Viral Video: The video of an Indian youth working in Singapore is going viral, in which he has described the big difference between the work culture of India and Singapore. According to him, in India he had to beg to take leave, while in Singapore he just had to send an e-mail.
Indian Man in Singapore Viral Video: An Indian youth who went from India to Singapore for a job shared such a video that it sparked a huge debate on social media regarding work culture. In the video, he made a clear comparison between leave taking, office timings and boss’s attitude in India and Singapore. This is the reason why thousands of people are seeing and commenting on this post by connecting it with their real life. The name of this person is Aman, who shifted to Singapore about a year ago. He said that in India, asking for leave sometimes felt like a favor and begging, whereas in Singapore, he simply informs his manager, there is no need to give any explanation or emotional reason.
In India- Sir please give leave, in Singapore only information is necessary
According to Aman, to take leave in India, many times employees are forced to tell stories, such as emergency at home, ill health of a relative, etc. To be honest, you have to beg for leave, but in Singapore an email is enough – I’ll be out of office from Monday to Wednesday. There is no need to explain to anyone why you are going here.
Working long hours in office is hard work in India whereas in abroad it is exploitation
Aman says that after 6 pm in Singapore, his life is completely his own. No calls, no messages, no guilt. According to him, in India, sitting in office for long hours is often considered as hard work, but abroad it is considered as exploitation. Aman said in his video that in a healthy work culture, the employee does not have to give clarification for leave. People found his words so relatable that the video went viral within no time.

Why are people of India connecting with such videos?
Due to increasing workload and overtime culture in India, people start feeling connected to such videos. Leave has to be sought under duress rather than as a matter of right. Whereas in foreign countries there is respect for time and also professional boundaries. After office hours, the employee has the freedom to live his life.
