Overview
- The Instagram video, which circulated on July 17, 2026, was posted by Nupur Dave and lists six complaints including last-minute meeting cancellations, long waits, deference to authority, lax note-taking, defensive feedback, and a different sense of time.
- Dave said meetings were often rescheduled for people without authority and that attendees may wait from minutes to an hour because earlier discussions run over.
- She described a culture where managers sometimes prefer agreeable hires and where designers or others make undocumented changes, which she said weakens clarity and follow-up.
- The post has drawn a large online response with many returnees and commenters agreeing, while journalists and readers noted the claims are anecdotal and media outlets have not independently verified them.
- The conversation taps into a broader issue about how global work norms meet local practices and could affect returnees’ hiring choices, team processes, and expectations about punctuality and documentation.
