ABOUT TO QUIT
Hello SDK. Thanks for all you do.
I will go straight to the point, as I need your advice and that of SDkers. I’m a lady in my late 20s.
After my NYSC (2023), I’ve been doing remote jobs and also working occasionally as a shopper for homes. I was an admin, and my salary was 200k.
After my NYSC (2023), I’ve been doing remote jobs and also working occasionally as a shopper for homes. I was an admin, and my salary was 200k.
I worked from home mostly and had time to do my PGD, hoping to proceed to my master’s.
I just got a job and pay is half a million monthly.
I just got a job and pay is half a million monthly.
I was so elated when I got it; the prestige of telling people I work in the organization felt amazing.
However… The job involves a lot of physical lifting and mental effort, a rigid 8–5 schedule. Since I started the job two months ago, I’ve been falling sick and feeling depressed. I don’t know what to do.
Let me add that there’s no time to do my master’s or anything else (they are very strict with attendance). I’m anaemic and require loads of rest that I don’t seem to get. I’m courting the idea of resigning.
I dread going to work these days. I’ve spent a lot on medicines and supplements. What do I do?

What to do???? Weigh your options very well...See if you can get another Job on the job and if it is non negotiable, then plese resign and return to the old Job.
Your health is non negotiable as well and if this Job is taking from you then you need to let it go...MONEY NO BE EVERYTHING!
Dont die trying to make it or get rich, cos its others that will share your money and stuff once you Kpai.
If you’re anemic you will have to leave that job. Perhaps you could approach HR first to see if they will place you in a less strenuous division of the org. If there is no possibility of a relocation you must walk away for your health. The world is full of money, there is as much money in the world as there are grains of sand on the beach. Don’t die for anything that’s so common.

ReplyDeletePlease don’t ignore your health. A good job should not constantly leave you sick, exhausted and depressed. Since you’re anaemic and already struggling after just two months, your body may be telling you this environment is not suitable for you.
No job is worth sacrificing your health and peace of mind for. If you can go back to your former job please do.
Pls how do people get remote jobs eeeh! I want one. Poster leave the job before it takes your health away from you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your situation. But I'm interested in the job please. Help me! Stella please post.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure?!
DeleteIt’s very demanding.
What’s your location and qualifications?
HEALTH is WELATH. Na who dey alife dey enjoy money wey in work for. Considering your health, I'll advise you resign and continue with your remote job, so that you'll have the time to further your education as you so desire.
ReplyDeleteyou better leave that half a million naria job and continue with your old job, your health is more important than anything.
ReplyDeleteHealth is wealth my dear, it might be a sign telling you to leave the job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can exchange o. I am an admin in my organization and the office is a walkable distance to where I live but the salary is so poor 140k monthly. The job isnt stressful at all because I have all the time to rest and take a nap while at work but I want more to be able to meet extended needs though this can comfortably meet my personal needs as my rent is just 250k yearly and I am not a foodie. I want to be able to meet needs of other family members also.
ReplyDeleteWhatever amount that will cost you your peace of mind or your health on the long run;is not worth having..
ReplyDeleteYour health as explained above requires you getting a job which will require you using more of your brain to get a task done;than your physical strength.jobs that require you sitting on a desk like Tech jobs,remote jobs etc.
Do your remote job and keep upgrading your skills to earn more,there are people who that 500k manpower job is meant for;and they would happily do it everyday;doesn't mean you are better than them or that they are better than you;its just division of labour...and as my people say "ekere órù eke".
Wishing you all the best.

Your health should come first. A job that leaves you constantly sick, depressed, and exhausted after just two months is a serious concern, especially with anaemia. The salary and prestige are nice, but no job is worth damaging your health or stopping your long-term goals. Don’t resign impulsively, but start looking for roles that better fit your health and career path. If possible, see a doctor and assess whether the workload is medically safe for you. Sometimes peace of mind, good health, and growth matter more than a big salary.
ReplyDeletePlease in God's name "RESIGN" and pls come back to testify about a better job here and Biko send 10,%
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your health dear.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how tasking that is but I seriously wish I can walk in your shoes to understand better.
Poster can I replace you?
Can ladies do the Job?
I am based in the East.
You need to find the underlying cause of your anemia too and treat it if possible. Money is good as long as it doesn't take your life . All the best dear
