‘My job is in trouble, pls understand’: Man claims ‘emotional atyaachaar’ from bank’s salesperson. Here’s what happened
A Reddit user recounted being emotionally blackmailed by an IndusInd Bank salesperson after declining a credit card application. The salesperson claimed their job was at risk due to the user's rejection.
A Reddit user recently shared a troubling experience with a salesperson from IndusInd Bank. According to the user, the salesperson claimed they would lose their job if the customer did not apply for a credit card.
Initially, the user had planned to get a credit card but later decided against it. When the user informed the salesperson of their decision, the salesperson allegedly resorted to emotional manipulation.
What did the Reddit post say?
"I was contacted by a salesperson from IndusInd for the Legend CC. Though initially I agreed to opt for it, I later realised that having that card even though LTF (lifetime free credit card) is not worth it for me. This I mentioned it to her that I’m no longer interested.
And then starts this emotional atyaachaar 🥲🥲
She’s hell bent on guilt tripping me that she’s going to lose her job cuz I rejected a CC(credit card) [sic]," the user wrote.
While describing the incident on Reddit, the user shared a screenshot of the conversation with the salesperson.
Salesperson's request
"Hi sir have u completed the vkyc sir
Hi sir Priya Here from indusind bank trying to reach u sir pls respond.. have u completed the vkyc sir ...bcod ur application my job is into trouble sir pls understand [sic]," the screenshot read.
Social media reacts
Several Reddit users reacted to the post and claimed that a similar incident also happened to them.
One of the users commented, “The same thing happened to me. I just told them that you are not cut out for this job since you failed to convince me to get a useless card and that was too a paid card. Get a different job. You are not cut out for sales [sic].”
The user added, "Then a few months later, the same person called and told me that they got a job in customer service in the same bank. Apparently when they reviewed my call recording, the manager called them and issued a transfer to customer service. They thanked me. I honestly thought they would've been fired but glad it went differently. That manager is a good guy [sic]."
Another user said, “Yes bank same case happened with me. I was trying to apply for rio credit card rupay she tried to apply for something else. I filled all details and then dint do vkyc for few days she was like pls do it , I will help u make lifetime free by doing rent payment from her side. I refused. Cuz of that my rio card was pending and one day I get message that rio card has been dispatched I dint even so vkyc neither do I have a bank acct. Since it was a lifetime free card I kept it. Btw it's sad but it's always better to ignore [sic].”
“If her job is at risk just because of you, she's not a very good salesperson. I would reply this if someone said that to me [sic],” one of the users commented.
Another added, “I hate these guilt traps, I have these credit card fold folks calling me on my birthday to guilt trip me for availing new cards that I do not need [sic].”
