Ah, based on my experience as a jib seeker, job changer, and job switcher in Lagos i would say if they say things like ;
"for serious people only" run o na stress go kill you, or if they ask;
"hope you are ready to work" my brother run o na work go kill you for there.
If they ask "Can you be able to work with us for long term" hahaha people have been quitting that job like the way you change cloth a lot of people have resigned from that job and if you take it u will not last a month.
It's good to make enquiries and ask questions from your colleagues on the first day after resuming job so that you will have info.
A lot of people are putting up with jobs that's giving them hell because they have boxed themselves and fear of the unknown.

One man business . If you like yourself never ever I repeat never ever work for a one man business.,no matter if that one man is a billionaire run!!
Even if they promise you heaven on earth you will regret it. There is a reason such a business has not upgraded to be structured and that is what makes one man businesses bad..
Tony elumelu could have made Uba a one man business, but he didn't , same with Otedola , Adenuga , Dangote etc
No matter how you praise the IQ of a one man business the very reason it hasn't metamorphosized into a full structured business is why you should stay away from it!๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ

You are better off as a clerk In structured organization than a GM in a one man business.

There is a reason why one man businesses fail eventually.
No matter the salary run far from working for one man businesses

Thank me later ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฏ

So many companies are operating like this now, they will look for excuses to fire workers after 2-3 years

I was once employed by a company. On the first day of work, I discovered that most of the staff were putting on worn-out clothes. The manager's shoes had open mouths. Some of the workers had spent years in the organization with nothing to show for it. Only the owner of the organization was making progress financially. I didn't show up the next day and that was the end.

Companies that are always employing people all year round. If they treat their staffs well by paying them well and giving them bonus welfare packages, they'll hardly have any vacancy cos no one would ever dream of leaving. Any staff who resigns would do so cos he/she is relocating abroad.

We're talking about gainful employment here, not the 30K ASSLICKING job that you've been engaged in for the past 8 years. Defending one National disaster after another. cheesy cheesy cheesy


As for me, my biggest red flag would be if the organization ever say something about working on weekends. Na straight rejection dem go chop. cheesy cheesy
