This is nothing but thrash you wrote here

Is it all departments that involves being outgoing in a bank? It is only the marketing unit that requires that. Are you telling me that the operations people that you see their faces in the banking hall requires you to be out going and extroverted? or the IT guys at the bck end, the internal control guys or the compliance guys.

The writer deserves a dirty slap for thinking that the banking industry is a place where they share gossips and dicks. It is his likes that get booted out for incompetence, and later runs to social media making all sorts of absurd claims.

Mystery2020:
1. Extraversion
You must be an extrovert, period. The Nigerian banking industry has zero tolerance for non-outgoing personality types. If you are not, make sure you are well connected both within and without.

2. Small talk
You must like small talks and gossips, and actively engage in them. Otherwise you yourself will become the subject of gossips by your colleagues and it will be difficult for you to change the narrative.

3. Flirty
This is very important especially if you are male. The women in this industry, both married and single are sex-starved and they always appreciate men that have regular erections. The last thing you want is for all the ladies in your office to gang up against you.
As a lady, you must be ready to receive anything from a hug, hands on your waist, neck or shoulder, to a kiss, even dick.

1, 2 & 3 are very important to avoid being tagged "lifeless". Once you have this tag, everything you do will be irritating to your boss and coworkers.

4. A$$ Licking
The industry is like a mafia. You must constantly show your loyalty and assure your colleagues and superiors of your loyalty, otherwise they will see you as arrogant and will begin to plot your dismissal.

5. Toxicity
Banking has one of the highest toxicity scores according to the Nairaland Toxicity Index: https://www.nairaland.com/7103678/toxicity-score-various-occupations-sectors
You must be a toxic person, and must regularly dish out you venom to both colleagues and subordinates. Else, you will not survive.
Bankers are like sharks who can smell blood hundreds of miles away. Your inability to dish out your toxins will give the rest of your coworkers a signal that you can be preyed upon, which they shall surely do.

6. Political Correctness
Your opinions have to be in sync with those of your colleagues. You must always agree with the majority publicly, but you can express your disagreement in private with 1 or 2 colleagues.

7. Team Work
Team work is useful only for those in operations (branch or elsewhere). Forget it if you are in sales (marketing). Here, everyone is on their own, it is dog eat dog!

8. Relationship with surbodinates
The banking industry is a frat house. Avoid relating with security men and cleaners if you want to climb the corporate ladder fast. The exception here are female cleaners; you may service them occasionally.

I am a banker for over 7yrs, I don't have or do any of those and I am surviving well in the industry. I am just outgoing and friendly. Stop writing rubbish

I think it all depends on individual experiences. Some may not have it this bad and others may be lucky to never experience any of these toxicities the OP highlighted. It can even differ from one branch to another, a department/unit to another. It also depends on our perspectives and reaction to issues.

I read the OP's experience and it's obvious he drew his conclusions from his own experience.
