Imagine being told by the head of branches that ‘he has no MBA, yet he is a General Manager’ only cause you have enrolled yourself for a masters degree and he sees no value for it.
Imagine reading an email that tells you the bank doesn’t need expensive deposits only cause a non-Indian client has 100million to put in a fixed account and his name betrays him.
Imagine an African client looking for a small loan of 600,000shs for asset finance being declined yet his account over qualifies him but… Well..
Imagine a non-Indian client being asked for mountains and mountains of paperwork to support a credit card limit of 30,000k yet his Indian counterpart sails smoothly even with a mere signature from ‘someone at the top’
Imagine being transferred to Mombasa from Nairobi only cause some branch manager doesn’t like you and has colluded with some senior manager at HR to frustrate you.
Imagine a senior manager at HR calling you a Slayqueen in front of her colleagues.
Imagine the head of branches telling you that you don’t work for him or the CEO but for your loans and child in the most disgusting and harshest of tones.
Imagine an Indian staff going for sick leave days on end, yet policies have clear guidelines for leave yet HR turns a blind eye.
Imagine… Just imagine….
This and much more is what a DTB staffer is likely to face on a normal working day.
Neo-colonialism is what’s happening in that Bank.
