This has nothing to do with humility.

Going to buy food or biscuits for your senior colleagues at the office is not part of the job description of a junior officer!

Why can't people just refuse to buy food for their senior colleagues?

CheedyJ:
As long as I’m your superior, I go still send you food G-wagon or not & if you like bring Ferrari come d next day e go only make d errands faster ..

na lie. you go think twice before you send am again. he has created an uncertain air around him. also, no matter the level a worker is, it is unethical to send him on an errand that is not company/work related. so if you send am again, if the guy take am up, you fit loose your job.

I can relate with this...

I remember in 2007 when a senior female colleague was always in the habit of sending me on silly errands...one day I went to work with a brand new Toyota Corolla (Bank type) which was the latest model at that time.

Needless to say that was the last time she ever sent me on any useless errand

Did you have to come with a Toyota Corolla? Why not just blatantly refuse based on the fact that it's not in your job description?

I have always said it that the problem of this country is not the leaders but the people in it. The same citizens shouting "end SARS" and calling for good leadership are the same ones abusing their senior positions to send junior ones on errands, an activity not in the job description of the junior ones. Even lecturers/supervisors will implicitly demand wine, bag of rice, cash and other stuffs before they can give you your MSc and PhD; this is a serious abuse of power. Even military men abuse their powers over civilians. The same SARS operatives (and even police) are abusing their powers to rob and kill civilians. Put the average citizen in a top political position and you will get the same looting, indifference towards the masses, and abuse of power. There are many more examples. In short, the average Nigerian is an animal and dictator, one that finds it incredibly difficult to simply obey traffic light, develop a good maintenance culture, and put used nylons and plastic in the trash can.

What was the G-Wagon to prove?

Even if the guy dey trek, he is under no bloody obligation to get u food or anyone else... Afterall its not part of his job description. Nigerians are mostly stupid and wicked in nature hence we abuse little positions given to us. If ur organization too dope why dem no assign person to dey go those food errands na junior colleague u dey send message. Then when him put something join ur food u go sick for two weeks then die throway like homeless dog. No be only superior. Kuku join army na

Exactly... Its not in the job description so shove it. At the bold u just nailed it man

NuclearReactor:
You think starting a company where you have other executives and you become CEO is beans

Even na barbing salon I start all join , I hate being under someone , unless I don't have the money

With gwagoon money I can set up a cool business

SavageResponse:
It's mostly females that do that rubbish

If it were possible some female workers would ask their junior colleagues to physically carry them to the toilet when they need to ease themself

Females are easily intoxicated by power. You might think you and a female co-worker are on good standing, but she becomes something hideous towards you and everyone when she is promoted to a position of authority. Seen it happen many times. Even the females, not all, who gain admission before you, or maybe you repeated a class in uni or life placed you below them, will give you some attitude when you see them on the road; they will probably snub you and treat you like trash. I have seen this happen to friends and acquaintances. Even females are victims of this COMMON attitude by females.

The person they become after they have power or get married is their true self all along.

Honestly, I am still yet to understand why one can't say "no, it's not in my job description."

So, we shul now fry dodo?

If na me be the lady, i go send you again...dis tym you must go mama ebuka place go buy fufu

Nonsense and ingredients


A simple 'NO' would have corrected the whole thing...

Nobody done ever send me on such errands because i never started from those lowly bottom positions while i used to work for some organization. I just hate our love for abusing little power given to us and yet we blame our leaders for doing same. Its just stupidity. And for those running errands for them its a pity they don't know their rights as employees.. Starting at the bottom is okay but being used by everyone is just simply stupidity at the highest... Lol u say make i nor take serious matter seriously.. na wah for u oo

If you refused to go on errands then your days are numbered especially in govt establishments besides it’s an opportunity to get on d good sides of your bosses so, when promotions show dem go fit push you .. anyways, I agree with you that it’s an abuse of power but that’s d sad reality of most Nigerian work place ...

Shellsploit:
Hope its not Innoson G-Wagon!

That's the problem we hustle favour instead of hustling to be the best and most capable hands should the need arise to fill in any gap. I understand its the Naija situation especially govt jobs that they pay in cow shitt. It is well

i dont get it
does his work in the private company involve his superior sending him message to go and buy rice and pepsi for her

It is what humility is all about. Forming a strong head and stubborn takes you nowhere.

As a junior colleague or an intern, you'll definitely be disrespected and ordered around. One way or another You'll surely serve before you become boss.

Just asking...

you should have known that its stolen money by his dad or uncle or him through internet scam

only in a Nigerian work setting where some airheads who got promoted to their current position by luck or charm or sexcapedes feel so entitled to order junior colleagues around.


Honestly Buhari seems to be the true President that reflects who most Nigerians are

Mr man, it's not just Nigeria, it's everywhere. If you can't be humble, go become an entrepreneur, and be your own boss.

Hmmm bruh, you can be a boss at the comfort of your home. But in your workplace, where you have people higher than you, please be humble.

Driving a G wagon doesn't mean you'll beat their rank overnight. Work hard and attain to their level so you'll be the one sending people on an errand.

rank ke.. He get money ..who send rank

Cutehector:

Let him quit the job and go enjoy his money then.

smiles. Some people even if they sleep are still making money, so they just want to be going out in the morning and hanging out with people.

So many ways to make money darling. Be open minded.

Nice.

I no fit send person to buy food wey I go eat.

Women learn.

You clearly don't know what humility is. Being willing to be unjustly kicked about by someone superior when you can say a simple "no" and resist on good grounds is not humility. I won't be surprised if you are just like the women who send junior colleagues on errands because they are in senior positions; maybe that's why you are typing the nonsense you have been typing all over this thread.

Life is not hard. If you cant conform they send you packing. You can go and use the g wagon too do uber no on cares. Everyone works Thier way to the top.
Don't be surprised that stupid kid will not find anything wrong sending someone below him on errands. Humility gets you to the top. If you cant conform then fvck off
