Intellectuals and the good people of nairaland. I just experienced one of the biggest shocks of my life.

As a student of the federal university, I saw a publication for the post of a front desk at a big cyber cafe close to the north wing of our school gate. I applied and followed the recruitment exercise which took 3 weeks of test and interview.

Out of 15 of us that applied for the job of 25k per month, I was picked. I loved it because it only start from 4pm till 9pm. Normally our lectures is from 7am till 1pm. I was happy because it will help me save for my school fees and I hoped to liaison with the students there to learn graphic designing. A skill I love but finance is a burden to enrol and to get a PC.

I was told to resume on Monday. I went there in the evening and the owner came and say my services are no longer needed. I was shocked. I asked him what I did? He didn't answer me. It was the other staff, the manager that told me he will communicate it to me. From Monday till now, I didn't hear from them.

Please, what should I do? I am confused. For those who had similar experience what was your cause. I am so so sad with this. My hope is dashed.



Send me a pm,i will give you laptop free and pay for you to learn graphic design,you will make more than 25k monthly as a graphic designer.

The last time I saw something like that it was religious bigotry. The owner found out that the intended staff was of a different religion and fired him on the spot.

Often amazes me how Nigeria is so messed up to the point youths can actually be working for 25K per month.

That's approximately 25 dollars with today's exchange rate.

You're basically meant to survive on less than a dollar daily. Darn!!
that's is why we are the poverty capital of the world. Poverty is measured as surviving below $2 per day.

I will advise Nigerian youths never to apply for a job at integrated service. Coco warehouse in ladipo oyewole. Off oba akran Ikeja, directly opposite Guinness. That man can hire you now and fire you in the next one hour. If you manage to stay for at least 3 month I promise you that man will give you BP.
this is finishing grin

1. Its your first day, why didn't you go earlier?

2. How did you dress?

I can go on on on...

Just save yourself the stress and ask the manager. They owe you an explanation.


How did he dress? Are you kidding? cheesy
Most likely decent enough as a student that he is.
All that interrogation because of a 25k job they took back.
Re: What Did I Do Wrong, That I Was Hired And Laid-off Same Day? by Alexxx2000: 9:28pm On Oct 04, 2023
Sir, I did none of such. I clearly understood the general work ethic of not engaging in unhealthy chit chat and I didn't use the convenience Sir.


APOPTOSIS:
Hmmm....
Did you make any unhealthy gossip at your new place..?
What about your general hygienic state?

I once fired someone who always went to the toilet and left his untidiness visible to everyone despite having a good and efficient lavatory in place.

Just bless God in every situation. It may be a blessing for you, some employers are evil, and if they discover your star is beyond their control, they let you go

Well, I have been an ADMIN officer in two firms in Lagos and now a logistics mgr in a Facility Maintenance Company. Those things sounds flimsy but are sometimes important to the employers.

The story sounds skewed or twisted, otherwise they ought to tell him/her why the engagement was nullified.

EmekaStanley:
That's quite inconsiderate of him.

But what I think is that he felt he could have negotiated 20k or even lesser as the salary, especially with the way students are queuing for the job.

He felt 25k was 'a lot', reason he fired you even before you resumed.

Don't worry, you will get a better one
nothing like that his been bullied out and nothing bigger it's waiting for him.

I feel your pain. Be consoled that God is aware of our predicaments and struggles. You will surely be compensated. Just be good and strive legitimately.

Godwits preserved your life. He went to check if you can be used for the next sacrifice. They told him you will scatter his life cos your head is too strong. Thank ur God and gods. Wait for a better one . Most business owners out there are into deep fetish ways….

Kneel down and keep praising God for what he has just done for you. If the management can be so unreasonable, high-handed, inhumame, erratic and unstable, then imagine what your life would have been like working with such clowns for 3 months.
You have no idea what you just dodged.
