Your boss calls you a “useless fool” over a typo, but the pay is good.

@robertaorioma asks Rapheal Idu what the employee should do.

His answer? LEAVE.

Can a good salary ever make up for daily verbal abuse?

WFH but your boss calls and you’re in the market buying pepper. 😭🍅

Our Episode 8 guest says poor remote-work etiquette is VERY real.

If the work gets done, should your employer care where you are during work hours? 👀

Being under pressure doesn’t remove the responsibility to communicate respectfully.

Creative environments can be fast-paced and demanding, but where should we draw the line between direct leadership and disrespectful communication?

🎥 Episode 7 of Why I Hate My Boss is out now

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Not every boss leaves you with trauma. Some leave you with lessons. 👏🏾

Kameel shares how an early boss shaped the way he still works and runs his business today.

What lesson from a former boss has stayed with you?

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

One workplace lesson Kameel learnt: document everything.

After a verbal instruction, send the confirmation email.

Because when it becomes “I never said that,” at least the email trail has entered the chat. 😭

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

“Someone else may be using your work to speak for themselves.”

Barr. Oluwajoba Oloba’s reminder: Talk about what you do. Be visible.

How do you make sure your work gets recognised? 👀

She had the ideas. Her manager had the access.

Barr. Oluwajoba Oloba shares how her manager would present her ideas as his own.

How do you make sure your work gets recognised? 👀

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Work-related mental health issues are real.
But our guest believes the term has become so loosely used that it risks losing its seriousness.

Do you agree?

Where do we draw the line between normal work stress and a job genuinely affecting your mental health?

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Your workplace emailing your PARENTS because you came late or made a mistake at work is INSANE. 😭

Are we employed or are we in secondary school???
@robertaorioma read this mail on Episode 5 of #WhyIHateMyBoss and we need answers.

Would you stay? 😭

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Passion is important. But money sustains growth. 👀

Onyebuchi Jefferson joins us for Episode 5 of #WhyIHateMyBoss to talk passion, money, work and the lessons experience teaches you.

🎥 Episode 5 is OUT NOW on YouTube https://t.co/tZthlMTPrU

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

It took our guest 7 YEARS to forgive a former boss. 😭😂

SEVEN.

At that point, we need to know what happened. 👀

Episode 4 of #WhyIHateMyBoss is full of workplace stories.

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

You were hired as an EA. Now you're handling your boss's domestic life too.
At some point, you have to say:
“This is no longer my job description. We need to draw a line.”

Tomi says employees shouldn't be afraid to have these conversations.
Would you speak up?

#WhyIHateMyBoss

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

No closing time.
Can't leave before the boss.
“Did you come to work with your brain?” 😭

And because our guest Tomi Ogedengbe is also Co-founder of tax consultancy firm TDA Practice, we squeezed in a little tax talk too. 👀

“Did you come to work with your brain?” 😭

Yeah… Tomi Ogedemgbe has STORIES. Bad bosses, blurred boundaries and workplace behaviours we’ve normalised for far too long.
Episode 4 of #WhyIHateMyBoss will be OUT by 4Pm on YouTube. 👀

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Work finished ✅
Closing time reached ✅
Boss still in the office ❌
So everybody stays. 😭
Our Episode 4 guest worked somewhere employees couldn't leave until the boss did—even when they had nothing left to do.
If your work is done, should it matter who leaves first?
#WIHMB

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Your employee makes a mistake.

Your response:

“Did you come to work with your brain?”

😭

Correction is part of the workplace. Humiliation shouldn't be.

Tough boss or disrespectful boss?

Episode 4 of #WhyIHateMyBoss is coming. 👀

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Know your worth. But also understand that opportunities aren't evenly distributed.

Sometimes the job you WANT isn't available yet, and the job you CAN get pays significantly less for similar work.

Is taking it strategic compromise—or settling? Where's the line?
#WhyIHateMyBoss

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

“Other duties as assigned” until you’re doing school runs and taking your boss’s children shopping. 😭

@robertaorioma has seen things. 😂

What’s the wildest task a boss has given you that had absolutely NOTHING to do with your actual job?

#WhyIHateMyBoss

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

While they're interviewing you, interview them too.
How HR communicates
How the recruiter treats you
How they respect your time
How they respond to questions
There's a difference between straightforwardness and disrespect.
Sometimes the red flags appear before Day 1
#WIHMB

[THE CLAN PRODUCTION STUDIOS @theclanstudios]

Privilege isn't always just access.
Sometimes, it's growing up with the expectation that the world has something for you, and believing you have enough value to ask for it.

Makes you wonder:
What haven't you asked for because you didn't believe you could?
