A young Nigerian man who applied for a cleaner position at Old English Bakery and Superstores, Ikeja GRA, has narrated how he was offered N25K (about $60) monthly salary for 15 hours of work daily.
The young man who did not reveal his name said he is expected to resume by 6:30 am and close by 10 pm every day.
He shared his story on a popular Nigerian forum. Read below:
I saw this cleaner job vacancy at Old English bakery at GRA, Ikeja, Lagos after months of job hunting. Due to the unavailability of one’s preferred kind of job, I like hotel jobs a lot, I decided to submit my CV to one of the bakery security men. It is hard to get a hotel job at GRA Ikeja despite the big and many hotels located there though. Man know man things.
I was called to come for an interview at their head office in Omole phase 1. I attended the interview. But the salary is manageable being that I am a single man without even a girlfriend. Early 30’s. But the resumption time was shocking. I would resume by 6.30 am and closes by 10 pm for #25k! Which kind of cleaning work be that?
And the bakery is own by a Nigerian. No break or free lunch. My mind told me there were other tasks I would be doing apart from cleaning because no cleaner would work till that time. So has anyone who has worked there before knows the job description in Old English Bakery?
This is total lies, I have been working in Old English superstores since July 2018, As a security personnel, And I have never for once regret being part of old English superstores. Concerning the cleaning department, They only have full day 7am – 8am Twice in a week, The rest are shifts, 7 – 2, 2 – 8. I’m very sure that this Man didn’t do his findings very well. No cleaner closes by 10.
