Indian bosses are the worst in the world. Indian corporates and leaders are some of the worst when it comes to fair treatment of employees. In 2004, I worked for a Indo German JV in NCR region. We worked hard and build the company. When we were launching the product in a 5 star hotel in Mumbai, the entire team comprising of Germans and Indian had to travel there. The Indian bosses responsible, booked me and my colleagues (juniors) in a cheaper hotel away from the 5 star hotel while they booked the Germans and other seniors in the 5 star hotel. When my German boss learnt about it, he got really upset. He told the admin head, you either downgrade us or upgrade everyone else. They upgraded everyone else. But they were not happy. When the Germans left India, it was back to the old ways. There maybe some exceptions but Indian bosses are some of the worst, and most Indian companies give 2 flying fucks about work life balance. In Europe, I have 45 paid leaves a yeah in addition to all other national leaves. The employee rights and interests are well represented by the employee unions. People come to office any time between 6.30 am to 9.30 am, work their hours, take their breaks, and leave on time to spend time with their family or do what they like. Of course there are some that work longer hours but nobody questions you if you do your job, respect your hours and leave on time. So if you are an Indian leader, don’t be the asshole in the post below that considers Saturday and Sunday as paid leaves and thinks that Indians have the best work life balance. He has probably never traveled in a Virar local from Borivali to Churchgate, or driven after work on the western expressway between Andheri and Mira Road.
