From experience yes it happened to me. From exp I can say, defintely where Indians are "Team Leaders" lol they might not even be TL's!! But they act like it, due to arrogance they think they know better and will start bossing the newcomers around. In interviews they don't explain who is what and any problems, who YOU will be reporting / listening to. The Indian main boss or manager will dump the explanation as well as training on anyone for newcomers.
White run Management, they will tell u at interview OR first hour in your role: expectations, any problems who to report to and who to listen to. Now You know who's TL, Manager and the boss to the trained staff.
Hmm I’ve never had a job where there are that many team leads at once. Seems odd to me. Luckily all the jobs I’ve had my leadership teams were pretty ok.
