The bank refused to mention hundreds that were sacked. Here is one of the sacked staff testimony who is planning to meet them in court.
Congratulations to those who got their promotions. Unfortunately however, the MD was deliberately silent on the fact that, this is the first promotion exercise in the Bank for the past three years.
He is also provocatively silent on the over 286 other staff he has sent out of the Bank by terminating their appointments in one swoop, with payment of only one month salary in lieu of notice. Both letters of promotion and the sack letters were released simultaneously and so one wonders why the MD/CEO chosed to blow a loud trumpet on one and left out the other.
I gave the Bank my youthful age and strength, serving for 18 years only for me to be served with a LETTER OF TERMINATION on Monday 14th August, 2017 on the ground that MY SERVICES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED. The letter went further to state that I will be paid my salary up to the date of the letter (11/8/2017) and one month basic salary in lieu of notice. What a callous management? As if that is not enough, the letter states further that I will be advised of my indebtedness to the Bank for me to pay. And I understand this includes the rent arrears that was given to me in January, which I paid to my landlord. I don't know if they actually expects my to go and ask the landlord to return it for me to return to them. I am not sure if they really carried the legal dept where I spent over 12 years in their decision. If they did, then they would have known that they are jokers.
As I resume in private practice next week, I am waiting for them.
