New scandal for the Australian Bank Anz. 100 bankers learned of their dismissal on Wednesday, August 27 by an email that was asking them for mistakes to do their computers, reports the Financial Times. Anz only planned to announce these publications until next week.
This adds that “these errors are the direct result of the chaotic rhythm of the change imposed by the new CEO of Anz.” “I deeply regret the anguish that this situation may have caused. I know that we are committed to dealing with each colleague with dignity and respect throughout this procedure,” reacted one of Anz’s officials.
Alcohol and prices management
In recent years, the bank has been regularly under the fire of criticism. It was the subject of a survey for a possible prices manipulation linked to the sale of state bonds.
The alcohol consumption of their merchants during their work hours was also pointed out. Last year, Financial Times said that part of Anz’s staff returned “drunk” of his lunch and had pronounced “rude” in the Sydney market room. Nuno Matos, the new manager, must announce a strategic review in the coming weeks.
Three years ago, the Australian bank giant had signed an agreement of 4.9 billion Australians (3.3 billion euros) to absorb Suncorp Bank, one of the largest acquisitions in the sector for more than ten years. The greatest operation in the Australian banking sector since 2008 was to Anz the third mortgage provider in the country.
