Bangladesh Bank, which found the matter unusual, held a meeting with the bankers. However, it is not satisfied with the bankers&rsquo; response and will continue investigations.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;It is also learned that the meeting held at Bangladesh Bank discussed the issue of forcible dismissal of bank employees from the banks,&rdquo; Dhaka Tribune said, adding that the Central Bank said it was inhumane to sack employees amidst the pandemic.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;Many workers could not find jobs elsewhere due to their high salaries. The issue also created instability in the banking sector,&rdquo; it noted.</p>
<p>
The Association of Bankers, Bangladesh (ABB)&mdash;an organisation of managing directors of banks, however said that a few banks laid off some employees &ldquo;in compliance with the rules.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
The association has said that &ldquo;some bankers have voluntarily resigned following the rules&rdquo; as their performance was not up to the mark. &nbsp;</p>
