In a heart-wrenching incident, Tarun Saxena, a 42-year-old area manager at Bajaj Finance in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly took his own life due to extreme work pressure and mental torture inflicted by his superiors.
His suicide note sheds light on the unbearable conditions faced by employees within the organization.
Tragic Suicide of Bajaj Finance Employee
Tarun Saxena’s suicide note revealed the immense stress he was under. He cited relentless pressure from his seniors to meet targets and the constant threat of a pay cut.
Assigned to collect EMIs for Bajaj Finance loans in his area, Tarun struggled to achieve his goals despite his best efforts.
His letter also highlighted repeated humiliation by superiors, pushing him to the brink.
Tarun alleged that his seniors forced him to cover unpaid EMIs from his area, adding to his stress. He hadn’t slept for 45 days, hardly ate, and felt overwhelmed by the mounting pressure.
Senior managers, he claimed, demanded results at any cost or urged him to quit.
Tarun expressed his fear of losing his job, a common concern in high-pressure work environments. The constant threat of pay cuts and the weight of unmet targets took a toll on his mental health.
The toxic work culture extended beyond stress. Tarun faced repeated humiliation from his superiors. His letter named specific individuals responsible for his plight, urging his family to file a police complaint against them.
Industry Reflection
Tarun Saxena’s tragic death has sparked a national conversation about toxic work environments. It echoes the case of 26-year-old chartered accountant Anna Sebastian Perayil, whose mother’s letter exposed similar workplace pressures.
In summary, Tarun Saxena’s suicide highlights the urgent need for organizations to prioritize employee well-being, address toxic work cultures, and provide mental health support.
As we mourn this loss, let us also reflect on the broader issue of workplace stress and its devastating consequences.
