Re: Are You Frustrated With Your Job,why Are You Still Keeping It? by simonns(m): 9:38pm On Dec 13, 2015 |
My first job after nysc, I was working for an Indian company. Terrible place to work. I was suffering & smiling, was working 9am - 8pm during the week, 9am - 10pm at end of the month, hardly closed in the afternoon on Saturday. All for 45k. My siblings used to laugh at me, they have good jobs. Initially, I was contented considering the rate of unemployment. After four months, I was fed up on a Saturday. I left work later than the time stated on my appointment letter. As usual, they expected me to stay longer due to work load. Told my immediate boss by mouth. The Indians were having a meeting, sent a text to the dept head. The Indian dude sent me a text few hours later informing me to stay at home on Monday. I replied him saying I expect payment of my entitlements. No regrets leaving the company, people suffering there. Bosses and married woman looking used and unkept. God help Nigeria. I thank God i'm now where I didn't think i'll be. God has been faithful. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Was once in this shoe. Lemme share a little Immediately I finished NYSC, I went for a teaching job to keep busy pending I get a better job but ensured I placed a time limit to be spent there (which helped me). Was collecting N28k and was just a 5min ute walk from home. The time I planned to stay was a year but after a year I was still stuck there. Hardly had chance to go for interview, d few I went for was with the excuse of being sick. Lol. After a year, started telling few peeps around me I might be quiting the job, but most said the same story of why quiting when you haven't gotten another one Was still hell bent on quitting and I took the bold step after a year and 3months,never informed anyone till I took the decision. My parent only knew when I Was still home the next day, lol. As usual was a shocker to them. But who cares, only he who wears the shoe knows where the pain is. After 6months of sitting at home, though was doing some biz which kept me busy,finally got double job offer at the same time. I knew I couldn't have gotten the jobs if I was still in that school cos no time for interviews. Moral of the story is, if you strongly believe that u ought to move forward please kindly do quit and have faith. P. S. The school proprietress didn't help matter, always grumbling and complaining with the stupid talk of "I can always get someone else so quit if u are tired" lol. Even after tendering my letter, she made my stay more tough. But upto date my students still contact me saying I should come back bla bla. Lol 10 Likes 1 Share |

i am so fUcking tired after working for two years for a meagre pay, poor working conditions n high level of disregard from my employer. My boss feels she is doing us a favor by employing us. Resigning is not an issue since she can always get someone else as a replacement any time afterall they are many fresh graduates who can equally teach as much as anyone of us for the same 30k or even less if we decide to leave. She cant even raise our pay as she promised. I dont like the job anymore. i am so depressed. So tired, my moral has dropped including my efficiency. i jus wanna leave buh i dont know whre else to go or wat next to do. i graduated wit a 2.2 despite being very sound in my field of study. reasons?? story for anoda day. Most gud companies always call for only 2.1 graduates for their entry level thereby making getting a better job somewhat difficult. Things are a bit tight for my family now. I really wanna make it in life even wit my predicaments buh i dont know How. i am scared of resigning coz i dont have anyone i can depend on till i get something beta. 3 Likes |

@hector, ur grade shouldn't set u back, 2.2 is still accepted and don't just focus on big firms only. I graduated with 2.2 and I got a job with not so popular firm but a very good package despite having no certification in what i do at the moment. Just believe and don't stop applying. Got my current job via NL job section. Wishing u the very best |

zeb04: You work in the fashion Industry! It doesnt go on break, have you however considered realigning yourself?? Giving ur best to the employer doesnt mean giving up ur life. U die or breakdown, you would as soon be replaced by another. Considering how much you earn, have you considered doing you own stuff?? |

I'm really baffled at the comments I'm reading here... So while many graduates are even looking for "any" job to keep body and soul together, others currently working are tired of their jobs? What a funny world! Abi na only Nigeria e dey happen? If so, what a funny country! 1 Like |

had a similar experience, bounced out like a boss after 3 months, without 2 months pay though. They were shocked. got another job a week later. bladdy wicked devils now own companies. thing is pple are scared of leaving due to fear of the unknown, not knowing they are dying slowly, by the time u decide to leave, you are weak, angry and in pains. like the frog and the hot water. |
