In today’s time, when it becomes difficult for many people to maintain a balance between work pressure and personal life, a story from abroad has attracted the attention of millions of people. This is the story of Ashwini Thamke, an Indian professional working in the Netherlands, whose experience is not only emotional but also shows how a sensitive workplace culture can be.
sudden family trouble
Ashwini Thamke was working in the Netherlands when suddenly a serious medical emergency occurred in her family. The circumstances were such that he had to return to India immediately without much planning. During this time, the biggest concern in his mind was how to tell this to his office and manager.
Like many people who have worked in India, he was afraid that he might be asked difficult questions, or that demands for leave and work from home might create an uncomfortable environment.
Dare to talk to the manager
After reaching India, Ashwini contacted her manager. She clearly explained her family situation and asked if she could work from Mumbai for some time. There was a fear in his mind that perhaps he would be forced to choose between work and family. But what happened after this was absolutely surprising for him.
The boss’s answer that won hearts
Ashwini’s manager not only understood her situation without any hesitation but also responded with complete understanding. He said that if Ashwini feels capable, she can work from India and if she has to stay away from work completely, then she should feel free to take leave. The clear message from the manager was that family comes first, don’t take stress. This answer was no less than a relief for Ashwini. He told that in that conversation, his health and mental condition were given priority over work.
Different experience from Indian workplace
Recalling this experience, Ashwini said that this reaction was completely new for her. Many times in India, employees are afraid to ask for leave even in emergency situations, because they fear losing their job, promotion or image. Coming from this background, the trust and humane treatment he received in the Netherlands made him emotional. He felt that work-life balance is not just a word here but is actually adopted.
Share story on social media
Ashwini shared her experience on Instagram. His post quickly went viral and became a topic of discussion among people. Many users praised the work culture of the Netherlands, while some people said that they have found such supportive bosses in India too.
Some people also said that good work culture does not depend only on the country but on the attitude of the management and the team. Many users believed that sympathy and respect motivates employees more than any financial gain.
