Indians Are Enslaving Us In Our Own Country. All They Want Is Cheap Labour by jubel(f): 3:12pm On Apr 03, 2013
NCC HAS SLEPT AND IS PROBABLY SNORING!!! So many curses on this generation and the ones to come. At the time of Zain, it was fruitful and rewarding. Every employee prayed enerstly for them. When these cursed Indians came and bought it over, they started ENSLAVING US IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. All they want is cheap labour and are not ready to pay. They can't evn recruit more agents because they can't pay. Most especially their call centre formerly in ABUJA but now in IBADAN, former KINGSWAY BUILDING OPPOSITE RADIO NIGERIA IBADAN which is run by SPANCO CHANNEL BPO FOR AIRTEL NIGERIA are enslaving GRADUATES especially THOSE WITH BSC, MSC, MBA, OND, HND, SSCE are all treated equally.

The MAXIMUM SALARY IS 46000 NAIRA MONTHLY with LITTLE OR NO BENEFITS AT ALL. MTN employs basically BSC and HND for their call centre. THey give allowance of FREE STAFF LINE AND 6000 NAIRA credit monthly. AIRTEL DOES NOT GIVE THIS AT ALL TO THIER CALL CNTRE AGENTS. They treat them as slaves, pigs and people that does not matter at all in the society. MTN demands 6HOURS from each agents while AIRTEL DEMANDS 9HOURS from each agents yet they are the lowest paid in the telecommunications world. ALso,when an agent is sick even on the sick bed,they require you to come to work, while in MTN all you need is call the TEAMLEADER and he or she would note you called in sick. ETISALAT, GLO, MTN all give allowances to their agents and don't treaat them as trash because they are the core people in the industry. They communicate with customers and also give accurate information about the company's products and services, solve problem for customers. Shouldn't they be treated rightly and fair enough? The lowest salary u can get as an agent in MTN is 70000 while in airtel, its 35000. Why? Why? Why?

The number of hours of work is too much, makes the job more stressful and demanding. The supervisors are harsh, give attitude, feel ontop of the world as if they didn't start from somewhere. The Allowance for training would be given to new agents when airtel feels like. It might not evn be paid at all. MORNING SHIFT FOR AIRTEL IS 7am-4pm sometimes 5pm. Is this called morning shift? While MTN is 7am-1pm. MAD INDIANS. DOING ALL THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE COUNTRY. YOUR GENERATIONS ARE CURSED ALREADY IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE. NCC!!!KEEP THE BAD WORK UP.

You forgot to include the 200 call target per shift (yes per shift including night shift, and they expect the agent to attend to the customer for an average of 2min per call), afternoon shif 11 am to 8pm, and other yeye clauses they included.
Re: Indians Are Enslaving Us In Our Own Country. All They Want Is Cheap Labour by jubel(f): 3:41pm On Apr 03, 2013
Yes!!!Incases of irate customers,they expect u to talk to that customer for 2mins and if u don't give accurate info,u would be marked down.11 to 8pm while Mtn's afternoon shift is 1:30pm to 6:30.Just 6hours.In airtel,even after making your 8hours,they still expect u to stay logged on going to 9hours over 35000 Naira monthly.No free staff line,no benefits whatsoever.Even the so called medicals they are offering is nonsense.When you get there,the hospital would tell you to go.A bsc graduate receiving 35000 along with ssce individuals.

It will have gotten better if only we had good incorruptible leaders in this country who actually place a high value on their citizens. It is very simple to get these Indians to stop misbehaving. The Chinese are doing the same thing too. Plus they flood the country with Chinese workers doing jobs Nigerians are capable of doing. 90% of them have no work visa, there are here on 3 months business visa, which is meant for business meetings, not working. Most can't speak bloody English. *sighs* This country sef!!!

With spanco it can only get worse!! When we protested sometime in oct 2011, so many goofs here on nairaland were defending dr actions & calling dem notable investors who wants to provide jobs to our teeming youths. And today we're now reaping the investment in larger proportions as it now affects us directly or indirectly. We nevr expected anything better to come out of Spanco because they've alwys showed that they wr not interstd in staff welfare other than meeting ur log on duration and d unrealistic average handling time. But of course we gav dem what dey want by kalo-kalo methods... & u cud guess the outcome; quality service declined. But honstly they were not bothered abt quality but rathr on the number of calls u picked because that's what airtel pays them for; which xplains why dey'll do anytin to make sure u're picking calls evn while on d sickbed.

The supervisors & team leaders wr nice & lovly as agents, but i believ what cud hav generated ds new trait in dem will definitly b d pressure they're receiving frm d indians. Honstly am realy touchd wit what u guyz are goin tru cos we had access to all the basic things u mentioned here not because dey wr benevolent but because it was inherited frm Zain & they cudnt throw it out jus like dat without facing comfrontatn frm us. Env d 9hrs log on duration now is evn higher dan what was obtained earlier & yet d salary is not compared to what we earned.

That was d reason dey decided to pay us off, relocate to ibadan wr they can access cheap labour because dey felt dey wr payin too much in abuja, & start up with new crop of agents who dey felt they can manipulate witout resistance. But we alwys knew that it was not goin to last 4evr because one day d agents will realise dr worth, & how badly slaved they've been caged by ds merciless paymasters & probablly tk necessary steps to correct it.... Pls dnt wait 4ur team leaders & managers because dey have little or nothin to do abt it. Dey wr employed by d indians jus like u, & will do evrytin to protect their jobs. Get affiliated to a union body that can champion ur course properly wit all support & logistics frm d NLC. And wit God on ur side, u sure can create a change.

There're many things you guys in Nigeria don't understand and I'm not surprised. If you understood them Nigeria will not be in the shit it is in. If you no like a job, don't apply shikena. Keep on marrying and having more children you hear. God will come and give you car, house etc. LOL

Welcome to the world of airtel, where everything they do is about profit and only profit...I would not want to agree with some points you made with regard to MTN, because some of them are not true, talking from experience, you only get those full benefits if you a employed by the parent company which is MTN, and with 80% of there call center contracted out, its no more like that. Only 20% of MTN staff enjoys majority of the benefits stated above. But even at that the call center been contracted out bt MTN still enjoys far far better than airtel...I guess its high time you guys involve NLC and other relevant unions to fight your course...

Blame our government. Is a white/caucasian skin equal to expertise? Things that these foreigners can't do in their own countries, they get away with it here and will even be bragging that they will get you arrested with YOUR own army and police. It happened in my presence!!

You can't even work in their countries??

Can you blame them not to bring down their entire families when our people will welcome them with siren and police escorts, accomodation in posh areas along with unbelievable salaries/contract sums?

Please ask yourself, HOW MANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES WILL GIVE A NIGERIAN COMPANY CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND CONTRACTS TO DO IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY??

THEN WHY DO WE DO IT??

If u are wrkin dere is better u remain dere and keep prayin 2 ur God 2 give u a better job. Involvin Nlc or whatever union may get d whole of u sacked and u wil be left wit nothin dan 2 start searchin all ova again. Dis was what happened 2 us in mtn jos call center. We were bin paid 35k so we involved Nlc and form a union 2 fight our course. This got us all sacked abt 1700 of us and d call center shut til date. Next month wil make it a year and most of us are stil searchin. In fact i wish d struggle neva started in d first place. So think before u abt cos Nlc nor d govt may not be able 2 come ur aid as ppl thing. Just a little advice

Looollll. For the reason that Nigerians don't want to hear the truth that will set them, they will forever remain backward until they agree to swallow the bitter pill. In China, India where these people come from it is the same. People are paid peanuts too. If you specialise in producing and producing human beings when there's no economy for them to fit in, they become like you: a confused person insisting he deserves more than he's worth

This Nigeria matter dey pain me no be small. That's why I'm anonymous here to have a good laugh. The disaster that you deserve because of your "mumu"ness hasn't come full circle sef. Wait for the oil which you don't know how it got there or how it becomes petrol to finish. You go see ween. You will have chance to fast and pray forever for God to come and save you from the problem you caused for yourself. Ok I must say our parents and previous generations caused but we endorsed and continued with same. It has started to show with the Boko ppl. They have born born so tay taya because God told them to do so. 12 year old girl gets married and in her lifetime she has 10 children. Now hungry want to kill them and they come out to shout. Take the advice "ifyrex" gave if you're wise. You've been deceived for too long that you're worth more in this country than you're actually worth. If you read basic Econs, you'll know that if there's too much supply for anything demanded, the value (price, anything) will drop. Keep abusing me. You'll never see the light. You know where I've been and what I've seen in my life? I LAUGH!!!
