Following the mass reports of retrenched workers all over the media space, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to recount what they did after they were sacked.
This promises to be an interesting thread.
The day I got a sack letter. I went to a pharmacy to check my blood pressure. The pharmacist told me to immediately go to a hospital. https://t.co/FFSlEUvhQM

I didn't even get a sack letter on my first job. The Chinese man was wearing a frown on his face while pointing his finger at me the he said ... "You Fired". ????

If you love your sanity, avoid bank jobs. I'm speaking from the side of experience.

I’m paying you salary and you’re not putting focus, o da pe o ti ya were????
When I started working in the bank I would wake up by 12.00a.m with the pressure of how to meet targets and worrying about office meetings and MPR's. It weighed heavily on me for too long. The day I made up my mind to resign I felt a great weight lifted off my shoulders.

If my MD sacks me today, I will laugh and walk away. I'm better off working for myself than working for someone who will not appreciate your efforts. Thank God this lock down really showed me that I'm doing better than my company.
