ReplyDeleteRubbish story. This is patently not true!
ReplyDeleteAttempt by CKN Nigeria to speak to the management of Etisalat to confirm or deny the allegations has been unsuccessful so far.....Akuko
ReplyDeleteThis story is so wrong. Very false story. Only 100 were sacked and that was because they performed below expectation during their yearly appraisal for 2 consecutive years. Pls get your facts right.
ReplyDeleteWas it as a result of their individual performance or a forced rating by the HR. Irrespective of your final performance score. ...It was demanded that line Managers provides a list of staff to be on 'Needs improvement' and all these they sacked.

Ckn is right..i am one of the victims
ReplyDeleteIt was uncalled for. Those that were sacked were staffs that have spent 4 to 6 years. They represent etisalat's pillars and the fastest growing telecoms may soon be on the verge of a crash
