I read most comments here. Most employees don't value themselves . If employers realize you are poor and desperate to get and keep a job, they would abuse you.
Don't try to over-mpress your boss. If you do, he would be suspicious of you.
Don't offer suggestions, if you are not asked to do so. Some employers would see it as act of aggression and that you may even steal business ideas.
Avoid too much familiarity especially female folks. Some male employers may see your being open them as being interested in relationships. Many female staff have raped and they could not report because of low self esteem. Set boundary from day 1. Be yourself. Don't be desperate. Be confident !!!
Avoid one man and start up business. If you find yourself in such business, prepare your exit from the beginning.

I admire the courage to leave.

The reason I might have to leave my job as a customer care rep is because of the insults I get daily from rude customers.

We need to do better as humans

I have been in that situation before.

I was paid 30k as a graduate. I didn't mind.
Tax was deducted from that peanut, dispenser water we drink in the office was deducted from the salary and a complusory 1k was deducted for welfare.

I usually close between 7pm and 9pm, waiting for the MD to go so I could lock up and go with the keys to the office.
7am, I am already at work to open the door for the cleaner to work.

I endured all these because my house was not far, I could trek or bike #100 to my house.

Then you face all sort of insults from the MD at any slighted mistake.

I got fed up, submitted my resignation letter. Then, they wanted to increase my salary, I told them my mind was made up already.

That was how I left.

It's very annoying how sole owners of companies treat their employees.

I swear down.. they make millions and pay pea nuts + insults

Sole proprietorship? I commot hand for their matter.

No career growth.

No defined path.

Your appraisal is how well you can lick the ass of your MD, his wife and grown up kids.

If you work in the office, you will work overtime in his family house too. grin

You go sha dey work. Experience for the work sef no fit help your life.

I resigned my job because I got another. Though the next boss make me wan resign, I come look am wonder how. I went back the next day ready for him. I could do that because it wasn’t a one-man business.

Sorry to hear that bro. But let me give you this piece of advise:

1. Never think of a job as a long term thing ; rather look at it as a way to add value to yourself and promote your own plans in business.

2. Always go for jobs that make you happy and fulfilled. And never settle for a harsh working environment that does not appreciate your effort and talent


3. Start preparing yourself to learn a high-income skills that will free you from the shackles of a 9-5 job


thats the problem with Nigerians. OVER SABI.

we know you are a motivational speaker and you have 12 companies but please... THE TOPIC NEVER ASKED FOR YOUR ADVICE.

just respond in line with the topic. he would have asked for advice if it was what he needed.

Resigned in January from an Architectural Firm after working for 3 years. (pay was relatively okay with benefits...but)

Toxic and averse to innovation and Tech.
Leadership unwilling to be open to suggestions and recommendations from younger staff cause "It's not how we do it"
Internal politics and hate, back stabbing and sabotage.
Eye service and please the master only mentality.

My industry (Architecture and Construction) is experiencing a flux of digital transformation. I couldn't be left behind. I've always wanted to do better in the delivery of construction projects as an Architect.

This made me co-found a company for integrated project delivery. Also partnered with an Interior designer to deliver outstanding projects in record time. So everything is in-house. More like the way Tesla builds their cars.

Resigned in January to fully focus on the company and make the change I've always dreamt of.
