Suicide of young Kerala bank manager brings to fore unhealthy working conditions K.S. Swapna, 38, was found hanging at her branch on April 9
The suicide of a young Kerala bank manager, a widow and mother of two, has once again brought to the fore the extreme pressure and unhealthy working conditions that many bank employees have to face daily.
Prolonged working hours, a sharp increase in targets that include the selling of even third-party financial and insurance products, a shrinking workforce, mergers and privatisation, and abusive seniors have come together to exert tremendous pressure on bank employees, staff and union leaders said.
