after 20 years in industry in the western world, the combined influence of very toxic behaviour in office places and racism made me take the daring step to become self employed , its was as scary move with years of slow progress, but i thank God things getting better.

SO that now when i look back, i compare the idea of planning to spend your adult life working closely with strangers you dont know , to the same as planning to eat all your future meals in dirty public toilet.

You have no idea how disgusting people can be, until you are trapped in a job.

One day when employees are able to put a high price on bad office practice, companies will clamp down hard on those who see their colleagues in work place as fresh meat. And this is already happening with all the new career options becoming available thanks to communication technology like internet etc.

All i ever learnt from 20 years in IT industry in Europe was how to hate people, so had to move on from that scam, cause it is a rip off to work in environment where uncontrolled mutual hatred is allowed to run rampant,which is 99.9% of companies. The bigger the company the worse it is.

I say if kids really knew what their parents have to put up with at work they would cry in shame.

It is a form of ritual, by that i mean the spirit of toxic competition ensures that demonic possession spreads throughout the public.

If body and soul snatching aliens ran the world, i would summise that schools prepare the youths for their souls to be snatched when they start to learn how to hate people at work. Thats why people who have worked in those evil offices for years are never the same again, and thats why good men cant hold down a job, cause the environment is just too toxic.

Work from home improves the situation, but not enough, i prefer self employed the whole way!!!!!

Until the work place is no longer the dumping ground for bullshit behaviour , the whole idea is a rip off, cause you can do better alone if positve energy soul thiefs dont have free reign to operate around you.

They never teach the kids in school that the work place , the glass office is only really meant for all the wicked pupils in school, them at your own peril.

😭😭😭The story of my life, I nearly died in the hand of satanic work colleague who went diabolical on me, the competition is cut throat, everyone out to destroy another while smiling through it all, I had to run for my life and vowed never to work with strangers again, no more job employment, the devil lives in the corporate world, the love of money is the root of all evil being practicalised, no child of mine will work for anyone, they destroyed my life, and I'm still recovering, last I heard karma is locating them one by one. 😭😭😭😭

The best decision I made in my life was to know and accept Jesus as my Lord and personal saviour
Second was to walk away from my job and it's perks to start my own business
We are still on that journey but sometimes the certainty we are used to,is nothing but slavery

I was sent 3 employment letter from three different organisations for the role of Manager, I mistakenly chose the worst, then after 3 month I was relieved of my job..

I came to nairaland to seek advice on how to claim my other 2 rejected offer letter, and I was advised accordingly, today I'm in one of the job as the manager and doing very well..

I'm not only working smart and hard, I'm loved by my boss with a better salary, annual leave package, 13th month salary and other bonuses..

2years plus and I'm still on the job...

Nairalanders are very intelligent when it comes to dishing out advice...

You can go through the thread on my profile

have exit plan

Yes, it's a good idea ing on one's legacy through children. But it's not actually the best way to do it, let alone that the children would be born into slavery too.

The best way to one's legacy is through books, movies, music...... things of that nature. It would have more impact.

Hmm. You remind me of what I heard in a video game, yep, a video game. Metal Gear Solid: "Life isn't just about ing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt... anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will on. That's what I live for. We need to the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing".

I felt this way for a very long time, this is why I never bothered to get married, until I got to know about my lineage, then I have a change of heart. I can comfortably say "I want to get married and raise kids". 👌

I feel one day, you'll have a change of heart.

How do they do it,Expanciate bro

Workch:
yes but not free.
If I teach you free, you will runaway when it starts getting overwhelmed but when you know that you money is involved, it will motivate you

which state are you and how much will you teach me

I saw a job posting (freelance) on Linkedin. I filled the position, I was asked to take a test. At first, i thought it was some AI doing all the talk. Mind you, I had lost my Job around this time too.

I did not reply to the messages sent to be me by HR.

Anyway, the test was to write the first few chapters of a book on investments. I didn't want to take it, I thought it was a waste of my precious time. But, I was bored and thought "Let me just take the challenge." I hadn't written a book before too..

So, I did write an outline for a 30k-word book. My very first outline...I was then asked to write 5k out of the 30k word. I was still skeptical at this point. I still didn't reply to HR. I was just reading the messages, and doing as told. "I'm just whiling away time." Or so I thought.

I wrote the 5k word on the day of submission. I submitted it about a few minutes to submission deadline. I have never written that much in a day before. But, I was just challenged too.

I submitted it, and to my surprise, an Editor was assigned to inspect my work. oooops, so it's not automated chatbots. "With all the silly work I did?" or so i thought.

After about 3 days of edits, I was invited to the freelance community, as a "Top tier" writer.. Couldn't believe my eyes when i realized I had a higher rank than some folks from US and Canada. To top it off, after about a week, I got another invite to a "special niche" group of freelancers who tackle books on business and technology.

I messaged HR telling them that I hadn't taken a test to be promoted to this "special niche." They replied, "Your test sample was very good, so you automatically qualify for this section..."
shoooooo..... test sample wey i just do anyhow?? Somebody going to church now will say na god handwork.

Even till this day, I look at my writing, and think, I'm not good enough. it appears my eyes see the world through different lenses.

Stop being a decent begger in 2024, my little advice.

He ask for your help, you bash him, you don't need to be so Judgemental, many people needs help genuinely, though there are scammers but some really need it!! but, you guys decide to label everyone scammers, (we shouldn't throw the baby with the bath water nah) -- according to you he is a scammer, this world evolve in seasons, help if you wanna help, don't throw that person into further depression with your utterances...

Hahahahaa.

You wrote a book and so?

99% of authors never make any money or impact with their book.

I was waiting to hear- it was a bestseller or it has led to massive opportunities home and abroad.

Also you stopped believing in Jesus

And whatever you believe in now has done what exactly for you?

Neither of the things you mentioned came with tangible benefits

Basically, you wasted our time reading your piece

musicwriter:
I stopped watching TV in 2017.
My best decision ever.

I woke up one morning and decided that I'll never watch TV again in my life. I reasoned that it was a complete waste of time, so I removed my TV from the wall, called someone and asked him to pay anything he has and take it.

Within 3 weeks, I realized I had so much time to think, which is something I prefer to do.

Within a month I started writing a book.

I enrolled in an online university and studied hard. Within that period I thought deeply about Christianity and religions, I researched the history of Christianity and I stopped believing in Jesus.

That's when I became free indeed and my third eyes opened.

Bro, how did you use LinkedIn to get the freelance writing? I'm also a writer, a pro if l'm allowed to toot my own horn. Thanks.

emperor4love:

When you get to a level in life... nothing else worth more than your family.

Weak logic.

So to you there are only 2 sets of women out there.

1. Broke girls

2. Successful women who used runs to climb the ladder.

Is that as far as your eyes can see?

So all the hard working decent career women and decent female business owners are invisible to you?

hkidola00:
so a lady dat has a supermarket from the proceeds of runs or hookup is okay for you as long as she got something going....see i use to think like you but seeing things around, i become a bit drawn back when i see an independent lady, because you dont wanna have a wife an alhaji will be calling in the middle of the night, i prefer to roll with a broke girl than one which got established from doing runs

Trying so hard to sound intelligent but kindly read what I told him again and point out where I called him a scammer.
I told him not to be a begger in 2024 and if you think that's not a good thing to say to someone that's your problem. Thanks
