Should I Stop My Job Or Continue? by Hidewell(m): 4:19pm On Jun 24, 2023 |
Good day, sirs and ma. I moved to Abuja to work as an Administrative assistant at (name withheld) close to Galadinmawa. The agreed pay with my employer was 50,000 which I accepted because I don't want to stay idle and I wanted to garner experience. The Friend's house I stay is in Kagini. Those that know Abuja will know this place. The transportation cost from the house to my place of work is 1,100 and coming back same, which makes it 2,200 every day excluding Saturdays and Sundays. After crossing my T's and dotting my i's I found out that The total cost is 2200 x25 days= 55,000 with a 5,000 deficit. The organization provide light breakfast and lunch. So, my food is a bit covered. I am just confuse now. I talked to the organization for a pay rise but they gave me a stiff neck. Please what will you advice me to do. I am seriously frustrated with the look of things. Do you think it's worth it. P.s. I have worked for a month there now. I am scared my friend will complain that I am not contributing. . I'm drained and frustrated. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Do they have staff buses or does any staff have a car so you can follow him/her to cut the cost of your transportation fee? Does any of your neighbours have a car and goes the same direction as you? If NO, I'll advice you to quit the job. Having a 5k deficit at the end of the month is slavery, you're better off without them. Keep searching for another job, and I believe that sooner or later, you'll get something much better. 91 Likes 3 Shares |

If it can't pay your bills and will leave you in debts, you better stop or you will continue to work in frustration and you will continue to blame it all everyone around. But if you can manage it for a while until you get something better or add side hustles to it. The decision still lies in your hands to either count the cost or the lost. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Have You Tried Talking To Management If They Can Help You Get An Accommodation Close By, If No I Think Quitting The Job Will Be Better For You Both Physically, Mentally And Financially. This Kind Of Job Is Worse Than Unemployment And Underemployment Combined. The Lord Is Your Strength. 14 Likes |

Transportation cost isn't funny anymore. It's eating up people's income. A friend of mine living in Ikorodu and working on the Island says he spends about 40k weekly to fuel his car. Soon your friend accommodating you will give you attitude. You can't afford not to contribute towards home maintenance. I would advise you get a room apartment close to your office. Even if na face me, I face you. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Op, you are better off selling windshield wipers and car phone chargers in Wuse 2 traffic instead of that your current Job. Life isn't by wearing coat and tie.. There are hundreds of menial and hawking jobs you can do in Abuja and be far better off than dashing your employer 5k monthly... Abandon shame and enter street. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

If you had some money... You could have rented a house close to your organisation... Like kabusa village. Transportation will be cheaper for you. I think you might see a one room where you will be paying monthly.... But still ask for a pay rise |

Guy if you don't have Money to relocate and Live Close to your working Place then you have to Stop Working. You are working to have money in your Pocket. Nobody does a Deficit work in the Present Harsh Nigeria Economy. Look for another Vacancy or relocate Close to your Office. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Does your family stay in Abuja? If yes, quit the job, go back home, re-strategize, and hopefully, a better job with proximity will come again. And if not, speak to your friend to give you some time and lay down the same complaints you gave us here to him and wait for his response. If he's empathetic and patient, give yourself a time frame of 1-2 months to get something better. While you are at this, don't laze around, procrastinate, or get laid back. Be charged up and start looking out for better opportunities. 55,000N salary in this dispensation is simply slavery. With the hike in transportation costs and no extra allowances/provisions for workers’ well-being, why are Nigerian employers not sympathetic enough to workers’ plights? They should understand that with such a paltry amount, burnout is imminent and the frustrations are likely to be transferred to the performance of the job. It's sad. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hidewell: Transportation should not take more than 15% of your salary else it will be frustrating. It's either you get closer to where you work or quit if they are not increasing 4 Likes 1 Share |
