For all those Indians who want to make Dollars working in Nigeria beware of Globacom or Glomobile.This company is not worth leaving India and your existing job no matter how bad it is. Let us tell you something about this group, the owner and some of their practices This company will lure you with dollar appointment letters and will promise the moon but what you get is this
CAR-Everyone joining is promised a CAR but people are not given a CAR even after six months. Lagos without a car is a total no as there is no public transport.CEO level people have not been given a car. They have to beg other people to drop them.
SALARY- You will get your salary in two parts-local in naira equivalent and the other in dollars in India. The local salary is given to you at the official conversion rate of 130/135 naira to a dollar and when you change it in the market you change it at 145 Naira to a dollar. A straight loss What's more the salary is credited in the bank owned by the owner and when you withdraw you pay a ''Cost of Transaction''. You cant open an account anywhere. If you leave or they come to know you are planning to leave they will not let you withdraw the money in your account Now the dollar salary-It is paid once in three/four months and suppose you leave before your salary has been credited they will forfeit your salaries. The owner is a shaitan who drinks peoples blood. He has not paid so many people the salaries which were write fully due to them...So be prepared to lose your dues if you leave Globacom
Leave- You will be promised leave after one year of joining(after confirmation)The beauty is they will not confirm you and whenever you go on leave your salary will be cut(all from your dollar earnings)The leave itself is difficult to get as all applications go to the Owner who decides on leaves. Some people who asked for leave were asked to leave permanently
House-They will not give you a house even if promised. Many people have taken houses on their own. They pay a allowance in lieu of Accomodation.It is not even sufficient to get a servants quarter in VI/Ikoyi.You will get a house far off and don't have a car. Now imagine your plight
Sackings- The owner will sack you without any reasons if he does not like your face.Infact you can stay here without performing if the owner somehow starts liking you.The company has had 10 CEOs since it started two years back and many INDIANS HAVE BEEN SACKED
Promotions-You got to be kidding. With all this do you really believe you will get promotion in this company
Work Style and Job Content-You could be an engineer but could be asked to sweep the floor by the owner and you have to do it, Everything needs the owners signature even if you have to take a pencil out of the store.He abuses people badly often using the four letter word.So if self respect and dignity is not what you care for this is the place for you.
