Biko sit with your 65k job and stop disturbing me here abeg

Hello Mr Femi, I will be happy if you can help me to get into one of those jobs.

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

I got a remote too but the guy told me to find a hub they can pay for.

I told him my house was comfortable.

That was how I lost it.. 28k pounds

Woah! Sorry about that

philip0906:

My guy easy...she's obviously a tech person and techies (devs,products,QAs,enterprise architects etc) earn that much and higher.

Do cyber security guys and ethical hackers earn up to that amount?

CokeBar:


Woah! Sorry about that

What's your stack?

Are you in lagos

KillerBeauty:

Yeah I use wework. Always get regret mails for all my applications. I've seen jobs for 18$ per hour job but that doesn't translate to 80k a month.
Even crossover for work pay 30k dollars a year for software support engineer position.

80k CAD a month is over stretching it.

Did you get crossover?

I haven't been able to pass the ccat

I'm trying to understand this reply to the question asked.

But I think something is obvious.

Good luck too.

oluwaseyi000:

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


I so much saw the retrenchment coming that I once created a similar thread as this https://www.nairaland.com/5352267/why-how-loose-last-job

abeg which ICT course can a novice go for to get this kind of job?

mtinfx:


It's small
That's IT

In the finance industry
I work as a prop futures trader for a foreign trading firm
I wont accept that currently

I concur with you bro. 2K USD per Month na change in the FX World

Prolificdeman:
Lolx lots of funny here comments shall.

From what I have read so far, our mindset is the biggest hindrance to our progress.

My Boss has a target of $5k — $10 per day. He's a trader and investor.

With Just 1 Standard Lot, a 200 Pips Profit Move with XAU Gold will do the Magic

CokeBar:


Please list out the loopholes then I'll show you my offer and the credit alert for the few days I worked.

I get it sha #750k is too big yeah? Hence I used the word "unbelievable" Remember I said well over #750k... just chill

there are lots of jobs like that

Please what's the dumbest way for dummies to earn a legitimate income online and/remotely?
I would really appreciate it, if you can explain it in such a way that 5-year-old me will understand.

Thank you.

phockallmods:

Do cyber security guys and ethical hackers earn up to that amount?

I really do not know the band for cyber securoty and ethical hackers but I am sure they'll net good wages.

The reason is, these fields are usually for the big firms, banks and multinationals

newinventions:


Bro don't waste your time with Nairalander youth. The way they think is inexplicable.

Our education system don do us something. They send out youth that no longer believe in themselves.

I have long given up on trying to bail people out of the mindset of poverty. A neighbour of mine is earning 5000 euros a month as a python programmer and someone is telling me that no foreign company can pay 750K. What is 750K? $2000 wey some company top wigs use for lunch.

Presently employed on contract though..But imagine a Graduate earn the same basic salary with Intern Students 🤔... I pray for a Career improving firm soon

British High Comission Job
Danish Refugee Job
US consulate Job
Pwc.
IOM
Schlumberger...So many of this Jobs in Nigeria Pays more than that

remove pwc from this list, pwc don't pay that high. salaries there start at about 140k, it's just that it comes with other perks like travel opportunities and stuff. but in terms of pay, rule them out. people just go there for the prestige it brings to your CV

Lies full this thread

adanny01:


So everyone who is paid a salary should quit abi?

If we all go into business, who will fly the planes, control public electricity, produce or regulate money, how will the network providers give you network, the news media will shut down, Buhari will have to drive himself, cook for himself, the police will be absent and the military will tell you OYO etc

Don't deceive yourself, some people are meant to earn money by salary while others are meant to be enterprising.

well Life is a choice, you either work for your dreams (if its big enough) or you work for your boss to achieve his dreams all the rest of your life because your dreams are too pedestrian and basic; clothes, house, food,car etc

Thanks man!

The topic says "if you have ever been fired, share your experience "
But most of you have turned it to arguing people's earnings and salaries, most which is lies from the pit of hell just to intimidate others that probably earn far less.
To those who shared their sacked experiences, thank you. And to those who kept arguing about earning, just place your right hand on your head and say this " my father my father, I have sinned against you and against common sense, please deliver me from any spirit of stupidity and ignorance. Amen.
Oh lest I forget, I know one Mallam in Aso Rock who earns multi million naira weekly for suffering multi millions of people.
Finally, I don't need to introduce myself, even Dangote no see my back
