So,you cannot thank someone that God used to put food on your table.

I can't thank him/her for paying me my salary I earned with my sweat and time, he is only paying for my service he his not lending or dashing me money now.

I can thank him for any other thing but not for paying me my salary

It's a complete NO for me I can't be thanking my boss for paying my salary, I worked for it and deserve it, it's my right and not a privilege, it's the money I deserve after rendering my service and not a mere token or cash gift from my boss so I don't have to thank him because it's his responsibility to ensure my salary is paid at the end of service rendered


you earned it ooo , it was not as if you were dash, we should learn to be professional, so if you wrk in an environment where there is hundred or more employee,and you are not upporturn to see or have the contact of your boss who do you thank? Any boss who xpect u to thank her or him for you salary is toxic boss belive me

If that's all it takes to maintain peace and remain employed, why not? It is not necessary but it won't hurt you neither.

Heck! It takes only just a minute. It doesn't cost a thing.

Hate it or love it, there are reasons why people who kiss a$s get promoted.

If you don't like it, you have an option of opening your business. After all your boss has only one head like you.

Some useless Slaves who call themselves bosses wouldn't thank you back. Some extreme useless ones would even take It to another level by not reading your message, forming busy Ignoring your message with their useless ego and pride. Nigeria has the most Toxic environment of work In the world..

I wouldn't term it ego, maybe something along the lines of " I paid you for your services and we're even".

Showing appreciation for employees also encourages them and gives them a feel of being an integral part of the establishment.

All people we come across everyday love being appreciated. The bike man that just dropped you, the greeter at the bank or eatery, cleaner, shoemaker, e t c. It helps in making the world a lovelier place.

This is a clear indication of the kind of organisation you work for. It's most likely a business owner/ one man show business, it most likely lacks qualitative structure. It a very unhealthy place to both work for and lead.

Yes,you should thank him for giving you the opportunity to work with him and get paid.if you're innovative and resources enough you wouldn't have to work for someone,let me tell you employee beg to apply but employers brags to employ.thank you shows humility,no employer want to keep a proud. employee,

Shot up, the only thanks you have to give is by contributing your quota,puting hard work to make sure you do ur duty very well, Nigerian with slave mentality,be professional it is only wen u need eyes service that u need to thank your boss for ur salary every month

You are totally right to be honest. This Is exactly how things should be, I usually do everything you outlined. But some bosses In some work places are Toxic, Egoistic, Unappreciative & Prideful. They believe they are helping your sorry ass and without them you are nothing which Is totally wrong..

Life is simply simple. We are where we are today. We will be somewhere else tomorrow. How higher or lower, time and chance will tell. We just have to make the best of what life gives us to better ourselves and others on our path.

Well I believe there are still good and appreciative people out there. The Issue Is they are overshadowed by the latter..

Some people are the way they are because of life experiences others have made them pass through so I blame them not.

Another thing is not to be too engrossed with helping people. Your enemies can't betray you, only people close to you can.

So when humans behave funny, you don't feel bad or disappointed because it is expected. I just do what's in my whim to do and just gboju (look away).

For me it depends cos I receive pay from different mediums as a part-time teacher.

Now, some schools pay directly into my account. For these ones I don't say thank you except when I receive a pay raise from that particular school, then I can call to thank the director otherwise I don't.

You see the ones that pay by hand, I just feel courtesy demands you say thank you when you receive the money as you're sitted there with them cos it will be mannerless of you to just grab the money, sign and gerrout. So, for these ones, I say thank you.
In fact, there's one that always likes to rub it in my face that she's paying me by always complaining each time she's about to pay that " parents have not paid school fees. That she's just paying me from her pocket... Bla bla bla.. hm. Now, when someone tells you that, she's making it seem like shes doing you a favor therefore expects some thanks or appreciation from you. You will just have to say thank you.

Case closed.
I can feel u sis. I was once into teaching n it sucks
Re: What Is Your Take On Thanking Your Boss After Receiving Your Salary? by Learner247: 2:22am On Jul 31, 2022
Before now I only employed people to carry out tasks and pay them for it. So, when I pay them, I send evidence of payment to them for their information and my record. Usually they reply by saying they got the money and say thank you.
But recently, I employed some people on permanent basis and after paying salary, I decided to just keep record of the payment without sending it. I have not received any message from one of them. Whether he got it or not.. No comments.

I felt uneasy at first, but l had to talk to myself.

Bottomline, you worked for it, yes! But if it is a one man business, please acknowledge it and say thank you. Naturally, I thank you for doing your job. I also treat you with respect.

Personally, if I need to send someone off now, I will lay off that one person who didn't acknowledge receipt of salary even after receiving his salary 9 days upfront. In my line of business, I train you to do my work. So, I don't have problem laying off if I have to. Luckily he is on probation.

Well. You can acknowledge reception as some of them want, besides it's part of communication but walking into their office to thank them is a no no for me.

Yes, it is foolish and stupid. Your boss did not do you a favour by paying your salary.

Be careful with this thought pattern, it can land you in issues or career stagnation. A thank you won't kill or demote you. Instead it will save you some stress

It's pride not to say thank you. Irrespective of the person involved. Saying thank you, takes NOTHING away from you, but can get you SOMETHING. Sometimes, when I finished buying things from someone, I'll be the one to say thank you.
