Its not as if we are saying its a lie but hearing sumbdy earning diz amount in diz country is very very rare

lebete3000:


When I tell people the average Nigerian's mindset has already been bastardized, people say I'm too negative.

Here's someone saying "apparently I wasn't supposed to ask for assistance" in a test, as if she didn't even know that before. In our days, the kain fear wey you go fear b4 you even answer person wey ask you question, let alone the person asking it.

Well it's all good for peeps like us sha, it would make working with civilized people easier for us, as we still got that old culture and tradition of being afraid to cheat, so will rather fail honorably.

For the kids of this generation however, all I can say is

Mariangeles:

#750k is not that big an amount to be unbelievable.

iamJ:
you believe the story


It's a set up to lure for a later scam


They are priming us

kunki90:
Lol, Mine is kinda funny.
Then I used to work as a remote digital marketer for an app. My job was to Increase app downloads on playstore and app store. The issue was that my boss, did not want to spend much yet he expected gigantic results- high number of downloads for so little dollar promotions. Eventually, I could not meet the monthly targets as I was working with a meagre budget. Months into the job, I saw the same job position I was in advertised as vacant on the company facebook page. I wan die that morning

It wasn't funny then o, but now we thank God sha

I accessed the server I created for my organization out of office and that was it.

@ op What area of IT are you into?

For 2 months I was still consulted to train the new IT guy

Why we were fired?
I joined this company last year, few days after finishing my NYSC, they have the highest number of software developers in Africa and I was loving life, the salary is great with breakfast and lunch

They keep on employing so many software engineer with time the engineer become more than the available job, I saw it coming but I don't know what the board was thinking

2. How did the firing process happen?
We have a global (online) meeting which people are asked not to miss, I was not even listening very well to what they are saying, the president said there are more developer than engagement to they have to let some people go, a mail was sent to all impacted people and I discovered what has just happened

Almost 400 people has been fired across Africa

3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?

The company is actually a great one, they brought in pychologist to speak with us, bring in different recruiter, and other stuff, most importantly the payoff was reasonable that I can afford a Mac laptop of almost half-a-million

Luckily for me I got another reasonable job in less than 3 weeks of been retrenched


I always laugh when people complain there is no job in Nigeria, less than 5 month after leaving my previous company I have turned down almost 4 other offers some even paying than my current one

Flier:
Dont hurt yourself she’s probably lying,they don’t pay 750k to learner monthly
Those that earn such amount monthly works with bank not a learner like this poster

philip0906:

That's the exact reason why I used that analogy.

I work in tech and everyone around me earns in that region and higher. So for a techie, when you hear someone earns that much, it's not rare to you. I am not even talking about oil and gas peeps.

So it's not rare per se...just depends on your field and industry.

CokeBar:


Please talk and also ask for evidence... because you never see #750k nor mean say e nor dey happen

SmartyPants:


You cheated... Sorry, but you deserved it. Happy you have another job, and I hope you have learned your lesson.

mayor10:




Oya repeat after me.
Oh Lord my father, rewrite my story.


Bankers don't earn that much sef, you only earn that much as an IT personnel, consultant or maybe a business developer..my friend who's just 23 earns 1.3million and still has remote jobs.he's already a senior developer at that age.

iamJ:
that's 2000 dollars


A combined viewership for a YouTube channel with 20mill views that if they monetize you, you get 20k dollars

Making money online isnt easy dont fall for this scam

fergie001:
Worked somewhere in Lagos, salary wasn't big but at least it was taking me home.

I was close to a babe like that, not dating but we were close.
It continued like that, little did I know some Ogas were peer-reviewing and she no gree, so they felt I was the cause.

It was a job we did 6 days a week and in shifts. She and I were on same shift.

One day, She and I were called up to the HR and told that our activities were becoming too close..Does it affect our work? Do we come together to work? Do we live together?...they just told us one person had to go.

I stood up and signed the damn letter and moved out of the state. She was to come join me in my new place of work 3 months later.

Mrshape:
mine: I was not fired but I loss the job because of let me say greediness on my part.
I am a mathematics teacher I do private lessons,
So this woman called me for lesson, I billed her 100K per month (three times a week one hour thirty minutes each)

She begged for #60,000 I said no my last is 80K
(i don't know the spirit that was speaking on my behalf because I know that was not me, maybe the spirit of one of those motivational speakers saying never settle for less)

But my current lessons are far below are offer at that time.

When I reach house the regret I have, I have never had that in my life, well, it was a lesson that helped me in future negotiations

CokeBar, sorry about your loss

Please what network and data subscription did you use?

I always avoid full-time freelance position because of data

My laptop drinks data like water

Stallion93:
Don’t give us half information here, What is your aim of telling us? We should go and beg for you or what? State in Clear terms what role your played in that company that Warrants 750k per month? what Company it is actually? and How some of us here can get your kind of connection?

Roadtoyesterday:
We started the work as a field agent sometime last year, I was still in my final year in school when I joined. 4 months into the job I was made the supervisor, when I became, I notice the agents were been short changed, in terms of benefits, I tried working on the irregularities but it bounced back to me, gbam I was fired for lodging a complaint on the delayed salaries of the workers.

A. Month after, my depth profile became so high, I was the one supporting my family and sponsoring my junior ones. I hate myself for trying to be holier than thou while at work. Till this moment, I've not gained myself. I've lost everything.

CokeBar:
Share your experience with us if you have ever been fired. It would be better if we can share:

1. Why we were fired?
2. How did the firing process happen?
3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?

So, I’ll start:

Sometimes last year, I got an unbelievable offer (well above #750k) at a remote company. I bought a PC, subscribed for large data and set-up a workspace. On Monday which was resumption day, I turned on my PC, logged in and started the online meeting… everything went well for the first day and I got introduced to my colleagues. My friend and I actually got employed for same position, so we usually chatted while working. To be onboarded, we had to install a productivity monitoring tool on our PCs, we were told everything we did on the PC would be captured if the tool was turned ON but I really don’t know why I cared less.

On Wednesday same week, we had a short and simple test, during the test, I asked my friend for an answer as I wasn’t so sure, he responded and that was it.

On Thursday, I had a quick one-on-one call with my manager, I was fired. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to ask for assistance while taking the test. I apologized but the answer was a straight NO (you sabi how oyinbo people strict). So in other words, I was sacked because I cheated ☹.

Well, they paid me for the few days I worked �

I have experienced other sad situations, but this has to be the worst. I was so depressed, the following Sunday, I went to Church and it was while Pastor asked us to greet our neighbor, I remembered I didn’t brush… LMAO.

Now, I got something with abit lesser pay but still very chilled

give it time.. You go experience am

LifeIsGuhd:
i haven't xperienced that before o
I hope I dont too.

lalasticlala please push lets see people's experiences.
