Is it just me or did anyone else noticed that the statement issued did not in any way denied sacking its staffs? because all I can deduce from it was them trying to tell us what we already know using different words.

In one breath they said they did not sack any staff, in another one they said it only affected there outsourced staffs.

sherylbakky:
This is the point

They are firing outsourced staff.

What difference does it make?

That is it. They are not firing their core staff, but sending back the outsourced staff to their primary employers who would have no other option than to shelve the excess load.

They are just using corporate lingo to bamboozle us, they are sacking those they want to sack, and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Pubichairs:


The point is what's buhari and his cohorts gonna do with the recovered Abacha loot...

The wads won't be enough for them to embezzle on useless stuffs that won't yeild any good to the nation, he'll end up borrowing again, what a useless individual.

APC dogs...any act from the presidency goes well for them...useless supporters

Keep wailing

LordShiva97:
Something is fishy.
This won't end well.

CBN must have threatened them with force acquisition by alerting investors that access bank is up for sale

If you read this news and believe the story being churned out by these bank,my brother and sister,your CASE IS INDEED DIFFERENT,na only GOD go fit plant sense for your brain be dat.

Lies! They wanted to test the water and see if it will work before CBN gave the directives.

Paperwhite:
So why did it take Access bank days to issue a rebuttal? Nigeria is indeed a shithole nation.

I am sure you didn't grasp the content of the newsletter because if you do ,you'll realise that its done for most of their outsourced staffs.
Please read it thoroughly

kerry57:
When there are confirmations of staff who have received sack letters, u still come out to deny u did. U guys u are denying it now because cbn is halting any sacking process. The truth is u guys have been wanting to sack diamond bank acquired staff and waiting for the slightest opportunity to do that. Well only time will tell.

Yes, you get it.The Diamond staffs have been on edge since last year, because the management has been looking for the opportunity to sack them and close most of the Diamond branches.The Pandemic is now an excuse for them. Forget this rebuttal,if you read between the lines, you will see the excuse to sack in this rebuttal.

IMASTEX:
Oga no need behaving like Nigeria politicians. You're a businessman and business is strictly for money making. You are simply doing what you see best to maintain your business for the now due to the obvious simple! Major bank transactions have been withdrawals and insignificant deposits because businesses are closed, so how would you make money if your running cost is high. It is the government that has failed the people. In a sane place, they should have been doing everything to keep businesses comfortable buy here, they are looking to businesses to beg from. And the reality is that salaries will be cutdown and many will still be sacked regrettably. Nigeria remained one of the riskiest place to fully depend on one source of income every employee should know that by now.

In other words, you support tha action of the bank in laying off 70% 75% of her staff.

Is the error leading to gross losses not made chiefly by the management of the bank? So, who should pay the price for someone's inefficiency?

Lie Access Mohammed

Bleep access bank... because Nigerians threatened to close their access bank account, that's why they've reversed their wicked and awful decision of sacking their worker's... God bless Nigerians that voiced out...

Kennitrust:
With all these nonsense, one could support the bills against fake news.

Freedom of speech is not freedom of destruction na.




This just the reason journalist doesn't have respect anymore.

oga so you believe that access bank has not sacked or closed branches?

Oga I was at a branch yesterday we were told they've been shutdown and we were redirected to other branches, am at one of the ones we were redirected to, the crowd is too much because other branches have been closed

obajoey:
They are not sacking their staff indirectly means-- they are not sacking their direct staff, only outsourced staff.

The way those banks treat contract staff ehen. If you have been there you will know it is an experience you may not forget so easily.

Those people no get empathy at all.

Getting a job as an outsourced staff is even better.

What about other Nigerians who are working in ONE MAN BUSINESS OUTFIT where you are not sure of getting paid as at when due.

What about those ARMY OF THE UNEMPLOYED still trekking in their worn out shoes searching for that illusive jobs in the labour market.

WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE A SUPER godfather YOU ARE NOT SURE OF GETTING A JOB IN NIGERIA.

Not even a godfather, a Super one !

I don't know was sacking buh I was 98% sure the closing of branches was fake news

helinues:
So Access bank also don dey play politics economics with sacking of workers

Don't mind the confused bank.

Emmizofficial:
If there's any staff or worker of access bank please kindly hint us regarding the validity of this claim. Is it true or false?

Yes the claim is true. The bank is not sacking any staff.

liars

Useless bank, after the intervention of the CBN mandating them not to sack any staff. Is it by force to dash FG N1Billion just for publicity purpose only? Donating N1B at the expense of that cleaner who earns 15k per month when you don't have the financial wherewithal to do so? Yet, the N1B donated has gone with the winds, cannot be accounted for.

You better put on your thinking cap. Thank God you denied at this juncture cos I listened to the video where your MD categorically made the statement. Laying off staffs at the moment remains a very bad decision, wicked act, bad reputation & image for any serious, self respected & a bank claiming to worth it salt.

This same Access Bank gave out their heart in 1billion naira donation to a witless Government. They turned around to pounce on the hapless workers whose home training and dignity has been flushed into a ceespit due to the nature of the work. They don't even have the right to sack two workers. It is as if they valued making donations than the welfare of their workers.

This is so annoying ! So are they saying outsourced staffs that has worked for years ain’t ACCESSBANK staff !! This country is indeed a shithole country !!! I WAS SACKED BY ACCESS BANK THROUGH A RECRUITMENT ORGANISATION SOL !!! Have spent nothing less than 6years with the bank and the worst is I was driving to work daily during the lockdown

See below my sacked letter o without no payment whatever

And it took them how many days to explain or deny?

Nigeria doesn't have a reliable journalism

News in this part of the world is really confusing.

You read the way the news is composed and you relax your mind with the BELIEVES that the news is from a reliable source only for another blogger to come up with another claim.


Modified:

Nigeria is a very serious confusion.

Journalist and bloggers want to cash out too na so they must write something, Anything!

Btw; publishing fake news is not only related to NIGERIAN journalist, it's virtually everywhere in the world.

Example, North Korean supreme leader Dead news etc etc

See laid Muhammed in access bank. CBN actually stop them.

Were there no discussions or plan to absorb you as a core Access bank staff in all these years? I know some banks absorb contract staff after 3-5 years of working with them, especially for holders of Bachelors degree which I want to believe you're also one.

Denying the obvious is the first requirements being an APC member.Despite the visible evidence they still have the gut to come out and deny,God punish them for donating 1billion when they could have saved that to salvage the situation.

NaijaRoyalty:
Who's deceiving who

Buhari is deceiving us

Access Bank too wan dey deceive us .

Who we go trust ?

Guaranty Trust Bank? (GTB)

This stupid bank is trying to use English to deceived us, what do they mean by directive from CBN, why now heartless MD and management they have in that bank

The GMD actually came out with a press statement that they would drop workers(cashiers,cleaners,security men n others), man even said he would take a 40% paycut so what are they denying again. I don't understand. Annoyingly,they were among d useless bunch dat donated to the FG. Same FG dat has borrowed to fight d corona banks donated for dem to fight.

Oga make una try dey talk like who get brain. Diz wasn't a fake news. The GMD said they would be dropping workers in a broadcasted video. He even said he would be taking a 40% paycut. So wat did Nigeria bloggers do wrong? Even CNN n BBC posts fake news

Scammers like Access Bank. How can they sack my friends and claim it's a lie. I know you guys better. Those sacked had served for 10 to 12 years with nothing to show for. Due prolonged contract banking job. Now they have been sucked dry and dropped. Chai govt should Bann co tract stuffs in Banks to get rid of modern day slavery.
Sai Baba...

Uyi168:
The number was probably exaggerated..
A whole 75%..Haba na...

Oga it was a live video o not as if bloggers posted a written statement. The GMD said it on a live video. If its a lie why has it taken them days to deny it? When people are already uploading dier sack letters
