Airtel Sacks Workers, Pays Off Affected Staff by erunz(op): 5:30pm On Nov 17, 2015

Airtel Nigeria has embarked on a “strategic shake-up” in a move it says would reposition the business and “reinforce its competitiveness in the market place”. The mobile network operator did not disclose the number of staff affected by the development but we are made to understand it is “negligible”. “Handsome” compensatory packages were also handed to the affected staff by the “right-sizing”, Reports said. The affected staff received three months salaries in lieu of notice and an additional one month for every year they have worked, sources said.

In a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, Emeka Oparah, the director of corporate communications and CSR, said the exercise would focus on “aligning the company’s structure with its operating model”. “We wish to assure that, in accordance with best practice, a robust plan has been put in place to cushion the effect of the exercise on the impacted employees and ensure that the process is seamless,” he said. “One of the key objectives is to create a high performing organization, which satisfies the needs of all of our stakeholders, especially our customers, as we step into the next growth phase of our operation.”

They are sacking people into already congested unemployed population.

The majority of those employed are underemployed.

Don't give excuses for not being at work or at your duty post. There is "no" greener pastures anywhere!

I read a post here on NL of how a Nairalander left her job for an uncertain one. The reality later dawn on her that she was I a "paradise", compared to what she got now.

Perseverance is a key to achieving a goal.
Watch before you leap even during your job hunt.

Value the job you have now and don't lazy around.

My thought tho. cool

Trash. Corporate organisation have been downsizing for various reason since time immemorial. Some downsize for strategic reasons, others downsize as a result of poor management decisions in the past while some downsize as a result of economic downturn in their environment of operations. It is just plain mischief or outright ignorance to accuse a five months old administration of being responsible for airtel's decision to sack its workers when the company has not come out openly to tell the public the reason behind their decision.

Re: Airtel Sacks Workers, Pays Off Affected Staff by lonelydora: 6:39pm On Nov 17, 2015

So 3 months in lieu and extra one month salary for each year worked is now termed "handsomely" in Nigeria?

If a staff earns 70k/month as I heard, and worked for 5 years, please help me do the maths, and see if it's handsomely.

Please they should visit the MNCs and see what paying-off is called.

End time sack.
