The job in the bank is wrapped by financial ideas, underestimates the social and reveals itself as a weaken machine which invalidates the bank clerks, who show increasing rates of depression. There was, thus, a need to identify the depressive experiences in the banking environment, its effects overwork relations and subjectivity of workers in the light of the qualitative approach, from Clinical Sociology and Psychodynamic of Work. The speech of the bank clerks revealed the precariousness of working conditions, which impose the ethics of individualism, fear and loneliness, abdication of desires, kidnapping of speech, intelligence and depression: a danger sign that demands a review of management practices and established relationships between banks and bank clerks, in order to facilitate the regaining of consciousness and autonomy, besides the empowerment of governance, and therefore, the rescue of solidarity, trust, renewal of desires and pleasure at work.
