Ditto…. I haven’t seen any hint of such problems where I am. Absolutely incredible that adults can get away with this in a workplace environment for so long without somebody luring them to a dark alley somewhere for a good “talking to”.

Students tight on versatility. Indian training requirements much more working experience or even instruction. It is dependant on rote storage as well as concept.
