I have this friend of mine(name withheld),he used to be a teacher in a secondary school,but late last year he was given an employment opportunity through connection from his dad because the manager has this mutual relationship with his dad,my friend is intelligent,smart and humble,that's his character.

When he got a job in that company it has made him not to have enough time for himself, according to him,he works from Monday to Saturday,even risking his life by going to work on sit-at-home days since he's in the East of Nigeria, this has also affected his church activities, and he closes by 5 sometimes 8pm everyday, because the director I.e the owner of the company has mandated everyone to.

The company pays him moderately but he is loosing his peace,he doesn't rest well,stressed out,and according to him the director uses people slavishly in the company,the few months he has worked there the company pays lately and quickly deducts money in ways that are quite unfair,they give no leave to workers,they give you just two days to attend to some emergency like death of a loved one,you come to work even very ill and with a doctor's report.

My friend told me that he has been observing it ,the director is so bossy and talks down on people arrogantly and disdainfully, working there one day a worker lost his dad and had to attend to it,but unfortunately stay for 4 days, but when he came back, instead of to be sympathized with,he was insulted by his boss, queried and sent home, just for the day he arrived.

Now my friend is thinking of leaving there,but they promised him of juicy offers,in terms of salary, but being also affected by this,he thinks that that's not the right place for him,a place according to him has no medical officials incase of dangers or accidents,a place of no welfare package for workers,now he is in between trying to please his dad or quit the job no matter what,because he just told me that his heart is no more there....

But my question is;
Why do some companies treat people as slaves?

The tin tire me.
these set of people do last longer then kind ones

I believe the majority of these maltreatments stems from the flawed character of the bosses. Some of the characters they show stem from who they have been from
birth/childhood, others were acquired along the way in response to hostile environments and the vicissitudes of life.
O.P advise your friend to save up as much as he can and plan his exit from the company.

since your friend believe he can get a better job, let him leave so that someone grateful will get that job!

life aint easy and if you think that you can dictate how your boss can treat you, then you better wake up from your daze.

Because they know employees don't know their rights.
.
.
Even if they do, there is scarcity of jobs so being sacked and not having a job immediately would make employees stay put and condone their rubbish!

Evil people are taking advantage of the situation of Nigeria and the bad quality of Nigerian leaders at all levels. The Nigerian labour congress should be the worst in the whole world. They can't even fight for public workers much more private workers. Accepting to work for most private firms in Nigeria is equivalent to signing into slavery.

It's either he copes and adapt or go back to teaching.

You blind? Is anything regarding laziness there?

Seems you don't know the meaning of stress out and lack of peace and time for yourself.

But my question is;
Why do some companies treat people as slaves?

I left my previous boss to sit at home
She nags and abuses the staff I met there
Though she has never done that to me before it happened
I packed my load
Abeg I’m better off like this

Every one should be treated with respect,no matter how small or big the person is

My own opinion is that ,he should endure a little bit till he get a better offer

Even people have left jobs that the authority treat you well for different reasons such as education, family, distance etc

Moreover harsh working environment but some people can endure it too.

Also most private work in nigeria are similar to such too

But excuse like insult, someone not pitied for over staying a leave aren't tenable

So the ball is in your court

Let him remain there till he dies on the job. It seems he doesn't value his life.

Nothing last for ever

I would never understand why some bosses pay their employees late, what will it cost you to pay them at right time? Aside this, people's management is not an easy job.your friend should weigh his options.

Sometimes the character of employee is what makes some bosses become wicked over time. You need to be an employer of labour to understand why some bosses are mean.

Lol

*Let your friend Make the decision to stay or go. The first step in dealing with a toxic boss is to make a realistic decision about whether you want to stay or go.

*Do your work as at when due ,don't get drawn in and Don't be a target! Do not gossip your boss with your colleagues cos you never can tell who will spill to him for favour. Stay focused and Remember this current job is not forever.

May God be with you!

Some bosses are easily taken for granted too if they are gentle with their workers.

They call it business minded

I will never work for an abusive person. Also, any job that will take away all my time and peace is a no-go area.

Am sure the boss is a female. I can never work for a female boss again in my life and I'll never advise any of my younger ones (males) to work under a female boss. They can be saucy, arrogant and religiously wicked.
