Just saw some interesting comments from Married female staff of Globacom who are still working in Glo on this Nairaland thread ; rumors circulating claims Glo sacked 90 Female staff for being married but these set of women have come out to refute this news. According to them, people were sacked for not being effective. It was a restructuring that also got many married women promoted as well. They are sympathetic towards their affected colleagues and are also concerned about this false news while sharing stories of how the telco they have served for many years has been good to them.

Fynestboi:
Interesting so it has been rumors.

shakaragirl:
Love the statement by that “Lolu39” , I saw that thread today , it’s really sad to hear women being sacked but I heard from my neighbor that it wasn’t just women and I also heard many people were promoted too. So I don’t know why people are attacking Glo. Make una leave Glo alone biko. #JustSaying

KushyKush:
lol...nawa oh.

These guys were paid terminal fees and it was because they weren't working. Anywhere you are you need to be productive if you don't want to be sacked!

No sane person will keep wasting money on people who aren't productive

Nutase:
How true is this?? We need victims to come forward then we can know the next step to take.

FarahAideed:
Nobody can sack you because you are married , is Mike Adenuga not married himself ...You were all relieved of you duty because you no longer have what it's takes to move the company to the next level but have instead all constituted yourselves to be be small bottle necks and principalities to the progress of the company ..I have had quite a few business dealings with Glo and these days we don't even bother taking our innovations or services to them because of the very poor attitude of principalities such as these women who don't grow in life again but instead use their small office desk to be creating unnecessary bottle neck to good solution which always end up with MTN ... Mike please you can sack them again sef just to be sure ..

I have always encouraged people to wait for the authentication of any news before promoting rumors. Glo is not the only network company in Nigeria. Believe it or not, some machineries can be paid to black list their names.
I have a sister working in glo, she is married and she was not sacked. I called to confirm this when I read the news on frontpage

BalleyB:


I like this comment. Victims should declare themselves so people can fight for them because I doubt the credibility of that news


This makes a whole bunch of sense

Catheriny:

Victims? If you read through the previous thread nobody declared anything. out of the almost 10,000 people that viewed the thread, nobody was sacked and could come out to say anything if truly it was injustice?

chriskosherbal:
Yes I will totally agree that the telecommunication industry is a competitive market and for every competitive market firms operating in such industry can go to any length to downplay one another ...is the rule of the game ...


But am a man who don't easily discard rumours easily ..just as every smoke has a source so also is rumour ...as it is popularly Said behind every rumour there is an element of truth ..


I think this should be properly investigated....I have been in this world for some time now and I swear anything can happen especially in this sub-Sahara country Nigeria.

I rest my case.

BalleyB:
The were sacked due to bad work ethics. Glo will not sack those adding value to it's company

Flewble:
This is simply a bad attempt to whip up sentiment using the "married women card"..

It is bad that you lost your job(and i honestly feel your pain) but it is inexcusably wrong to play the " women are victims" card.

Everything that has a beginning will end one day, including the jobs we are enjoying or enduring!

You were not sacked because you are a married women! It does add up. Employees do loose thier jobs especially in the private sector.

Melly345:
My opinion here differs from the writer here. I work with Globacom and I'm married with a Child. I am still in employment and placed in a more senior role. We all knew of the recent corporate restructuring exercise although it took us all by surprise. The loss of employment at this time is very painful and I feel the pain and frustration of my colleagues whose employment have been terminated. I'm aware of so many male and single female colleagues whose employment were also terminated as a result of this restructuring exercise. Though I'm not privy to the criteria that informed the terminations and new staff placements, I believe there was a structure to it which was definitely not targeted at married women. Rather, my informed guess would be 'efficiency'. Could the writer be more fact based?

Hankonx:

lol, a married woman working in glo made this statement on the other thread

Ghydyon:
Althought they sacked some people but not all the married women o, Nigerians can exaggerate
