Post Reddit, written by a frustrated employee of the public sector, became a viral and hit a chord with thousands of young Indians who once believed that government work would guarantee stability, respect and balance between work and private life.
In the now widely distributed post, an employee who has been working at the Bank of the Public Sector for nine months claimed that the idea that government bank job was “safe” and “easy” is the myth of a generation.

“Our parents, relatives, all … do the work of government banks sounds like the final goal.” Safe, “decent”, “easily.” I studied so hard, and when I got in, my family was so proud.

The employee described tireless work pressure, unrealistic objectives and toxic work culture as some of the main challenges faced by the employees of the bank. According to the paper, officers often sell credit cards, insurance and loans, with little regard to feasibility, even at rural branches.
“They want us to sell insurance, credit cards, loans … like I’m a banker, not a street seller. The pressure is continuous. The narration of the rural branch to make FD 1 crore every day,” Reddit wrote.
The contribution also emphasized the serious lack of employees and long working hours. “There are three of us who do six people work. You can’t even go to the bathroom without being crazy,” added the user, telling how they were forced to work until 21:00, even though they had a high fever just to tell him, “We all work up to 10, why do you complain?”
An anonymous banker said he often feels imprisoned by the illusion of employment, because the ending of government status is often negatively perceived by family and society.

“I go to bed every night and think,” I should stop. “But then you remember that it is a government work and everyone will tell you that you are crazy, that you even thought about leaving.
The sincere place ends with a sharp warning to those who are preparing for government banking exams:
“It’s not respectful, it’s exhausting. It’s not safe, it’s a trap … If you’re thinking about this career, be ready. That’s not what you see from outside. It’s a nightmare.”
The Internet is responding
The user responded to the post and wrote, “Stop, do what you think is right and thank me later. Many more and I left SBI and banks his Ilka. I never regret my decision.”
Another user wrote: “Sarkari Mindset. Even Peon thinks they are owners. I’m glad I left my banking work and joined the company at the right time.”
“To leave. Nothing is worth your peace. You will find another job. You can’t find another life,” the third user wrote.
