This is from someone that works there:

No...it not true. The bank has it's policies, just like every other bank.

-Resumption is 8am
- Close by 5pm
-What the person called 'sweat shops' are branches. AB is the only MFB in Nigeria that has offices as building of their own...not attachments.
- The promotion rate at branches is better than employees in the head office.
- The bank does not subject it's employees to anti labour exercise at all!
-The health package is higher than those provided for commercial bank employees.
- You can go on leave as it pleases you.
- The 'you need to have family b4 promotion' is totally wrong. You don't need to know anyone to get in or get promoted. Merit is the keyword.

- The major challeng AB has today started when Nigerians were pulled into the Management Team which was solely composed of expatriates. Now we have atleast 4 Nigerians in the Senior Management Team.

As you would expect....this has lead to favouritism and unequal distribution of annual salary increments and promotion....the promotion aspect mainly affect us in the head office.

Rhe truth now is, just a few are enriching themselves and this became the case when these Nigerians were empowered. They get benefits for jobs done by lower members of staff. While promotion is now given based on your oga's closeness to the M.D. (white) especially when the last one was around. We are expecting a new M.D. this month.

We blacks don't like evenness in wealth distribution...thats why we are where we are today.

The bank's employee turnover was high last year bekus the bank is facing competition from other banks....who entice employees with sweet salaries and reduced targets. The bank has failed in this regard bekus it maintains it annual yearly increments and targets.

If you get to the benchmark for promotion, it is enacted immediately. ( at the branch)

What I believe is that since the bank has refused to improve in the areas that interest employees the most which are salaries and bonuses....you can't force them...you pray you get a better offer elsewhere and move.

Good morning Nairalander, please I am in a Dilemma and need all the help I can get in other not to make a costly mistake. Straight to my story.


On the 27th of November, my employer disengaged (sacked) me and a few of my colleagues with some bogus accusation of under productivity and insubordination. We were asked to turn in every company property in our care which we duly handed over before leaving.In our dismissal later, it was clearly stated that 'our terminal benefits will be paid along with our salary for the month of November'.

Prior to our dismissal, the sum of 5000 was always deducted from our salary every month as caution fee which is supposed to be paid when one leaves the company, but with experience from people that have left, it is always a tug of war as the company doesn't honor that.

Now, we got information that the company paid her Workers November salary yesterday but we that were dismissed didn't get paid. Individually we called the accountant who from the discussion we had made it point clear that there was no provision for us in the payment voucher and every attempt the reach the management has proved abortive as they have kept posting and at a point not taking our calls.

I decided to bring this here in other to get the best solution to this problem and also to know the various agencies to get involved.Apart from the call which i made to the accountant and the center manager, i have not taken another step as i don't want to make a mistake in dealing with them. I have seen problems of this type get solved here and i believe that mine and that of my colleagues will be solved. Thanks as I wait for HELP.

Please Kindly help me tag people with experience in dealing with this kind of issue.

Kindly help me get this to a larger audience

1. Read the company policy regarding disengagement and terminal benefits
2. You stated that in the letter they stated that you will be paid then you should find out what payment you are entitled to, ie. leave days, notice period, Gratuity etc
3. Wrote a letter to the company and ensure you have proof of delivery.
3. If you do not get a response then you should approach the National Industrial Court in Ikoyi for redress. They are very pro-employees and judgments from the Court can not be appealed.

You are such a child that hasn't experienced life... after the job it's family that will remain...

You made mistakes and the deed is done. To earn the trust of your husband you must quit your job and find another as the first step towards true reconciliation except you get favored at work by your so call 'boss'.\

CuteTj:

Dude, is it that you weren't patient enough to read the news till the end or is that you have a problem with your eyesight that you missed where he said the bolded above (no insult intended)?
@ overlord77, it seems you too didn't read the news till the end.

You missed the point... The kneejerk reaction is the description of the car before he later talked about no one getting hurt...

Donpizzle:


is it dt u didn't finish reading the article or u lack understanding or both?.

Actually you quite stupid...

When contacted, Belami who is also the convener of the Nigeria Rebirth Project and President, Cabinet-X Africa said, ‘’ [/b]it’s true that I lost My BMW X 6 V8 5.0 ltrs twin turbo to an explosion[b]

For someone that just escaped death by the whiskers appears he is more pained losing the car than escaping death...

queenyetty09:


Get them home as in? Get them to Naija or help dem get a roof over their head?
The lady also lives on point road, so what's d diff?

They should go back home... I know quite a lot of them who graduated from schools in Nigeria and are working as security guards and earning R2000 monthly... Others are not even working they just hustling

queenyetty09:
Good initiative!

But op, if I may ask, what criteria were used to choose the Union's beneficiaries?

Cos I know the lady in brown. True, she's hardworking but I can't described her as not been financially able to celebrate Christmas her own way. She's got her own little business in Dbn
My point is this, there r more families who needed these monetary help more than she did. Some are even homeless living in church quarters. Some sleep on d Street. Go to Point n u will pity n even advise them to go back home
I won't blame the Union though cos most weren't registered under the Union

Keep up d good work @ op

Rightly said but the initiative is to get them home... Those you described on point road are pathetic... I think I might know you or we know some mutual people

What roles Are you offered?

Ambi25:
I had an interview with a security firm two days ago but the job is in Dubai! i so love Nigeria that am confused right now if it will pay to take a security job in Dubai.
Please your (advice) will help.

It might not be scam but please don't take it. They will enslave you for 2 years at least. And you cant complain or else you will be deported.

NewNigeriaMind:
Notice the yellow lanes for BRT buses only. Also take note of the wideness and cleanness of the roads

[b]I have been to 4 provinces in Joburg and the quality of roads is the same.

[/b]Now, I am yet to see a pothole on any road in the city and this is not an exaggeration but a fact

There are no provinces in Johannesburg because it is in Gauteng province. There are 7 Provinces in South Africa more like states in Nigeria so please correct your earlier statement

BlaqCoffee109:
gbokuku whatever, please reset your head..its still morning...Ututuoma..my fellow country men

So give us a situation report. What has happened this Wednesday?

lekpalicious:
I don't know how true this is but I have been receiving lots of messages and hearing a lot of things and wanted to share it just in case this is true. Please becareful:

WARNING :
Massive Xenophobic attack secretly planned for this coming Wednesday 08/04/2015
By different South African communities around Cape Town.
Avoid using public transport specially train,taxi etc...
Stay away from isolated areas,don't walk around townships.
Please share this warning with friends and foreigners families leaving in South Africa specially in Cape Town.

What's your source? SA is not a lawless country like Nigeria... Those xenophobic attacks usually happens in townships, I doubt if it can happen in CT...
