Crazy people... They don't want or pray for the growth of their employees. If you get new stuffs, like clothes, shoes or even an ordinary phone, they will be surprised �� like this guys pay seems much ooo!

Then they would device means to frustrate you either by sending you on errands that's not in anyway related to your job or to look for other means to ensure that they over use you and if you re too smart and refuse such wicked tricks and plans, then you start having issues with them. Awon mad people.

Only in Nigeria is the economy stagnant on weekends. Because they believe weekends is for the heavenly race while the economy suffers.

Or work in d marketing dept of these new generation banks...where an idiot called Branch Head or Zonal Head, who graduated with a third class or 2.1 from one lousy school, will look at u and call u a laggard because u couldn't beg and meet one crazy target. Meanwhile the bank has not promoted u for over 7 years..... A place where ladies with low morals and empty brain trade their bodies to meet target and are hailed as performers, but u who is intelligent and has good result is called an embecile.

Sadly, your post shows a total lack of depth. marketing is all about setting and meeting targets.
Your results will determine your positioning and nothing else. Not third class and not your appearance.

The name of the game in banking (at least in Nigeria) is 'deposits' which in turn determines the size their portfolio.
If you are employed as a bank marketer you can either bring results or bring excuses and run the risk of being described as a laggard which would indeed be considerate of superior officer.

Just so you know, there are many pretty girls in bank marketing problems who are very willing and yet cannot close deals that will catalyze their promotion.

Finally, intelligence is just potential. The real deal is in your ability to transform your 'intelligence' into something tangible and worthwhile.
Imbecility then becomes your portion when this is not attained and you are then subject to the whims of your line manager. I would also like to add that no organisation treats a 'performer' shabbily for he is like a candle set on the mount......... .

I thank GOD for my little computer school

As a banker don't you think that you eat from the "useless" people trying to withdraw on weekends as they incur extra charges? Were you not paid to work?

This kind of control doesn't start in the workplace in Nigeria. It starts from School.
Generally In schools or classes in western countries, when classes are over or students hear the bell, they pack their bags and begin to leave straight away while the teacher is still talking or rounding up. In Nigeria, you dare not get up or leave while a teacher is still talking.

I don't think the "useless" people meant customers. It would be a colleague/Superior (bank staff) that would be calling you during the weekend. They should hire people on standby at weekends for such and pay them whether or not they are called to top up ATM

You are capable of giving this issue a more serious and objective consideration. The bank should hire a different set of people to carry out ATM Cash management. Think now bros, think!

I think we are saying similar things. We both agree that the bank needs to hire people to do ATM cash management at weekends. If ATM cash management is part of his daily job during the week, then that is okay, but he should not be called up by a colleague at weekend to come and top up ATM.

Someone misinterpreted his word "useless" to mean that he was calling customers useless. I only tried to clarify that he was calling the superiors or colleagues who phone him at weekends "useless" and not customers.

Some foreign bosses are into the act too.Do your research very well.I have worked for foreign bosses and worked on saturdays for 7 years. Though it depends on which types of foreigners you are talking about.Some foreigners are in Nigeria just to exploit you and pay you peanuts.Especially indians,lebanese,Turkish,etc.
those foreigners you mentioned,I can never work under them...they are not the true "white" ...the most responsible "whites " are from the west namely: Britons, Frenchmen, Americans( USA) ,Canadians, Irishmen etc

Business is more suitable to run in developed countries.

But here in Nigeria, so many oppositions have to be conquered to stay afloat.

Meanwhile, employees that work overtime and on Weekends should be allotted additional allowance.

I sincerly hate the situation.
BUT

BUT
In a situation whereby foreign goods are swamping the market daily and nigerians with money buy into imported goods services or solutions with reckless abandon; what is left for your Nigerian boss but to turn his workers into slaves, overworking them in a bid to remain relevant in his feild?
-
The 2 solutions to this problem:
1. Govt stop importation
2. You, yourself, go self employed.
-
Multinationals already know that they are OYIBOS and we blacks are psychologically their slaves. So they can operate their business without much pressure from competition. They know You will ALWAYS CHOOSE their product and service. Hence they can work less and give their workers free weekend.

A Nigerian man on Twitter identified as Wole Odeyele is of the opinion that foreign bosses treat their employees better than Nigerian bosses.

Read his reasons;
[i]"In my entire career, All foreign bosses respect weekends and after work hours.

In my experience, its only Nigerian bosses and HR that would try to price your wages down like slave drivers.

Foreign HR and Bosses are more concerned with paying you a fair wage to ensure you are well motivated

In my experience, foreign employers are less concerned with the appearance of work and more concerned with the content of work, so they allow flexibility in work hours and locations.

Nigerian employers stick with the traditional 8-5, and demand physical presence.

In my experience, foreign bosses aren't concerned about titles and ranks and try to create structures that are flat where everyone can collaborate with anyone.

The only hurdle they've scaled is that they are white skinned. And we Nigerians (especially) have an UNRESTRAINED appetite for foreign goods and services (even tooth pick)..

I will probably see heaven before you. Cause even though I work hard everyday of my life, I love my neighbors as my self and keep the commandments and the environment I live in people loves themselves even though they don't waste their fruitful years in church, its a better society, look around you, church everywhere yet vampires live in your churches . the society is among the most corrupt in the world with no ethical value.

You and the in Nigeria needs revaluation.

Why should they be paid for not topping up the ATM? I understand it's a kind of office rotation job to man the ATMs.

I get the useless people bit. But as a banker that should be expected. Nigerians have it easy compared to other countries who work Saturdays at the bank, so I don't really see what the problem with that is.
