Ways You Can Avoid Being Used By Selfish Nigerian Employers (14089 Views)

1. YOUR SALARY IS NOT PART OF YOUR EMPLOYER'S PROFIT : The money your employer pays you monthly as salary is not part of his profit; it is part of his or her cost of running the business. Since you do not share in his or her profits, you should not also share in their losses. There is an agreement between you and your employer that you are going to carry out specific duties which you will be paid for. Anything that makes your employer to pay you half salary in a month or withhold your salary due to so-called absence of funds should not be acceptable. If an employer cannot pay workers, he or she should close down the business or sell it off.

2. IF YOU SEE YOURSELF IN AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOESN'T ISSUE EMPLOYMENT LETTERS: Whenever you find yourself working in an organization that does not issue employment letters to workers, just know that you are not working but just 'hustling'. Such type of employees do not deserve resignation letter when you want to leave. Just leave when you want to leave; don't dignify them by giving them a resignation letter. If you are not worthy to be issued an employment letter, they are not also worthy to receive a resignation letter from you. Do not dignify them with one. There is no binding labour law backed by the constitution between both of you.

3. DO NOT WORK BEYOND YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION : Humans are very selfish oftentimes. When you go out of your way to carry out other duties that are not included in your job description, they automatically become part of your job description. Everybody likes mumu, but the day mumu becomes wise, mumu will become a bad person. That's how how some private school owners use their teachers to do odd jobs such as clearing grasses, cooking and doing domestic chores. I have a friend who used to work in a private school. Within 3 months of employment, his boss converted him to a driver and personal assistant while still working as a teacher on top 30k salary.

4. IF YOU SPEND YOUR YOUTHFUL DAYS...: If you spend your youthful days working for people, you may end up a poor sad fellow in old age. As you dey work, make you dey invest too.

Number 3 is very important oh

"Everybody loves mumu but the day the Mumu becomes wise, the Mumu becomes a bad person"

Infact the most popular people in every office is always the Mumu.

My yoruba people will always say in everything you do always ensure you leave room for disagreements. Hence, don't be too nice or get too close to your boss.

Make sure you keep everything professional.

The best job is to work for your self, don't be a stepping stone in someone else's pyramid, you are replaceable, don't deceive your self when they praise you to be the engine room of the company's success..

If you're working in an organisation with no employment letter, you'll definitely work beyond your job description... It's crazy.

Generally speaking, humans like "using" humans. When you try to inquire why, they tell you it's " Smartness".

Selfish souls! sad cool

I concur, in Nigeria Labour supply outstrips demand, maybe because of population size. The job you are refusing to do for 30k a month will be gladly taken up by multitudes waiting in the shadow.
