If you've ever worked in the UK, you know that nothing comes easy. Employers here want you to earn every dime - literally. To be honest, this isn't necessarily a terrible thing. It contributes to this society's structure and fairness. Back home, we commonly associate seniority or effort with reward, but here, only performance is important. Whether you're sweeping floors or leading a team, you're compensated for outcomes.

The first thing to remember is that employers in the United Kingdom prioritise professionalism over personality. They are more concerned with your dependability than with your level of enthusiasm. You cannot get by with excuses or emotional arguments. That's why people think you deserve every penny. Because every dime is based on performance, punctuality, and precision. If you maintain that perspective, you will begin to perceive your job as a training ground for excellence rather than a form of servitude.

However, you must also be aware of your legal rights. The same system that expects your best also safeguards you. Employers are required by law to provide equitable wages, safe working conditions, and rest periods. Out of fear or ignorance, many Nigerians tolerate unjust treatment, such as underpaid overtime, denied holidays, or verbal abuse. You do not have to. Learn your rights. The UK values fairness. You'll walk confidently once you grasp your contract, payslip, and entitlements.

It is equally important to approach your task with integrity. Some immigrants cut corners, believing that no one will notice—taking sick days when they are not ill, clocking in late but changing the time, or concealing mistakes. However, the system here maintains records. It eventually catches up. People that follow through on their promises, arrive on time, and add value, grow quickly. When your employer regards you as dependable, opportunities arise. Promotions, improved references, and even business prospects can stem from your work ethic.

Most jobs in the United Kingdom are well costed and planned, therefore, weak links in the chain could cost the company havoc and loss.
