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.
