So, you just got a new job 鈥 or you鈥檙e considering accepting one 鈥 and you鈥檙e happy to finally get something to cushion the effects of poverty. Don鈥檛 get too excited. You need to watch out for these signs.
The office is at Ikeja
Ikeja is like the epicentre of Lagos hustle and scam activities. Remember Computer village and those fake job interview invites? Do we need to explain further?
HR is too motivational
“We鈥檙e all one big family here鈥 or 鈥淲e鈥檙e all rockstars鈥. Run for your life.
They have a banging social media page
You鈥檇 be trying to complete your one million deliverables when Oga sends a memo that every staff member should report to the conference room to do TikTok video. What if I don鈥檛 want to dance?
The office has a recreation area
They have a gaming area, and you aren鈥檛 scared? They鈥檙e indirectly telling you they鈥檒l give you headaches that’ll make you avoid reality.
Office is at Lagos Island
They use fine office and aesthetics to cover up for the fact that they鈥檙e about to suck your blood.
You have too many Gen Z co-workers
Your biggest headache with them may be deciphering all the slang they use every day. Who sent you work?
Your co-workers are old people
These ones are just typical Nigerian parents raised to power infinity.
You don鈥檛 have a clear job description
If they say they want someone who can 鈥渉it the ground running鈥 and 鈥渕ake things happen,鈥 they want to stress you.
Your coworkers are too happy
It鈥檚 giving 鈥渟mile through the pain鈥. Don鈥檛 fall for it.
They鈥檙e sad
This one is self-explanatory. Carry your mental health and run away.
