Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

Sam's Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigerian brethren through active engagement on the blockchain. Beyond that, it is also centered towards the wellbeing of everyone who takes part in our weekend discussions and helps keep our discord running with their presence.
Note that this account was created to make the engagement more personal and official. You can check out the INTRODUCTION POST to learn more about our purpose and vision.
Please, do not forget to follow this account so you don’t miss out on future hangout posts and updates.
Our previous topic was ”NIGERIA: HOPE OR DESPAIR?"

The responses were super amazing and we had over 15+ comments filled with honest opinions, jokes, harmless banter, and fresh perspectives to learn from. The energy was truly contagious. Now, let’s see if we can beat our all-time high again this weekend, shall we? Please try to encourage responses by replying to one another. Remember, engagement is what makes this hangout special.


A topic will be dropped every Friday on this account. Do well to share your thoughts, respond to someone else’s opinion, and feel free to interrogate or add more context on it respectfully. If you don’t have anything new to add, simply reply to another comment in agreement. We encourage you to tag your friends to join the discussion so we can have a fuller house.
All interactions should happen in the comment section, because that’s where the real gist goes down.

This week's hangout starts immediately this post goes live and ends on Sunday by 11:59 pm.

Thanks to our Main sponsors

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "Toxic Work Or Unemployment”.
For many people, having a job is a necessity rather than a choice. Yet, not every workplace provides a healthy environment for staff, and this could be worse in developing countries. Many employees endure toxic work cultures, poor leadership, burnout, harassment, or constant stress because being unemployed leaves them with limited opportunities and uncertainty about building a financially secure future. These reasons become the foundation of the conversations surrounding unemployment and well-being.
Here's the question!
If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.
Okay Let's Gist!!!

Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.
On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.
On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.
Don't forget to join us!!

There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.
With all that said, let the discussion begin...

Personally, i value my peace of mind. I can endure physical stress but not mental stress.
I remember working in a place were my boss was sp toxic. Leaving for work in the morning, i will be thinking of how the day will go. At a point i couldn't take it any longer, i had to resign for the sake of my sanity.
So if it doesn't work for you and if it affect your sanity then quit.
I love how you've spoken your truth on this topic. I stand with you too, because toxicity can go much deeper than we can imagine to the point of totally affecting our mental health.
But then, different strokes for different folks.
personally, I would just stay for a while in such job , especially if I have pressing bills to pay rather than begging people for money. However, the smart move I will take is to to start looking for another job immediately i start the toxic job because my mental health needs to be guided jealousy no matter how much I need the money
Money is important, no , it can never make me overlook my mental and emotional wellbeing.
if a workplace starts affecting my health, peace, self-worth, or even my relationships, then,it's time to prioritize my health and find a an alternative .
Happy weekend my people 🥳

Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today in this post is some of the evidence to prove my case
If you didn't know I've been getting downvoted for a long time on Hive
They have been trying to bully me with downvotes and words but it doesn't affect me I've been online for over 25 years
So I've dealt with people like this before it's nothing new
But what they are doing is bad Very badi joined steemit like everyone else thinking it offers freedom but I must say steemit offered much more freedom than Hive does
Everyone already knows I only post my own original content I have no need to steal anything from anyone
I've been labelled a lot of things on Hive 😂 by the biggest farmers scammers and downvoters
Actions speak louder than any words do especially when them words are coming from a compolsive liars
I will keep updating this post when I get time

Good morning, Fams ❤️
How y'all doing 😌
Well, since I'm here, it's just best to do justice to the topic ASAP.
I.
If I'm to choose, well I would definitely chose to stay for a while. And I have my reasons, the reason is not because I feel the job is worth losing myself or my peace over, the reason is because life will always come beckoning and reality won't stop hitting you. I've got rent to pay, I've got to feed, there are family responsibilities, there are personal problems to sort too. And none of this will disappear all because you stopped working or working becomes unbearable.
And like I said earlier, I would only stay for a while, while I use that period to plan, save and quietly look for another job.
The only thing that could possibly make me quit immediately is if it began to affect my health. I don't joke with it,when it starts coming at the expense of my health or I get abused... Then it's a go for me.
II.
I feel that is true. You never know what a person is carrying, what they are battling with and how heavy the weight on them is. I mean, there's more to everyone, you only see/know what they want you to see/know. You won't always know about the responsibility they are carrying, so talking them out of a toxic job may sound easy to you. And finding another job is not always easy, it is not even easy.
So, before leaving or quitting such a job, the individual should do well to consider their financial situation, how toxic the situation around the job is, how it is affecting their mental and physical health and how realistic another job opportunity is
If it is still manageable, then continue for a while as you plan yourself. But if it is affecting and destroying you already, then back out to protect you.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

yesoo..it's a smart decision to stay fir a while and pick race in such toxic job😀
u won't trade ur life with money even though we know there are bills to pay
na who dey alive dey hustle for bills.
lol
Yes o grandmama 🤣😂🤣
Honestly, it's crucial to dissect both ends of this conversation. In reality, many people are unable to afford their basic needs, so quitting a toxic job might be the worst decision to make, especially when they have no one assisting them. To others, it may sound ridiculous, but to them, continuity in that job is valid as they've got no other choice.
It's also a tricky situation for me because I've got bills to pay, and need some extra to assist my friends and loved ones with. But I won't lie, I value my mental health more than anything. As someone who understands how deep workplace toxicity runs, I won't remain in any job that forces me to act out of character every single day.
I know it will be tough without a job but I have the mindset that things will always work out, and I'll get another opportunity, even though it might be less rewarding.
Hopefully, many others will become privileged enough to leave toxic jobs in the future because it's the absolute ghetto and I wish it on no one!
