One aspect of the corporate culture in India that turns me off completely is our abject disregard to the time of our colleagues. Of course, we dont manage our time any better, but we blatantly mistreat that of our coworkers. We dont think twice before interrupting a coworker and loading him up with work.
If the relationship is boss-subordinate, its just gets worse. Just being the boss seems to vest them with uninhibited powers over the time of the team. You can interrupt them at will, call them up at any time of the day, order them to show up on weekend. The sad part is that these actions impact productivity and morale. Employees end up staying late because work plans are thrown out of gear. They end up hating the boss coz of all the weekends they have to put in. The worst part of this whole circus is that our bosses dont even put in a word of appreciation when employees stay late or a word of apology for ruining their weekend.
