I picked up the gate man job ending of last month out of no other better options at the moment and seeing what economic hardship was making me pass through, especially waking up with no hope of where food is going to come from, make i no go steal, God abeg.

I have been doing the job well. Yesterday, while strolling around the area, I heard one man saying he is looking for someone to cut grasses in his compound. Being something I can do to collect the money to help myself as i was hungry and peniless, I met the man and told him i can do the work and we agreed on N15k.

So as my oga went to work, i rushed down to do the work. While I was on it, i dont know what brought my oga back to the house and he didnt see me at the post.

He called me and asked me where i am. I rushed down to the house. I told him i got a small contract of 15k to cut grass for someone in the neighbourhood.

The man got so angry on why I left his duty post to go do another job. Worse was that the person i did the job for was more like his enemy, as i later learnt they've not been in good terms.

He sacked me instantly. I begged this man as a human being to please forgive but he refused to consider me again. He even said, "go before you go and collect poison from my enemy to come and kill me".

Please what is my business with whatever fight the two of them are fighting?

That was how I lost the small job i just got 3 weeks ago and now back with nothing. He should have paid me for the 3 weeks right away but he didnt, rather he said i will find a way to pay you for the services so far.

Please, the country is already very hard and all I needed was something that could give me immediate money to survive on first.

Sad how struggling citizens are being badly treated everyday even while legitimately hustling for survival. How he will pay me for the 3 weeks, he didn't say it.

It's painful but it is not the end of the world.

I will make it too. Amen.

It shall never be well with hunger, agent of poverty.

Gateman na security

He can't trust u, you left his property unsecured because of 15k

He wasn't wrong

I know and I locked the gate from outside.

Lol... You can't be using your working hours to work for someone else...
Although your oga sacked you based on sentimental reasons, the fact is dat, you were doing your job "Diligently"....
If you were, you would have turned the grass cutting job offer down or you arrange a specific time when you are "Off duty"...
You saying "you don't know what brought your oga back home" isn't a point.. As long as you are on duty, you must be at the gate all working hours...
Sorry...
Lesson learnt..
Point taken...

It's not the same thing

He can lock the gate too and go to work

The thing is that you were suppose to be there

The man was right to sack you
Security is no joke business

If he pays you for the 3weeks.... Fine, he is a good man,
You don't have any reason to leave your duty post without informing your employer

It's wrong

At least you've learnt ur lesson

A security person is suppose to be guiding lives and properties and always available on duty which is the only reason why you were employed... You took some risk to make extra money and that risk landed you in this state. Well, i pray heaven bless you with a better job

Hh

Without remorse
I say the man was right to sack you

You left your duty post
You were not employed for part-time but full time

Security job is not for play and you have proved you were not trust worthy

What if, someone came into the house and stole items

You won't even be here asking this question because by now na police hand you for dey

You don learn lesson the HARD way

He was super correct firing you because you don't even know your job as a security officer.
You need to go for training.

Omo op na serious bashing you dey receive from everybody wey don comment so far. Make I no come join give you wotoporiosly. So I support all of the above.

You lack wisdom. That's probably why you are in this situation in the first place. You left your job, and were using your working hours to work for another man. If you had wanted a side hustle, it should have been done outside your working hours. If you refuse to get wisdom, hunger will be your first teacher. You are 100% at fault.

Security is no joke especially in Nigeria where evil vices is rife. I understand you wanted to make extra bucks but it was at the detriment of your Oga. So choose your poison wisely.
I hope for a better job for you

Because they failed to understand my own point

Sha use the 15k hold side till another job show. You can still go and beg him ,and make him see reasons why you did what you did. And that you will never try it again.. You sef too do.. A bird in hand they say.. What if that guy no gree pay you the 15k las las Double wahala for dedibodi

Mr. Full Wisdom, I sight you.

Don't learn. That's how you will be jumping from job to job without any future. Hunger will humble you.

You're in the wrong...

About the grasses...

Remember When life throws lemon ? You make lemonade. Go around and search for more clients for the meantime.

Well, now you can become a full time grass cutter .

Imagine you have a business and you hired someone to work, he left the job to go work for a competition, when you return, you will give him a medal because he's a hustler..

Hope say you don cut the grass finish collect the 15k

You are funny.
You left your job to go do another and you are angry with being held accountable for abandoning your job?
Nobody treated you bad. You are the one who treated your employer badly while he legitimately gave you a job.
You are also upset a man decided to come back to his own house at a time he wanted. Its not your house. You cant expect him not to come back anytime he wants

OP you didn't do well jare, you leaving your duty post was totally unacceptable. What if something was stolen from the house while you were away? Your Oga wouldn't have just fired you, you would have been cooling off in a police cell right now.

Don't worry, something better would come up soon, I just pray you've learnt you lesson with this one.

That man no trust you, but that's his problem.

I'm not sure you understood the job description before picking it up. How can you say you are doing your job diligently and the same time leave your duty post. It doesn't make sense. You were not trained before getting the job. I once worked as a security man to a popular bishop in Edo State. The man really liked me because of how I took the job seriously. The day I left the job, the second day I drove to the premises in my father's clean car and they were shocked I was from a decent family. They probably thought I was hungry. Learn from this experience. You were wrong 100%. If I were your oga I will not pay the 3 weeks because I will claim you had probably been leaving your duty post for other side hustle.

You reminded me of "Useni" our gateman then.
As the last person leaves the compound for work,so he locks the gate and leaves for his "own" work too
You'd never find him at home during the day.
Was even magnanimous to duplicate gate keys and share to us as per ppl wey him use juju tie.
He was sacked later though.

His impetus was on steroids

I would have done the same Sir. You're too inquisitive

Standstrong:


Because they failed to understand my own point

You have no point,
You had only 1job, be at the gate and do the description,
Your first test and you failed, to crown it all up, you were doing another person's work

Ahh, it's bad, real bad,
Go finish clearing the grass use the 15k hold hand till u find something doing,

Sacking you for an offense you committed only once without warning to me is a bit harsh. If I were him I would issue a Stern warning then monitor you for compliance. He seem to sack you not because you left the gate but because you worked for a rival.

Even the next gateman he gets will still make same mistake as you, after all the pay for gatemen in Nigeria will not exceed 40k. Consider going back to beg him.
