Akinfemmy: From 2017 - 2018, aged about 27 years, I was working as a machine operator in a HDPE plant(producing bottle water caps) in the South east with similar working conditions as yours. As an engineering graduate from a Federal University, I was grossly underpaid at a 35k monthly salary. I wanted to quit and learn programming but my fear was how to sustain myself during my learn period. After working about 1 year there, I was sacked after I had a run-in(funny story for another day) with my manager. I went back to my parents house and started my programming journey, I did side and menial jobs to sustain myself for the one year I was learning(I was self-taught for many months and landed a free internship after). I got a job after the internship, changed jobs 3 months later, changed several jobs along the line and by '21/22, I was commanding over 1million Naira in monthly salary. At some point, I had multiple gigs and did about 8million monthly. I'm still a work in progress and I'm grateful to God, nature and experiences. If I wasn't sacked, I don't know if I'd have gotten the courage to quit and face my life. I'd possibly be there procrastinating. The moral of my story is to take tough decisions as it'd become clearer as you proceed because when there's a will, there's a way. Selah! 8 Likes 3 Shares |

IT'S TOTALLY STUPID FOR ANYONE TO BLAME ANYONE COMPLAINNING ABOUT THIER UNSATISFACTORY JOB SIMPLY BECAUSE SOME OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE JOBS AT ALL. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB, CREATE A THREAD AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT TOO. DON'T INVALIDATE PEOPLE'S FEELINGS WITH YOUR FALLACIOUS ARGUMENTS AND HIGHLY INSENSITIVE ATTITUDE. 4 Likes |

Ops, from your description, the company that came to mind was samkin or something at ikotun. they produce same. i worked there many years ago. my brother my advice is, continue your work, look out for other good jobs, save, improve yourself. but trust me working with these guys is not worth it. the guy that trained me then, mistakenly got 4 of his fingers chopped off by the machine, guess how much was given to him? 40k. 10k for each finger. and hospital bills shikena. what made me leave there was the shock of both the accident and the fact that the guy came back there to work again. d thing shock me. i run abeg. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Missyajoke:That mindset is typical of most Naigeerians. because some people are struggling in their jobs or otherwise then everyone else must struggle in their jobs. Because some people are jobless and looking for work, people who has job even if the jobs are hard, difficult and cheaply paid they should be grateful, in other words stop complaining and die in the job. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Calitoscassius:You don't understand If he resigns now without funds, how can he take care of himself while learning something else. You forget the increasing price of stuffs now. I gave him a realistic advice,let him get a budget of what he's to spend after resigning and work to get that money. Unless you want him to beg or you can gift him money 1 Like |

Any thing Chinese or Lebanese , run like Usain Bolt. They don’t run an effective HMO , cooperative for share loans and ordinary loans and always keep casual staffs for more than 6 months or lay off and recruit again . They work for 12 hrs with only 30 mins break and under no health and safety conditions . Overall , they pay peanuts and pray you don’t suffer accident while on duty. Chinese Lebanese are terrible people to work with . |

I once worked at Johnson wax in Lagos where they produced coil and raids. I only worked for a month and I ran away with my life. Very tedious work. If u see the oven...it can kill ur sperms. We were warned not be close to fire...In fact,there is no way u can not go close to the fire. It was hell on earth. |

While you have some valid points, some jobs are more demanding than others and not everyone will work inside A/C or from home. The government can only enforce minimum wage and work environment safety and leave the employment bargains for employer and employees. US has one of the most enforced labor laws in the one but some jobs na die here too and you wish you never do it but bills still need to be paid. I had worked in tire shop that pays $12hr in Virginia almost ten years ago. I had to use pain killer every night I get home. I did not quit. I persevere cos I have bills to pay and continue to look for something better. Fast forward to present, I own my business and I charge $100hr to work on a truck with minimum of 2 hours. Quiting a job cos it's hard without alternative is like letting go of a small bird in hand hoping to catch a big one inside the forest. What if you don't get a big one soon? The OP should continue to hang on to it while looking for something better. Omanambala: |

A factory job is like a hustle, it's a dead end that leads nowhere. Especially this kind of factory job, as whatever you "learn" on the job isn't a transferable skill to other jobs/sectors. I will advise you to learn a skill, stack your coins and then leave |

Some of these quit now and learn a skill advice forget he has to eat, pay bills and possibly buy his equipment to start his photography business. Those equipment ain't chesp. While the job is hard according to OP, there are still people who have been working for more than a year at the job. The OP needs to hang on to the job, save up and continue to look for something better like you said. gammarays: 1 Like |

gammarays:You don't understand, again, what if he dies or his health detoriates in the job before he could save enough to meet his budget? Your advice may sound realistic, but his health and life are more important, he could not work to save money if his health is bad or if he dies in the job. If it comes down to him begging or needs assistance from me, no problem! Atleast he would still be alive and healthy. Have you ever heard the phrase, health is wealth? Pardon me for sounding unreasonable to you but i am being reasonable.. |
