An Indian professional’s viral account describes a culture shock experience in Norway, where he says his Norwegian manager reprimands him for working too much. According to the reports, the employee is reportedly told to stop working during weekends and is criticized for cancelling a planned vacation. The post has sparked widespread discussion online, with many people linking the story to broader themes of work-life balance, burnout, and differences in workplace expectations across countries. The coverage from both outlets focuses on the account itself and the reaction it generates on social media, rather than providing additional verification from the workplace. Overall, the story is presented as a firsthand experience that contrasts a work culture the professional associates with longer hours or stricter availability expectations with what he portrays as Norway’s approach to limiting working time and protecting personal time.
