BANK FIRES 8 EMPLOYEES!

The bank has done it again. In what has shocked the whole of the retail bank sector in Bulawayo and indeed the whole of ZB Bank,the organisation has moved to purge those fingered in the debacle that took place in one of its branches in Bulawayo recently

Following the fiasco that saw a number of senior tellers spending some nights in the "can" and the senior supervisors being suspended,hearings were conducted and true to the bank style,there was a blitzrig with a number of these seeing themselves being send packing!

In what has been described as finger pointing and selective application of procedures,the purged supervisors have taken their fight to Harare where they are appealing their dismissal. They complained bitterly that the hearing officer had been instructed not to listen to their explanations,that she came with predetermined verdicts and that they are being made scapegoats with senior management tryng to save themselves in the wake of a series of debacles in the region.


Reached for comment,one of the supervisors who chose to remain anonymous said,"the boss knows that he has to appear tough and thats why he is firing people like this otherwise if he appears weak and indecisive he may be the next one who will be packing"


There was a sombre mood in the branch as new staff members were coming in,transfered from other branches and as the branch tried to adapt to the abrupt changes
