I understand you but there's how you go about such things without your boss getting angry. You should have spoken to him in a subtle manner and in a corner, you embarrassed him so he has to embarrass you as well! No be only you be ITK? Safe am for you personal biz

in a critic session, you look at a design and you criticise it openly. You can even say it's poo...you can say anything good or bad about the design....Infact my interview test was to criticise a design ...i

andyanders:
Exactly. In fact, op need to check if he actually went to school. How dear you start questioning your boss in the presence of his staff. If he felt to add anything, why not go to him in person in his office to tell him of his own views.

that is why it is a critic session... you can say anything openly. You can even say "I don't like the design" that is why you are bin paid...

nkemdi89:
Go and try it in regimental service if dismissal with not visit you, even when your superior is not getting it right they charge you for insubordination.

and your life will come to an end?

johnsonjosbles:
even if the boss is seun's friend. He no go do anything, we know their type! Na 30k over sabi boss they pay as salary, it makes no diff if they sack.

well ur opinion...

Psoul:
Peter, bosses beliv dey kw it all. Never tell ur boss dat he is wrong or his opinion is wrong. U rather say to him, sir wot if we do it like dis or like dat, will it be good or will it give us d desired result?

A colleague of mine made dat same mistake of urs. Probably trying to impress our MD with his wealth of knowledge. Guess wot d MD told him. "U've dis kind of beautiful ideas and u r still here working 4 someone instead of using it to develope ur own company, u must be a mad man"

yeah never say your boss is wrong....Then why does he disturbs us with critic sessions...no be him tell me say I free to criticise? criticism was one of my selling points when he hire me ooo

....Well I have read quite a lot, the truth is I am not scared of getting fired. In fact I always have my CV dusted every morning. I have also turned down offers due to distance and stress. I am constantly searching so I don't even care if my boss have a NL account or anyone in the firm who cares? I don't know why we are always scared especially when it comes to employment stuffs. Truth be told, you that is earning six or seven digits for more than ten years have you built a castle in banana island? Or do you have a private jet? The truth is we work just to keep body and soul together. People have this notion that having a job means a successful life, for me it's far from it. If I get a sack tomorrow kudos...my life won't end.....and for the 48 laws of power...I guess with all those ideas you won't even win a council seat in your ward....life is once don't live in fear...let alone fear of being sacked....mtcheeeewww...

Alxmyr:
He needs to fire you immediately.
You are incompetent and should not be trusted with responsibility.
Imagine, your arrogance does not even let you know that you are to assist someone he gave the responsibility to. Thereby, you should have discuss your design with the man and if at all there is need for your input, the input should come through the man that has the responsibility for the job and not you.
This is insubordination.

you are funny bro, so you think everyone resumes to the office? No he resumed in another site so you expected me to wait until he comes back?...thanks for your opinion anyway

Christmasdon:
Op i know your type back then in the secondary school class room!

looooooooooolllll......you funny die

MissIndependent:
Don't mind the silly mofos and if @ssPeter didn't say anything during the meeting, the same boss will say he lack idea or don't have anything to say, he is not intelligent etc peeps writing rubbish on Nairaland!

babe you are intelligent....thumbs up

Anoneism:
So Peter you have the gut to come on Nairaland to report my matter? I scolded you in the office just to correct you and you misunderstood it to mean something else. As if that's not enough, you brought the matter here so that Oga Seun go sack me from Nairaland ba? okkkkk, Peter you're hereby FIRED!!!!!!!! !!!! I don't want to see you in my office company again.

Guy as I dey like this I am prepared for sack...I don sack myself before I got here so sacking no dey fear me

GreenBobo:
You tried to outshine the master
You're even lucky you're still in one piece!
Learn your lessons and move on with your life!

Not trying to outshine, it is a critic session you are meant to contribute if you have something to say

chymystique:
Lol.. That's what ITK can cause.. Take it as a life lesson and not like its belittling.. its normal for bosses to talk like that cause they feel they know more than you..
You should be glad he didnt even make some terrible remarks when you gave him your own design...

Naaahhh when ever we about to make a proposal during critic sessions you say your mind about the proposed design. I did the right thing as the procedure requires waited for him to be through and I pointed out his error.......well sha I no blame am....

gsalvatore:
Peter you are a retard.

You should be ashamed of washing your stupid garment on Nairaland.

If you are brilliant and smart, How come you are working for him?

You are even supposed to DATA MINE your boss's brain while you work for him..BUT YOU ARE VERY ARROGANT.

Lastly, You failed the first RULE....The RULE N0 1.

THOU SHALL NOT OUTSHINE THY MASTER.



How old are you again?

guy that is why we have critic sessions becos no body knows it all. It critic sessions you are free to criticise your boss work....

PresVA:
ITK.. You know more than the owner of the company. . What a sweet reply from your boss...

You didn't like the humiliation he gave you but you were fast in pointing out his 'mistakes' in front of everyone rudely. .

He saw your design already but decided to do what he thought was best for his company, so what's your prob? Abi must he follow your drawing?

You already did your job, you should hv allowed him to do his!

it was not as quickly as u assume, I waited for him to be through....anyway I no blame am sha....when you decide to keep shut they start saying you are contributing ntn to the firm

maiahsaiah:
Dats how they all are, I remember when a certain boss of mine gave me a marketing proposal he wrote to proof-read, I did so and when he asked me for my opinion I told him and instead of looking into the matter he was telling me he is older than me, what has age got to do with it?

loooooooolllllllllllll .......that your boss's funny oooo.....lol

I felt breaking my boss head after he made some derogatory comments that got me angry and belittled.....

Yesterday a colleague and I went to take measurements of a bank for renovation works in one of the tertiary institution in ogun state. My colleague been the senior was given the full details and equipment needed. When we got to ogun state, he gave me the equipment (tape and camera) and asked me if I could do it that he has a babe in the school. I said yes and he gave me extra 3k I guess that was to shut me up.

After taking the measurement of the floor area in the banking hall and other adjoining spaces, I took pictures of the tiles and ceilings just to show my boss that they were in a very poor state. When I got back home I used my computer to scale the measurements and then redesigned the banking hall.

The main aim of the renovation was to increase the number of cubicles in the banking hall from 3 to 7. Today when I got to the office, I gave my boss the report and showed the the proposed design I made, he said "Great". During critic session I was surprised that the initial drawing was brought out and he was redoing the design. Well I no talk, I watched until he was done instructing the architect. Then I compared his proposed design with mine and I quickly pointed out to him that he has used up much space for circulation moreover our cubicle spatial analysis is till the same.

He called me Peter!!! ....what year were you born I told him, he said that was the year I started this company. If you have things in your head keep it. When you establish your firm, use it. Na so everybody dey look me like say I shit for body. See me wey for just keep quite....If it were to be somewhere else, Na orijin bottle I for arrange untop him head...............that is why I keep praying for a multinational firm....abeg make I quickly go check my shell application status....

yorex2011:
Tips for the second test
Ensure you read the title of the tables/charts properly.
For fast percentage difference eg by wat percentage is 20 greater than 17..just do 20/17 then subtract 1..that'll give you the percentage..
Then by what percentage is 17 less than 20..wud be 17/20..then subtract the answer from 1

For quick percentage increment multiply by (1 + percentage) eg increase 28 by 12 %.. 28 * 1.12

For ratios, use you eyes.. Eg 11. 1 : 5.9 is very close to 11:6

yorex my guy you rememba me? Dat ur guy wey dey sip Mc dowell so that him eye go clear....my guy I don write the second test finish o, abeg see wetin dem reason me I no understand. Abeg na the same thing you get?.........................................................

OP, You are confused

Accepted. But where do you belong? Zbie or Wail?

After the general elections held in the first quarter of the year the diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria were reduced to just two they are

1 The Wailers
These set of people are the critics of the present government they blame the government for any unfortunate incident in the country. They are swift to crucify the government whenever things go wrong. You can simply identify them by their language. The Wailers are quick to shed tears when things don't go their way. A typical example of a Wailer is a crying baby. The Wailers predominantly lives in the South-eastern and South-South part of Nigeria they can also be found in the south western part of Nigeria. These are some of the words used by the Wailers I translated them to English

They are the supporters of the present government. The zombies are quite gullible they can go to any length to believe any government policy regardless of the effect. The Zombies don't have a mind of theirs hence they are always ready to follow, just blow the whistle. A typical example of a Zombie is a Cow. These are some of the terms used by the Zombies I translated them to english
