A Nigerian man on Twitter identified as Wole Odeyele is of the opinion that foreign bosses treat their employees better than Nigerian bosses.

Read his reasons;
"In my entire career, All foreign bosses respect weekends and after work hours.

In my experience, its only Nigerian bosses and HR that would try to price your wages down like slave drivers.

Foreign HR and Bosses are more concerned with paying you a fair wage to ensure you are well motivated

In my experience, foreign employers are less concerned with the appearance of work and more concerned with the content of work, so they allow flexibility in work hours and locations.

Nigerian employers stick with the traditional 8-5, and demand physical presence.

In my experience, foreign bosses aren't concerned about titles and ranks and try to create structures that are flat where everyone can collaborate with anyone.

Nigerian bosses are very hierarchical and you're most talk to your boss, who talks to his boss and he to his boss.

In my experience, foreign employers encourage open dialogs. Every decision can be questioned, challenged and reevaluated.

Nigerian employers are military styled. Questioning an instruction is considered insubordination and queries are issued like meal tickets

In my experience, foreign employers try to ensure profit sharing affects all employees. Everyone rises together or falls together.

Nigerian employers like to keep the juice at the very top and it won't trickle down. Even your annual bonus is questionable.

I promised myself never to work with non-multinationals again. We are incredibly close minded and shallow in our work styles.

I sometimes think our fellow country men are our own worst enemy in the workplace."

Only in Naija.....

Anything goes in this our country..

Also you can't leave your work a minute before time but closing few hours beyond your closing time is allowed and satisfactorily encouraged.

Well, same here in Asia especially if you're under Asian employers.. No matter how big or small the biznez is, they are not bothered about the wellness of their employees & some foreigners are following that kind of mentality as well

You work hard & sometimes if u dont know how to exercise ur rights u will end up underpaid..

Multinational company is the sweetest place to work.

That is why the foreigners are increasing from all angles.


It seems many Nigerian love to cheat. All stated above amount to cheating.

Sincerity pays.

The funny thing bout d whole thing is dat some would actually make u feel as if yuh doing nutin when yuh actually dying on yuh table,that is why majority of our organisations never grow beyond,because of excessive back biting,d so called senior colleagues never take corrections n wouldn't even allow u to correct em,they believe they know it all,while we all know that most of em don't actually know sh!t.... Buh it's well,untill we make enough money to establish ours, i believe dix x d amount of sh!t we have to cope with daily to make a living....

Mine called me on Monday saying that he heard I didn't work over the weekend. I told him yes, that I come to work from a different town, he now said that my colleagues worked over the weekend and I was in my house gallivanting . Gallivanting kwa? On a weekend? When I tried to counter a suggestion he made, he now told me that if we were in the military, I should be answering him "yes sir yes sir", that he's the one issuing the command and not me.
When we saw yesterday, he continued from where we stopped over the phone

Their mentality is this; if I pay you salary, I own you.

K

Really?

i tired for that one, them go come put one yeye meeting on saturdays , you go stay stay longer than the working hour

Replace "Bosses" with "Lecturers" and you'll still get the same answer.

Foreign Bosses are not concerned about titles, ranks etc ..... very true.
Foreign Bosses are not concerned about your dressing ..... very true.

In fact, he spoke the undiluted truth!
Nigeria is what it is - HECTIC!

True talk

"Buh" "Yuh" "bout" "nutin".....

Abeg which kain English u dey type so?

Business is more suitable to run in developed countries.

But here in Nigeria, so many oppositions have to be conquered to stay afloat.

Notwithstanding, employees that work overtime and on Weekends should be allotted additional allowance.

Where in Asia are you

This guy never work in a bank were you report 6:30am and close 9pm and some useless people will be calling you over the weekend that ATM run out of cash.

I thank GOD for my little computer school

U now ask where is labour in all this. All they want is to go on strike, but the little things they need to look into so as to make d work environment friendly, they will never do it

Most Nigerian led organizations know nothing about paying for overtime or pretend to be oblivious of it

Some foreign bosses are into the act too.Do your research very well.I have worked for foreign bosses and worked on saturdays for 7 years. Though it depends on which types of foreigners you are talking about.Some foreigners are in Nigeria just to exploit you and pay you peanuts.Especially indians,lebanese,Turkish,etc.

Very true
