You were not wrong, you were simply being professional. Your story just goes to show that the company was an 'Okeke & sons' kind of firm. From carrying her handbag, maybe you would have graduated to washing her undies or warming her bed. Companies with such kind of corporate culture do not last long. I believe that employees should be treated professionally based on the terms of their employment, it is only people who are not worth their pay, that go around buttlicking around the place, inorder to keep their jobs. Don't be disheartened, God will provide you with something far better than that shithole of a place. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Don't mind people telling you that, you did the right thing... They only have that mentality because, she is female and it is very wrong. Many of them have and will carry their male's boss briefcase without blinking or thinking twice about it. She is your boss irrespective of her gender and your dealings should also be gender neutral unless she is coming on to you sexually, in fact some make bosses have a thing for their fellow men, so the 'coming on to you sexually' should be applicable both ways. 1 Like |

If your boss was a man, and you were a woman, there would be no controversy whatsoever. "He asked me to carry his suitcase and I refused." "Serves you right, proud bitch, you ought to respect your boss" 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Nneka123:Carry bag? Chai! Nneka don fall my hand. I'd tell her to her face: "sorry, but I find it rather demeaning to carry your handbag for you" and walk away. This is just one the reasons why I'd never choose to work for anyone but myself. One should know his worth. Don't let nobody push you around.

My man, you 're the real man. If I am in your shoes i will do same hundred times.One door closes and the other opens. That her father owns such average company doesn't make her superior to you or super woman. Last year alone i changed my girl friends here like pants because they girls said they are white and wanted to feel superior over me but i shocked them when i called their bluff and sent them away. Worst still i sent you away and I date your closest friend and if she bleeps up,i boot her out. You 're the real man. 1 Like |

Brother, cos of what you want to gain, you need to come down for such people, write an apology letter to her and call her and beg her. Be a man, you need the wages if it pays you. Remain blessed. |

So if she demanded he cleaned her office or go buy her food even as a professional, its ok to do so because she's his boss? There are ways of subtly snd politely asking for favours. not one boss,even the company chairman telling you to do what wasnt part of the job in the first place. i hate it when people start having a sense of entitlement because they're in a privileged position. its outright rubbish and even if he was going ti be fired it should have been on a reasonable ground. you just dont go abt asking your contemporary to carry your bag for you and when he didnt, you sack him. ITS WRONG!!! 4 Likes |

Humility is not that expensive, that single action if you did otherwise would catapult you to the next level. 'that guy is so simple and humble, I kina like him' that would have be the future outcome but you can apologize say you think she playing be romantic and diplomatic in your letter. |

Good riddance to bad rubbish! What nonsense!! You did the right thing dude...I'd do same a 100 times over. Most of these ladies that kinda manage their dad's firms can be a**holes. Yea she sacked you,but you have you pride as a man. There are jobs for us in the same line of business,dust you CV,and do the needful,you will get a better offer. Just remain focused and don't get emotional about the whole things. All the best bro... 2 Likes |
