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?

It depends on on the industry, and the relationship bte mgt and staff, but this is the default behaviour. Because you cannot guarantee what staff will do if they have advance notice.

Esp if they are aggrieved. It is the default in banks.

As an example I have helped people planning their exit to evacuate their saved files etal from company laptops. This is something employers do not want.

It sucks but thems the breaks

No Labour Law bro, even the few have been hijacked by jackals who happen to be the elites in the society. They happen to do and undo because they have their way in the system. You guys deserve a compensation if your employment has been between 3 month otherwise refer to your employment letter.

I will tell you what happened to me 2ce.
Warning ! I don Japa but common sense is supposed to be common now .

Scenario 1
We were all called into a town hall meeting were it was announced that company would be letting us all go. Unless
a. we were willing to accept less pay
b. we would migrate to the country but we will not be paid as expatiates. We would be paid slightly higher plus airfare and accommodation for 6 months.
c. We would be given a lump sum of money and leave the company.

I choose option C

Scenario 2
We had another town hall meeting in which they mentioned that due to financial constraints and business needs some departments would be merged and roles consolidated.
a. Wait and see if my job would remain.
b. jump ship

I choose B.

It is not your company's business that you bought a new car or built a new house based on expected revenue from salary as an employee. What happens if you die suddenly ? That debt passes onto your next of kin and hopefully you have a life/death policy in play.

Find out the labours laws regarding termination of employment. Professional companies would pay maybe 6months salary others you get 2 weeks pay and that's it.

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.

That's like 2 weeks notice... That's fair from the part of the management.... It's more humane to let you people go than to owe salaries, trust me, it's a painful decision from the management too.
Relax Chief, when a door closes, another one opens up ...

Earlier in April 2022 I was disengaged from work. There were over 250 of us, all supervisors. I was fortunate to be privy to the information 2 weeks before then. Others weren't. Imagine the shock for those who have put in over 15 years. I thought of it and wandered how else they could have done it. But truth is they did it the best way the could besides it is a bank. They compensated meagrely but they could have done better. There is no other way of disengagement except actually asking you to go whenever they want. They wouldn't give you prior notice, what is If you decided to run away with there money? Infact, that Eve of the disengagement, I learnt everyone affected were disabled from the computers!

When oil rig companies in the USA are looking for workers with or no field experience with better pay, Nigeria is laying off stupid continent called Africa.

Our company also disengaged us citing the same reason, but gave us 2 months notice. It is a school. At the end of third term they told us that we may not resume by September. That was it. Everyone is to be paid 1 month salary for every year he/she have sarved in the school, up to six years. If you were with them for 10 years you will still be paid six months salary as severance package. This was the promise. The problem now is that nobody has been paid a dime since then. They promise to pay in due course. We don't know how to follow them now it is two months and counting.

Jaftee:
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

This is why I tell people, if you're working for a private firm, you don't have a job. You contract can just be terminated without you commiting any wrong.

Is there ever a right time for a company to disengage staff?

My advice to the worker is simple, save as much as you can whilst you still have that job. Invest if you can too.

Update your Resume as often as possible and push it out. That job can leave you at any time. Don't worry if you don't get anything immediately, it's like fishing, it takes patience and you never know when the hook will drag in a big fish.

A case of when the desirable is not available, the available become desirable. At OP, the organisation did the right thing by carrying you guys along before the deal day and besides it was not outrightly spelt out how your contract can be terminated. Cheers man.

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

Mr urchin, you forgot to blame Ibos for the loss of his job. grin

The statement means your boss can terminate your appointment without notice so giving you to month end is actually more than what is stated in your letter. My only hope for you is that you get your full month's salary and whatever benefits accrue from your disengagement.

They should inform you within a specific period. If they could not do this, they will pay a certain amount in lieu. Same way you have to inform ur employer for your intention to quit in 3 months advance. Failure to do that, they will deduct a certain amount from ur terminal benefit in lieu of pre information.

Take it ir leave it, if employer give 6 months notice of disengagement from work, workers will still complain. Reason is, salary is never enough and before month end, you are already owing. Most workers slave for the company they work for, from teachers to bankers, telecom, oil workers etc. I have seen that market women are more comfortable than office workers. They live low and save while office workers live high to impress whoever, owe debt of money, wears, school fees, rent etc.
My advice, you will not die. First adjust lower, pray to God for direction, inform your wife and children to prepare for what is coming. Move out and be courageous.
Dont forget to talk to your friends.
Nothing do u.

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 notify 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
