Hey guys!

In celebration of my club, AC MILAN winning the Scudetto and becoming Champions of the Serie A, I am doing a give away of $10 worth of data/ call credit to the first 6 recognized handles, irrespective of club affiliation (priority will be given to known Milan fans though) from the European Football section resident in Nigeria.

Please be considerate and honest, do not use multiple handles. The line must be one of the popular networks for easy transaction. You are welcome to mention me on the official Milan thread or a dead thread for your $10 worth of data, I promise to be fair as I will be using the time of mention. Also kindly acknowledge after receipt of the credit.

There are always better people for the job.
Nobody is indispensable.

Absolutely. But it's getting harder to get people that are actually ready to work.

That's the challenge most businesses are facing right now.

Y are u all resuming to work when u like as well? That's not fair u know?

He's only telling u to take ur work seriously cos there are many people out there seeking for job

But if he knows what's good for him, he sud better keep grooming and managing you guys cos these generation (gen z) outside there seeking for job do not really care, those ones been giving HRs headache since the moment they were born. They can't be better than u guys.

You people sud adjust too and stop getting to work late biko.

You're right. Recruitment and Staffing be messing with HR's mental health.

I doubt if he can get 10 qualified candidates from those 150 applications.
OP, You guys should adjust and do your work with diligence.... Everything's gonna be fine.

It's not easy to pay salaries as well. You should know that.

This morning we were called for a briefing in my office and said he noticed we usually come to work anytime we like. What got everyone angry was after the complain, he said we should put it in mind that he has more than 150 application letters. That was were he stopped and we all know the meaning of that. That was really wrong of him.

What's the normal resumption time?
And what time do you guys resume?

ibrocool:
I have always loved Ancelloti since his days as AC Milan coach. His achievement started with Milan and I hope it ends with Milan.

He won the champions League with Milan with average age of 32 years. I just kept wondering, how did he managed that?

Milan were in top form in 2007. That was just a year after Italy won the World Cup.

MadamVanessa:
shocked

Ola Rotimi , exposed the evil in afonja land in his work "The gods are not to be blame"

How can afonja fugitive boy Odewale killed his father unapologetically , just to marry his mother so to pound the same toto that birthed him and he did it. What a despicable act .


Before Ola conceived this story and write it down, it was something that was rampant in afonja land.

The gods should not be blame when the repercussion of afonjas foolishnes and stupidity come knocking. Such happened again,when they all voted in Buhari just to spite the south southerners and south easterners, but Buhari brothers came and dealt with them seriously, till they all scamper to Benin republic. Should the gods be blame for this? No. shocked


Be calming down. The gods are not to blame was an adaptation of Oedipus Rex.

Oyindamolah:

I resigned from my job 8 months ago (July). I worked with this firm for one full year. It was a rollercoaster ride. I used to be very proactive and full of energy, going all out to achieve things no matter what was at stake.

When I took up this job last year, I was hoping to build a career and carve a niche for myself... But I was wrong. Before I resumed, a lot of people had resigned. Even on the day I resumed, I met just one staff on ground (he was trying to buy time before he eventually quits). So we were just two (2) in the office. It felt awkward because the environment wasn't challenging and competitive enough for me, but I had to do what was expected of me. Till the day I resigned, I was not found wanting in any aspect.. But I guess that was where everything went wrong. I was taken advantage of, used and manipulated.
My boss was a chronic micromanager and very insecure.

Despite all these, I tried to allay his fears and made sure I did my best to assure him nothing would ever go wrong. He abuses us verbally with words I'm so ashamed to type here. When the other guy eventually resigned, I was left all alone with him. I took up his responsibilities coupled with mine. I was overworking myself every single day of the week. I became a shadow of myself and always felt sick whenever I get up from bed every morning. I was doing this for 4months till we were able to get a replacement for the guy. And believe you me, we were recruiting every month afterwards till I left because they were always resigning or should I say disappearing after the end of every month. So we practically had a new staff who would work for a month and disappear. And the reason was not far fetched, My Boss. He believes all job seekers are hungry and would take anything just for the cash (stipends). You can imagine a graduate bring sent on so many ridiculous domestic errands.

Though I'm not oblivious of the fact that it's not easy to set up a business here in Nigeria or even to pay salaries. I know what it takes, but that doesn't mean you should now use people like slaves.

As a service provider, you should know how to handle your clients, but this man would talk to them anyhow, insult them and then expect me to fix the mess or else I won't get paid. And because I was ready to do anything just for the progress of the company, he believed I had no choice. But I'm the kind of person that hates being idle. Hence, the reason for not seeing it as a big deal. Then came a time, I was at my wits end, couldn't go on anymore. I lost all motivation and up till now.

One of the most painful thing I heard after I left was when someone from the office called to tell me what happened that day. Sometimes, I usually use my money to quickly do some little office stuffs if the man is not around. So there were lapses after I left, he now asked what was really going on. So the guy on ground told him what I usually did.. And his response , "if I knew I had money, why did I come to work then?" Imagine. I felt so disappointed!

This is the same man that would refund you if you tell him you spent your money for the company, then go ahead to deduct it from your salary at the end of the month after looking for excuses or an offence you didn't commit.

Now, most people here in Lagos go through same or worse ordeal every single day. Leave home early, get abused at work, get home late. Looking rough and tired all for a pay that won't last up to 2weeks. I pity the married folks more, they can't resign/quit because they've got bills to pay, responsibilities (wife and kids), some even have girlfriends, they're stuck. I also have responsibilities and bills though, but thank God I'm still single.

This is the time to go all out and take chances, take risks and it will definitely pay off in the end. I've been able to focus more since I resigned, sleep well, eat well, learning some digital skills to boost my CV and running a little business of mine. Though it's not been easy, but I know I'm on the right path.

This is the concluding part of the story, 2019.
