But Op didn't they give you a reason for the termination? So you'll really know if it's about you or the company, I remember back then in my office we opened a fast food restaurant and we were looking for a manager, one of the applicants was a smooth talker gosh my boss was so impressed with the interview he even increased the proposed salary by 20% much to the chagrin of I and my colleague as we had been asking for a salary raise but he kept posting us. Fast forward to when he got the job it was a totally different thing we saw, my boss was so disappointed he considered contacting his former office to find out why he left, he couldn't perform all the sugar talks he said at the interview, 2 months later he got sacked I felt sad on his behalf but it was necessary. 3 Likes |

You spoke about everything but the reason you were sacked. Hmmm... you are withholding vital information. Perhaps, you didn't deliver on all you promised ? 1 Like |

Adebaba1:You should have mentioned it to them you are still learning java instead of giving them the impression you were good at it. You went chasing waterfalls when you should have stuck to the rivers and lakes you were used to "Now omi ti gbeyin wo express" I think that's one thing you and the op has in common |

I've been here twice. And it's very difficult to know enough about the company's culture until you get in. But you know what? Never agree to resume immediately, especially when you have to resign form your current job, or you have other offers to consider. No matter what, ask for a minimum of two weeks' even if you're not currently employed. Use the time before assuming your new role to carry out a background check into the company. Visit their website, check them out on LinkedIn and all their employees who have a profile... size them up.. check the length of time each of those employees have stayed in the company. It's also okay to reach out to a current employee and ask them questions about the company. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Ikjosh04: Exactly what I've been saying. We cover up bad practices too much. If companies knew their reputation would be at stake, they'll do better. More people need to give plain unhdden reviews about companies and their experiences while gehy worked there. 2 Likes |

Abudu2000: Uncle were you there? Imagine using "that's what happened...". What happened to the word "probably"? The fact that you think you are in a better position does not give you the right to look down on others or think that they are not as good as you. As far as the OP is concerned, he may even be better than you are. It's not nice to speak that way about others, even if/when you feel they are not good enough. Learn compassion. 9 Likes |

wunmi590:Give us more detail/major things that happened during the job. You may get needed help. A lawyer or human right might help. Why shd they sack you with immediate effect and within few months of resumption?Was a gross misconduct on your own part? |

OP is withholding certain information. I am not harsh and insensitive but note that there are companies that are very impatient with new hires, especially if you promised heaven and earth during the interview and your actual performance is below par. Companies could only give you time to grow if hired as a trainee, graduate or management trainee. But if you come in as an experienced hire, note that the expectations would be high and you need to up your game. As a new and experienced hire in any organisation, never relax, create the first good impression and continue to show where you have added value from what you met on ground. OP, ask them why you were sacked. I am sure it may not be far from job performance or adaptation related issues. 2 Likes |

Abudu2000: Funny you. Me? Have problem with understanding write-ups? I knew you would definitely attack, because that seems like your kind of person (note that I didn't use "that's your kind of person" which was what I was trying to correct you on). I wanted to "reply" you at the onset of my typing of this message but won't stoop low. You can take correction and move on. We learn everyday. P.S: By the way,always start your statements with a capital letter and it's "unconfronted". 2 Likes |

IamAsiri:see how smart i am, I created that bait purpose and like a mot u came right to the flame. Other parts of the world study to acquire the knowledge so as to make the world a better place but Nigerians study to prove their families wrong and to intimidate others by pointing out the wrong punctuations. I spend more of my time on foreign discussion threads and whenever a Nigerian comment it is always so obvious and different. That negativity is what u can take from us. Bye!! |

Mac2016: Me gross misconduct, I'm far from that, if it has been a bad situation like stealing and doing shady things, I wouldn't have even come up here. I guess the company doesn't need me anymore and they feel I should leave. |

I left a state government Univ as an assistant lecturer 2 to take up a job as a senior lecturer in a private university. The pay was x3 of my salary....besides I jumped 6yrs of normal promotion. 2years after, I was retrenched amongst 100 others. They said "technology replaced us"....Lol....We all knew their was no money due to the pandemic and the student enrolment in the Bowen University was nothing to write home about. The school was only trying to save face.... I felt like dying. My 3rd baby had just been born. I started regretting leaving a stable place. For the 1st time, I saw tears fall from my wife's eyes....we made a mistake of investing all the money coming into a house we were building in Ibadan without knowing the sack would happen...big mistake Those tears inspired me....8months later, I got another job, same position same salary.....2 months after I got another job in Abuja that will be x3 of my current salary.... Decision decision all over again..... Since the two University are private schools, I had to choose the highest paying one...if i need to eat frog, i should just make sure its fattened atleast......Now, I have learnt that I should never invest more than 50% of my savings....emergency fund should always be untouched. 2days ago, another offer came...but the pay is lesser so am staying put here... Keep your head up bro....and pray to God for direction...things will take shape. Now my family have forgotten months of uncertainty. 8 Likes |
