Tochi, a former housemate of the Big Brother Naija reality show, recently took to his Instagram stories to raise concerns about the treatment of employees by some Nigerian employers. He highlighted that some employers tend to hire people for a specific role but end up making them do other tasks while underpaying them.
Tochi expressed his disappointment that in Nigeria, employers would employ a chef but also turn him into a driver, cleaner, gateman, nanny, and more, while paying a meager sum of 17,500 naira. This candid post by Tochi sparked an online debate, with many Nigerians sharing their experiences of being underpaid and overworked by their employers.
The reality is that this poor treatment of employees is not uncommon in Nigeria. Many employers exploit their workers by making them work long hours for low pay and assigning them tasks that are beyond their job description. Some netizens who reacted to Tochi's post expressed their disappointment with the poor treatment of employees in the country.
It is important for employers to understand that their employees are their most valuable asset and should be treated with respect and fairness. They should be given fair compensation, working hours, and job descriptions. A fair and just work environment will not only motivate employees but will also help to increase productivity and overall success in the workplace.
To conclude, Tochi's post has highlighted a critical issue that needs to be addressed by employers in Nigeria. The exploitation of employees must stop, and workers must be treated with respect and dignity. By doing so, we can create a better work environment for all and increase the overall success of our businesses.
