Emma4321:If you wont say am saying rubbish, the best for you is to quit honourably and find a business worth donig and if there is no capital to start a business I dont know your age but if you set a target of 3 months you can learn a skill and be the boss of yourself, depending on how smart you are. Let me use my personal story as an example, after graduating search for jobs no show, I got a secondary school in shagamu, ogun state where am been paid #10.000 with extra lesson fee, sometimes half payment imagine, so i thought i cannot continue like this cos there is no way such will accumulate to rent house and people that are suppose to help you carry the tag He's working, long story short I collected last salary register in a saloon as apprentice for 3months but within 2 months am confident of myself, I started taxing family and friends for money to set up. I was able to raise small money got a shop lo and behold as I got the shop, scale of preference set in, nobody selling gas in the street, i did feasibility study on cooking gas and realize its best in the location than barbing. I had no idea abt it and I already had a shop thats how I paused for 2 weeks to know more about gas before I conclude I found the Gas to be better. Thats how i started my life with a gas retail shop and after like a year i was able to gather money to setup my barbing saloon elsewhere which I really had passion for. So in a nutshell if you are afraid if you quit you will not have anything doing rethink cos despite not quitting you are not gaining anything. Make a plan and step up on it to make it work. Dont ever think you are too old to learn a skill cos you are a graduate. Now I have someone working for me collecting more than salary I was receiving when I was teaching in a private school and am afraid to quit cos of fear. Take a bold step and work towards it. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Quit the job before it quits you. It's a distraction. Sometimes the new would only come when you get rid of the old. And then, believe something new is on the way. Again, quit and start a job search. God will cause his face to shine on you by giving you a better opportunity. All the best. 5 Likes |

Doktajay5: 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. 2 Likes |

Emma4321: To do well in the Nigerian job market, you need experience. Any job you can do that will add to your experience, needed experience, do it. Coupled with a Master's or some form of post graduate training will be added amunition to excel in the job market. After a maximum period of 5 years gaining experience, white collar jobs with good pay should be within your reach., The problem is that most graduates want the best paying jobs once they graduate. It's not so for most but if you can work towards gaining that experience, thing can improve vastly for you. Be ready to make that 5 years maximum sacrifice. 2 Likes |

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. 1 Like |

Bros U were too comfortable with the 11' that U neva realise U were growing. More than a year promise. Bros look for another work and not a job again. Unless if U re a fake life person that found some works irritating. Myself as an example: I worked in a printing press under AC,when the work start dey skip, I go continue the work my GRANDFATHER taught me back then in secondry school(painting). Small small someone saw me with my working cloth offer me work. My first direct work land me 4 Lagos. Even sales boy dey collect 15k |

DrObiHogan: OK, I'll ask u again. Comparatively, what do u think this 11k is doing in the life of this guy looking at the prevailing circumstances..as a reason to stay cos I came make from u that's the reason he should stay... If I may ask, why is ur view only about job hunting from there... More so a white collar job, Like that of a microfinance bank or what ever salary job with no bergaining strength say maybe a skill with which he can provide a salable service... Why r u not seeing the bigger picture.. Well is ur opinion, but I don't think is good enough for that guy. Please don't push it. That guy deserves better than ur advice. 8 Likes |

You made valid points but telling him to relocate abj for uber business maybe foolery especially if he can't afford a car atm and even a place to lay his head in Abuja.. but then I agree with you that he could get better if he resigns from that job tho KingSatan: |

Re: Should I Quit My Job Or Not? by AreaFada2: 2:19am On Aug 02, 2019 |
11k in a bank. Ah ah! Op did you make this up? If true that manager is very wicked. They cannot even match minimum wage of 18k. If you can use that position to gain valuable experience and network aggressively and move on, stay on a bit longer. If you know you cannot gain anything tangible from it, use the little exposure you have got so far to re-strategise. If you are really fed up with it, play your last card. Give a deadline beyond which you cannot continue on the job. Unless offered something else or better pay. Explain why politely. If you're fired, you know you have no regret. If you succeed, even better. Sadly legions are lining up to take that job when you leave. Just to escape boredom and nagging parent at home. 4 Likes |
