You are sacked as a bank worker and you are contemplating suicide, what if you lose a member of your family. The only CONSTANT thing in life is change,whether good or bad. I was one of the best marketer at Gtbank 6-8yrs back, i voluntarily left the bank because the job is unsecured due to pressure so the fact that you scored 100% does not mean you can't be sacked.I have helped my old colleagues to resign and pursue business careers afterwards. I ll give you FREE consulting service if you are ready to move on with your life...08034201291 2 Likes |

But really, why deny access? It's so annoying. Someone shows up at work in the morning smiling and hugging everyone, sits, grabs a cup of coffee and tries to log in. Next thing: "access denied" or "invalid user". Kaput! Isn't that a form of emotional abuse? By the time you try 5 times, you start shaking. @jaybee3, when is the party? 2 Likes |

I empathise. However you had a role in it. Are your academic, birth and professional certificates cooked? What did your referees say about you? As well as your alma mater and previous employers? See bros, when it comes to a very professional and regulated profession like banking, it goes beyond just your on - the - job activities. Search for the answers. You will find them. 1 Like |

Sadly and unfortunate, you are just one of the staff affacted by your bank lay off process. It has nothing to do with performance in quote but a lot to do with how significant and strategic your job function plays in the bank. If your profile in the bank system is link to hugh deposits or potential ones I guess it would have made a difference and save your job. However, times are so hard for the banking industry in Nigeria and a lot of banks will lay off staffs because of the economic blight. I understand how you feel but look at the other options and move on. it's time to use the network you gain while working to secure a new job 1 Like |

Op, its one of those things. As Long as you are not the owner of the business or company, your appointment can be terminated at any time, JUST LIKE YOU CAN RESIGN ANYTIME TOO according to your terms of engagement. Vis-à-vis: A. 1 month notice from either party, B. 1 month Basic salary in lieu of notice from both parties. -Were you paid In lieu of notice? -Did you have any prior work experience before joining the bank? -During your interview, did you promise to bring some big accounts and business which were later impossible to accomplish? -During your Interview, did you give false accounts of your experience? Or lied about your position so you can a higher one? -While working were there incidents/Incidence of caution from your supervisors or superiors? The reasons for termination is quite wide, however please note that when the bank wants to cut cost due to economic situations, they streamline and some performing staff will be deemed surplus to requirement, not because they are not good but because the bank can't mafford to keep them on their payrol. Whichever is your case, i will Advise you pick yourself up, dust yourself and move up in Life. My 50kobo! |
Re: Help Union Bank Unjustly Terminated My Appointment! by GboyegaD(m): 5:30pm On Jun 27, 2015 |
Perhaps the bank is downsizing and in most cases, there is no basis for termination in that case. However, if it is your case alone, take it up with HR to know why your appointment was terminated. |

Bros.... Don't brother wasting your precious time, there is no "JOB SECURITY" in banking industry, this is something we all know. They have been paying you armed-robbers salary for more 12 months and you never share your experience about how you are satisfy with the monetary reward, now that they sacked you are bringing the incident to our notice.

ednut1: Bro, the bolded is not peculiar to Union Bank...there is no such thing as "job security" in any bank right now. Few weeks ago, the appointment of a senior colleague who we all perceived as a "super-performer" was terminated abruptly. Apparently, no one is indispensable in a "capitalist" economy as long as wealth is being maximized. Even before now, virtually all banks disengage staff periodically. These things happen in other sectors of the economy and it is indeed, very sad. Diamond Bank usually does that around April of every year, Stanbic IBTC also used to do that every September. There was a "tsunami" there few months ago, same for Skye Bank, Mainstreet Bank, Enterprise Bank, etc. Some other banks do theirs "quietly". Many instances can be cited here. Banks are out to save costs and make as much money as possible. We can only encourage the OP and pray that God opens better opportunities for him and others that were similarly affected. For the rest of us who are still there, it should be a lesson to us all because we are not better than those who have been disengaged. Plan B has to be in place... Sudden unemployment is a terrible thing! CC: 234GT, Slydog, Rilwayne001 8 Likes 1 Share |

goke4all:He should find out if he is profitable. There are different between getting good grade as a branch manager and profitability. Bank managers are majorly being appraised based on their profitability. Branch as one entity and employee performance. In my bank,u must get in line between the two and the bigger clog in forging ahead is attitude- maybe one way or the other mystery shoppers have set u up and found u incapable of doing things their own ways. Bank is one funny place to work with.there is no clear cut of how one is reasonably being appraised. If union bank is not profitable,they may lay off their staff. Tho ur case as u stated it sounds so unbelievable. But if u get around there might be mix up somewhere. Maybe its not ur appraisal,maybe u mistaken for someone else maybe some sees u as over ambitious or something- there gat to be something bro-look deep,u did something bad I guess. 1 Like |

There's so much insanity in the banking sector. They use unknown yardstick to lay off staff. Whoever disagrees with me should find out from their friends if Bank do state good reasons for sack. What you will get is Management decides bla..... Bla..... Bla. @poster, start making efforts to get another bank job but as soon as you get it, start building your personal business. Banking job is full of insecurity. Check for Ikechukwu Opara on Facebook. He has information on Zenith recruitment if you meets the condition. Meanwhile, APC led government should look into this Bank sacking of staff as it is not creating job in line with the party campaign promises. Before now was mass sack at Skye and Mainstreet before full take over by Skye (That reminds me, who knows how a small Skye Bank was able to buy big Mainstreet bank). I don't know if Gtbank has done their annual May sacking of staff. I call on CBN Governor to check unnecessary competition and rivals in Nigerian Banks. 3 Likes |

Caracta: Some cash centres have entry level staff as the highest grade staff (others contract staff )and somehow, they become managers. I've seen that happen, but its not in their bank profile . Or The manager could be on leave and she is the next top ranking staff, she becomes the manager. If you walk up to that location and ask for the manager, though there maybe other more experienced staff that are contract staff you are refered to the most senior full staff it happens, Am not trying to make case for her here, she could be lying or saying the truth. Manager by position and not by grade. Looking at it from another angle, I don't know union bank to be so into contract staff like gtb and UBA. So, I may have to doubt along with you. This piece of advise is for every public servant, whether you work in a bank, oil coy , it firm or even civil service, you should not see your work as an end to a means. You can be fired anytime. What matters is if you have alt plan in case the end come. I learnt this from my mum. She told us 'ugo olu oyibo by na azu is ka a na eti ya.' Interpreting it literily, 'The feather (glory) of public/civil service is put at the back of the cap.' So that when it falls off, you don't get to notice it that much. From the first day you get your employment letter, know that you will leave one day, either by retirement, termination or even death. Start planning from day 1. Make sure that at every point in time, u have money that can take care of you for at least 6months. Ask yourself if I am told to leave today, what next? The issue of thinking of suicide occurs to only ppl that have not thought of this. I work in a bank, but I don't blame banks nowadays for taking some drastic decisions. Most bank branches are making losses. Income lines are shrinking. Expectation are high from stakeholders. Cost of doing business is rising. If you cannot make profit, you cut your cost and the easiest cost to cut is staff cost. I see this issue of cutting staff cost from the business sense. If I am a bank MD, will I not take such decision to stay afloat? 4 Likes |

My husband has been a banker for the past eight years and what I can say about bank job is that you take one day at a time, you don't know what might happen tomorrow. They give unachievable targets and threaten workers with termination, there's nothing to do except to pray not to get sacked and if that happens, it's still prayer for a better job. |

Hmm. I took a course in school in Labour Law and this sounds like one of our exam question. In a sane society the matter can be taken up legally after reviewing relevant documents about your employment. Unfortunately the closest I know of a sane society is the movies or the gist I've heard of life in other countries. In other words our labour laws are mostly not followed and there's usually no one to call, speak to and have the matter addressed. You don't sound like you can afford to pursue the matter legally. Perhaps someday we will have some of our top lawyers volunteer to take such cases pro bono. Or we will have our labour unions actually fight for employee rights and do more than go on strikes. Or finally have a government that cares about her citizens and the rule of law. Today with what we have or don't have I'll just say you should relax a little, spend time with those who love you and glean some strength from their love and support. And then become the most valuable person you can be whether as an employee or as an employer. I wish you all the best as we play our different parts in the drama of life.

davide470: Dude, no word o, I declared 3days fasting early this week when we hrd of what was coming. Lost 3 colleagues here too. The economy is not doing too well, a little bit compounded with Buhari inability to kick start governance. My advice to the op is to keep an open mind, don't hold anything against anyone or the bank. As one door closes another opens. Last year Dec, one of our managers was sacked but he kept an open mind believing God, today he's the finance manager in a small oil service firm with turnover of over a billion naira and we are now mkting him to do business with us.
