Foreign Manager Video: The experience of an Indian employee is becoming increasingly viral on social media, which has sparked a new discussion about work-life balance and the sensitivity of managers. In the video shared on Instagram, a person named Saurabh Verma told that it was his child’s first day in preschool.
For this reason, he attended an office meeting a little late. When he explained the reason for the delay to his overseas manager, the manager asked him a question he did not expect. The manager expressed surprise and asked why he had attended the meeting at all, when it was such an important day in his child’s life.

Foreign manager granted leave on child’s first day of preschool
According to Saurabh, his manager clearly told him that he should not work that day and should spend time with his child. The manager said that the first day of preschool can be emotional and challenging for any child, so the support of parents is very important for him.
Saurabh told that the manager almost forced him to leave the meeting and take leave. Impressed by this experience, he said in the video that would any Indian manager in such a situation advise the employee to leave work and give priority to the family? He acknowledged that in many Indian workplaces, such issues are often ignored as normal.

Foreign corporate culture is better than India
After the video went viral, thousands of people gave their opinion. Many social media users pointed out that foreign managers often understand employees’ personal lives and family responsibilities better. Some people shared their experiences and said that they had to face the pressure of continuous work even in difficult family circumstances.
One user wrote that his child was admitted in the hospital, yet the manager was repeatedly calling to join the office. At the same time, many people said that there is a need to increase sensitivity towards the personal circumstances of employees in Indian corporate culture. This video has once again raised the question whether human sensibilities should be given equal importance along with productivity at the workplace.
