I checked for her on Facebook. She was one of those NCCF born again sisters. Its so sad. She doesn't deserve to go in such a horrible way, after living a life of purity and piety....

Crazyman, 1forall. Please assist move this thread to front page so we can get as many views and opinions as possible.

It's weekend and I'm thankful there is no training or MPR to take away my beloved 'me' time. I have learnt to appreciate times like this. I have been in a situation at work where I worked Monday to Monday.

Guitarlife, I get you. But in a situation when some people get the job at 29 years, is it then feasible to leave at 30?
Once you are there also, your plans to leave after a certain time fly out of the window. Your colleagues (the few who like you), your family, your friends advise you to get something else before you leave. Your boss tells you during the morning meeting that there is no job out there. You see the desperate customers who come with their CV to the bank telling you they wanna submit. Before you know it, your mentality becomes half bread is better than kulikuli.
So you become stuck.

Forgetting there are some opportunities being missed by remaining in the murky waters of banking....

Thanks for your replies. It would however be nicer if we specify our various units. Like I said earlier, I am a marketer. This is the last quarter and year end deposit mobilization is officially on.

Hmmmn. Life as a banker is unexplainable. You just have to experience it to understand it.

When you get to a branch as a new staff , one of the questions they ask you is who do you know? Because it is expected that those you know, are the ones that would assist you meet your target.
But it is an open secret. Friends will not help you.
If that was the way it was, then i'd have long met my target. Because I do have friends in high places. Friends I went the extra mile for back then when we were students.

From experience, your rich friends keep away from you as if you are begging them for money. It is the ones who don't have that much that call you, asking for loans from you and the likes. 99% of the time, these people do not return the borrowed money. Afterall, you are a banker and you 'have money'.

Hello all.

I don't think there is a thread like this at the moment.
I am a banker, a marketer.

We all know it hasn't been a walk in the park for the banking industry in recent times-job loss, the gruelling schedule, the politics. the killing targets, manipulative colleagues, the economy and so on.

For current bankers, how do you survive as a banker and keep your head above water?

For ex bankers, how is life outside banking? Did you quit? Were you pulled out by the lure of another job or were you sacked?

Soon to be bankers, how prepared are you for the banking life?

Personally, as a marketer, it's not funny. I guess that's why people say bankers are stingy, as money is not made as easily as a civil servant would for example. So someone like me is as careful as can be when it comes to money.

Please let us all interact as adults.

Hmmn...

Since its reptile season.

This was caught behind someone's backyard on my street sometime last year. Rumor had it that the commodo Lizard had been eating their chicken's .

It was big and very meaty and trust awon boys they descended on it.

Wooow....
Very big...and very meaty too as you said.

This is what happens when 1 staff does the work of 3 people. When he was the only one in that section, how won't he transfer millions?
You will see them sweating and trying to look cheerful. No lunch breaks.

There is bound to be security lapses when you do this severe under staffing just to make more profit. Why not reduce salary and get more hands?
