awakmfon03:
I'm not against any type of prayer or worship.
But my question WILL YOUR JUST, IMPARTIAL, ALL KNOWING and ALMIGHTY GOD be happy with your worship if you cheat your brother, organization and it's clients in other to worship him? If you leave your duty post without permission sort for and obtained, then you are indirectly cheating on your organization and colleagues and by extension the clients whose hard earned money is used to pay you salaries, And I don't see any God that will accept such a worship. What will happen if everyone else leaves,
Solution:
For this kind of event to be avoided there should be laid down rules guiding the operations in the organization such as on Friday Muslim can work from morning till maybe 12pm the non Muslim take over in order to avoid leaving gaps or all work close by 2pm on Fridays to allow people go to prayer and not creating a situation where others work more and some work less but receive the same pay

This makes sense in a small medium enterprise. But guys, we talking Polaris bank!!!

The truth is that, as said by the Bank, it must be the supervisor's religious intolerance coming to the fore. How can she even conceive that idea? Are you saying everybody in that department are Muslims so much so that she can not reassign other people for the period those guys will be away? in a corporate organization, you don't prevent people from practicing what they believe in. In fact, if you manage it well, it will bring more business for you.

Best the supervisor could have done is to appeal to them to plan their break for that period so it can be a win win situation.

Since u have been pro Islamic, what have you achieved?

When employers stop accepting Muslim graduates tomorrow, they will be the first to cry. Na una cry pass, by the grace of God, once I set my business up, I want no religious f*cker near it that will disrupt my business with useless, fake prayers. I don't care your religion, keep your damn religion at home before coming to work.

Why not try your shitty JAIZ bank instead

The only solution to all these religious madness from religious people both Christians and Muslims is for Employers to start paying per hour.

You're paid for the hours you worked and then your god should take care of your stomach and needs for the remaining hours you used in praying to him/it.

IamAsiri:


Some bank staff go to work in Saturdays and Sundays, based on rotational basis.

Never heard of that before

Why some, why not always


Can you show me an instance of where it happened

LAXconfidential:


Na question I ask, the least you could do was ignore it if you don't want to answer

On a public forum, I also asked a question

Cutehector:
bro..all these big english wey you dey speak, no go matter. HR Was supposed to do a simple job by balancing Christians and muslims ratio in that branch.

I should be firing the HR partner covering that branch and not the muslims..

A competent HR or any credible organization would not hire their staff base on religion sentiments, rather, on your potentials and capabilities of adding value to the organization.

Your religion and your job are two vertical lines that must not intercept each other at any point in time.

plantist:


See this idiotic hypocrite. You all dubiously cooked up Saturdays and Sundays as weekends for yourselves in order to dance like you have had bouts of epilepsy for decades. Bunch of hypocrites

Bastard, the Nigerian system made it that way. I'm not attached to any religion shit, everyday is same day as well.

This is one of the dumbest sentence I read today.
Why are Muslims feeling entitled?
I think bank henceforth will place restrictment in employing Muslims

Don't play with us, how? Can you do this in a western country?

KunGioKehRah:


I am not typing with my anus
I am a Muslim and an ex bank staff, I had to resign due to bad treatment meted out to me by my christian boss.
So here, I am typing from experience

Christians believe that the Nigerian banking industry is their birth right, it's recently that Muslims too are dominating the industry. But that's another topic for another day

To the topic
Nigeria bankers, I mean top bank owners know that it's the way customers are treated that determine their longevity in the industry, good customer service is proportional to good banking business.

Don't get it twisted, THAT APOLOGY DONE BY POLARIS ISNT ENOUGH,

THEY WILL BE FEELING IT BILLIONS OF NAIRA LOSS IN THEIR GL(GENERAL LEDGER)

Whatever you do, don't play with us Muslims and our prayer, social media( Zuckerberg doesn't play with us), even here on Nairaland Seun doesn't play with us and many other ramifications of life.
Polaris needs to rejig it's staff imminently!

Relax, don’t sh!t on yourself! It’s not a one man business, everybody has to be accommodated if you want your business to prosper. Like the bank has come out to say, the supervisor (just like you) is probably an Islamphobic bigot who didn’t understand employment laws and the implications of her action on the business. It’s sorted now and I’m sure she now understands that those staff she harassed should actually be praised for being at work on their day of worship, unlike the Christians who get the day off on their own day if worship. So… stop throwing tantrums over the issue!

yes, they should hire based on competencies. But post those staff in a balanced mixture so that business doesnt suffer.

RussellRutherfo:


Every right thinking person should be anti-islamic. It is an evil satanic ideology set up by a 7th century Arab murderous madman illiterate schizophrenic genocidicist blasphemous caravan imposter pedophile called Muhammad who screwed little girl 9year old Aisha.

Watch Christian Prince debates and get liberated out of this satanic religion.

Okay why not take them to court or what am I suppose to do with this

tollyboy5:

Trash!

From government work to private work all over the world Muslims are allowed to attend jumat.

It's Polaris bank case that is now different, what nonsense!

Your response is quite sentimental!

The question is: Was it stated in their application letter that, religion would be mixed with their official duties when they are begging to apply for the job?

We need to face reality and stop behaving like we do not know the difference between obligations and rights.


Lastly, I have no problems with religion, but, hypocrisy is what we must all condemn in all sincerity.

Vertical line between your religion and your job? No, not for us Muslims… everything runs on the same vertical line! Muslim prayer times hv exact times of performing them and they stretched across the 24hr period of everyday, so how can you draw a line if you hv to pray at 1pm or 4pm which both fall inside of working hours?

ClassicMan202:
Religion of p!ss indeed...

They will come to your house and try to force you to do their bidding...

Working days no dey for employee booklet?? Abi dem no see am before them sign employment letter?

We still dey talk about hijab wey dem want force enter schools.

Institution get rules and regulations, you go see am finish, still chuck head, then you go letter start to scream marginalization.




I laugh in Arabic.... Try am na

Haha when its time for prayer Muslims must pray 5 times at workplace try and stop let see, if them born you well.

oloyedewaris:

Then the bank should work on Sundays to show professionalism

Our christian friends working in UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and other Muslim countries goes to work on Sundays without and rest on Fridays without blackmailing their employers based on their religion sentiments.

We just have to come to the understanding that, your JOB is a CONTRACT between YOU and your EMPLOYER.... it is otherwise known as MASTER/ SERVANT AGREEMENT.

While your RELIGION is between you and your MAKER.

Mixing the two is evil and will definitely be counterproductive.

There's time for everything, if it doesn't fit your religious time, then quit the job

Mightymanna:
“O you who believe! When you are called to congregational (Friday) prayer, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off trade. That is better for you, if you but knew.”


Muslims should start advocating for work free day on Friday, it is really unfair to be cheated by British colonial arrangements while idolaters get free day to dance and party

Muhammed is a pedo. Islam is a curse to mankind

LAXconfidential:


Pray tell, is there anything stopping Muslims from adopting Sundays as a day of prayer too? Just curious.

This just shows Christians are the most hypocritical.
So u can chose your own worship day but another can't choose

I live above hate and I hate no one. You don't have to try to tag me and resorts to name calling to pass your message across. It is sheer hypocrisy to hide under the veil of religion and not do the job you want to earn from.
