These last few months have been very dramatic to say the least. From marriage proposal gone wrong (link to the story) to having my heart completely shattered by a painful discovery (link to the second story). This event really had its toll on my performance at my workplace. It was during that period that our former branch manager was transferred to Lagos while his replacement was transferred from Port Harcourt to head our Abuja branch. The personalities of the two managers are contrasting. Our old Mr. Mark is a kind of boss that many employees will always pray to work with; A generous, kind and loving man in his late 50s that we all related with as our big brother in service. Many of us could not hold back our tears during his sent forth party as we all had wonderful experiences and testimonies to share.

On the other hand, we now have our new boss, Miss Tinuke. She recently marked her 40th birthday some few days before reporting to Abuja office. She is so hot-tempered that we nicknamed her Miss lioness. She is very harsh both in words and actions. I cannot count the number of times she has made many of our female colleagues to shed tears from her hurtful words. Some of the rumors flying around had it that she is bitter because she is unmarried at her age and feels jealous of younger employees in relationship.

It was on a sunny Friday afternoon, barely three weeks after her resumption that I was summoned to her office. As I entered her office, she neither looked up nor offered me a seat. All I heard was; “Mr. Ben, I am just going through your file and I must admit that this is quite surprising. How on earth has Mr. Mark been rating your performance as excellence in the last five years. This is complete opposite of what I have observed in my few weeks of engagement. Your deliverables lack quality and certainly need a second review before been sent out to our customers. I think Mr. Mark was too lenient with you as this is clearly below standard and not acceptable for an employee at your level”. These were her words and they sank right into my healing heart. As she was hurling those words at me, she was busy typing on her MacBook. She told me clearly that she would have recommended me to HR to be relieved of my job due to competency issue, but it will be contrasting the recent yearly employee performance appraisal submitted by Mr. Mark. Finally, she said, “I will keep your file under monitoring, you may leave”. I left her office without saying a word.

Are you a blogger or wat

Anyways, fear women in power...95% of dem are not worthy of bn given power and/or authority.

It's time for you and others to seat up

There is a new sheriff in town and being a woman, pls seat up

Her tentacles are spreading everywhere no one is left out

Don't be the scape goat

Bros do not join other colleagues to gossip about her (your new boss), focus on delivering good performance consistently. Gossip will make your mind to focus on the bad side of your new boss which will always make you deliver erroneous performance.

Except u have a new job elsewhere

shey u go listen to me? abi u no go listen?


alaye, she wants you in the other room.. up your game and dont disappoint her..

orijin would work well for you, if you know you know.. dont miss this opportunity

this is why woman not be in power, because they don't have testicles , man are created to keep anger in it testicles but woman can't because they don't have it. why they are very aggressive

Just don't listen to rumors and try to do your best at your job.

VeeVeeMyLuv is right

pray never to work under these types of women: unmarried evening newspaper, Nigerian feminists(these ones are as foolish as fvck), the bossy types. These types of people are so difficult to satisfy.

well op, If you have not been doing your best, it hightime you started. however if you have been doing your best then the issue is you have to be doing it to please your boss, i mean do it the way your boss want it, "dont be like she met me here" seek advice from her on work if need be, till you are able to secure better appointment.

You need to up your game and improve on the quality of your deliverables.

Also remember that your boss is your boss whether she is female or younger than you is irrelevant...giver her her due respect!

Women are demanding but the problem is they overdo it

Be more serious n committed, do your best at every task given to you n never try to impress her, disengage yourself from people gossiping about her n start serious savings for backup cus things might go bad..... Just take off the whole film n focus.

These days are evil.

Strange Things are Happening in my Office (part 2)

My Schengen Visa application process went smoothly. I picked up my stamped passport after 2 weeks from submission date. I spent the six hours of flight time from Abuja to Paris thinking about the miracle. It was really a miracle to have moved from ‘sack threat’ to representing the branch in the company’s annual retreat. I knew I bounced back with full force, but I was not sure if that was enough to impress Miss Tinuke to the extent of nominating me for the retreat. I could not find any logical answer to soundly justify the mystery. Finally, we arrived at Paris-Charles De Gaulle’s airport. I took the train from the airport straight to Gare du Nord which is the closest train station to my hotel located on Deux Gares street.

The retreat lasted for 10 days. It was awesome as we had a lot of team building activities with interesting seminars. Also, great insights were shared by top management and it was an opportunity to network with colleagues from other countries. It was also an avenue to meet in person and even take selfies with big names on our company page. We had so much to eat ranging from croissant, falafel, duck confit, couscous, Steak frites and so many other tasting delicious Parisian delicacies. A lot of chocolates including chocolates filled with alcohol were available for munching. There was no restriction on drinks as both alcoholic and non-alcoholic wines were readily available. The retreat ended with a ship cruise on Seine river and a visit to.....
