The Air Conditioned Hell by Cityofdavid(m): 2:23pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
You get the job and shout for joy, you tell your family and friends and they all carry out Thanksgiving on your behalf, you go to church and declare your testimony. Church members dance for you, the Pastor prays for you, everyone is happy for you. Two weeks later you realise you've just walked into hell, not the hell burning with fire as prophesied in the bible, not the hell burning with brimstone either, but a hell that's cold with air conditioner. You've just walked into the air conditioned hell. What or where is this air conditioned hell? It is always domiciled in a building, usually called an office. The chains are your computers, the sin that brought you there is the employment offer you accepted, the whip are sanctions thrown at you by bosses who don't care if you're thirsty or have to ease yourself, the demons are the bosses themselves who talk to you like you're a piece of shit, the devil is perhaps the high rate of unemployment in the country which pushed you into accepting such an offer without informing you that you were walking right into hell. You want to leave, but you're scared that even if you leave you won't make heaven (a better offer). So you remain there, you remain as a slave, working like a prisoner, the reward you get is just enough to take care of you. Your reward is usually not above 70,000. You remain there crying and dying secretly, time flies by, and the 70k is no longer enough for you, but you remain in that hell, for fear of the unknown, you're in hell, you know you're a slave, but you still remain there hoping for a miracle, unfortunately for you, you can't even go for other interviews, so you remain in that hell and burn away or should I say, freeze away. We have so many of such hell in Nigeria. Contract jobs in the bank are perfect examples, another perfect example is a call centre located in Ilupeju and owned by a bank. Shame the devil today, list other air conditioned hell you know. Written by Anonymous for The Social Microscope Weekly Source: http://facebook.com/thesocialmicroscope 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Truth is due to the high rate of unemployment and youth begging for jobs that pay as low as 10k is the reason why bosses these days take unemployed youths for granted. For examples jobs like Secretary and front desk the organization mostly use them as cleaners and messengers all in one for as low as 30k.. There are not laws protecting work environment in Nigeria. You see someone someone who on a good day can't tall to you would be making your life a living hell. Such jobs were you don't have time to pee if you don't leave you won't get a good offer cause you won't have time to go for interviews. 2 Likes |

bro u forgot ceiling fan hell...but I believe its all a means to an end |

Bro, everything in this country is hell. If you are complaining about paid employment, try setting up a business. You would have to provide all the necessary amenities yourself: power, water, capital, security, etc and at the same time endure constant fraudulent fees and charges. No wonder over 90 percent businesses crumble within the first 10 years. 1 Like |

Cityofdavid: Human being CAN never be satisfied no matter how good you are to them. Even if Buhari decide to pay every graduates #150,000 monthly, people will still complain. Please, can you recall when you were praying and fasting to get this job? You have got it and now complaining. You are lucky to have got a #70k job. I believed you did not make distinction to got the job. Distinction candidates are still looking 30k job and have never seen any. You better resign if you know that you are tired. I know you are only here to make mouth so that you make FP if not why not disclose your full names, department and the bank you work and be automatically exited by Tuesday. People are liking your post and making wave. Yeye Man! |

Air conditioned hell It's really pathetic; many people don't wish Mondays to come But then, I believe it's a passing phase; it can only get better, "air conditioned hells" are just stepping stones... 2 Likes |

chyna4luv:What are we saying, what is this doofus saying? Op is clearly complaining that his monthly remuneration isn't commensurate with the standard of living, add that to extremely strenuous and energy-sapping job he faces at the office everyday yet he can't afford to live a good life befitting an average graduate in any functioning country. It's seems getting a 30k job is your own dream job abi? .... And what's all the yap about distinction and 30k job? How does it even relate to what op is saying? 5 Likes |

op is not serious, if you dont like the job then resign. thousands are waiting for that type of opportunity, at least to start somewhere. am quite sure if you happen to be working in chevron youd still complain |
Re: The Air Conditioned Hell by Nobody: 8:21am On Mar 27, 2016 |
Safari29: you don't get the point the op is making. op is in the Same situation with millions of people, who just have to work for money. At a point u realise the money is not enough for u. you won't understand that situation if you've never been in it. I've been in it, and I understand perfectly what op is saying. I left a contract job in a bank for a job that pays less simply because I don't want to die of depression. I pray you don't find yourself in the situation the op is in. 1 Like |
