Aro007: I am also in the same situation. I am seriously thinking of quitting my bank job but am really scared of the uncertainty. First of all am seriously distracted at work, I have the most annoying boss and the job have seize to be a source of motivation too me even considering the fact that this is my 4th year on the same position.
Although in my own case, I have an IT/power consulting firm. Currently, I have about 5 different banks as my client and it has not been easy for me a reason am very distracted at work. Every effort to hire people that could drive the company to a higher level proved abortive as they often fail to deliver on there responsibilities as soon as they know I am not fully around with the business. There was a time I had abt 4 graduate working for me, but this did not work for me as I spend precious time separating fight between them than actually making progress.
Please I need an advice as am not happy with my condition and I still find it very hard taking that decision

You must have a very fine voice and face.

When we were on training and mingled with some call centre ladies, we understood the difference between " Girl and Babe ".

Tinyemeka:
Wonder how you'd feel if those 4 grads working for you, also ran their individual companies where they'd also commit their time and resources to manage.
Do you work on a part-time basis at the bank?

okparaugo:

Guy, don't drag me to that your contract something.

Marketers are core staff and any marketer who is a contract staff is known as a marketing assistant...

The areas where you find enough contract staff in banks are the cash and tellering units, office admin, IT specialist and security.

Don't emphasize what you don't know for sure..

So your bank manager was a contract staff ?

No wonder, you were sacked from "Igboanugo" community bank...

See as you leave topic come dey ask me useless questions..

Blockus:


Ugo, How can you say you worked in a Bank for 5 years without leave?!

That in itself is a violation of Nigerian Labour laws and I know the Banks try as much as they can to comply and leave periods are built into every contract staff's contract. I know this cos I consult and draft outsourcing agreements for companies.

GboyegaD:

Did he tell you he is a contract staff and how did you get to your conclusion? It depends on your boss sometimes. I worked 30months at a point before I got a leave and it was because I changed unit.

slydog:

Trust me bro, in the same shoes with u, just 2yrs on the job with no leave, and same routine, I feel like quitting toooo

Blockus:

No be quarrel..

I find it hard to believe that Banks dont give leave breaks to their 'full staff'. Especially as it is a National Requirement according to 'Labour Laws'.

If you have proof that your Bank delibrately and willfully denied you a leave break within 12 Calender month (and you didnt forfiet it of your own volition), then you can sue them for big moeny.

voltron:

Try doing that to a Bank that Starts with A and ends with S many of their staff work during leave days.. say no to it and you will be immediately replaced with a harder-working desperately unemployed graduate. you should try getting inside information from peeps who work at some banks in nigeria

Yungwizzzy: I don't believe your story dear

brainiac007:

Why not? Honestly, most of us who work in a bank want out. I hate it but right now I do not have an alternative but to remain and sulk.

I have an Aunt who is a top manager in Keystone Bank.

I asked her one time if this thing we hear about Bank workers and their hard labour is true and she said NO!!

She said the group withinn the Banks that can complain about hard and long days are those in the investment banking sector who deal in stocks and bonds. She says they work that long because they trade on different markets around the world with different opening and closing times. But that the Bank Tellers and co dont put in as much work. That if it takes you so long to close out your work, its prolly because you left your work to pile up for whatever reasons.


So I wonder what work a teller on leave would be called back to do,.
