  1. The new CMD is posted there to make the life hell for PNB staffs.. He is the pupil of CMD of Canara Bank who has put staffs exploitation as his no 1 top policy in Canara bank

  2. The day is not far when bank employees will start self immolation in bank premises to protest toxic work place practices

  3. In Banking industry, Higher authority who climbed the higher level with shoe licking are creating this type of unrest among staff. Their egoistic behaviour is supported by corrupted superiors.
    Until fair and transparent rules implemented this type of attitude cannot be stopped.

    In other PSBs also we can see such type of attitude.

  4. यह एक अतिवादी निर्णय है
    किसी भी व्यक्ति की यदि छुट्टी मना कर दी जाए तो क्या वह अपनी आवाज भी नहीं उठा सकता

    घोर निंदा की जानी चाहिए इस निर्णय की

    हिटलर शाही वाला निर्णय

  5. He should drag it to court and make them sorry in front of court since status of an employee after working hours didn’t fall into the guidelines of bank policy. No policy can control a person’s freedom of expression. This is violation of constitutional rights.

  6. This is uncalled for. The senior authority should be suspended for issuing this childish suspension order

  7. HIGHER AUTHORITIES ARE BEHAVIOR IS LIKE A SUPER BOSS MANAGER CAN’T BE SANCTIONED CASUAL LEAVE .I THINK THAT MANAGERS R BONDED LABOUR’S OF MANGMENNT. THEY MUST KEEP SOFT HEART. THEY SHOULD NOT KEEP DANDA ALWAYS TO DE MORILISE THE 2 ND LINE OF MANAGEMENT.

  8. There was no necessity to take such a drastic action against the manager. Management should have cautioned him. Even top Management officials also go on leave.

  9. As per freedom of expression, we have a right to vent and express our feelings. There is a high court order from Madurai bench of Madras high court, related to a similar case wherein court has quashed the punishment issued by bank.
