However, he said the daily commute quickly became a major challenge. According to him, he underestimated the travel time between his home and the office in Lagos, resulting in repeated lateness despite leaving home early and trying different means of transportation.

He also cited traffic congestion, unfamiliar routes and poor weather as factors that affected his ability to report to work on time. The cost of using faster transport options, he added, placed additional financial pressure on him.

The man said he proposed a hybrid work arrangement, arguing that he could perform effectively while reducing the burden of commuting. Management declined the request and informed him that his attendance would determine whether he remained in the role.
