The "9-to-5" banking industry, once popular in the mainland, is slowly losing its appeal to young people

2022-02-23 The "9-to-5" banking industry, once popular in the mainland, is slowly losing its appeal to young people. According to internal media reports, the turnover rate of banks has remained high in recent years. According to the annual reports of listed banks, as of the middle of 2021, the average number of employees in listed banks is 64,900 per household, a decrease of 70,300 per household compared with 2015. Among them, tellers, lobby managers, account managers and other grassroots employees are this batch of employees. The main force behind the resignation wave. After graduating from graduate school, Xiao Li stayed in a bank for more than 2 years, and now he is ready to resign to take the civil service exam. During the two-year grassroots organization, she worked as a teller, service specialist and other positions. But every day "eight to nine", she didn't even have time to eat, and even suffered from kidney stones and cervical vertebra hyperplasia. In addition to hard work, uncompetitive salaries are also factors that keep young people away from banks, the analysis said. According to the workplace information platform, the average monthly salary of bank tellers in the five major banks is between 4,500-5,500 yuan (equivalent to about 5,537-4,470 yuan in Hong Kong dollars), plus the performance of subsidies, etc., the average annual income of tellers in the five major banks is about 100,000 yuan . According to reports, the popularization of financial technology, the acceleration of bank dataization, and the deployment of smart teller machines in bank branches have replaced some of the jobs that originally belonged to tellers, and also caused employees to leave. As of December 22, 2021, a total of 2,398 bank branches of commercial banking institutions have ceased operations. Today, the popular Weibo topic "Have you resigned from the bank today?" has 60,000 posts and as many as 330 million views, and teachers and civil servants have become new choices for these resigners.
