Reflecting on his work experience with earlier bosses, the employee said that he never encountered any instances of racism from them. He shared that both of his past managers genuinely cared about the employees. From health and families to the work environment, the past managers were empathetic towards their employees. According to the employee, the Canadian manager 'never overloaded' the employees with work and took their opinions into consideration.
Calling the ex-boss elder sister, the employee added,“I was even happy to work an extra hour or two sometimes because of her. She always made sure we were comfortable, and she'd go the extra mile, like giving us Amazon gift cards and even sending us t-shirts.”

Social media reaction
The post sparked online discussions after the employee questioned whether it is common for Indian managers to be difficult. A user stated,“The managers in the west .... want to establish dominance and hierarchy.” Another user remarked,“Yes, to my experience till date. They think they are God for their reportees....Though, I have worked with good Indian managers. I would say even Indian employees don't want to feel emplyees but servant. They keep saying Yes to everything[sic]."
