On the post titled “Canadian work culture”, the employee explained, “The guy called “M” is my manager. It’s not that we are too laid back in our work, in fact have pulled late nights too. But when it comes to health and taking offs that’s respected or rather promoted.”
Netizens were quick to comment on the video. They urged Indians to get inspired. Others spoke of their experiemces in India. One wrote, “Indians should learn from this. My manager is literally an a*** he says who are you to take decisions when ever i punchout on time. Indian work places are full of bullies.” A second individual commented, “It’s well known how indians behave in work place vs western people. We have grown up that way, ill treat servants and poor people and also get illtreated by powerful and rich ones. Reflected in culture.”
A third person stated, “I think good managers also exist. I have worked in various companies in India for almost 15 years and barring my first manager everyone has been very good. Now that I have my own small company. I do the same with my employees.”
