Resigning from my 9-5 job part 2
So after a while I decided to ask for a raise because the work was obviously too much for only me but I didn't mind as long as I earn enough to take care of myself and my family. I wrote a letter because there was no way I could tell him one on one, after I gave him the letter, he insisted that I must read the letter, after reading the letter I received the insult of my life. He said I was taking liberty and that I'm well paid, that even bankers that are graduate are being paid #40,000. I cried and I carried my bag that I was done, I had no one to talk to except my pastor then, Col. CJ Aniemeka, I called him and he asked me to stay till closing that we will talk about it. And thinking of the expenses I had ahead of me ( the feeding and school fees of my siblings and mom) I had to advise myself, so I stayed.
After a while my salary was then increased to #40,000. I could remember one time my boss asked me not to eat while he is eating, that I should wait until he was done before I could eat. Mind you there was no lunch break and I'm always busy, so I saw that as an opportunity to eat my own food otherwise I will not be able to eat because as soon as he is done he already has an errand for me. Unfortunately for me, he caught me eating one of these days the same time he was eating and he said if he ever caught me eating the same time with him again, he would spit on my food. Oh boy I cried again that day but I couldn't leave because I knew what was waiting for me at home.
Is it the numerous s*x harassment I was receiving from friends of the office? But I stayed because this job was my life. Then in 2012 I got admission for my HND program. My hard work and commitment finally paid off because I was giving Fridays off for my studies. Then another staff was employed as an office assistant because of the Fridays I won't be around. In school God positioned people to pay my school fees, I remember one of the time I couldn't pay my school fees, I had to meet one of my MD 's friend (uncle Tunde) for #25,000 so I can complete my school fees and he came through for me.
