I read thru your ordeal with sympathy but first I want you to thank God for sparing your life. Secondly, pls move on with your life cos going to the court is like wasting a whole lot of your time which would have been used in doing something more tangible for yourself. If you take your employers to court, I bet you will be on the case when several other jobs and ideas would have come and gone in vain and you might eventually give up or loss cos of bribery and corruption. Take a better step further and you will be in the place where you will be appreciated. Remember that if you had died in that accident, you will not be thinking of going back to work or dragging your employers to court. |

hassymo5: he needs to have a valid reason for leaving the bank to another one. see, banks do not want to employ workers sacked from other banks. if this bank is not retaining him, they should open up to him and tell him, let him know if he where he stands. if u ask me of banks, u would probably get the worst of answers from me. Seek audience with the HR, but if they are not forthcoming, see a lawyer, SEBI WE DEY ASK," WETIN LAWYERS DEY DO SEF", now is d time to know. oluwdashmi: reactions like just described is the reason we are where we are as a country. so he turns away and who rights dis wrong? God? He is alive, so fight your battles. Banks are public corporations and do not want to be perceived discriminatory, so go to courts. We should learn to fight our battles, be it courts or national lives. question: well sed. get ready. |

@ poster, I don't think the situation is as bad as it appears. Here are my thoughts: 1. The bank has not communicated to you in writing that you have been dismissed. You need to get the HR manager to say something one way or another. 2. Please review your offer letter. what does it say about termination? one or two weeks notice or one month's salary in lieu of notice is usually required from either side. Check if the bank has fulfiled its own side of the bargain. 3. I hope you are conversant with the policies of the bank you worked for. Most banks have a policy on matters like yours. i.e. what happens when a staff fails to come to work due to ill health for a stipulated period of time, e.t.c. 3. You must have friends in a bank where you worked for eight months! They can always let you know where things stand with HR. Ask them to find out for you. 4. Like has been said else where on this thread, visiting twice and not meeting the HR manager is not sufficient to arrive at the conclusions some have already drawn here. Camp outside his office if you have to!! 5. I know that some banks do outsource the verification of results to third parties. If yours came back negative, that automatically places the bank on enquiry about further dealings with you. Also, you cannot be the only person who attended that university in that bank. So how come the results of the others got verified and yours did not check out? Seek out your alumni in the bank and ask them if they had issues. If the exams and records department changed location, it could not have affected only you! Finally, your case is strange because most banks I know (I have worked in four of them and have friends in many others) would even help offset some (if not all) of your bill and be more supportive. The only reason I can think of that may be responsible for your current 'limbo' status is that they are trying to verify your your result again based on the new information you provided. Until they satisfy themselves about the status of your qualification, it may not make sense to spend money on you or allow you back into the system. I would advise that you look for another job in the interim. If you're having difficulty defending your 'exit' from your former bank, then stop referencing it in your CV and move on. As for those critizing the bank, please cut it some slack. We have not heard the bank's side of the story! |

Dear friend, I work in a bank too and I understand your ordeal, My candid advise to you is for you to brush up your c.v and seek employment elsewhere, This is Nigeria and this case of yours is not worth fighting for or else you will find yourself going into financial/emotional bankruptcy, take heart and move forward,It is well with your body soul and spirit and I seriously believe better days will come for you, shalom! |

Sincerely this is rather ludicrous but you need to get up get your act together &really move on with your life. If you do manage to get back into the bank do you really think you'd like the kind of attention they would be giving to your work? you don't need this seriously it might sound difficult to accept but you really need to move on with your life. Read 'who moved my cheese'. You lost the job with them so? Is that the end of the world? Get somewhere else please, seriously it could be your wake up call. All the best. |

although this is my first time of posting into this site, i was simply moved by this story, and if true, this is my heart pouring to the person, the test is your storm, get close to God this time n He will show you things you need to know, sometimes he allows "those bizzare things to happen just to get our attention to him, if only u do the right thing at this time, it will mean your turning point for good, one clue is left, run to God with all your heart, love him in ur pain, guess what? he will wipe ur tears away!!! haven't u thot that ,it was his mercy that didn't made it worse, the enemy chose to destroy ur life but God in is infinite wisdom will use this to lift u up at this time. I know how it feels ,that is why i am using this platform to lift u up n any other person who may have gone tru or going tru this test, the eagle naturally soars high against the storm, be lifted, i say be lifted, May God favor u, may u be a living testimony to others in the same shoe! God bless u! |

My dear Biafara Boy, All you need is Fasting and Prayer if you are a Christain. If you are a Muslim, you know how best "una de pray". Summon the HR before the THRONE OF GRACE and let God intervene in your case. Wake @ mid-night and cry unto God 4 a week shunning every distractions and see what will happen. Best wish. |

Tanx everyone once again and has been out there battling things out. I finally tried the Godfatherism way and got through to the GMD of the bank who then directed the Group Head HR to re-open the case and re verify my results. The HR manager was summoned by the Group Head HR and lied that he had told me that i was sacked. Trust me, I told him ti his face that he never told me so and he had been avoiding all my calls, emails and letters. The case will soon be sorted out soon enough cos the GMD is now aware of the situation. But as God will have it, I have finally landed a job with a telecom giant and the pay package is a bumper harvest. ![]() God has been so kind and generous that once u are patient and steadfast in d Lord he will never disappoint u. I am yet to hear from the bank but i aint going back there, though will like to collect any benefits due to me. Abeg make una join me thank the Almighty God for his goodness, ![]() |
