12 months. 0 work. Full salary.
This company is redefining employee care.
Yes, you can earn real gold when you make transfers on Altbank. See for yourself
Hello Buddy,
Imagine your boss telling you, “Oya, take 365 days off, we will still keep paying you.”
That’s exactly what happened to one employee in China.
This guy got a whole year of paid leave, not for sabbatical, not for study leave, just to focus on health and well-being.
Of course, people are talking.
Some say it’s unrealistic for business. Others are like, “Abeg, where do I apply?”
Now pause and picture it yourself: 12 months of rest and salary still dropping.
What would you do with all that time?
(Think about it for 5 seconds)
…
Okay, back to reality.
Your boss no send you like that 😂
And your company? They’re not giving anybody 365 days off (sorry lol)
But here’s something that is within your reach 👇

CONFESSIONS OF A NIGERIAN 9-TO-5ER
“They Gave Me 3 Roles. I Only Interviewed for One”
I was hired as a Product Marketing Associate.
That was the title on the job description, the offer letter, and the welcome email.
First week on the job, my manager said:
“By the way, can you also help with social media? Our comms person just left.”
I said yes. I mean, it’s just posting, right?
Second week, someone from HR pinged me:
“Can you quickly draft something for the CEO’s investor update?”
Apparently, I was now Head of Communications too.
By the third week, I was also running point on sales enablement, building pitch decks, writing customer email sequences, coaching sales reps on how to use them.
When I hesitated, someone said:
“You’re so versatile! We love that about you.”
Versatile?
