Saloni Garg: Recently, a 27-year-old woman officer working with the State Bank of India (SBI) died by suicide in her room in the Bhawarkuan police station area of Indore. This news had shattered the entire banking industry. But now, there’s one more such news. A 26-year-old Bank PO working in Federal Bank has passed away. A Young Bank Officer Saloni Garg, has passed away and this is a shocking loss to the banking community.

She passed away on April 26, 2025, at her home in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Her funeral was held the following day, on April 27. Saloni Garg had joined Federal Bank on March 23, 2024. In a short span of time, she had worked at branches in Jaipur, Malviya Nagar, Kharkari Nahar, and most recently, at the Centralized Administrative Division (CAD) in New Delhi. She was widely recognized as a dedicated and promising officer. Saloni Garg was born on 13.08.1998 and joined the services on 20.03.2024. She is survived by her spouse and parents.

Recently, Saloni Garg was transferred to the Hauz Khas branch in New Delhi as part of a routine transfer process. However, she was reportedly unhappy with this transfer. She had approached the bank management, requesting to be moved to another department due to personal and health-related reasons. Unfortunately, her request was not considered in time. She then reached out to the bank’s officers’ association for help.

It appears Saloni was experiencing many hardships. In her LinkedIn posts, she mentioned the toxic work culture in the bank.

In this post, you can see that she has mentioned about late sitting. She has mentioned that you will have to sit late in the office because your boss likes to sit late in the office and your performance is calculated as per this only. Late sitting is becoming a very wrong culture in banks. It should be stopped as it impacts the work-life balance of employees and also negatively impacts the employees.

She shared the post of a user regarding office politics. The post said – “Office politics is becoming a major reason for the downfall of hardworking professionals, and it is contributing to the rising unemployment rate in India. Talented employees who dedicate themselves to their work are often sidelined due to favoritism, internal power struggles, and biased decision-making. Instead of recognizing and rewarding talent, many organizations allow toxic workplace politics to thrive, leading to the unjust removal of skilled employees. The worst part is that management often turns a blind eye to these issues, either ignoring or enabling such behavior.”

In this post, she expressed that some managers are so immature that they seek only fame, recognition, and attention, completely forgetting the human side of our work. She emphasized that we are all colleagues brought together by the workplace, each with our own financial or emotional needs.

So, as you can understand from her LinkedIn posts, she was not happy with the work environment of her office and was constantly expressing her frustration on LinkedIn. The Banking Industry needs a change otherwise we will keep losing gems like Saloni and others.
