Re: NNPC Retires 1000 Staff by Miranda11: 8:34am On Aug 17, 2015 |
If the 1000 are incompetent and have no value to add, then they shld go because there are a lot of incompetent hands in NNPC. A lot of the staff were recruited on a man know man basis which is not bad if they are competent to do the job and can add value to NNPC, but unfortunately this has not been the case so what's the need keeping some1 that has no value to add that's just a waste of moneyed . That money can be used to employ pple who are more competent and have value to add in order to help NNPC become a more profitable and efficient corporation. This cleansing should apply to the entire agencies and parastatals under the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the federal civil service. To deserve a job with the Govt you must be competent to perform, gone are the days when incompetent pple are employed on a man know man basis. Change is truly here indeed. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Miranda11: Very funny! Provide proof please, that the entire 1,000 people were incompetent. This is one problem with Nigeria. You guys will shout blue murder if the affected people are your kinsmen, but as long as they remain faceless... you really do not care. There is something called professional experience, institutional memory etc. All these will be lost in a single day, because some clowns sat down and decided to lay off 1,000 people in one fell swoop instead of taking time out to conduct a thorough investigation, then gradually phase out those who are not pulling their weight, within the system. A well-structured handover and succession process would then be instituted, as these people gradually wind down, and leave the system. Was that done in this case?? Kindly let us know. And where are the more competent people that are to be employed? Is it from the pool of unemployed graduates on our shores, that do not even know how to write a single business case or memo?? A man takes over as GMD of NNPC and in just one week decides that the first thing to do, is sack 1,000 people. It is not as if any process was automated, that made these people redundant. It is not that a new process or structure was instituted, that did not require the presence of so many people. It is not as if any major departmental function was outsourced. So what was the criteria used in laying off this huge number of staff? What is the total number of staff employed by NNPC that would justify laying off 1,000 people? And do they even have enough money to pay off their terminal benefits in a timely manner?? 36 Likes 7 Shares |
Re: NNPC Retires 1000 Staff by Miranda11: 8:51am On Aug 17, 2015 |
laudate: I don't need to provide proof, the GMD has said it that performance reviews will be used where it is possible to retrain staff for them to be more efficient then such staff will be kept, but where there is no value in doing so they will be let go. This is the criteria that is being used. If u know anybody that works in NNPC and who can be honest with you about the reality of the situation then you won't say this. I know pple who work in NNPC and they complain bitterly about the incompetence of the staff there who were employed simply on a man know man basis, they come to work do not add value and get the intelligent junior staff to do all the work. How can NNPC continue to survive like this and unfortunately this is the case throughout the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. 38 Likes 1 Share |

Miranda11: Another funny assertion... the GMD said..?? What criteria, exactly? You and your GMD should provide evidence that performance reviews were used in determining who was sent packing, and who was retained. What proof do you have that those people who were laid off, did not add any value to NNPC? Provide proof of the so-called criteria please, so that your words can have true meaning. You know 'people who said...??" That is the problem with Nigeria. People who always claim to know people, instead of relying on hard evidence and verifiable facts. Later, they will turn round to claim that things don't work. How will it work when most folks prefer to rely on hearsay and 'people who know people'? 8 Likes |

Miranda11: Madam, don't just post corporate double-speak online. Provide proof, that the criteria was used in sending those 1,000 people packing. Is that so hard to do?? You are jumping to GMD's defence without knowing the true story of the matter... simply because in your own words, 'people said' or you know 'people who said' ..... na wah, oh!.

mars123: No, you are the one that is thinking like 'a small man'. And it is that mediocrity that oozes from your words. So, because a man attends Harvard, you feel it gives him the right to toy with the fortunes of an entire corporation, and destroy the lives and careers of 1,000 people in one fell swoop? Even in America where Harvard is located, such things cannot be done in just 1 week, or you would be hit with multiple law suits from every corner! Like I explained in my very first post in this thread, there is a process and procedure for carrying out such things in a structured manner. You do not just get into a seat or position of power, and the first thing you do is to lay off people in under 1 week. Is he an undertaker sent to supervise the demise of NNPC? 11 Likes |

smokes: Why?? Was I the one that sent the 1,000 people packing? Or was I the one that was defending the GMD blindly claiming that performance reviews were used to determine the fate of the sacked people? Or was I the one claiming that the 1,000 people added no value to NNPC? Or why do you think the staff unions (i.e. NUPENG and PENGASSAN) are taking the GMD to task, and threatening to down tools over the matter?? 4 Likes |
