It's a very horrible situation to be in, especially when there is that societal pressure hanging on one's shoulder. Horrible is an understatement infact lol. I am the shy type and hate to bother people for anything but I have amazed myself by some of the people I've spoken to,called, emailed, begged stylishly( so humiliating! lol), some of them are complete strangers. Again lesson learnt/being learned.

When you have no 'connection' in Nigeria, you are an orphan of a kind.

Pls people I had to open a new account to avoid some things, I am working in a bank as PA to the state area manager, they started me with 11k march 2018 with promise of increase but till today I'm still earning 11k, pls note the 11k don't even take me through the month and basically not a single savings since I started.

Pls nairalanders should I quit this draining job or should I continue?
Note I don't have any other thing to do for now but I think I'm hustling backward.

Pls I need ur candid advise here cos I'm so confused

byrron:


Sadly, it shouldn't be like that.

Doktajay5:


Sorry bro.... Let me ask u a question based on this ur advice to this sufferingyyoung man Aby woman.

Do u think this 11k is feeding and transporting him in a month? If am not wrong, There are 30/31days in a month and this is an adult here. So assuming he suffers to live on 1k per day, hw about the remaining 19/20 days of the month ..

Again, at what time will he/she apply to the microfinance bank? In the night? Or weekends?

Did u hear the part that he said from 2018 to date he has no savings?? Don't u think he is begging already even as an assumed working class?? What makes u think he won't be a better begger with very high chance of getting support when he begs as a known unemployed person than having to beg as a working class, u will u dash him money as a working class?, because am sure that whatever way he is running the remaining days of the month is not far from begging even as a working class...

Please brother, don't give anyone this type of advice...

That suffer of a job is the hindrance to his progress bro. Quote me.

No need to quit your job except you have another, or you have another source of income

I stay in akwa ibom, getting a teaching job that pays to that amount is not easy

If ure in portharcourt will give u physical audience

micflo28:
Those asking him to quit, do you have something else for him to do? I will advise you continue to pressurise for pay increment as you become more dedicated. Convince them reasons you deserve a pay increment, that you will use spare times to acquire more skills relevant to the efficiency of your job, it would build your confidence level, make you more dedicated and resillient and take care of your dependants that look up to you. Moreso, remind them that the minimum wage is now 30k which is more humane and advised by all employers to adopt. Keep pushing subtly and nicely with some emotional countenance. Don't be arrogant about it. If he is still going on without pay increase, acquire all that you need to know about a PA's job, build your CV in that line to be attractive and to portray your acquired skills over the years, submit while on the job and go to a better company with a better pay when the job is offered to you. Goodluck.

DrObiHogan:


So it's better he quits this night and stays at home and if at the end of 30 days no job yet he eats poo? Are you OK? Applying for job is done with email messages. You scout online and publications in newspapers for vacancies and you send applications and resume. When they call you for interview you just blow one lie to oga and get a permission then you attend your interview. Once they call you to come pick appointment letter then you quit your present job after the letter is in your hand. Employers find it easy to take on somebody that has a job already over a jobless fellow because they will always ask "where are you working presently" they will confirm your answer here before confirming your appointment after about 6 months of working with them and if u lie, you're fired. I'm sure you don't know these things and that's why I'm educated but if this person does otherwise like quit today that's Friday, I bet you he won't get any job till next 30 days which means that 11k won't come and it's hell in a cell.

YOU ARE A GOOD MAN MY SON!

THIS IS WHERE I GET ANGRY WITH TODAY'S GRADUATES. WHY DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL IN THE FIRST PLACE IF YOU CANT APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE YOU BOUGHT (THAT IS IF THEY HAVE ANY) WITH YOUR MONEY FROM THE TERTIARY INSTITUTION TO SOLVE LIFE'S PROBLEMS?

YOU GO TO SCHOOL JUST TO GET JOBS?

I ONCE TOLD A GRADUATE TO GO AND ORGANISE THE COMMUNITY YOUTHS AND REFORM THE REVENUE COLLECTION UNIT. BEFORE NOW, THAT UNIT WAS BASICALLY FOR THUGS AND THEY HARASS AND INTIMIDATE PEOPLE JUST TO EXTORT FROM THEM. THOUGH THEY REMIT THE ALLOCATED AMOUNT TO THE LGA BUT THEIR MODUS OPERANDI WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OTHER PART OF THE WORLD. THIS GRADUATE DECLINED AND CONTINUED HIS JOB HUNTING. I GAVE THAT SAME IDEA TO SOMEONE (ANOTHER GRADUATE) AND TODAY HE IS MARRIED, HAVE KIDS AND WAS BUILDING HIS OWN HOME WHEN I SAW HIM LAST. THE OTHER ONE IS STILL JOB HUNTING.

DO YOU KNOW THAT IN THAT COMMUNITY THEY OFFER ELECTRONIC RECEIPTS FOR DEVELOPMENT LEVIES AND REVENUE?

THEY CAN PAY FROM THE COMFORT OF THEIR HOMES?

ALL THESE FROM AN INNOVATIVE MIND WHO DIDN'T LOOK DOWN ON MY IDEA.

THIS ALSO CREATED INDIRECT JOBS AS NEW CYBER CAFES SPRUNG UP IN THE COMMUNITY.

SOMETIMES THE LGA'S ALLOCATE JUST 500,000 NAIRA TO A CERTAIN COMMUNITY. BUT THIS GUYS MAKE X10 OF THAT AMOUNT IN A MONTH. IF NOT FOR THEIR THUGGERY AND ILLITERACY, THEY WOULD BE MILLIONAIRES. SAME THING APPLIES TO COMMERCIAL DRIVERS TOO.


BACK TO YOU MY 11K SALARY SON.

ITS TIME TO QUIT THAT JOB OR ELSE I RECALL YOU.


IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA, THEN RELOCATE TO ABUJA AND GET A CAR FOR UBER/TAXIFY.

AT LEAST I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO MADE GOOD MONEY DOING THAT BUSINESS.

You can even start with zero balance. All you need do is to be sure the person you are supplying to is going to pay you as you drop it.

The day I started 5k was my last card and I needed about 27k to buy the sand and pay the driver his motor balance(truck fare). I was not discouraged. I went to the sand dump, the first driver I met and explained to was so kind and used his money to complete buying of the sand, and when the owner paid me, i balanced him. And the minimum gain u can make is 5k per trip, u can even make close to 17k per trip wen u add dagbo and when u jam a novice.
