This is just the beginning. Labour is just making noice.
It's high time Nigerian graduates started thinking outside the box. By 2025, there will be NO WHITE COLAR JOBS anyway because most organization have started embracing ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (ROBBOTARY) ad as such robbot would taking the people of human in the work force.

Na today?banks have continued this heinous crime against her worker without been stopped by anybody--labour,govt e.t.c because it is not their problem.UBA PLC did that several years ago and i am one of the victims and nothing was done till today;they even turned around to take me to national industrial court to come and pay the loan i took while working when it is obvious i was thrown out of job with no offence.This country i sa place where everybody for himself while God is for all of us.Employers do what they like with their employee and all regulatory agents,unions and government look the other way--no be today o

Sometimes I pity Service executives or contract staff in banks. Termination of contract with the parent company means mass sack.

However, I think some old non core staff who have stayed for over 5 years become demotivated and lethargic seeing several of their colleagues converted to full staff, and new GTs employed and moving the ranks. Thus, I won't blame the bank so much if they wanna let go of some of the contract staff.

Firstbank is one of the highest employers of labour in Nigeria. Only last year about 500 GTs were employed. Several other experienced and GTs hire including a conversion program for 500 service executives have taken place this year. I'm also sure the affected 1000 staff are been replaced by younger more motivated bloods. No wonder several contracting firms are recruiting tellers, CSOs and marketers. The industry is no child's play.

Finally, it's not funny out there. Being a contract staff in a bank is not the best position to be but it's better than nothing. To that end, people is such position must have a plan to leave between 2 to 5 years, fighting on all fronts: investing in personal and academic development, saving for business or emigration, seeking conversion and hunting for jobs actively. Even as an envied full time staff with several privileges, I hustled my way out and still hustling as PMB isn't my papa.

ornicus:


contract staff have zero rights and can be let go at any time
i was in my company for 14 years, entered after a colleague on contract.
promotion or not, i had an increase every year
colleagues salary was more or less flat for the 14 years

when the person was let go, i am not sure the severance came up to 3m . no gratuity, nada. contract work is a bad place. you are living on hope you will be converted, but it may not happen

i know one guy - they told him you have hnd - get degree. the guy got degree, them no gree, he got master, them no gree. it was all kinds of fked

You are right.
Even the permanent staff, nothing is permanent last last.

With time, many banks will have only contract staff in some key functional roles,especially their operations.

Na wa oo, it's well.
Do you wonder why you barely ever get any replies to your applications?

Here are three things you need to atleast get invited for job interviews:

1. An ATS complaint CV
2. A winning Cover Letter with the right keywords.
3. An Optimized LinkedIn account.
PM me for any or all of the above.
