Stewpid bank. They forgot to add the number of staff dey sacked.
Here is a testimony of one of the sacked staff who served 18years only to be paid 1month in lieu....
Congratulations to those who got their promotions. Unfortunately however, the MD was deliberately silent on the fact that, this is the first promotion exercise in the Bank for the past three years.
He is also provocatively silent on the over 286 other staff he has sent out of the Bank by terminating their appointments in one swoop, with payment of only one month salary in lieu of notice. Both letters of promotion and the sack letters were released simultaneously and so one wonders why the MD/CEO chosed to blow a loud trumpet on one and left out the other.
I gave the Bank my youthful age and strength, serving for 18 years only for me to be served with a LETTER OF TERMINATION on Monday 14th August, 2017 on the ground that MY SERVICES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED. The letter went further to state that I will be paid my salary up to the date of the letter (11/8/2017) and one month basic salary in lieu of notice. What a callous management? As if that is not enough, the letter states further that I will be advised of my indebtedness to the Bank for me to pay. And I understand this includes the rent arrears that was given to me in January, which I paid to my landlord. I don't know if they actually expects my to go and ask the landlord to return it for me to return to them. I am not sure if they really carried the legal dept where I spent over 12 years in their decision. If they did, then they would have known that they are jokers.
As I resume in private practice next week, I am waiting for them.

Don't be deceived by the so called promotion by first bank its a fraud.To imagine the bank has been laying off staff since january without recourse to the payment of severance of any kind.it should be noted that even those promoted received nothing as promotion arearers .A lot of attrocious policies are daily been churned out to the detriment of the general work force. Let us not be deceived by the rush to press its merely window dressing the bank is not the best place to work.

Fraudulent and dastardly acts of First Bank management staff on display. One would have expect them to make the disengagement of about 300 staff without benefits that have served the bank over years ranging from 10 - 30 years the sensational news. Kindly see some of the staff responses on the publication of this same news on ThisDay publication online

The management is also practicing discriminatory policies. Recently, some management staff who were laidoff were paid one year entitlements while the middle management is being laid off without pay. This is modern day slavery and we will resist it with the last drop of our blood


First bank.. Best place to work in indeed....������
With so many pple not promoted for 6,7,8,9 years on one grade.. Meanwhile some few others get promotion on yearly basis... And those they refused to promote, instead of leaving them to do their work, they will sack them without wanting to pay a dime..... It's indeed d best place to work in!!!!!!
If Dt is how to b d best place to work then it is indeed shameful for ds country.

Welcome team, it is highly disappointed that this management of First bank can be treating their staff as if they are animals, after 32 years serving them, I was only given LETTER OF TERMINATION as if i stole money or a criminal,this is highly unacceptable. How do they want the bank to grow well, when all their past staff are always in bitterness for their attitude. We should not be silent. No word of thank you or encouragement at all after putting in years of serving them with total dedication and commitment, this is the type if letter they are serving, God will judge them because I feel very upset. This is incredible. May God see us through.

This is absolutely fraudulent. The management has not promoted for the past two years, only for them to promote now first time in the history of the bank saying that the promotion is effective September 2017. At the same time terminating the appointment of about 300 staff indiscriminately without benefits, which is against the labour law. As we speak the staff union has taken this up with them and proposal submitted for them to do the right thing in terms of rules of disengagement.

The whole world needs to know the truth......#StandForTheTruth
