TRENDING: “Who is your dad, how did you get this Job?” — Zenith Bank allegedly asked a Tiktoker, before firing her for filming office VLOG. GRWM Becca was first queried in 2022 after joking about a whopping ₦10,000 salary increment, a joke that, according to her, management did not “get”. She was summoned before the Disciplinary Committee at the Head Office, where she was asked who her parents were and how she got the job. She told the that her father is a pastor and that she got the job by applying like everyone else. As a new employee and first-time offender, she appealed to this, and was subsequently pardoned. Months later, the company substantially increased salaries, which Becca believes happened, at least in part, because of the attention her video brought to the issue. As her social media following grew between 2024 and 2025, she received more warnings from management over the extensive workplace exposure in her videos. Becca initially didn’t understand the concern because she believed she was doing what everyone else was doing , dance. However, she eventually understood the company’s position and toned it down. In April, she posted a full office vlog, which immediately earned her another query and a fresh summons before the Disciplinary Committee. This time, a full panel. She was formally accused of inappropriately exposing the workplace in her content. She finally got the message, took down all the videos, stopped posting content about or showing the workplace, adhered to the guidelines, and limited her GRWM videos to her bedroom. Yet, on Thursday, July 23, 2026, she filmed her final GRWM. Upon arriving at work, her Branch Manager calmly broke the news: she had been asked to tender her resignation, effective immediately. Becca paused to catch her breath, then made her way downstairs to type what would become her final words; a quiet farewell to a career, a team, cherished friends, and a life she had built over the better part of half a decade. Fans are comparing Becca’s dismissal for content in Zenith Bank, with Tega who was apparently promoted for content at FCMB. However, many argue that, Tega did not show the bank’s vault in her videos.
