Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative..

 Hmmm.....




STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
TOXIC BOSS




My boss is a verbally abusive person. Have you seen where someone will insult you till you loose your self esteem, i feel like mine is being threatened now.

 I used to like him very much but right now, i despise him much more than i ever liked him, i used to think that the verbal abuse will not get to me but right now i am very vulnerable, i cry over every little thing, i have gotten to a stage that i just look at him when he starts, i dont bother to defend myself anymore, i just let him say all he has to say and i cry silently. i cannot tolerate it anymore, my mental health feels threatened.


I abuse drugs now because i believe that is the only way i can get through the day. There is hardly a day that this man doesnt find faults or mistakes. He looks for loopholes and picks on every mistake, he expects you to be perfect while he himself is not. 


He hates the truth and no one dares face him to tell him even when he is wrong. When he does something wrong, he still ends up blaming me for it. He is toxic, aggressive, possessive, over bearing, controlling. He can be supportive financially but these other characters is beginning to outweigh the good he does.

 I am a very patient and tolerant person but right now my tolerance level has dropped to zero and I am always very cranky, sad, intolerable, angry. 


See this person will want you to crawl on your kneels to beg him if there is a mistake but all that is in the past now. I really cannot tolerate anymore. I am not perfect myself but this is too much for one person.


 I hate going to work and my salary is not even worth all these that I am going through here but as a single parent, i cant afford to resign and do nothing. I AM JUST TIRED. EVEN MY TIRED IS TIRED. But I still believe God will make a way.



Why dont you just resign and walk away before it gets worse?

    3. Resignation will not solve the problem. First, you are not the problem, your boss is. Your boss has deeply rooted unresolved personal issues which he may not want to admit to himself. He is not alone, as a lot of Nigerian employers especially one man businesses are very toxic individuals who feel they own their staff since they pay them. You need to man up, develop a thick skin and overlook that childishness to do your work there and once the time is right, just move. Such employers never change and a lot of times, they recruit fellow staff drunken in stupid loyalty even when the truth is glaring to support them. If you cannot deal with this mountain, climb and conquer it, you may not be ready for a higher calling in your profession.

    4. In this economy, resignation is not an option for most people. Poster hang in there and keep looking for another job or an alternative source of income. Resign at once when you find it

  2. If it's threatening your peace like you are portraying, it's best you resign

    1. My boss is the exact opposite of yours poster, she can give good advice, overlooks alot of our mistakes inthe office, forgives & forgets easily BUT she stingy die.

      Come to her with any issue, she go advice even pray for you after that una go dey look each other like feem until you develop sense and leave her office.

      I guess we can't have it all.
      Ndo.

    4. Sandra, besides your salary, your boss owes you NADA. Stop being entitled to someone else's money or material help.

      Delete
    5. Your boss owes you NOTHING except your salary and respect for the value you bring.

      NOTHING ELSE.

      This wretched entitled mentality is the reason I despise Nigerians, especially those on the lower rungs. Hungry crabs always ass kissing and feeling entitled to other people's moneym

  3. Resign....Pretty simple!

    I have had to deal with a verbally abusive manager and trust me to so give it back to him in his own coin...

    He asked me to stay away without categorically sacking me and i did without hesitation

    I can't come and be worshipping plus begging some ungrateful being cos of some salary that isn't worth the stress joor

  4. Poster excuse me? What are you typing up there? What has you liking him got do with doing your job and receiving insults from him? You are abusing drugs because of one human being? Have you made a formal complaint to your HR or Head of dept and what did they say?

    Stop making human beings so powerful over your life that you have to resort to self-destruct? Please resign immediately and protect your mental health..Don't tolerate toxic people or environment..You have a career, brand to build, don't toss it away...

    That was how a lady I know personally took her own life in one of the popular banks this year because her boss and colleagues frustrated her..I miss her everyday...

    I am also a survivor of workplace toxic environment.I suffered for 2 years..I resigned from the job and God showed up for me in a way where it seems to be no way...I took a risk and resigned without a backup job in 2019 - now I am not saying you should do same but please PLAN YOUR EXIT right now.. Do you know the silly girl tried chatting me up this year, I just ignored her completely- WETIN CONCERN BABYLON WITH JERUSALEM....Where I am now, my career is advancing by the grace of God because I did not allow a human being to mess up my career..

    This is end of the year a lot of people are resigning to move to other jobs towards the new year..Wipe your tears and START NOW...Dust your CV and cover letter and start applying NOW! Be violent and take charge of your life...All the best and Ehugs...

    1. It seems like it's one man business.. Not a company that has structure..

      She might also lack the certificate to get a better job.. If she got the job through recommendation and personal favor, she will find it difficult resigning.

      But poster, you need to take the WHEEL and go for some hustle that will give you peace.

      Delete
    2. From her story you can tell it is a one man business without a good structure like the HR being able to function well.

      Delete
    3. It's probably a one man business, and I think she's scared she wouldn't get a job quickly if she resigns,and she probably thinking...how would she take care of her child🤔

    4. @Phoenix I'm also a fellow survivor of
      an extremely toxic work place with demonic colleagues that play office politics like ludo.

      Ran for my dear life because my dignity and self respect is worth everything to me and I don't know how to do praise singing, sychophancy and office politics.

      @Ennie, which HR?? Lolll,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nigerian HR that are just lap dogs for their management?
      I've never met a Nigerian HR that has sense, that knows what he or she is doing, that can stand up and advice Management when wrong policies are being introduced.
      Never.
      All of them are still doing timid boy-boy for their ogas. LMAO.

      Poster, plan your exit. You can never be happy much less grow in that place.
      Look out for online jobs, nanny jobs (some pay very well with feeding), you can set up a cleaning company, advertise on facebook etc.

      You'll be fine, don't worry. Ignore that buffoon completely. Been there, done that and triumphed.

      Those kind of employers who feel they always have to shout and curse at their subordinates have gross inferiority complexes as well as severe mental issues.

  5. I walked out of a place like that two years ago. Before leaving I'll beg and beg, I was losing my self esteem. He would give me working suspension without pay. I'll work and he will not pay telling me that I'm on suspension. He called bipolar and primitive. Omo I mad! When I left, he didn't see it coming. I walked out and never looked back. I thought I would never get another job but na good jobs dey rush me now. My dear sister or brother in the lord. Please leave! Before you become someone you are not. If it is job, trust me you will get another one by God's Grace. The one with peace of mind. God's blessings doesn't come with any form of sorrow.
    God bless you.

    1. “Working Suspension”? I think all employees need to review the labor law as well as general labor best practice. Understand your rights and obligations as an employee. Working suspension is ILLEGAL by the way. Suspension is also no longer best practice. Now you have to warn formally and then terminate based on your company policies. Maybe I’ll email Stella about a weekly column on this. Because both employers and even employees be taking the piss these days.

    2. Anonymous 15:46 You are very correct..I second the motion...I will be glad to support that weekly column...Haa the suffering is too much...

    3. That's how my former place of work turned me into angry bird. I have quit but my life is not the same again, I am so aggressive over little things.

      Delete
    4. 16:11 Not just you. And they can gossip and backbite and actively rubbish a person's reputation behind their back. Always looking for ways to instigate and then gas lighting. Now making it look like you're the one with a problem.

      I was once put on suspension. After suffering for the company and building the company from the ground up.

      Meanwhile,if I tell you what I was suspended for you will laugh and ask if they just wanted to get rid of me.

      I made sure I served the suspension very well o, as a very dutiful someborri, then dropped my resignation letter immediately after.
      I never set foot in that place again from the moment I went on suspension.

      What UTTER RUBBISH.

      Seems employers with a history of treating people like trash, think everyone will swallow said trash.

      Not me. It can never be me.

      Got 3 job offers and took the very best working with a great company now.

      As for those human beings that decided to suspend me to prove whatever point:

      THANK YOU!!!

      You only propelled me to a far greater place, offering me value and an awesome environment that even you, in your greatest dreams, can never experience much less give.

  8. You are "abusing drugs" because of your boss?
    And he is "supportive financially" for what?
    What are you giving him and why are you still there?
    No man is worth the worship you are giving this man and the earlier you get out of there, the better for your
    sanity/health and eternal life.
    Only Jesus should be worshipped.

  9. Stella you see that your red ink, it's not easy doing that, especially in this present economy and being a single parent.

    I had similar experience (way worse than this sef... long story) in my previous place of work, a top IT firm. I was depressed for years and dreaded going to work.
    No one knew what I was going through till paranoia and agitationbset in.
    I had to resign after that (about 2 months ago) though the company refused my resignation but I told them I was done.

    Poster, please intensify your job search at this period and I pray you get something better soonest. But if you can't cope anymore do leave immediately cos ones mental health should be priority.

  10. Poster pls start submitting your CV in other organizations, start telling people that you need a job, you really need to leave that job ASAP for your sanity

  19. What has liking him got to do with the facts . " But as a single parent, i cant afford to resign " so why exactly the rants . The choices are very clear, it is either you resign and keep hope alive for a better job or you bear the abuses. Words are just words until we start reading meanings to them. The fact somebody says you are stupid doesn't mean you are. It's always baffling when people allow the words of others erode their happiness and affect them emotionally. Some of us were taught by our parents not to read negative meanings into words , allow the spoken/written words of others determine our state of minds, we were taught to always be in control of our thought process and live by our our own definitions. Those who live by their definitions always have reasons to be happy and joyful. Surrendering yourself, your emotions to the actions and words of others is the greatest human weakness

  20. Hmmm, that boss frustrated me when he was transferred to be the boss in our branch simply because i am Igbo, more educated and pregnant. I just got awarded as best staff of the year shortly before he came to our branch and he threatened to spoil my name at the headoffice for no just reason. He would call official meeting in his office with other members of staff without me even in my presence then asked someone to tell me what was said in the meeting. Shouted and embarrassed me before senior and junior colleagues while i was 5months pregnant, i cried so much that my husband kept emphasizing on my bp then. I was admitted to the hospital and this man went to the head office to complain that i wasnt capable of doing the job. I missed antenatal appointments because he wouldnot stand in for me. He announced my delivery date to every one and fought hard for my transfer but the bosses werent having it. They insisted i remained in the branch that they knew my capabilities. My baby was born early because he stopped kicking at 37 weeks and my gynecologist couldnot take the risk, me that ttced. When i informed him of my delivery,
    he just said and i quote, "madam you're strong". The boss threatened that either i leave or he leaves, guess what? He left the branch. What did i do? Prayers. I reported the man to God and God fought for me. So far you are innocent my dear forget, God would fight for you. Report him.

    2. Yea but yours is different from poster. Seems poster is in a one man business type of job. It’s best she leaves or continue praying that God will change him. Or better still she should use the mid night prayers for a new job, more pay, a new start and a peaceful job environment. God is properly letting her know this is a warning sign.

  22. @poster, you better leave. I'm a survivor of a toxic work place and to make matters worse, the workplace is a SCHOOL!
    Parents, children, staff, visitors will hear the terrible words and see you crying like a baby.

    If you leave and unfortunately for you she finds out your new workplace, she'll go there and spoil your name.
    She'll tell you if you leave, you won't get a better place. I sent CV tire.

    I left during the COVID-19 lockdown, with an almost empty bank account and only God as my backup plan.

    Interestingly, that period, someone on SDK called and asked for my account details!☺️😋

    I got another job! It gives me peace.

    Now she's calling old staff back. Told them I don't go back to my vomit 🤮🤢

    Please leave the job. You no go starve. Na God create you, HE will not shame you!

Your mental sanity come first and never ever allow a man or woman affect you this much ever again! And confront that son of a devil before leaving if you get strength. If not, jejely leave.

  33. I am a survivor of toxic bosses, I had one that I worked with for one year during which I almost ran mad, I eventually found out that the root of my problems was spiritual (long story) but I promised myself that nobody on this earth will ever intimidate me like that again, affliction arose a second time with one lady boss, to make it worse, I was surrounded by colleagues plotting and planning my downfall on the job physically and spiritually, I resigned and was unemployed for a while, went through hell but came out stronger, in a better job now and made progress in life.


    Poster, resign and take a mental break, then start any hustle you can manage while searching for a new job. God be with you dear.
