Good morning Nairalanders.
I was called to teach in a private school last month and I resumed work immediately without hesitation.
The school I was called to teach is a Nur & PRI school with 100+ pupils with the minimum of #12500 naira as school fees for each pupil, maximum of ten teachers including Nanny, I was asked to teach in primary six with about 11 subject, and I did that with the whole of my heart, when the month end, I received #6000 as my salary.
Please Naira Landers your advice is needed on what to do, we are starting exams next week and I have set the exams questions and handed over to him, should I quit the teaching and move on or should wait and see.
Though am awaiting for my NYSC, possibly next year when the portal is opened for fresh registration. The head master promised to work it out for me to serve in his school after my camp.

Please your advice is needed. Thank you all.

Didn't you agree on a salary before resumption of work?

But you're almajiri na, you should appreciate that 6k, almajiri will jump on 6k which you did. Happy teaching

Get sense

WOW

Why do I find it hard to believe? How can you work for four weeks to 6k is it not better you stay at home and read books instead?


What do you intend to do with 6k
Subscribe for Internet?
Buy call cards ?
Pay for your laundry?

Although I don't believe this story but if it's true then it's not worth it.

Go to where you are valued. 6k will not even buy you Data in a month. Finish the exams and quit the job otherwise you may not be able to open yourself to better opportunities.privTe s hooks are all about profit mostly and only a few schoolc care about Staff welfare

Funny thing is, I once worked for 10K pre-NYSC.

Looking back now, I regret it.

Even the devil knows that if anyone offer me such poverty striken figures, I might end up cursing the individual.

Yes sir, the man has been telling me from day one that we'll talk about the money tomorrow till it reached month end with same story

I really felt bad about it

Lol

Guy, stop going to that school.

Besides, never start a work without negotiation.

No sir. The man has been telling me right from day one of my resumption that we'll talk about the money till the Month ended he now gave me 6k

you waited on his feedback too long... the moment he told you that you guys would discuss the money part, right there and then, you should have demanded to know what would be coming in for u.
I don't do anything without a formal agreement. well, if u think u can manage with the 6k, u can keep going till you go for service. But OP, na u dey dah picture wey dey up?

Big mistake on your part. And also a big lesson. Always make sure everything is clear before you start working: salary, working days, resumption and closing, clear cut job description etc.

The man is wicked for paying such peanuts but then again he hasn't done anything illegal (except it is illegal to pay below minimum wage).

Anyway, what's done is done. I'll advise you to finish the term completely (since you have already set the exam questions, all that remains is invigilation and marking) and then resign.

No matter how badly I have been hurt by my former employers, I always tried to leave on good terms. You never can tell when you might need a signature or reference letter years from now. This world is a small world.

I'm sorry but it's laughable
Where are you based ?

MARSHALDEMSA202:

we have all been there before. But 6k is very small after the exam by January don't return move on God will make a way for you. Even if it's carrying blocks in building site with your certificate it's better .

:Didn't you agree on a salary before resumption of work?Yes sir, the man has been telling me from day one that we'll talk about the money tomorrow till it reached month end with same story

Nothing is more stupid than a graduate asking whether to wait for 6k job or not.
Shey you de whine me ni?
You didn't even negotiate how much your stipend would be.



Wait of 6000 ABI 60000?

Quit

Guy I'm embarrassed to hear this.
Pick a skill, go sell pure water, do something other than teaching in that school.
They sell more.
2014 at age 17 I was earning 15k and bonus of 2k with good sales for selling pure water from truck. That standard got to me that I can't find myself collecting less than what I'm worth.
The moment you do that you rubbish yourself.
Had an encounter with an Indian, I didn't know he was Indian until he started misbehaving and I looked him up.
He requested for my services and was going to pay 5 dollars for 5, something I don 5 to 10$ for 1.
I accepted based on just getting an additional review,
The guy started acting like his the boss, throwing orders here and there, calling me names when he wasn't satisfied. I kept shut and gave him his work when I was done, after all he came back a week later and placed and order for Sam's thing, this time with 8 for 5$ I just laughed and cancelled it.

The moment you take yourself down. You'll be taken advantage of.
Stop that work, don't even negotiate with the man, it's evil.
Any school that can't pay its staff at least the same amount a student pays for their fees is ...

Na waooo,Oga you fall hand die.

Na una dey spoil work for private school teachers.How can you work in a school for a whole 4weeks without negotiating your salary? You are even asking us what to do? The wicked headteacher will even brag to having employed a graduate and paying him #6k.


Is it not better than one million menial jobs? Sometimes,white collar jobs na scam!!!
