She quoted the colleague saying, &#8220;EK CHAMAAT MAARENGE, BIHAR PAHUCH JAOGI,&#8221; translating to &#8220;I will slap you so hard, you will go back to Bihar.&#8221; Despite reporting this to her manager, no action was taken. In a subsequent team meeting, she was told to dismiss the comment as a &#8220;hatred comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/embed\/feed\/update\/urn:li:share:7202948415259828224\" height=\"1460\" width=\"504\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" title=\"Embedded post\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>HSBC Employee Allege Inadequate HR Response<\/h2>\n<p>Following the incident, Kumari claimed that she filed a POSH (<a data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/prevention-of-sexual-harassment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prevention of Sexual Harassment<\/a>) complaint with the HR team. However, weeks later, on May 3, she said she received an email asking for feedback on the incident without any updates on the actions taken.<\/p>\n<p>In another instance, she alleged that a colleague made an objectifying remark, saying, &#8220;Tmhare jaisi ladki hum aaj tk ni dekhe hai, akele pura UK team ka naam kharab kr k rkhi hai,&#8221; which translates to &#8220;He has never seen a girl like me; I have ruined the name of their team.&#8221; When questioned, the colleague justified his comment by stating, &#8220;tmhare alawa kisi UK team ki ladki ko hm ni dkhe hai cigarette pite huye,&#8221; meaning he had never seen any girl from the UK team smoking cigarettes. Kumari also observed the same colleague eating tobacco and spitting on the office premises.<\/p>\n<h2>Public Outrage<\/h2>\n<p>Kumari&#8217;s post received significant attention, with many expressing support and encouraging her to find a better workplace. One user wrote, &#8220;Girl, you have got guts and grit. Not everyone has it.&#8221; Another user commented, &#8220;Good for you for standing up for yourself. The failure of HSBC to act on such vile behaviour is not your fault.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many commenters called for HSBC to take action. One user wrote, &#8220;Good work Nikita, the person should be fired from the company to set an example. HSBC please look into this matter. It&#8217;s not acceptable, being tortured.&#8221;<br \/><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:29--><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/ek-chamaat-maarenge-bihar-pahunch-jaogi-hsbc-hyderabad-employee-alleges-workplace-harassments-linkdin-post-goes-viral\/articleshow\/110757299.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent LinkedIn post by HSBC employee Nitika Kumari has sparked widespread discussion about workplace toxicity.
