@ weselove It is well ! When all goes wrong just sing out aloud 'It is well'. Don't let temporary sorrows crush you. Look at what you have: Your life, Your family, Your health & wealth and say to yourself 'It is well'. |

I don't think this is the best place to express your disappointment. I actually know where you work by virtue of this post. The best thing is for you to have an alternate source of income that pays twice your salary. That is real promotion. Buzz me if you need to brainstorm. |

Spirit of Okija: No we wont leave them out of this. Your Harlot MOTHER, LovePeddler SISTER and Slut DAUGHTER even though if they have all been making a living by flinging their thighs far apart in the air for every thing with a rod to enter doesnt mean every other decent lady will do same. Next time before your drop your stupid comment consider if you were told the same thing. Son of Jezebel Brother of a Prostitute Father of Serpent thats what you are. Bring it on i am waiting for you. @OP, you have been told what i will equally have told you. start saving hard to move on and buy your freedom and happiness. |

koolguy88: prepare ur cv and submit with other banks, u'll be invited for interview and would be employed on a next grade, make a move now and u'll be glad u did. best of luckshe works in one of de most stable bank in nigeria if not de most stable and she may not consider leavin for de fear of loosing out entirely but de only option is finding anoda source of income. OP, i ve been in yur workplace environment and de truth is dat as u know , if u dont know anyone in Human Capital , there is no sure promotion, its kinda random, i know some one in a branch in Cross river now dats been in a grade for 13years, please i am not wishin u dat and i am not sayin yu re like dat, i just wanna tell u , u re not alone, and promotion comes from God. As well, Appraisal scores aint assurance for promotion, and sleepin with bosses can only guarantee a good appraisal score and not a definite promotion. think out of the box, u may have to find a way to move out of operations, go to PSG,CBG, RBG , dey have better benefit (PFP,Promotions, trainings etc) its a pity yu feel dis way but dont put yur mind in it, if u do, u will become unhappy, agressive, and it definitely will affect yur household. wishin u de best of luck |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by laidol(f): 8:33pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
i really do understand how you feel and you are not alone. i have a lot of people in your bank too that have been on d same grade for a while and doing their best but promotion has not come.you need to encourage yourself, you are lucky you still have a job If you do not have a choice for now i suggest you try and put it behind you and continue doing ur best, hoping u will be lucky next year. but its important you try and get alternative sources of income and concerntrate a bit on your family coz even if you are given promotion next yr do you know for how long you will have to wait for the next one? i know you can also write a protest letter or somethg like that. If you want to explore that avenue you need to put enough evidence that you had put in your best and got appraised well during the year under review. Attimes some promotions are considered after the protest letter is written but they are not made public so you might not know. Then you need to be sure that your supervisor actually reccommended you because most times superiors dont reccommend you and only tell you your name was removed by Human capital. ENCOURAGE YOURSELF,all the best |

In this country merit does not work anymore. It is man know man arrangement. So dont feel bad about ur not being promoted. this will even make you stronger by focusing on other areas of human survival. start planning your exit immediately u finish reading this post because they r planning to fustrate you out of the system. Plan your exit route The time to quit is the best statagem in life I wish u success in your future endeavour.. |

acidtalk:  Dude.... You really hurt my feelings... I feel like killing myself... Heheheheheheheeeee.... You really put a lot of thought into that and disappointingly fell short... Son of Jezebel!!! What a classic. You evidently are not ready to play in the big leagues.. I will give you a second chance to get my attention. I Alusi Okija give you the freedom to take another shot at me... Feel free to curse at anyone, from my parents to even unborn kids... Prove to me that you do spit acid... I will be patiently waiting... Seriously... |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by horny4u(f): 9:04pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
Take professional courses pertaining to your job ...once you pass. Tell your boss to celebrate with you and secretly start applying for other jobs. Also do some eye service ....draw attention to your good work subtly. |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by SpiritofOkija(m): 9:08pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
laidol: My dear, In the banking world, I really can't give any solid advice as I barely know the criteria upon which promotion is given outside of 'meeting targets' for marketers and commercial bankers and appraisal for the rest... However, it's common knowledge that sex is also a vital part of our banking today, either to bring in an account or to get favor with the heads of department.. If she feels shes being cheated out of a promotion, she can either take whatever experience she has to another bank, sleep with the powers that be or simply resign... Her options don't really get any bigger than this (again I might be wrong)... Also, if she is one of those staff that is hidden (like always in a corner or her office), she may need to make her presence felt more by interacting more with management and being more mobile.. |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by Next2Bezee(m): 9:09pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
Spirit of Okija: Explain to me how all this is fun for you   The advice you gave the op was just wrong..Even serial killers and psychopaths have somewhere they draw their line surely you must have @ least a Lil bit of morality.Spirit of Okija: Now that is a lot better  You should have begun with that and kept your friends.  |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by boyendowed(m): 9:25pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
Some of these banks are just career killers.Some people have been working hard for years without promotion only to be laid off at the end of the day.Take heart |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by damoskiy(m): 9:26pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.IF YOU BOTH CAN RAISE #500,000 WITHOUT BORROWING A DINE AND YOU WON'T SELL ANY OF YOUR PROPERTIES AND STILL LIVE COMFORTABLE THEN PLEASE LEAVE THE BANKING INDUSTRY BECAUSE YOU GOT ENOUGH MONEY ALREADY.BELOW ARE MY IDEAS OF THING YOU COULD DO WITH THE #500,000 1. TRAVEL OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO DUBAI AND GET ALL SORT OF SHOES FOR BOTH MALE AND FEMALE,OR BUY COOPERATE WEARS THAT YOU CAN EASILY SELL TO YOUR FORMER COLLEAGUES. 2. OWN A BEAUTY CLINIC.BARBING SALOON,HAIRDRESSING SALOON,MANICURE,PEDICURE.MAKE SURE YOU EMPLOY PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST AND BE THE SUPERVISOR. 4. YOU CAN GET A PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND MAKE IT ON HIRE PURCHASE. |

@poster, I don't work in a bank , but am sure we are going through the same rough sides of life. I work in a cement manufacturing company , it promised so much in the beginin being a multinational. But I tell u I am goin tru emotional trauma as I speak. It seems clear to evryone in the department there is no next level in the company , only if u re connected a post will be given to u dt has never existed. More demoralizing is the fact both skilled and unskilled job is munched up in your daily schedule. As a degree holder, i expected to be using my brain @ wok, bt no way. All my job function is demoralizing, I can tell u that the jobs dished out to me isn't better than that of a labourer in a building site. I ♓ανε tried all means i knw to cut off frm dat wok place but none has woked. I ♓ανε applied to jobs, no calls. I ♓ανε applied to US for a PhD program jst to get out of my present quagmire,bt was denied. I can continue on on and on. Infact I ♓ανε become so scared that I believe evry manufacturin sector is killin...i am even losin my strength to keep up wit d job, i pray I dnt lose my mind ,and i hope help is jst within d corner for me |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by Nobody: 11:08pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
U just have to learn how to play politics. In every bank, there is PDP, get to know d power brokers, do eye service . Try n advertise urself at every opportunity like meetings etc by giving good suggestion. Take exams like cibn, ican etc. Sooner than later ull be promoted. U know banking work isn't secure these days, save! Save!! Save!!! Prepare for ur exit, as soon as u get sizeable amt, start a project; a school, distributorship, fast food etc. Take ur leave and make sure u monitor it well during kick off, pump ur sal their for a while, wen it stands, take a bow and leave. |

lolaben: I am very sure is dat wahala Ecobank. Dat is der work.... Less staff, more work, slow network, lesser pay and redundancy in promotion.Lolz. You must be an eco bank staff. @OP, Seems everyone in your workplace were expecting a promotion and all claimed to be hard workers, even workers that skive a lot and can't be arsed. Don't really know what to say as the info you have given is a bit scanty, we do not know if your role is clerical or appointed or accelerated graduate scheme, your level of qualification, how well u interact with colleagues, your contributions at meetings e.t.c well all I can say is You should be grateful that you still have a job, m sure their are over two thousand people that would gladly take your post without complaining. Also build your savings as well, you know banks are very good with firing staffs. |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by tnktosin(m): 11:48pm On Jul 02, 2012 |
In everything, give thanks. Whatever the situation as long as you still got your job, you're alot better off than a great percentage of the Nigerian populace. As long as there's life, there's hope for a better tomorrow. Take the advice you've been given, work at becoming your own boss, goodluck. |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by StepG: 1:07am On Jul 03, 2012 |
I have read ur story with utmost care. But one thing I must let you know is hard work alone in any work has never fetch one his required merit for promotion. from ur story I can deduce that ur interpersonal skills is poor. How often do you call ur boss,pay visit,give out gift etc.though this may not make sense but to be honest with you it plays a vital role in achieving ur goals as far as Nigerian context is concern. |
| Re: I Am So Very Sad by superior1: 2:37am On Jul 03, 2012 |
I can relate with your pain. I suggest you work smart and not only hard. |
