Full story.
My friend was job hunting for almost 6 months, he finally got a remote job at a Nigerian company.
I'm sharing first-hand experience because this is my best friend.
He was employed on ‘probation’ as the social media team lead for an agreed compensation of 75 thousand naira to be increased to 110k after two months.
This employment term alone was crazy but like I said he's been job hunting for a while so he took it.
My friend didn't want any of this, and in his usual calm way he told me to let it go.
But no, I can't.
If there's anything I hate in my life it's oppression, and this won't fly.
People like Femi need to be kicked off their high horse.
Barely one month in, the complaints started coming in.
They employed him as a social media team lead but turned him into graphic designer, video editor, content planner, all on a 75k ‘probation’ salary.

The resignation letter was sent to your Email address and your Whatsapp number.
There's no need to go back and forth.
Also you sent his payment at 3pm today, if there wasn't a tweet out you wouldn't have.
It became clear that the job/founder was messing with his overall wellbeing.
There was no alignment between what the founder wanted and what he was producing, so we decided it was best to leave.
I encouraged him to manage while we searched for something better but it got worse.
He started getting more frustrated and burnt out because despite his efforts, nothing was good enough for the founder.
After putting in the resignation, and requesting for his payment, The founder got on a call with him and said ‘I could have been wicked and told you to fuck off, but I'll be civil’ Onigbese.
Founder then requested for 2 weeks to sort his payment.
Some content he produced were approved and posted on the official account, but most of it was thrown out.
He was getting insults, warnings, being scolded like a child on a daily basis. He became scared to even open the team discord/founders' text messages.
The two weeks elapsed and he kept reaching out daily for his remuneration.
This is was the response that has triggered this outpour from me.
‘words like please and thank you’ for money he worked for!
My friend didn't want any of this, and in his usual calm way he told me to let it go.
But no, I can't.
If there's anything I hate in my life it's oppression, and this won't fly.

Extremely accurate, what’s crazy is that they later used half of the ideas they initially threw out.
It now feels like they just wanted to milk his creativity and not pay.
I can prove this because they keep hiring for the same role every few months.
I was talking to this guy then he asks how many siblings I have, I tell him 8 then he goes ‘Omo that’s a lot of people for me to take care of’ so bold of the werey to think my whole family is sitting around waiting for who will marry me and change their life.

I don’t even understand it, this guy was literally warning him with his native dialect on a team meeting.
So uncouth and unprofessional.

After sending his resignation on the 4th, he waited two weeks as requested before reaching out to you again.
That's ample time to sort his payment, hardship dey, na why you sef no suppose owe.

We already know how passionate the .bit community is about partnerships and integrations.
So, Good news!
More of that is coming our way in Africa!

My top 2 portfolio websites for Writers are:
• Journo portfolio - I built my website with this and ughhh I can't get tired of viewing it, the user interface is so clean and you can organise your articles seamlessly.
I'm so happy I can finally do things I was praying for a helper for.
I literally sent my business proposal to almost everyone I knew for funding
Now I'm funding it myself, no debt.
I applied for a job yesterday, one of the requirements was for applicants to send a 1 minute video stating why they were the best for the job, and to send the video on whatsapp, (very weird) but okay I did that.
I work for a foreign company, as at 23rd of December my boss already told me to ‘enjoy my holidays’ and she didn't reply any email I sent till the 5th of January.
This guy was sending content to him to design on Christmas day!
No break whatsoever! And he still complained!

NFT
Whilst trading NFTs one can’t always be safe, even professionals in the space occasionally take losses as taking losses is a component of trading Cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
Some losses stem from normal market fluctuations while some emanate from clear cases of scams.
A 🧵
A few are -
.bit alias:
In Dapps, the .bit account is displayed as a username instead of the user’s blockchain address which the user uses to log in.
This greatly enhances user experience.
(Example: .bit on We Piggy, a DeFi product)
How SubDiDs work:
The .bit subDID feature aims to redefine the concept of community from taking it from being just a number of people with similar interest in a group to a number of IDENTIFIABLE people with similar interest in a group.
.bit is a web3 naming service that aims to give users a decentralized identity, and the features of .bit can be utilized by individuals, projects, wallets, communities, creators, and dapps.
Due to it’s good reputation, .bit has received wide support from more than 100 mainstream wallets and Dapps including Torus wallet, Trust wallet, and we piggy to mention a few.
Most projects do this because of several reasons, it could be that the focus for them is on the money-making aspect and not the utility aspect, or it could just be that they are clueless about what to do to remain relevant.
The Bear season is a writer’s season in my opinion, this is when writers should thrive because energy should be channeled toward educating/enlightening the community, and prospective investors.
.bit has a strong ecosystem of over 125 members, consisting of registrars, market places, data providers, applications, and partners each reveling in the utility that .bit offers.
Being a .bit partner goes beyond enjoying its features, .bit also offers co-marketing support such as airdrops activity, and joint AMA’s for its partners.
Crazy part is that I’m sure this guys entire networth can’t feed my family for a month.
Blocked btw
And I actually get this all the time, why do men think this way?
You don’t know anything about me but you’ve assumed my family will need your help cause it’s a large family?
Dumb
Reduced complexity of wallet addresses:
Users can Search addresses by entering a .bit account to view the underlying address, and Users can also enter the recipient’s .bit account when making a transfer.
