Nothing new here. not even worth reporting about. Companies have there arrangements all the time. I was expecting to see a great low interest rate, say less that 8% p.a.
The question now is, where have you guys been? No preferential rate here so what is this?
For me this is not a progressive move , why getting a Loan from a Bank and not the Institution you are working for. I believe WCFCB is a finational institute. Why should you subject your workers to Bank Interest Rate. This is being mean or Akaso Madam uyu.
Is this an achievement? Rabish.
I used to respect this Company. Now with this Ke ke ke ke ke…………….
I pit the workers.
