It is wrong and it is unnecessary except you are not professional in your service delivery and wanna create and nice pal image for Boss to love you. If you are excellent in your skills and service delivery, you will be liked and appreciated by your Boss without having to fake humility and courtesy. |

domack99: If your boss is carrying excess lodgage its fine to assist, but if its just his/her hand bag or suit case as the case may be i see no reason to assist him/her. It might likely going to be terrible if your boss is a Nigeria, becuase in Nigeria what you cannot continue you don't start.period! |

Is nt a crime to help your boss with his/her bag. It depends on your boss if he/she is the type that do love it. Once you tried it then you will know maybe you should continue or not. But remember say naija we dey! |

If he/she has several bags and you are in a position to aid, then it is fine. If it is just a bag then let them be. |

Respect is earned though! I can say ''attempt'' to carry the bag if the BOSS is worthy of it, and plus the fact that ''he'' is as old as being ur father. . U can still surely help out if ''he/she'' is carrying additional stuffs either BOSS or NOT (Junior or Senior). Being a nice/down-to-earth individual gives one a smooth day (Not MU.MU Nice o) . I dont think Im gonna be able to help my Madam with her bag though, unless there is another! . The type of firm matters also, cos it determines the type of relationship....private or public.....small or big.....sole or partnership...... . Make sure u no your job wella without being able to be waved aside or done without...that will give more respect rather than carrying bags and packs without anything up there..... |

T_Bademosi: Lets say he just got down from his or her vehicle at the same time you were resuming work. Is it necessary you help with the bag & how would such an act paint you?. were you employed as an employee or a nanny? how did your mind go there? do you think he or she is expecting you to do that? anyways, when i had a boss, i do it to steal sometime to discuss urgent matters that cant wait for him to sit. or perhaps ask for favors, or if he asks politely. on a good day, Good morning is just enough, if he needs someone to be carrying his or her lappy, then the organization should hire a butler for that. every employee has got a job description miss yours and you are fvcked, if your boss is a lady and you start that sh!t, you will end up adding "purchase of ALAWAYS PAD" to your job description. Don't even think about it. |

nikkyshyne: Nothing wrong at all. Even if they will stop you, nothing wrong in making an attempt. At least pretend to respect them in every aspect. He/she is your BOSS! that means you have not drawn the line between your village meeting and a corporate work environment. 2 Likes |

IT IS ONLY RIGHT TO CARRY YOUR BOSS'es BAG IF.. 1. You didnt get the job on Merit. (Your boss helped you get the job) 2. You are an Asswipe 3. You work for your father (as in your father is your boss) 4. Your job description includes carrying your bosses bag 5. You have low self worth and esteem and have the constant need to appear nice and be liked.. 6. Its a method you are using to get close enough to your boss to fhuck him/her.. ![]() 5 Likes |

Personally, I like healthy relationships with boundaries where people do not take things for granted and begin to cross lines. 1. If I am not the boss' Personal Assistant I won't be inclined to help carry the bag. 2. If that is not part of my job description I won't be doing it. 3. There's nothing wrong with my boss, his got two hands and feet same as me let him carry his bags. 4. His driver can help him carry his bags if he so desires The thing with such gestures is that when you do it too often or long enough people sort of expect you to keep it up and soon boundaries are crossed, whereby they begin to ask & expect other small favours like you helping them buy their lunch from Cactus, going to the bank on their behalf for personal transactions not related to company work, so on and so on. I would only offer to help if I see that my boss is carrying too many things at once which he is struggling with, other than that I'll let him do him, while I do me. No disrespect intended |

Okija_juju: @ TOPIC: Yes!!.. It reduces you to the level of a Biitch.. Yes, that works in the private sector. But in government, you cant afford not to be in good terms with your boss. AND EVEN IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, ESPECIALLY ONE MAN OR FAMILY BUSINESSES, you have to play a** kisser or you have no career |

Helping your boss is in two ways let me share mine with you. My Engineering director is a Dutch. Some times, he decline when I decide to help him with his bag (at that period he could read that am busy with my work) and some other time he willingly give the bag to me to help him towards his car (at that time am less busy). But, if your boss is a lady/ Nigerian, please read his/her reaction to issues like this so as to know what to do. |

The only time I would offer to help is if my boss is struggling and almost falling over the luggae as I would do for anyone who is elderly and struggling even in Walmart But How would it look for a guy wearing suit to work be seen carrying a Michael Kors bag belonging to the boss in the name of asskissing 1 Like |

My policy is that your luggage/non official business is not my business. Even if you are President/CEO of the Organization, if we meet by the entrance to the building, I will just greet you and go my way. The top boss of the organization in Nigeria (a white woman) actually complained and told another officer that I don't offer to help carry her luggage, it took a high will power not to tell her my mind. My supervisor who is an Indian also noticed it but never said anything, he only took it out on his relationship with me. Left to me everybody should mind his/her business. Do your job and go home, but unfortunately in Nigeria much is expected from a subordinate, especially those out of your job description. I don't even like having happy hours with work colleagues. To answer your question, don't do it, if you are going to help make sure you are helping someone that will appreciate it and not someone that will see it as a means to look down on you. |

As someone has already said, if the person is carrying excess, it is polite to say "please allow me to help you carry that". However if it is only one bag, that is not necessary. |

Carrying a womans hand bag is very personal. If a man carries, it looks like invasion of privacy. The man would appear as a woman rapper. He could help her in other things not bag. |
