Woman Pays Rs 2 Lakh Bond to Leave Bank Job Citing Harsh Work Conditions
Madhurima, a 31-year-old woman from West Bengal, quit her government-owned bank job in rural Karnataka after enduring over 12-hour workdays, denied leave, and harsh conditions that led to a severe urinary tract infection. Despite earning Rs 70,000 monthly with housing allowance, she paid a Rs 2 lakh bond penalty to resign and accepted a new job at half her previous salary. She described the experience as mentally taxing, with little time for personal life during mandatory training and work.
