I've Gotten A New Job And I Can't Let Go Of The Former One (advice Please) by lovelyS(m): 10:55am On Aug 25, 2011 |
I have been working with this IT company based in lagos in the last 6years.during this years they have been doing well and all but when the problem that affects banks arises they where seriously affected because the company is running on long time loan collected from this bank. Shortly after the problems started,the company started owing us and their staffs (myself inclusive) started looking for a way out of the company because they only to pay 1months in every 3/4months (sad?) To cut the long story short,I have gotten a new job (with poor salary) and this company is owing me 11 months salary and the owner of this company says if we leave we we should forget about the arrears. I have started working with this new company but i have not resigned because of the condition/threat by the CEO/MD of my formar office. I didn't mention that i have a wife (she resigned when she got pregnant she was given 3months leave with no pay) and a 9months old baby. Please Nairalanders,I dint know what to do and i urgently need your advice and i will appreciate it if you are being sincere with it. |

Your former employer(legal employer) is just trying to blackmail you. My advice is that you just leave the company and hope that they pay you what they owe. I want to believe there's a signed agreement between both parties. Btw, this thread should be in the Jobs section. |

@ poster. your story saddens my heart. a man is owing you and still has the efforntery to blackmail you. didnt you work for him? well the truth. leave your job, give him one month notice and then walk out. as for the issue of your back pay, get a lawyer to sue him for the debt. you will recover your money sharp sharp. finally he night be hurt that you want to leave him when he is almost down, and finally am sure you are still young, so leave the guy and start your career, |
