This. Bringing up UK in this context is inherently implying that it is the country one lives in that is responsible for the quality of work culture. In particular, it implies the work culture in UK is by default better than in India. That's just bad.

And if someone doesn't get that, just replace that with "Here in Germany" or "Here in the USA" and you instinctively understand the notion of nationalism this transpires.



Sure, I get that. I live in the UK though, I didn't want to put the company I work for, it's that simple. The original poster was in India, which is known for a little more strict conditions, also. I've also never needed to use any obfuscated interface to check on scores etc, anywhere I've worked here.


There is a certain culture in the UK that it is OK to monitor the cricket scores. I have seen this multiple times. Test cricket is a 5 day event, so you do not need to monitor too closely in most situations
