Ankur Sachdeva, a Madhya Pradesh native who moved to Australia in 2022, quit his job at one of the country’s Big Four banks, citing pressure from an Indian manager who called him after office hours and marked nearly every task as urgent. Sachdeva said the demands left him unable to spend time with his newborn child. He has since joined the Australian government and runs an Instagram page with his wife, Priyanka, sharing humorous content about life in Australia. Sachdeva’s video recounting his experience sparked a wider social media debate about Indian managers and workplace boundaries overseas. Some users shared similar stories, while others said workplace culture varies by organisation. He described finding a new job as difficult due to a challenging Australian job market at the time.
