Helo Nairalanders. Please am a bit confused. I just started working wit a new law firm somewhere around Ikeja two wks ago. I dont really av issues wit the working condition coz I quite understnd Lagos working atmosphere. I reside at Joju, after Sango Otta, and I must resume work by 9am,dats if court is not sitting, else I must leave home by 5am to beat the traffic.

To cut the long story short, ever since I started, my new boss never called me to discuss the terms of payment with me. Though he's a family friend, but how can I work frm morning till night and I wouldnt knw how much my salary is?? I try to exercise patience coz I first thought it wasnt formal to start asking for salary matter. He always want me to be at work puntually but I cant cope again. D transport and accomodation is draining; transport alone is #800 daily and am sick of this.

Them suppose bring you out for assembly ground flog the bejesus out of you.

Because he is a family friend doesn't mean the handshake should extend to the elbow.
Ask him the necessary questions an employee should ask about which includes knowing what the salary is like.

Abi you dey look him face
Don't worry.

Gud! U shld then expect gud amount of money as ur salary.

i once worked for someone in 2004, expecting at least 15k as salary. i didnt disciss terms before starting the job cos he was a pastor and a family friend.

month end, he packaged 2,000 inside envelope in 50 naira notes.
i learnt my lesson with the 13k loss.
you may learn with a more painful amount.
