Having worked in three different companies bank-dredging-Oil Servicing coy, I finally resigned from my last company where I was the Logistics Manager after i refused their offer to move to business development department in their quest to cut my pay cos I was the highest paid among all the employed office staff. My assistant who was the owners informant took over from me,but was sacked two months cos he doesn't know the job.

I own a company now that is diversified due to my experiences,I am now helping government to salvage unemployment and soon I ll employ my former assistant.

I wouldn't say i quit. All the same sha I'm in a new place. Experience and responsibility wise it's a job progression, but financially it's a big demotion. But i've always been lucky and focused when pushed to the wall and so isha allah i see my self outta here tops Q1 2014.

Last month exactly I ran away from Banking system to Secondary school as a teacher because of a Job security.

As you are aware Sunusi's policy is always not favourable to the Bankers.

naturalwaves: Having stayed jobless for almost a year after service, I eventually picked up a meantime job in one of the old generation banks as a Teller on a contract basis. I never liked the job because;
1)It wasn't the kind of job I wanted, I studied computer science.
2)It never gave me time to do anything, not even the time to spend the salary.lol. The most painful experience I had was during the last Nations cup. I missed almost all the matches cos most were played during work hours and they didn't switch to the match playing channel.
3) I was being overused....I take cash lodgements, pay cash, confirm cheques through calls, update customers info at weekends and so on.
4)The old generation bank lacks organisation and the whole work load falls on you at the end of the day. If you can't balance the accounts, that's another problem.
5)The work environment was so hostile and I was never appreciated even though I did my job perfectly. Infact, there was a day my Boss who was a Vault Teller said that the problem I have is that I always try to be too perfect instead of complimenting me for a job well done cos I aleays use a maximum of 20 minutes to balance the accounts for the day after closing to customers.
6) The job was a risky one as the appointment could be terminated at any time.
7)Anytime I want to write an Aptitude test for another job, it is usually a tug of war. If my exam is in two days time, I will pretend like I am sick and won't come to work on the day of the test. Sometimes, I rely on sick leave to do that.

God so good, I got another job with the Lagos state government as an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) instructor in one of the secondary schools and I am enjoying the job so much.
I have enough time to myself, time to do personal studies, time to do Masters and IT certifications, time to develop and to cap it all, the job is a PERMANENT job so, if I want to switch, I will know that I still have a job no matter what.
My dream is to be a lecturer someday, infact, a Professor and my new job is very close to making that a reality. A teaching platform before lecturing is a good one, teaching is so much fun!

Which bank is dat pls? I'm asking to knw if I'm bout to be in da same ish and hw I'm going to cope wif the associated challenges. 10x

Yaasir: This is the 2nd time I would change job this year; Access to StanbicIBTC to Cadbury. The first move was quite easy cos the pay was more and the grade. The present one was much more complicated. The pay is far less but I just love Cadbury. Unfortunately, Stanbic increased my salary by 50% immediately I tendered my resignation. The day I signed my offer letter with Cadbury I got another offer from Ecobank which is twice Cadbury's. All the same, I am now with Cadbury but being approached by another telecoms presently.
Lucky ya! I am sure you must have a wonderful CV with loads of work experience and certifications.
Play your game well and enjoy yourself mate.
Good luck Jonathan mate!

Am believing God for change in job by Jan 2014. I left my previous job blc of change in location for this one and have been here for 2yrs. It has not been easy at alll,the management policy of victimization,mass penalty,late salary payment,suspicion,employees not part of operational decison making etc. I lost it when i watch a co-worker punished on heresay. I know God will do it.

frodobee: Dont kid yourself. The earlier you quit that baboon work, monkey chop work and work for yourself the better.
Let me tell those of you who are bankers; if you put in the time and dedication you put in your banking job into selling recharge cards, in five years you will be the reference point in recharge card and allied business.

I like your comment, but I also have a reservation; Not everyone can or should go into business. We only talk of entrepreneurship not because its the best 'for us' BUT because we lack abundance of gainful employment.

If you can't stand heartbreak(s), business is not for you. . .

i quit zenith bank for UBA and stayed there for only 1 year.then moved to a to a FMCG for lesser pay but for more responsibility,carrier growth and job security. Its all about knowing what you want and doing that which makes you happy and better. I advice that you consider everything before quiting your current job.

Quit my job for Masters. It is quite boring doing tasks dat anyone can do.

When I try doin more technical tasks, de wil say I should wait first and do those little tasks. My brain was bkoming dull and dull.

D pay was someaw low but main reason
I left was bkos d job wasnt challenging.

But staying at home now is quite frustrating due to ASUU strike. I didnt regret my decision at all as i got a scholarship for my programme.

It is fun as I have learnt a lot and developed my skills

After resigning, pleas came and offers were flying but experience minds in d industry warned that I should move on cos the offers are conditionally attached to my getting a new offer.

Now earning so much with nice Benefit in Kind packages.

The bank has three vowels in it . The only consonant in it appears twice. The funny thing was that, when I wanted to leave, they started begging and begging. The Head of Banking Operations HBO said he will give me the chance to do masters( that was what I told them). For security reasons, I left the same day I tendered a resignation letter cos if I had told them earlier, they might set me up with a funny transaction. Moreover, they don't even deserve an earlier notice cos if they want to terminate a contract based appointmentm they do so by text. After close of work one day, some peeps were texted when they got home not to bother coming on Monday for no reasons. Let me just say I avenged for those ones. Lolz

I will try not to be hard on you. Okay sir, teaching is different from lecturing. A teacher basically operates in secondary schools or primary schools while a lecturer is always in the higher institutions (universities, polytechnics etc). Lecturing is more specified as you can easily chose an arear of expertise(we have arears like Networking, Robotics,Neural networks, Artificial Intelligence, Security etc in computer science) and carry out further researches on that area. Moreover, a lecturer deals with more mature minds that either have a bit of the background knowledge or are capable of reading and carrying out some further researches of the subject matter while a Teacher basically starts from the scratch and spoon feeds the students. I hope I have answered your question?
