Funny stuff, them tie una umbilical cord for there ni? emekabassey: My story is going to be long and the experience is far from pleasant
I worked for Fouani NIgeria Limited, the customer service department. The manager is Lebanese, most will think this is enough justification for the way he acts but all other deartments in the company(that I know of) all have Lebanese managers but their story is so different from ours aside from the general issue of not giving employment/appointment letters, most these complaints is peculiar to that department of the company
Our manager does not allow any form of interaction amongst worker as you can be terminated for turning your head in the office, as in say you just turn neck o. Someone was terminated for laughing after office hours, work don close o and baba say the guy laugh and the next day na termination straight. Your job security depends on his mood, as he might just decide to terminate you with the excuse of 'we dont want you anymore'
Approval of leave is at his mercy, I can remember a staff, although she was due for 1 week leave, this man denied her despite the fact that this lady was seriously ill, he made her come to work even with the drip connected to her body as he told her she will be terminated if she doesnt work. This lady fainted twice at work that day and had to choose her life by resigning.
This is just one of the many cases of staffs that were terminated because they were absent from work because of illness even after informing he resumed with a medical report after being unable to come to work for 2 days and in this man's word "sorry, you can go home and rest. You will see your salary at the end of the month" That was the end of it.
This man has made the work environment so toxic and it is not strange to see staffs crying after leaving his office as he talks to staffs as if Nigerians are lesser humans, he called a teamlead a slut and accused her of sleeping with her team members because she does not deduct staff break, he threatened Samiat and promised to destroy her because the young lady wanted to quit and go for her youth service.
This man makes it his office policy to to limit staffs restroom usage to 7 minutes, anything beyond this can get you break deductions, warning letters and even termination. Whereas he who sets the rules spends 30 minutes in the restroom (You and I know that no one can control nature).
A Muslim staff was terminated for dosing during ramadan(this man na muslim o, and he prays 5 times daily) and so many others that I can't mention all that have face similar cases on a daily basis. He employs today and terminate tomorrow with a reliable reasons. There is a post on nairaland as far back as 2020 about this man.
Work time is Monday to Saturday 7:50AM to 5:30PM with no visible compensation for working overtime instead he tells you he is doing you a favor and you will get as much as 5,000 deducted from your salary which is more than double of our daily income.
Staffs break are deducted x3 of the minutes they came late to work despite the fact that their salaries will be deducted for same reason. I heard they protested against that recently and the break deductions has been stopped and replaced with more salary deductions for being late 1 minute past the resumption time of 7:50am, not even a grace period of 10minutes.
I made a more detailed post some weeks back on this man, e no easy at all.
If you have an advice for the people still there and know of a way for these ill to be corrected, please reach out and drop your comments as every bit of info here has evidence to back it up |

Meerahbel: In my years working in a Spa, just very few Nigerian men actually want the massage, most of the time many are looking for happy endings.
Some Spa are not professionally run in Nigeria and the owners dont have certifications unlike their abroad counter part, there is a body regulating the activities of spa, nobody, I mean nobody in Nigeria regulate spa business every tom dick & harry is a spa therapist after watching YouTube videos.
Well, as for working in there, you practically begging for certain things to be done, you are under pressure 100% of the time, they are not proactive but reactive on many lingering issues but when it time to pay salary they ask you to tell them what you have achieved in the month ![shocked](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/shocked.gif)

My advise is, if you are going to work for private company in Nigeria, start saving for your own business or investment from day one, yes I mean from day one even if your salary is 20k, save in a separate account for your future. With this arrangement you will be well position to quite when you need to quit, the limited employment opportunity available in Nigeria has turned many private business or company owners in Nigeria to monsters/slave masters. Be loyal, be hard working and committed but plan your exit before it's too late. 16 Likes 1 Share |

I'm tired. Sales is actually one of the best jobs especially if it comes with a car and laptop, you can even do your side business.

sow4me: I managed an hotel at surulere. A very good location with less standard rooms and very little customers when i resumed as the superviso/manager.
I am a very simple and godly person and as such, i can work with little staff and push lots of work in less time as i make sure my guys are okay evn with the little pay from the hotel owner. I make sure monies are resides on the sides to compensate, get dinner for my guys and I, and also weekend bonuses.
But then a woman would always be a woman.
The owner died and one of his son visited Naija and started dating one of my receptionist and u know when ladies feel they sleeping with the boss, they did auditing and found out a shortage of 70k and she the receptionist told him the son i take some amount of money for personal use.
Iv been the one doing normal accounting as its a small hotel like that.
My point am driving at is when u at the top, have some form of strictness, and dont open up with your guys too much as they can become betrayals cuz of money. When Nigerians are narrating a story,the other side is always the bad or guilty one.The narrator is always the good one. I bet if the other side of the story is told,yours may start looking padded to suit your narrative. 9 Likes 1 Share |

But once you attain the above, the only thing hindering one from prospering in any organization is the opportunity to get there. And if you get this password, you state to decide who and where you want to work (market stability dependent though).

Approval of leave is at his mercy, I can remember a staff, although she was due for 1 week leave, this man denied her despite the fact that this lady was seriously ill, he made her come to work even with the drip connected to her body as he told her she will be terminated if she doesnt work. This lady fainted twice at work that day and had to choose her life by resigning.
This is just one of the many cases of staffs that were terminated because they were absent from work because of illness even after informing he resumed with a medical report after being unable to come to work for 2 days and in this man's word "sorry, you can go home and rest. You will see your salary at the end of the month" That was the end of it.
This man has made the work environment so toxic and it is not strange to see staffs crying after leaving his office as he talks to staffs as if Nigerians are lesser humans, he called a teamlead a slut and accused her of sleeping with her team members because she does not deduct staff break, he threatened Samiat and promised to destroy her because the young lady wanted to quit and go for her youth service.
This man makes it his office policy to to limit staffs restroom usage to 7 minutes, anything beyond this can get you break deductions, warning letters and even termination. Whereas he who sets the rules spends 30 minutes in the restroom (You and I know that no one can control nature).
A Muslim staff was terminated for dosing during ramadan(this man na muslim o, and he prays 5 times daily) and so many others that I can't mention all that have face similar cases on a daily basis. He employs today and terminate tomorrow with a reliable reasons. There is a post on nairaland as far back as 2020 about this man.
Work time is Monday to Saturday 7:50AM to 5:30PM with no visible compensation for working overtime instead he tells you he is doing you a favor and you will get as much as 5,000 deducted from your salary which is more than double of our daily income.
Staffs break are deducted x3 of the minutes they came late to work despite the fact that their salaries will be deducted for same reason. I heard they protested against that recently and the break deductions has been stopped and replaced with more salary deductions for being late 1 minute past the resumption time of 7:50am, not even a grace period of 10minutes.
I made a more detailed post some weeks back on this man, e no easy at all.
If you have an advice for the people still there and know of a way for these ill to be corrected, please reach out and drop your comments as every bit of info here has evidence to back it up I got an offer with this firm after my service year in 2021. They actually waited for me to collect my discharged certificate and I was suppose to resume with them. Few days to when I am suppose to resume, that was how I got another offer that was twice the pay they were offering me. That was how I never resumed there again. Thank God, I didn't join them then. 10 Likes |

TheDemola:
I think you have to take up the case with a very very strong lawyer.
Labor laws state 40hrs/week of work, any hr outside that should be regarded as overtime and paid accordingly. So you have a good case with a strong labor lawyer.
Does the company not have a handbook? Would you pay for the services of the lawyer? 3 Likes |

![kiss](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/kiss.gif) I wish I can like this your post over a billion times. spiralwedge: I run a private company. Conclusion: Most Nigerians are not dependable and want to wreck you. You have to always be on your feet.
However, there are few that are. Advice to employers reading this - when you find one who is competent and dependable, give them more incentives and benefits.

Your insights can be a guiding light for others navigating the professional realm. Share your thoughts on workplace dynamics, career growth, challenges faced, or any noteworthy experiences.
The first place I worked was a private school back in 2011. Every time the proprietress issues me cheque for my salary,she will instruct me to run to the bank without hesitation. Others that goes to the bank late won't be able to cash the cheque because the little in it has been collected by me and two others. I left after the waec exams when I found out some staff are being owed between 5-8 months salary. 5 Likes |
