Stop arguing blindly, The Law.
Elumelu was non-executive and was not an employee when he was the chairman.
Chairmen are in most cases non-executive. Not employee. And not meant to be involved in day to day running of the business.
That is NED boldy written in front of Elumelu name on the UBA board.
@aymlangford@abiodunakin05@Ifeanyisiwo@Chydee Lmao. That's the point.
We are addressing TOE, not Mark or Elon.
You might be shocked to know that most coys in the western world don't even have first name basis policy in the first place. Because they don't need to. Culture!
@aymlangford@Ifeanyisiwo@abiodunakin05@Chydee You do a google search. You'd see that he doesn't. He has access because he is chairman. That's the difference.
This is not rocket science na
@aymlangford@abiodunakin05@Chydee Lol.
He is not her colleague. He is chairman, a.k.a majority owner. He doesn't even hold any official office on UBA at the moment.
Your staff code of conduct doesn't apply to him.
On the “Good morning, Tony” issue, I think it is better to start with “Good morning, Mr Elumelu.” He can then say “Please call me Tony” IF HE WANTS!
I am Ezemmuo. I know things.
@Mysituation2@kori_babatorpe@aidevo2@itsabefe I don't think any such company will also set up DC for a staff that decides to call someone by their title, or how they want to be addressed
Again, regardless of policy, TOE is not a fellow employee of the bank. Or will the policy say, address everyone you see by first name?
@E__Umoh To be very clear, I used employer here very loosely. The ownership of the bank and the bank itself are 2 separate legal entities.
The point is that he is majority stakeholder and that he can be more likened to employer of labour as far as UBA is concerned
@E__Umoh The Chairman owns the bank. He is the employer not employee.
The training i got was - use first name basis appropriately. More importantly, address your superiors how they like to be addressed. And err on the side of caution, because cultural context matters even in Marina
@ThisFatNonso@E__Umoh That translates to owner with the highest power in the firm. Every shareholder is a owner. As chairman, he has 'controlling' stakes.
Technically, as chairman he answers to the board. But practically he heads the Board.
She made it sound like he is just another guy in the corp
@E__Umoh Lmao.
He is the highest shareholder (aka the owner with most shares). He owns the bank. He leads the Board, not an employee of the firm. Yes, it's a PLC, but he is not CEO, he is supreme leader.
Still want to know who trained me?
@sector00007 Bros, saying you guys call him Messiah is not in literal terms. Your words and actions say it's either him or no one else...that's what it means to be regard him as a Messiah.
