It will surprise you that that guy will have a bevy of beautiful ladies at his beck and call.

And I doubt he will get ruined. The cancel solidarity culture isn't so rife here. Maybe a few multinational clients might raise some reputational concerns but all he has to tell them is that he's already taking steps to resolve the "internal issues" and improve public perception. He's unlikely to lose many clients especially if his firm delivers top-notch services.

But calling him out is a step in the right direction and is likely to make him check his utterances.

This here. Forget all the pressure he puts on his workers he is probably corrupt as shit. I have had a ceo who fits this exact template. Later I heard he was going through women in the office like a kid in a candy store. And the guy ultimately wrecked the company. We may eventually find dude has been salting away investors seed money. One of the reasons to create a culture of fear. So no one will speak up against the obvious bad decisions and policies which have a hidden agenda

Ebun is this you? grin

He is only acting this way cause he knows Nigerians will do whatever to keep a job.

Let him come to the UK or U.S and try this sissy bully games with his team and watch the end result.

I feel so sorry for some of you in this country. Imagine the inhumane treatment of people that work day and night for you and someone is calling it cheap black mail.

Good thing this is gaining limelight. When I see toxic bosses like this, I thank God for my boss who is simply an angel. The pay isn't much but I have peace of mind and complete sanity. Meanwhile, people should come out to drag those Indian companies who uses their workers like machines. No time to rest, no time for family or social life. My relationship is currently suffering because of this cry cry. I wish my man can leave but where's the option? It's really bad.

Comprehension is key. I never said anyone should give him a pass. Call him out but remember to check your own ways too. Bad bosses do not fall from the sky, they are all amongst us.

Sadly, lots of Nigerians have bosses that shout on them everyday and make them feel bad just because they pay their salary.

If you have a horrible boss or supervisor as such, what this video

Lol, almost all the toxic bosses I know are married. Even terrorists have wives. This Ebun guy is young, rich and influential, so connect the dots.

Yeah for short term relationships no doubt but such a volatile person can't sustain a long term relationship. He even said he broke up with his GF of 6 years.

I read the entire piece. Call me a modafocka for 700k as a dev? Spits on his ugly face. FOR A PAYROLL PRODUCT THAT CAN BE REPLICATED by a thousand and one OPEN SOURCE offerings? Spits on his face again.

₦700k is not up to $2k o. It's not even up to £1k. For a dev. And he's there mouthing off about a ₦26m account. F*ck you Ebun Okubanjo.

The man behaves like a right bastird. You would think he's saving the world with his thing the way he goes about it.

You can't blame him though. It's the people desperate for his pay and tolerate him who make him feel invincible.

Inferiority complexes are written all over him. And mental illness too.

I had a feeling he would be ugly just from the topic.

Owning a business does not relieve one of his/her duties to uphold professionalism.

It is not his workaholic tendencies that his ex-employees seem to have a problem with. It's his toxicity and lack of work ethics.

Sending messages at 2.30 in the night and expecting an instant response from somebody in dreamland, insulting your employees (referring to them as 'pussíes' and 'motherfuckérs'), insulting their families, hiring, firing, then rehiring, body-shaming your employees, etc is your idea of a workaholic?

Abegii...!

You're dealing with a toxicity apologist.

1. They are toxic themselves
2. They admire and envy the wealth of the toxic person
3. Stockholm syndrome
4. They think the toxic person is that way because they are Atlas, what they don't know is that such people are just egotistic and insensitive and it's not a sexy trait

We need new labour laws


We already have


Employment contracts must be certified by Local Government authority through a dedicated labour office at the LGA office

Why



All salary and allowances should go through banking system so as to have proof of payment and tax remitance


Which company says salary via cash?


Industrial court must be setup accross all 774 LGA to swiftly tackle employment dispute

With which money?



Employers must be mandated to use standardised Performance index measurements


Who will generate all these indices at wick cost?


Time registry must be used to ascertain work hours and overtime bonuses paid for extra working hours and services beyond your contracted agreed services


Have you seen able to enforce minimum wage?


Disciplinary actions must be spelt out for each offence and must be published by the employer and Certified by the labour office, each staff must have a copy



You think you're still in secondary school
At will employmenT
If you don't like leave



.
It's a buyers market as demand for jobs exceeds supply So the armholes are covered




For now


Soon den go jam ex cultist or militant employee
Then everyone go calm dan

He's in a rage and calls someone an idiot, in an email? I can understand raging and verbally insulting someone but putting it down in writing? Really? I understand that startups require some steely character to drag them through to the growth stage but what this guy is doing is pure lunacy. Is he going to insult Egyptians like this when he expands there? Or South Africans? Or is this his madness localised to Nigerians?

Past employees should try and sue him at the Industrial court. Current employees; make secret recordings of calls, screenshot messages, try and have records of all his abuse and then resign and sue him for N000000s. This generation should not accept this!! By the way I'm 53 and have worked for over 35 years so I'm not a soro soke youth. The guy's behaviour is unacceptable. Make him pay by making him PAY

When you know your worth, people won't kick you around.
My current boss wanted to pull this work during weekends shit. I told him straight to his face that any weekend he calls me concerning work related issues, I will barr his calls.
I told him that weekends are outrightly for me and my family except if it is an emergency which I will decide on my own.
The guy have become calm since then.

@bolded: Then we are agreed that he has mental illness. It takes a fool or an unwell, uncontrolled person to put such into writing.

Someone like him will try to control himself when he sees some white skin.

What I don't get is those who grew up in the western world who still go back to naija to express such animalistic behaviour. I once had a female boss like that who had spent almost 20 years working in Canada.

There was a dude who was my age and entered the company same time as I did. In 10 years he was ceo
I saw version 1.0,1.5 and 2.0
1.0 was the person we knew and worked with
1.5 was when he was in like ceo training. He was affable, approachable.
2.0 he was manic ego, pure sociopath and murderer in performance review meetings

I honestly suspect a lot of these guys also use coke or something to keep that energy and those hours. And some of their tantrums etal are when they are coming down
