Diamond Bank Sacks Over 100 Workers

Diamond Bank Plc yesterday relieved over
100 of its staff their jobs, for not measuring
up to the Bank’s measuring standard.
National Mirror was told that those
affected, which included those that have
spent over five years with the bank have
been given their sack letters.
According to a source close to the bank,
there was palpable tension and a brief stop
of office activities at the headquarters of
the Bank in Lagos where many of those
affected were serving.
It was gathered that the financial institution
allegedly downsizing was necessitated due
to low patronage, which the bank is
experiencing in recent times.
National Mirror was not able to get the
actual number of those sacked, but was
told the number is over 100.
A company source however said the
affected staff were those who performed
below average in the bank’s yearly
assessment test.
