Is This The Right Way of Disengaging Workers from service? by thedarkened: 10:10am On Oct 19, 2022
I will be brief about this.

Earlier this week, we got the shock of our lives; we would be laid off at work by month end due to financial setbacks the company is going through.

Meanwhile, we figured it out ourselves after connecting some dots, thereafter we asked questions and our fear became a reality; we were never told prior to making our own findings.

We didn't prepare for all these, and majority have already set things in motion in their personal lives. It is indeed a shock!

Now the question is; is that the right approach when it comes to disengaging workers from service? Are we fairly treated?

Was there an employment letter or a contract of employment? If yes, what's the condition for contract termination? If no, it's unfortunate, there isn't much to be done, except the company chooses to compensate on compassionate grounds and that's at their discretion.

Cheers!

Yes, there was employment letter.

it is in the letter that he can terminate our appointment at will at anytime. However, there isn't prior notification which gives us an opportunity to prepare ahead.

At the end of the month if the company is not able to pay you, you will still be the one to come and complain, at least they told you ahead, the truth is if a company is not doing well the responsible thing is to disengage workers by notifying them ahead of time which they have done, some companies stay afloat from the total of what they make at the end of the month .

It is painful but also try to look at things too from an employers view

With your second reply up there’s it’s so unfortunate that u have nothing against them cos it was stated clearly that u can b fired anytime your services are no longer need

The best advice I can give u now is just prepare your exit plan n I don’t think it will b reasonable to start job hunting again cos similar scenario could play out n it will b like moving in circles

If u have savings this is the best time to put it to use,think of a business u can start small n try n raise capital then u are good to go

Don’t forget God bro

Unfortunately, most companies are now going with the at will phrase which gives both the employee and employer the right to terminate whenever they want to.

Dust your resume and start sending it out ASAP.

Guy in naija now, na anything u see u take because the rich believes that they have the power to opress the masses and the worst is that the govt that is supposed to help out will end up supporting the rich because they will end up buying their ways; corruption.

Naija is CHIZOBA......

Anything can happen in this part of the world. They just give one flimsy reason and get you sacked.

the company has some financial setback, even if they don't sack you, you will still not be paid. Don't you think terminating ur appointment on time is the best for them instead of owing salary.

what I am going to say is not an excuse or justification, but one of the top reason employers terminate without prior notice is to avoid compromise. some employees cannot handle the new and will resolve to pay back with attitude, sometimes compromise
