THE BOSS AND THE LADY
So, the lady in the center of all this just got a job a month ago in Lagos. The job is a nice paying job, if N80,000 sounds good to you.
The firm is all these types that the boss only shows up once
in a while – for like a month and disappears for the next two months, then
reappears again. She didn’t meet THE BOSS until two weeks back. By the readjustment
of every single staff when the news that THE BOSS was coming broke, she knew he
was respected (feared).
The day the boss came around, she stood from her seat, greeted
the boss but he wouldn’t reply. He just strolled into his office like no one
was there. A couple of minutes later, the boss called the new staff and this is
where the story gets a bit interesting.
The boss categorically tells the lady in question that he’s a
Yoruba man and he expects his staff to greet him in a manner that conforms to
his culture and tradition. Cutting out the long grammar, he expects the lady to
kneel (knees touching the floor) in greeting any time she’ll be greeting him – No jokes. The lady simply said “Ok sir” and left his office.
She’s presently thinking of resigning from her job, as she just
can’t cope with the greeting aspect of it. Being an Igbo lady makes it all more
complicated for her and according to her, she’ll rather work for less and be
happy, than work for more and disgruntled.
Is tending her resignation letter okay? Do you think she should
just kneel and greet without putting her mind to it?
What piece of advice would you give the lady in question?

Well....its sounds kind of overboard for him to say that. If she has another job, she can resign, but if not, she can just lock up and do it. Its no Biggy anyways.������
