's my ideal role model.. Very gentle, always calm.. I mean sometimes I it's really hard to maintain your cool especially when dealing with some crazy patients grin grin The ones that will carry all their baggage and offload it on you.. But still she's able to handle them all..
She even let's the nurse get away with too much Seff, talks to her anyhow sometimes..
Even though the pay is soo negligible.. I just love the woman sha.. She doesn't have problem.. Her overfamiliarity with too many people has even given us too many debtors

In as much as I don't support verbal abuse and do not do it, I must point out that doing business in Nigeria is hard.

The employer and the employee see different things in the business grin

While the employer is observing available and missed opportunities, getting worked up against delays, losses and increasing variable and fixed costs, the employee is only observing the number of days left to pay-day grin


The anxiety of the business falls on the employer and sometimes it could appear rude to see employees remain calm and unconcerned in difficult business situations tongue

Hmmm my own worse, i started workin for this man last year nov, (it was a betting busines bet9ja) he will always abuse us verbally especially at the end of the month. I was only endurin cox i was hoping to raise money and go back to sch, around feb thieves broke into our shop and this same man begged me in particular that i should bear wit him dat he is going to pay me that month salary anytime i planned to leave. Fast forward to august he sacked my three colleague except me. i handled the shop by mysf, he did nt increase my salary rather he stopped my frm going for my weekly leave and increased my working hour (i work frm 8am to 9pm everyday sunday included. He didnt pay me aug nd sept salary and in oct i told him tha am quiting, the man sacked me and refuse to pay me. Now he is tellin people that i stole his money. So bro abusing employee is in sm boss dna, they only become nice when they cnt pay you

She has never abused me, and I don't know why. I no dey look her face sef. I'm more focused on why I'm there, but can't stand the environment. It's too uncomfortable to keep my sanity. I only observed how she relates with her other staff, and it's not good at all, but they feel it's ok to be in such an environment 'cause left for them; you can only be great when bosses make things hard for you. That's the lie they sold to them.

let the truth be said. if you are a boss will you pay someone who doesnt work to your satisfaction. I am not a boss yet but I believe one day I will be a boss of my own. and its not new that this message is coming from a female. there is one thing I have noticed abt some females in the work environment. one, they have I don't care attitude and some of them are very very very lazy. they just come to work, any little chance they have, they will be watching movies on their phone, laughing some silly provoking laughs... Give some of them a task to do, they will start fawning their face like sheat.. But I have learnt one thing working with the and that is tolerance and anger management.... so for those boss who are abusive, the summary is that they don't tolerate nonsense and they go angry very easily...

remembered when I was working with ma boss n I was his most efficient staff, I drop the mic and bounce the first day he told me to shut up. ( well I guess that's what I do in any place I work, being their best staff but don't take any insult). From childhood I don't allow anyone or anything that affects my self-esteem. Though I'm my own boss and I have staffs. DROPS MIC

This is not new to me as I have come across a lot of people with the same complain. Truth be told, most of the Nigeria self bosses are extremely cruel to their employee. "Yes, I pay you and I have right over you. If you can't keep up with my cruel life/take my insults, then get out and leave their establishment" This is what most of them believes, they are just being callous.

However this ideology is completely wrong. What most Nigeria bosses fail to understand is that in as most as costumer is their priority, employee are also of importance. Happy employee thrives business, this means if you treat your employees well, they will be happy to give in their best in order to satisfy costumers. Check out most of the closed businesses, you'd be surprise to find out that 80%-90% is due to poor management and from this ratio majority are due to unhappy employee giving shabby efforts.

The truth is that you sell your time and the boss buys your time. Hence, since the boss is paying for your time, be ready to receive the insults and endure the cruelty. The way out of this situation is just to be your own boss. You said you are best at Braiding and from what i read you have passion for it. Why not package yourself? take time to plan how you can render this service yourself. I hope you will think towards been a selfboss and turn employer of labour someday.
