Peaceagain: First and foremost, you don't need that job. You should be happy because moments like these ones you have had only push you to destiny. God is trying to tell you that your destiny is big. Don't settle for less. And you don't have to bend over and let people f*** you in the back. You deserve respect and you should demand it from whomever, whenever. Cry today if you must, but go out there tomorrow and tell the world you are not one to be messed with. You need to see me smiling sheepishly. Honestly the comments here are making me feel hopeful.

PapaFejiro: With your level of education, this kind of job loss should not get you worried. How much sef is the salary? You should be thanking God you are no more there. Now you should take a few weeks break like 2 weeks to get your mental recovery and be back to your best. Forget that chewing gum girl, her mom, brother and akara school. Either you go on social media to advertise your discipline like LinkedIn or you start forex, business of buying and selling etc. You can start buying Ogbono or beans in sacks, wholesale and retail via social media. You could repackage and do a lot more. Dont work in toxic environment for your mental health sake. Send an email if you need business ideas and support. With your husband's knowledge of course. I hear you papa Fejiro. I tried to send you a mail but it keeps saying 'error'. Don't know why. Maybe you can try sending me a mail from ur end. I need those business ideas. My name is Ejiro too.

Career / Re: How I Moved From Management Trainee To Assistant Manager Within 4 Years. by MsJackson: 2:08am On Jun 19, 2022 |
Appliedmaths: I'm posting this to encourage someone out there.
My job hunting days started here on NL, in fact I got my first two (2) jobs here on NL after which recommendations and reputation opened more doors for me. There was one award I won in the job hunting section as the nairalander that crashes every job thread or something like that I can't remember
Below are what have been working for me so far.
Choose a career in the right industry Simply put, "e get some kind work wey I no fit do."
I'm a very calculative person, I was kinda selective during my early days because I knew where the money was. I also understand that you have to start little, but no matter how little please don't settle for the low tier industries.
You will be behind in all facets of life, trust me on this one.
Competence Nobody in life except your parents will be attracted to you if you don't have anything to bring to the table. Organizations will beg to have you and also dance to your terms when you have the right skill set to get the job done.
Under this point, I'll also add smartwork and personal development.
Networking with the right people Do not hide under a rock, simply put do not hide behind your desk from January to December.
Go out and meet the people you exchange emails with, put names to faces. Have their whatsApp numbers and connect. They know you're competent, they'll be more than happy to have you on their team or strongly refer you .
You must jump ships Make I use pidgin talk this one, dem no dey stay one place rise to the top. The people you met there will suppress you.
The people I left in my former places of work cannot lace my shoes right now. Please I am not bragging, I'm just stating the facts.
Jumping ships attract at least 40-60% and sometimes 100%+ salary increase and also position. So you decide where you'll pitch your tent.
The first 2 points will help you jump ships at your own will and terms.
On the other hand, don't jump ships too often.
The BIG God factor As a Christian, I cannot overemphasize this. You're not the most hardworking or brilliant mind out there, in my career journey I see people with higher qualifications than me that are way behind and I ask myself many questions.
It will pay you to run with the grace of God, believe me on this one. I attend some interviews and I ask myself if this is an interview or a hangout. There was one I attended the top two officers were asking and answering themselves questions that was meant for me .
Or how do you explain when you'll put all your life problems in your salary demand (which is higher than the industry standard by 30% or so) and the company will agree 100%. Last I checked you're not the only one in the market.
I'm still on my journey, but I just feel led to share this to encourage someone out there.
congratulations sir. Please I need a job. Chemical Engineering graduate. Please help if you can. Thank you. |
Career / Just Fired. How Do I Cope With The Emotional Trauma? by MsJackson: 1:53am On Jun 19, 2022 |
Hello my uncles and aunts.
I'll make this as brief as possible. I teach in a school where the owner uses his father's compound, back flats. His family lives in front apartment.
Some months ago, last year precisely, i had an issue with his sister, last born, and i decided to avoid her totally to prevent future occurrence. I face my job and do it well.
We the teachers observe that the family always call their son to report any issue, especially if we faltered in some cases. It was getting too much.
So on that day, exactly two weeks ago, we were asked to oversee the students sporting activities, done in front of the school compound. I was walking out with my colleague and we were discussing something we both saw on social media, about gistlover. The sister overheard it and believed we were talking about her, calling her gistlover.
She walked up to me and confronted me in a harsh manner. I tried explaining to her that we weren't referring to her, but she wouldn't listen and before you know it, we were exchanging words. I said a lot because I was angry that she singled me out to confront, when we were two discussing the issue.
She was telling me to get out and i was sooo angry that I used the f word on her. Later, her parents came back and she reported me to them. Without calling to hear my side of the story, they both told their son to send me away. The mother even said that wherever she saw me, she would strip me naked. Their son my boss came, me and my colleague were called to say what happened,we did, then my boss told me to go home and stay put for a while.
After a week,he called and told me my services were no longer needed, that he made his own private investigation from the students and they confirmed I used the f word on his sister. I am not innocent. I admitted my fault, but he refused to temper justice with mercy. He promised to pay me for this month, but my reputation is stained. AGAIN.
Considering the fact that I had some issues with a previous school two years ago, very close to this one. There I resigned on my own. Now everybody is looking at me like I am a bad person. I AM NOT. I try to be sooooo nice and polite, but people always take advantage of that to look down on me. I am extremely humble to a fault, even hubby says I present myself as mumu to people too much.
Is it a crime to be of small stature? I am 39yrs of age and this girl I had an altercation with, she is in her early 20's. I felt so disrespected because of how she confronted me, even poking her fingers in my face in the presence of the students, so I lost my temper. I didn't mean to. Now people are looking at me somehow. I don't feel like waking up in the mornings because I wonder how I would face the day.
I NEED A JOB, that will help me heal from this trauma. Graduated 11 years ago, Chemical Engineering, University of Benin. But I still don't have a good job, I have been teaching to hold body, but I am fed up.
The salary is sooooo small, compared to the work load I was handling. I would love to work in a good company, but nobody, no one is willing to give me a chance. I am depressed daily. God should just use a good person to help me, wipe my tears. Sorry for the long write-up. 178 Likes 24 Shares |

ImaIma1: I don't think it's normal that she has never ever called you to check on you. Does she call her son (your husband)? Does she call her daughter(s)?
If she sees and accepts you as her daughter, she should be calling you. From her behaviour, you are still an outsider to her. Does she tell her own children that they should be the only ones calling her? Would a mother not check on her children?
That's my opinion. my point exactly. It just tells me the love is one sided. And I am almost locking up. Let everyone rest. If u don't ever check on me, why should I continue? |

MadamVanessa:
Is there anyone both male and female that doesn't have a reckless past? personally, if I love , I love, I don't believe in the philosophy of digging one's past before settling down with the person; because to be very candid, there's nobody past that's palatable.
Na sex she had no be say she kill person, or no be say she give you disease. Na knack she knack, u been de knack too before u even meet am. The abortion she committed, even house wives of today , commit abortion too. So It's an old story.
Meeting you , means starting afresh with a new chapter. people with trust issue have the time of going back to dig at one's past and if look closely their past too may even be more messy.
Look for more justifiable reason to jappa after knacking the poor girl, don't come up with this childish and RECKLESS excuse. Poor girl wey had no qualms about sleeping with a married man? 'poor' indeed.

Family / Re: My Husband Refuses To Take Me Out by MsJackson: 9:15am On Feb 20, 2022 |
Teettyllayho: Seriously, your post just described exactly what my husband does. I used to be unhappy and nag him for not taking me out, buying me gifts or even giving me money.
See, everything changed when we changed our residence. I used to think that taking myself out requires thousands of naira, I discovered it doesn't when we got to my new area. I work from home, and as an introvert, I have few friends. But, I connected with an old friend of mine who has kids. She stays close by. So, what we do is, we set out dates to go out and have fun with our kids.
You have to create your own happiness in marriage. Never ever revolve your happiness around a man, or he'll never respect you.
After going out, I'll take as much pictures as possible (showing me and the kids) and post them. I celebrated my birthday with my kids and a few friends last year and I was very glad I did. Life is too short and the memories we create are what make people remember us when we're gone.
Besides, you can't change a man. A stingy man believes he's wasting money by taking you out. But when you take yourself out, you'll be happy you did, regardless of what he says or how he feels. You owe yourself happiness, please stay happy! I have learned to create my own happiness and I'm happy I did. Thank you my dear for ur input. I have learnt A LOT here and will put dem into practice. Thanks so much to all who contributed, God bless you all. 1 Like |

You would have sounded better with your mouth closed. Nonsense and ingredients thanks my dear, for clearing her. She was not there when this man was wooing me for almost 2 years before i even agreed to date him, let alone marry him, we were even platonic friends for 5 years before the proposal.
