Please Help! I Am In A Dilemma by Lifeisunfair: 8:50am On Oct 25, 2017 |
I got a job beginning of this month and the pay is not much but I decided to take it up rather than staying idle, coupled with the fact that I am squatting too. Now yesterday, I got a call from a recruitment firm who I've had 3 interviews with, their client inclusive that I have been selected and the company will send in the details (offer letter and resumption date). Now the company will pay almost double of my previous salary, other incentives and bonus abound(I believe). I called the recruitment agency back and informed them that I haven't gotten any mail from the company yet and they told me that the company will do that, but they don't know when. Now my predicament is that I need to tender my resignation and train someone to take over from me at least one week before I leave to avoid stories about my salary. But I haven't received any mail yet from the company since yesterday after the call. I don't know the possible resumption date as the month is coming to an end and I can't tender my resignation yet as I haven't gotten any mail. Please, what can I possibly do in this situation? |

wow!! Tough one, You will have to negotiate with the new company to give you time to resign well. They should know implications of not resigning properly. Please dont quit your present job until you are very sure about the new one, this same thing happened to my frnd. 6 Likes |

kunlesufyan: When they asked my notice period during the interview, I said immediately as I was unemployed then. Still waiting for their mail. I don't want to loose this opportunity. The interview process was a tough one and I don't want to be replaced with a back-up 2 Likes |

Gaybu: I can't train someone without my boss' consent. She has to be aware and I haven't tendered the resignation yet. I need the money for transport and feeding. Have almost spent more than I earn. 1 Like |

Desperate Times calls for desperate measures. Then inform her that you are going once you see the mail or you act like a typical Nigerian and do otherwise Lifeisunfair: |

Lifeisunfair:See, forget all these stories you have to train someone for a week, whatever happens, the way i am seeing it, the month has ended and you'll get your pay soon, except they don't pay early. Keep mute, don't even let your current employer know you've got an offer on the way. Once the offer come, move. Phew. If you've sign an agreement, you can always make a refund of that amount if you need to. More-so, you wont be needing a reference from them as your prospective employer doesnt know you are working already,. 9 Likes |

Lifeisunfair:Lol, your case hard. How much is the money? You will make more in your new place. I guess, you still need to ball out on her whatever the case it. Integrity doesn't matter much if she wanna fire you. Employer and employee relationship is not a romantic one. I am in your shoe currently, i have given a month notice and we have 2weeks left. But in my case, the new employer gave me the grace. So, if you cant get the grace, run off. 4 Likes |

Just chill, get the offer letter and resign your current appointment. Never be in a haste to resign your current employment in the hope of getting an offer. Let me share with you my own experience. When I was done with NYSC I applied for so many jobs in my field and was going for interviews and tests like twice a week. I had like 3 companies I was eyeing. So I was called to resume in one of the companies which I saw as a small company. I was reluctant to go because I was expecting offer from the bigger company, but since the small company expected me to resume immediately, I had no choice but to resume the next day after collecting my offer letter. Fast forward, I was called by the bigger company not to come and resume, but for another round of interview. By then I already had 4 months job experience. Imagine if I had declined the small company's offer and waited at home, that would have been the same way I will be frustrated sitting at home checking my mail and phone 24/7 for the next 4 months, only to be called for another round of interview. And the funniest thing, I latter got to know the so called small company is not as small as I had thought as an outsider. I've never regretted joining them. What am saying is, just wait till the much sought after offer comes and you can make your move. 12 Likes |

@BlueRayDick Thats what she needs to understand. If you fee the new place offers you the kind of career you want, move. That place she works self smells of one man buz. It reeks of pains and uncertainty. 2 Likes |
Re: Please Help! I Am In A Dilemma by Lifeisunfair: 10:20am On Oct 25, 2017 |
BlueRayDick: That was insightful. In another scenario, a friend of mine was called to resume in a firm on a friday. Meanwhile, she has already tendered her resignation before the call and friday was her last day with her company. She begged the prospective employer to give her that friday to round up so that she can resume on Monday. The prospective employer didn't acquiesce to her request because he said they needed someone to start immediately, but he said he will keep her in view of future openings. She lost the job which was double of her previous salary. 1 Like |

Re: Please Help! I Am In A Dilemma by Lifeisunfair: 10:22am On Oct 25, 2017 |

Lifeisunfair:That guessing of graduate money is relative o. Youll marvel at some graduate salary if you hear the figures. Lifeisunfair:Madam, just wait patiently for the offer. So far they reached out, youve gotten the job(I almost killed myself after doing medicals and didnt receive offer after two weeks, but it came). They may have internal issues being sorted out. Just keep doing your job as if nothing is happening. |

Lifeisunfair: That's sad. That was a big dilemma for her. I guess she didn't ask for people's opinion, if she did the problem could've been solved from ideas she will get from people who has been in similar positions before. |
Re: Please Help! I Am In A Dilemma by BlueRayDick: 11:22am On Oct 25, 2017 |
Lifeisunfair: @bolded that is not always true. In fact, that is why you are anxious when you should be relaxed. Some standard organizations can call you to come and resume anytime, whether beginning of the month or not. I remember resuming 15th of the month and getting salary on the 23rd(half month salary prorated). Aswear I shock ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |
