An employer publicly criticizes an employee, accusing them of entitlement after the worker failed to acknowledge a double salary increment for several months but complained when the salary returned to the normal rate.

According to the employer, during the 2023 fuel subsidy removal when fuel prices surged from N200/ltr to N700, he doubled the worker’s salary. However, the employee remained silent until the salary reverted to N100,000 after four months.

In a Facebook post, the employer stated, “I have an employee whose monthly salary was N100,000. When the fuel pump price increased to N630 per liter, I quietly increased all my employee’s salaries and this particular guy’s salary was increased to N200,000.

He received this 200k for months without saying anything. Last month I decided to revert back to his old salary to know what he would do. Today he mustered the courage to send me the message below, feeling entitled to what’s not his own. Now his job hangs in the balance.”

In the shared chat, the employer questions the sudden salary reduction, putting the employee's job at risk.
