Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative.

This is plain wicked and horrible!

STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

CHRONICLES OF A TROUBLED MIND.

Good day Mrs Kork,

I trust things are well with you and yours? Many thanks for creating this platform. God bless you.

I am a blog visitor and and an issue has been a burden to me and I need your advice if you'd be kind enough to oblige me.

I'll try to be concise. While I am grateful to God for his faithfulness,  for 2years, I have been working in a highly toxic environment, a place where they just want to hold you down and its affecting me emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. I summorn courage to engage in activities that render lil  or temporary succour to me.

I know what they say about Nigerian bosses but can't there be an exception? My bosses are very unprofessional. I love to work, I wouldn't consider myself as a lazy person, I believe I'm still growing and have a lot to learn but my bosses will have non of that. They will insult you and your family at the slightest error you make, call you all sorts of demeaning names and will stop at nothing other than driving you into a state of depression. 

Everyday, the employees are reminded about how useless and dispensable we are and how much of a favour our employers are doing us by paying us salaries and they do this in front of visitors, nobody respects us when they come to the office. Mind you, I work 8-7 everyday except weekends sometimes Saturdays. You have to be perfect while they are the masters of errors.

My immediate boss is a Buck passer.

My bosses are supposedly pastors but its a shame the kind of attitude they portray, they see themselves as mini gods and they acknowledge it. On several occasions, I have being aware of my bosses getting ladies laid in the office and these are married men. Sometimes, I think it might be my turn someday.

Our efforts are never bn appreciated. They make us feel incompetent and no matter how much you stick your neck out to get things done, you get insulted, ridiculed and they won't stop until you start crying.

I have tried praying for them but they seem to get worse by the day. Some mistakes are unavoidable but what would it cost them to just correct you, they would make sure you and your family are insulted before sending you off without making the correction and make you stay in the office till 9-10pm before they leave and would return the next day to continue from where they stopped.

We are not entitled to leave in my office. If you dare talk about it, get ready to be fired and they would tell you there's no job in Nigeria.

My life is suffering cos I can't sleep well at night as the event of the day keeps resonating in my mind and the night passes away, I wake to the same episode the next day. My social life is dead, I can hardly pray and I only get to grow resentment towards them which is bad for me. I never look forward going to work.

There's a lot to say Stella. My passion is event planning and management. I am very good at it, I do small jobs at times while I have tried to get some people to invest in me so I can be on my own, these men want something in return all the time and I can't trade  my body for any reason. I stay in Abuja and everybody seems to think I  must go the extra mile with my body even my bosses say i pretend a lot because i dont share their views on certain moral principles.

 I'm still in the job cos I have to carter for my family. I am a graduate, the first child and daughter. I am seeking for other jobs and even when I get Interview invitations, I can't secure permission for a break outside the office without insults and reminders that if I stay more than 30mins outside, I'll be fired.

I can't even go to the bank on my own except I'm on an errand, just last month, I was unlawfully debited over the weekend and I needed to report at the bank the following Monday as the money hadn't been reverted yet, my boss refused me to go even when I asked for the permission in the afternoon stating that I can't be taking permission to go to the bank on a Monday.

Just last week, I was suspended and still at home for insulting a colleague of mine that was harassing me sexually in the office, according to my HR, I shouldn't have done anything because he is my senior in the office. Can you just imagine this?

I'm feed up Stella, its not all about  the money all the time but when one is being robbed of one's peace of mine and sanity by people who only derive pleasure in  stepping on other people's head, the money doesn't count at the end of the day. I work in a private company.

My friends keep saying if I leave where would I go and that the devil you know is better then the Angel you don't know. Please are there Nigerian civilized bosses who care about the welfare of their staff and fight against workplace violence as that's what I'm am facing.

I am at my wits end as to what to do. I am not a failure and will never be.

Please forgive my chronicle. I need to remain sane hence I'm voicing out via this platform.

Please enjoy your day.

THIS IS HORRIBLE!!...Is there no Union regulating private firm owners treatment of staff?
