The senior management that set those unreasonable targets for this branch have wiped their hands clean. It's easy to merely point finger at this manager, but those people above him pushing exorbitant targets are left off the hook. This manager might be replaced, but whoever replacing him will be faced with similar challenges and will eventually turn into another toxic manager

Legend has it this is the calmest bank employee in the world

The corporates, banks,schools - private sector in India treats it's employees like slaves. Please join the discussion. As long as Indian employees continue taking bad behavior, this exploitation won't end.

Imagine when everyone start uploading their such type of meetings in social media.

I am an ex-HDFC and I am glad they have still kept their culture intact. 😂

Knowing Bank culture, HDFC will issue a memo setting tough guidelines into recording videos and audios of Zoom calls. Nothing will happen on the toxic culture issue, it will continue as it is

HDFC is more interested in finding out which employee leaked the video. If a senior VP behaves in this way it speaks about the organization culture which propagates top down. Suspension is just a damage control exercise because of leaked video.

Illustration of the beautiful work culture of india and the beautiful labour law of india... Just beautiful.. Jai Hind

The sad thing is the main objective of internal investigation would be to find out who leaked this video. This kind of arm twisting is common in IT offices as well. But because we can't record nothing gets out.

Now we know why so many bankers sell misleading products. They are often forced by their seniors in such a horrific way they have no other choice. They are bound to sell those covers to customers even if they don't want to because of such bosses.

Toxicity aside, that guy really had a theatrical presence of cussing at his juniors.😂

I work in Australia now. Its a massive difference from indian work culture. People treat you with respect, doesnt matter what job it is. I was scared to even resign my job in india as they wouldnt provide me with my experience certificate. Which is very important piece of document in health sector. I had to go to HR every day for a month to convince them. The way they spoke to me and the attitude was very bad

This guy is ‘C’ for sure, imagine how he treats family and closed ones. He has never seen any consequences for his actions.

They don't treat employees like humans, you give salary it doesn't mean they are your slaves

“I’ll turn your happiness into sadness” imagine what his kids have to deal with if he were even to find a partner before that💀. This a problem fr professional haters

This is why we need employee unions even in private sector

I am an hdfc bank employee, i wouldn't have control my laughter if he was in my voice call 😅

2 min of silence for those who have believed that a manager job in HDFC was a honour.

Office politics is very much common now a days, employees who are closely connected to their bosses are treated differently. In simple language they are working as personal slave.

Sad that people have to digest this behaviour on daily basis.

This is common culture, verbal abuse is a norm and physical abuse is not a rarity too. Go to any service organisation, be it Bank, Insurance, Accounting firms, Tax firms, audit firms, hospitality, F&B etc. abusing juniors, exploitation, mental disintegration, toxic politics is a part and parcel of the game.

I understood the reason behind polite behaviour of bank employees If a person tolerate this much of scolding,can tolerate any thing

"We at HDFC have a zero tolerance" that sure is true

This is more normalised than we think. Imagine the mental health of the employees.

It's not just Pushpal that needs to resign...this kind of culture cannot simply permeate without the CEO knowing and acquiescing to such behaviour...it's Sasidhar Jagdishan who needs to resign with immediate effect !!!

*Now he has become the 8th Wonder of this universe* 🙂🙂🙂

I am one of the 58% people who left Bank sales job due to such culture in every bank. I worked from 2005 to 2011. I was depressed, thought I was of no use . Now I’m a successful entrepreneur

When he asked those employees if he’s an idiot, they should’ve all unanimously said “yes”.

He's not the only one. Most of the sales manager aise hi karte hain.

That is why work-from-home is required. It saves workers from toxic work environments everywhere and reduces stress. All these logics given by CEOs in favor of work-from-office are utter rubbish!

HDFC tried to be good in disguise, but their targets are the cause of such behavior

In Indian languages, jobs are called "Chakri", "Naukri" which means someone who's a chakor/naukar so this type of mentality still lingers that in your getting paid, you're their slave/servant

I knew a guy who joined HDFC and his manager would threaten him with life if he didn't meet the sales target. Poor boy used to stay upset all the time. Nothing happened to his boss even after police report.

Now we should all start recording video calls and voice calls as well. To ensure that we show the toxicity of work places to the real world.

This is the story of almost NBFCs like Bajaj Finance, Capital India, Pvt banks such as Axis, HDFC, HSBC, Citi and all small finance banks.

This is the conversation happening in all banks at this time. If the work culture needs to change it needs to be in the entire banking system.

After watching this I feel like quitting my job even though I'm unemployed

This is the only video that got viral, most are unheard.

He needs a Srikant Tiwari in his team.

I have heard worse than this from my closest friends, they even have taken insurance policy from their own money just to meet targets.

I knew about Bank culture in 2008 only when one of the seniors threatened to escalate his work to seniors if not done that day. Then I realized that the MBA degree has no value if you are not delivering the objectives for which you are hired.

Employee log bhi insaan hai.. itna stress lena boht mushkil hota hai...

can’t even imagine how he would treat his wife & kids! this guy has serious anger management problems. He needs therapy

Huge respect for Biswanath, Sagnik and other officers of the Indian banking system. Don't worry, the awareness has been created, soon upper management will stop treating employees as feriwala (salesman).

A big Salute to the person who uploaded this video on social media and LinkedIn is flooded with this video.. I had to leave my previous company because of the ruthless behaviour of Manager, such Managers should be shamed in public and now is the high time to end the toxic culture who threthens the employees..

The guy is actually a symptom of the disfunctional corporate world.

And after this customer expect the staff to deal them with a smile on their face.

Reminds me of our manager. She does nothing and yells and insults other employees. Our department has a high rate of resignation.

Boss : shouts Junior : reduces volume

If in europe he will be jailed ! There are strict laws! Also, imagine how he behaves with his wife or kids at home.

my employer once threatened me like this and issued apology on pdf

Such jokers are bosses ,not even basic ethics of talking to a person

He got exposed and is getting all the flack, but this is the case with all banks trying to push garbage schemes onto customers.

The corporate work culture in India is "amazing". This video says it all.

Shows evidently how HDFC's work culture sucks!

I have worked with Indian employers and US/EU employers and there is a marked difference in work culture here and there, while India has a prevalent "sir ji" culture, for US/EU all employees are treated on the same level and this is primarily because of the laws and regulations that protects the employees in those countries, whereas here, we have regulations in name only and it also gets topped off by the exploitative mentality of people in power like this person. The system needs to be changed from top to bottom, only then will we stop seeing such videos, this was terrible - to actually have to sit and take crap for a person like this for the sake of our jobs.

This is nothing compared to what my friend, who is a former employee, told me what happens during meetings. Juniors get blatant threats, and constantly abused (literal gaali galoch)... happens in many corporate banks, especially in insurance dept. But what I think is that this type of culture is common in many private sectors--not good for mental health.

What if someone someday smashes a baseball bat on his head and his eyes actually pop out of the socket out of the impact... Who would be to blame then?

I personally feel that India falls significantly behind Australia or the USA when it comes to work culture. I find myself regretting my decision to pursue my MBA here. Despite graduating from a top MBA college, the seniors in my company treat me with disrespect. I am required to work long hours, usually 10 to 12 hours a day, and even work on Sundays to prepare for the upcoming week. To be honest, life in the Indian corporate sector feels extremely challenging and frustrating. Actually I have made up my mind to pursue another master's degree in the USA next year and plan to settle there permanently.

And the sad part is Govt is trying to privatize Public sectors banks to make things worst...

His senior who would have treated him the same way should also be investigated.

When he says OYE, I swear I thought his eyes are going to fall out through the screen into my lap 😅

Something tells me he didn't like his lunch break very much that day

India actually needs strong labour law.

Health insurance in this workplace should be without ceiling.....

Every industry has just become about targets. And that’s where the unnecessary pressure is being build up!

my question is where does an employee report such behaviour so that the 'boss' can be exposed?

This person needs immediate medical treatment.

Indian government should really take drastic measures to bring work life balance in corporate culture.

HDFC is scapegoating this guy. They should be made to pay a hefty fine to the tune of crores for abusive workplace practices, mental torture of employees and misleading customers to meet targets. Only then a little change will be seen.

Thanks to all the news channels to spread the msg clear to these companies

The boss is the best employee of the bank who meets targets

Next, you will read the news, "HDFC makes record profit in Q1."

Keep exposing such persons, it will unarm their bosses.

Yes its true with toxic work culture,boss people either quit or forced to quit.Not only applies to banks in india it applies various sectors

I am studying for banking exams 😂

Neighbors say he has not stopped shouting since.

Not only this bugger, but all hdfc senior gadhas are less educated, brute and hooligans are like this one.

This man is exact copy of republic tv anchor arnab goswami 😅😅

I dont know why i cracked up when he brought his face closer to the cam 0:54 keeping jokes aside now i understood why my father would always come home frustrated from his workplace

HDFC needs to sort this. This should not end in just his suspension. And the internal investigation should NOT focus on “who recorded this!!”

Never join this bank as a fresher if you want trouble, sleep less night and zero self respect if anyone want this wonderful experience you can join here😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine the profanities he might have received from his top management

this is even funnier if u understand Bengali

Not only bank, its everywhere

This is actually the reality of any corporate job in Kolkata right now, no matter how big an MBA, or Engineer or Finance graduate you're main job criteria is a sales role trying to push company products and services.

Think about the unrecorded meetings that are happening everyday in the offices and banks.

Barking dogs seldom bites. Emploees should remember that when dealing with barking dogs

How can he expect that Bank products can be sold at will, and only reason they are not, is because of laziness of the salesman. Like literally their could be multiple reason for this. The bank branch does not have enough wealthy customers to buy those products, the product itself lack features in comparison to competition from other banks, the economic situation is risky, etc. Like he believes it's not being sold because of lack of effort from managers, shows his lack of intelligence. And the fact, that he exposes himself on video, also proves that. 😂

People who are thinking this kind of toxicity happens only in private banks need to understand that the same happens in banks like SBI where people after having no options have to do suicide.

A new policy will come into effect. No more online meetings. And no revordings of meetings allowed.

This is not only in banking sector, this is the reality of every private company, using slang, office politics, insults, humiliation, misbehaviour, mental torture are given by offices for free of cost.

Demorlised employee cannot perform. Bombarding customer with misleading offers of insurance or mutual fund only irritates customer . You cannot cheat and mislead and pressurize customer all the time. It is very difficult to open current and savings account and forcing customer to take health and other insurance. Pvt banks try to fleece customer as much as possible. Very bad situation.

You can't grow this much in an organization without support from the company, its culture, and senior management. HDFC can only blame itself. Do you have to wait for a viral video to suspend someone like him? Really??

Rather be unemployed than working under him

Manh these employees have such good patience!

Feel so sad for these guys

There are such people in every bank. Top management are extremely rash and instead of motivating employees they tend to abuse them. Long working hours and toxic environment takes a toll on the mental and physical strength of the employees.

Major factor why people are switching to freelancing,entrepreneurship or are becoming social media influencers

Even Rohit Sharma abuses his teammates out of anger. Doesn't mean he hates them 😂😂
