Chirag Madaan, a graduate from IIIT Delhi, took to Instagram to share that he quit his high-paying job for two reasons: culture and mis-selling. After graduating, he joined a bank, thinking he would work a 9-to-5 job and have a good life. But the reality turned out very different.

Chirag revealed that he did not even have time to eat lunch properly. Slowly, other things started changing too. The work hours stretched from 9 am to 7 pm. What was supposed to be five days a week turned into six days. Employees were expected to finish lunch in just 15 minutes and get back to work. He also shared that he could not take sick leave easily. Whenever he asked for it, he had to justify how he fell sick. Honestly, this sounds quite bad, right?

Unrealistic Targets At The Job

Taking privilege leaves was difficult, too. Apart from that, the company expected employees to achieve ₹10 crore sales every month. The IIIT Delhi graduate shared that it was so toxic that if a person was not able to bring that amount, the bank managers became very toxic towards them. Not just that, Chirag also said the bank expected employees to sell costly apps to customers even when they were not worth buying. This is a classic case of mis-selling.

In short, it is clear that this IIIT Delhi graduate chose his mental health over a ₹17 lakh per annum package. Netizens were impressed with Chirag for revealing the reality of such jobs. One user wrote, “No one has the guts to tell the dark reality of the bank. You tolerated brother. Keep it up,” while another commented, “I feel ya, bro. Just left my banking job for literally the same reasons. These places really start making you doubt your calibre.” Many users said he did the right thing because no toxic place is really worth it.
