A Nigerian lady has shared how her UK employer fired her from her job after she repeatedly said sorry to him for an offense.
The sacked lady, @deeglam_varieties, explained what transpired and recommended Nigerians traveling overseas to maintain their attitude of saying sorry at home.
In a TikTok video, @deeglam_varieties said that she worked a night shift and spent her time in the office lounge pressing her phone to avoid falling asleep.
The following day, her employer accused her of sleeping on the job, which surprised her. Instead of telling her supervisor the truth, @deeglam_varieties repeatedly apologized and went home.
That same day, she received an email alerting her that she had been fired. The development was a cultural shock for her.
This revelation has caused many to react to the piece of news.
