A former old generation bank Contract Staff in Nigeria- Osarugue Flora Aiworo has called on banks to commence sharing of profits with support staffers .
Ms Aiworo who lamented over the continuous neglect of contract staffs by bank managements despite their productive contribution to the business of banking further described the old long tradition as demeaning of support Staffers.
According to her, support staffers are mainly the ones that goes out to bring in clients that operate new accounts with the bank and unfortunately, the accounts are re-directed to other staffs within the bank.
“I started speaking up about profit sharing with support staff in all our meetings. At one point, I was asked not to raise the issue again. I even raised the issue with a bank’s Managing Director on two occasions but he gave me deaf ears.”
“I’m doing this because this set of people are living like refugees in Nigeria, they are living as if they are not Nigerians living in their own father’s land. I think the support staffers are to be encouraged more, they’ve been working as part of profit making process. When it’s time to share profit, they are asked to leave the room.”
“I’m using this medium to appeal to Managing Directors and Chief Executive Officers of banks. I’m calling on every well meaning Nigerians to lend their voice to this.” She said.
She however called on AY, Very Dark Man, Deji Adeyanju, Sowore, to lend their voices to her plea, stressing that the support staffers would never be able to speak up for fear of loosing their job.
” They cannot even vote on election day because they work every day- from Sunday to Sunday.” She said
“This is an appeal for banks to add this set of people to their profit sharing scheme. Help me tag anybody you know that is a social media influencer. These people are your brothers and sisters”, she added.
