This is it.
Everything you’ll feel in a toxic work environment, you’ll feel worse as an unemployed broke person.
Stay and plan your exit.
Of course except the toxicity is now eating into your pay, (salary deduction and all) then what’s the point? I’m only still here for the money
CEO: Ada resigned. Approve a replacement, senior level.
Finance: The market rate for that role is now almost twice her salary.
CEO: That cannot be right.
Finance: It is. She was underpaid for three years.
CEO: Why did nobody flag it?
Finance: She did. Twice. Both requests are in the system, declined.
CEO: Declined by who?
Finance: By the cost-saving policy you approved.
CEO: So we saved her raise and now we pay double for a stranger.
Finance: Plus recruitment fees. The saving was the most expensive thing we did all year.
My dad discovered voice notes last year and has fully replaced phone calls with them, He just sends long, unedited, stream of consciousness voice notes sent at random hours. I receive them like dispatches from another world.
Voice note received 6:47am
Dad: (sound of kettle in background)
Good morning. I was thinking about you. I saw something on the television last night about young people and stress and I wanted to check on you. Are you eating. I hope you're eating. Your mother made stew yesterday it was very good. I told her to send you some but she said you live far. I said that's what couriers are for. She said I don't know how to use the courier app. I told her I would do it. I haven't done it yet but I will. Anyway. Call me when you wake up. Or send a voice note. Your mother says you never call. I told her you're busy. Are you busy? Don't be too busy. Okay. Have a good day. Eat something. Bye. (paus It's dad by the way.
Me: (listens to entire two minute voice note)
Me: (it is 6:47am)
Me: (sends voice note back)
Me: Dad I know it's you. You're the only one who sends voice notes this long. I'm eating. Tell mum I'll call this weekend. Also you don't need to say bye and then keep talking and then say bye again.
Voice note received 6:51am
Dad: (laughing) Okay okay. Bye.
Me: (smiling at phone at 6:51am)
Me: (this is actually the best start to a morning)
@fkeyamo Hon. Minister sir, @MaxAirLtd moved our flight from 6.30pm to 9.30pm only to come by 10.46pm to tell us that the flight has been cancelled. They do not also have any other flight till Monday. Nigerians are stranded at the airport here. @adeyanjudeji
I used to rush to refuel once i hit quarter tank, now I check the dashboard, see the fuel light on and I’m completely unfazed 😭 6 months of this, what is Nigeria turning me into? 🇳🇬
Half of the time, the “peace” a lot of men ask for when they talk about wanting a partner that brings peace is silence and acceptance when they misbehave or act disrespectfully.
@ProvidusBank It's been over 1month since I tried to recharge my airtime line from my Providus app, I've called, sent emails and yet I'm being treated like I don't exist on providus platform. I need my money refunded
I pay 42% tax every month in Germany but if:
1. I loose my job, the govt pays me 60% of my salary and help to find a new one
2. I have access to 3 years leave if I have a baby with a percentage of my salary and my job will wait for me until I resume.
3. Education is free in govt schools from primary to PhD
4. For every child I have, they get paid €250 monthly until they turn 18
5. I can buy a monthly ticket of €56 monthly and can travel all around the country via train (not high speed) and buses.
6. At any emergency, once you call the ambulance, it arrives within 20 minutes
7. Deffribilators and SOS access are available at every train station and high ways.
8. If I get stock in a country, I call the govt and they come to my support.
Let me stop here.
You that will pay about 30% tax in Nigeria that was copied 90% from the UK tax law, what will you get?
2026 owes me my big girl career. One that comes with financial stability, career progression, occasional travel, a good work environment and great colleagues
