The information is true.

Grapevine says 700 names have been penciled down but the target is actually 1000 staff.
Re: Zenith Bank Downsizes - 600+ Employees Sacked by jdamian: 10:39am On Nov 24, 2009
itz very very true, the target is actually 1000, but 700 were shown the way out over the weekend.my hisband works there.evri one is looking for something else incase they are the next on the list.it wasn't at gun point, they were told to drop their I.Dcards at the head office n resignation letter.So Sad.The fallout from the economic recession and our "great" Sanusi's cleansing.
Re: Zenith Bank Downsizes - 600+ Employees Sacked by skillmyman(m): 10:58am On Nov 24, 2009
The chicken has come home to roost!!
with all the banks being asked to do adequate provisioning for bad loans which they have being carrying and poting the interest on these bad loans to their balance sheet, the profit of all the banks have declined considerably and it is obvious that the running cost is too high for the real profit they are making.

Uba declared 50b profit last yr but has declared a loss of 9b this yr!!! that shows a sharp decrease of 59b. now, how can most banks still pay the kind of armed robber salary they used to pay??
Re: Zenith Bank Downsizes - 600+ Employees Sacked by yjay(f): 11:10am On Nov 24, 2009
