Brother, i greet you and know my write up is that of a man that is a novice about how Nigeria Banking laws works. But what is performance related crime? i searched for it on Google and that too could not give me an answer, related to the Nigerian Banking context.

But the bottom line is that the statement ends with the word CRIME.

People should after getting employments, read the fine prints in their contracts before signing anything. I am sure in your contract somewhere, it was stated that your contract/appointment/confirmation can be terminated at anytime. If you were made a Staff just last month and got fired in a world record time, must mean there is more to the story you are not letting on.

I have a MILLION lines to write here, but before i continue i will appreciate you define the word PERFORMANCE RELATED CRIME in a layman's term, and then we the committee of NAIRALAND ADVISERS can go from there.

I feel your pain. First contact your HR to find out what happened and get a lawyer to write the Bank.

I work in a bank and I know a good bank won't terminate a performer just like that unless you are not telling us the full story. Do you have a DC case?

Eiya.... The earlier we bagan to realise how volatile a bank job is, the better for us. Most banks I think, want to prove that the can hire and fire @ will. You are not alone. Diamond bank runs an annual april 2nd promo/sack calender. I had 88/cent in my appraisals,won 2 CBN awards consecutively for my unit in the bank, had wonderful relationship with my bosses and worked with all the passion I have working from monday till sunday. But guess what, all those meant nothing and on the 2nd of april, I was logged out of the system too for no just cause. So you are not alone! Maybe God has a better plan for you. Yours is better self. You are fresh and in marketing. With the experience you have,simply approach other banks that value you and tell them what you can do for them. It is easier for a marketer to get a job in another bank. I think the CBN should do something about this irrational sacks. Be of good courage!

Op no smoke without fire

@Epistlegcfr... This is just the first perfect question. and the thread would be taken to Career Section.

I empathize with you OP. Imho, "Termination of Appointment" is a bit harsh.

It would have been better if they ask you to resign or give you "Services No Longer Required".

Admittedly, regulatory headwinds and the state of our economy is exerting a lot of pressures on our banks and personnel is usually the first victim in this situation. To put it bluntly, our industry is in a mess.

It is not out of place for you to seek legal advice on this but I pray that this situation launch you to a better career.

@queenfav, hardbody, Teespice...what are your thoughts on this?

@Jarus...do we have any of your contributing HR professionals on Nairaland?

you don associated or make any deal with yahoo yahoo ppl once?

Just as a moniker suggested,please explain "Performance related crime" to the house.

And to have happened just few months to your confirmation. This is serious.

Till you explain that,finger crossed.

I was also a Union bank staff until yesterday and as the writer rightly said, no prior issue, last performance report sent to marketers June 17- I was doing 95.4%. No threat, nothing! I also got my confirmation in April and the 2 years bond we signed was meant to lapse in December.

Dear house, this is injustice, the letter read 'Termination of appointment' - then I asked, on what ground?

Please we need help and advice from fellow bankers and legal practitioners. How do i get them to change the caption of the letter

Any words?

Career in the banking industry is zero, it's just the juicy offer. Sh?t happens just move on.

Hmmmm, bank works eehhh ... Despite the stress, crazy work hours, deadlines, etc... you get treated like a nobody...I know how happy you must had been when you landed the job last yr without knowing it'll last just for a few months. .... it's well OP...

Just move on... You can start something small with whatever you hv saved. Don't worry, you'll prosper. .

Buh y nau

Someone said, the expensive clothes and AC bankers use is just simply to covered there tattered and shattered personality, banking jobs in NIGERIA sucks....
I feel your pain bro but pls be calm, better days are ahead.


Pls every kindly check out my signature. Thanks

Ok go to court .that is all I have to say.

your village people...

dem dey watch you for HDTv since, that's why..

if not, oya tell me how someone with 95% appraisal gets sacked for NO reason?

One thing I know about working for anyone is that your appointment can be terminated anytime. If you read terms of conditions of the bank that you signed when you got your job, you will notice that the bank is legally covered to do whatever they did? I ask.
Just to advise... Thank God for the job lost and positively believe that you have been directed to a better future. Believe that your termination is validation of something new. You have right to feel so bad, but you have right tto know that you are too young to be pushed down.
I thank God for you.
By the way I hate bank job, but I like bankers.

A reputable bank cant just terminate appointment without reason

Sorry about what happened. It's someone who hasn't experienced this kind of sudden sack that would not understand how broken you are right now.

Unfortunately, there is really little or nothing you can do right now. Your employer has the right to hire and fire at anytime.

The only snag would be when and if they refuse to pay you your termination benefits immediately.

They are under no obligation to tell you why you were fired,except probably on moral grounds.

I understand you are still in a state of confusion. It will soon clear and you 'll face life squarely again.

About one or two persons have also said they were fired at the same time. So, they could be rationalizing.

Pick up the pieces and dont throw a pity party. It will only worsen your case. In the end,you are all you have.

A sad one.

Op, are you sure someone dint *kobalise* you?

Are you sure, you ain't eyeing one Oga's girl?

So many questions to be asked, but I don't know where to start.

But ehmmm, worry not, if you're someone who's been saving, I think you should have little savings to invest in a business, that should be after you've cleared your head.

Don't take any decision you'll regret. Be calm, if you are very sure you did nothing wrong, then be sure you'll be vindicated sooner than you expect.

But before the vindication, play your part, begin something that would earn a living for you, apply to other places, with your experience and certifications, not sure you're going to have much problem with getting a better job.

In all, it's well. Cheer up!!!

Cheers
